حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الصَّوَّافُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حُمْرَانَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَوْفُ بْنُ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ مِخْرَاقٍ، عَنْ أَبِي كِنَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ مِنْ إِجْلَالِ اللَّهِ إِكْرَامَ ذِي الشَّيْبَةِ الْمُسْلِمِ وَحَامِلِ الْقُرْآنِ غَيْرِ الْغَالِي فِيهِ وَالْجَافِي عَنْهُ وَإِكْرَامَ ذِي السُّلْطَانِ الْمُقْسِطِ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Glorifying Allah involves showing honour to a grey-haired Muslim and to one who can expound the Qur’an, but not to one who acts extravagantly regarding it, or turns away from it, and showing honour to a just ruler.

আবূ মূসা আল-আশ‘আরী (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ নিশ্চয়ই বৃদ্ধ মুসলিমকে সম্মান করা, কুরআনের ধারক-বাহক ও ন্যায়পরায়ণ শাসকের প্রতি সম্মান দেখানো মহান আল্লাহর প্রতি সম্মান প্রদর্শনের অন্তর্ভুক্ত।[1] হাসান সহীহ।

ابوموسیٰ اشعری رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: معمر اور سن رسیدہ مسلمان کی اور حافظ قرآن کی جو نہ اس میں غلو کرنے والا ہو ۱؎ اور نہ اس سے دور پڑ جانے والا ہو، اور عادل بادشاہ کی عزت و تکریم دراصل اللہ کے اجلال و تکریم ہی کا ایک حصہ ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ishaq bin Ibrahim Ash Shawwaf] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Humran] berkata, telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Auf bin Abu Jamilah] dari [Ziyad bin Mikhraq] dari [Abu Kinanah] dari [Abu Musa Al Asy'ari] ia berkata, "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Termasuk dari keagungan Allah adalah dimuliakannya seorang muslim yang telah beruban, para pembaca Al-Qur'an yang tidak bersikap belebihan di dalamnya (dalam membacanya memahaminya dengan mengikuti ayat-ayat mutsyabihat) dan tidak pula bersikap jauh darinya (dari membacanya, memahami maknanya dan mengamalkannya) dan penguasa yang adil

Ebu Musa el Eş'arî'den (rivayet edildiğine göre) Rasûlullah (s.a.v.) şöyle buyurmuştur: "Muhakkak ki ihtiyar müslümana, Kur'âni terk etmeyen ve yasaklarını çiğnemeyen Kur'ân hafızlarına ve adaletli devlet başkanına hürmet etmek, Allah'a saygıdandır

What it means

This Hadīth mentions things whereby one reveres Allah and glorifies Him: - Honoring the old Muslim by treating him with respect, gentleness, and compassion. By doing so, one is glorifying Allah, because the elders have a special status in the sight of Allah. - Honoring the bearer of the Qur'an (its memorizer) in his heart. Included are the reciters and interpreters of the Qur'an. The bearer of the Qur'an, as this Hadīth says, must fulfill two things: 1.

Not to exaggerate towards the Qur'an, that is not to go off the limit in applying it, tracing its ambiguities, and reading it too quickly or too slowly in such a way that one does not understand its meanings. 2. Not to turn away from the Qur'an by not mastering its recitation, knowing its meanings, and following it. Turning away also means ceasing to act upon the Qur'an after one has learned, out of negligence. Honoring the just ruler, i.e. the person in authority who treats his subjects fairly. So, he is honored for his public good and social reform.
