حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَقُولُوا لِلْمُنَافِقِ سَيِّدٌ فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ يَكُ سَيِّدًا فَقَدْ أَسْخَطْتُمْ رَبَّكُمْ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Do not call a hypocrite sayyid (master), for if he is a sayyid, you will displease your Lord, Most High.

আব্দুল্লাহ ইবনু বুরাইদাহ (রাঃ) থেকে তার পিতার সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন। তোমরা মুনাফিকের নেতা বলবে না কেননা সে যদি নেতা হয় তাহলে তোমরা তোমাদের মহামহিম আল্লাহকে রাগান্বিত করলে।[1] সহীহ।

بریدہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: تم لوگ منافق کو سید نہ کہو اس لیے کہ اگر وہ سید ہے ( یعنی قوم کا سردار ہے یا غلام و لونڈی اور مال والا ہے ) تو تم نے اپنے رب کو ناراض کیا ۱؎۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ubaidullah bin Umar bin Maisarah] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Mu'adz bin Hisyam] ia berkata; telah menceritakan kepadaku [Bapakku] dari [Qatadah] dari [Abdullah bin Buraidah] dari [Bapaknya] ia berkata, "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Jangan menyebut tuan untuk seorang munafik, sebab jika ia jadi tuan, berarti kalian telah membuat Rabb kalian 'azza wajalla murka

(Abdullah İbn Büreyde'nin) babasından (rivayet edildiğine göre) Rasûlullah (s.a.v.) şöyle buyurmuştur: "Münafığa seyyid (efendi) demeyiniz. Çünkü eğer (siz ona böyle seyyid demeye devam ederken birgün başınıza) seyyid oluverirse aziz ve celil olan Allah'ı öfkelendirmiş olursunuz

What it means

Meaning of the Hadīth: If a hypocrite is a master among his people and you call him as such, you will incur the wrath of Allah, as you revere that hypocrite who does not deserve such treatment; and if he is not a master or leader, you will be lying and flattering. So, in both cases, he forbids us from addressing a hypocrite as master, with the same applying to a disbeliever, a defiantly disobedient Muslim, or a heretic, for they do not deserve this title at all.

The prohibition was addressed to the Companions and those who came after them. Hypocrites at the time were of two types: First: Hypocrites known only to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and his confidant Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him). Second: Hypocrites known among the Companions for their hypocrisy, such as ‘Abdullāh ibn Ubayy. Those fall under the ruling stated in the Hadīth.
