حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَهْرِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْقُرَشِيَّ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بُرْدَةَ بْنَ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيَّ، يَقُولُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «إِنَّ أَعْظَمَ الذُّنُوبِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَلْقَاهُ بِهَا عَبْدٌ (بَعْدَ الْكَبَائِرِ الَّتِي نَهَى اللَّهُ عَنْهَا) أَنْ يَمُوتَ رَجُلٌ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ لَا يَدَعُ لَهُ قَضَاءً»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: After the grave sins which Allah has prohibited the greatest sin is that a man dies while he has debt due from him and does not leave anything to pay it off, and meets Him with it.

আবূ বুরদাহ ইবনু মূসা আল-আশ‘আরী (রহঃ) থেকে তার পিতার সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ আল্লাহর নিকট নিষিদ্ধ কবীরাহ গুনাহসমূহের পরে সবচেয়ে বড় গুনাহ হলো, কোনো ব্যক্তি ঋণগ্রস্ত অবস্থায় মৃত্যুবরণ করে আল্লাহর দরবারে উপস্থিত হওয়া এবং এই ঋণ পরিশোধের কোনো ব্যবস্থা না করে যাওয়া।

ابوموسیٰ اشعری رضی اللہ عنہ سے روایت ہے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: اللہ کے نزدیک ان کبائر کے بعد جن سے اللہ نے منع فرمایا ہے سب سے بڑا گناہ یہ ہے کہ آدمی مرے اور اس پر قرض ہو اور وہ کوئی ایسی چیز نہ چھوڑے جس سے اس کا قرض ادا ہو ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sulaiman bin Daud Al Mahri], telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Ibnu Wahb], telah menceritakan kepadaku [Sa'i bin Abu Ayyub], bahwa ia telah mendengar [Abu Abdullah Al Qurasyi] berkata; aku mendengar [Abu Burdah bin Abu Musa Al Asy'ari] berkata dari [ayahnya], dari Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bahwa beliau bersabda: "Sesungguhnya dosa terbesar di sisi Allah yang akan dibawa seorang hamba bertemu denganNya setelah dosa-dosa besar yang telah Allah larang adalah seseorang meninggal dalam keadaan menanggung hutang yang tidak mampu ia lunasi

Ebû Mûse'l-Eş'arî (r.a)'den, Rasûlullah (s.a.v.)'in şöyle buyurduğu rivayet edilmiştir: "Allah katında; nehyettiği büyük günahlardan sonraki en büyük günah; kişinin ödeyecek mal bırakmadan, borçlu olduğu halde Allah'ın karşısına çıkmasıdır

What it means

Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) informed that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) stood up after the stoning of Mā‘iz ibn Mālik al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) as a punishment for adultery and addressed the people saying: Avoid this filth and what is detestable and repugnant of sins that Allah has prohibited.

Whoever falls into and commits any of them must do two things: First: Conceal himself as Allah has concealed him and not disclose his sin. Second: Hasten to repent to Allah and not persist in it. As for one whose sin becomes apparent to us, we will enforce the prescribed punishment mentioned in the Book of Allah Almighty for that sin.

What it teaches

  • Encouraging the sinful person to conceal himself and repent of the sin privately between himself and his Lord.
  • Once the ruler is informed of the violation of Hudūd (legal prescribed punishments), it becomes necessary to enforce legally prescribed punishment.
  • It is obligatory to avoid sins and repent thereof.
