حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ رضى الله عنه يُحَدِّثُ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَلَسَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَجَلَسْنَا حَوْلَهُ فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي مِمَّا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِي مَا يُفْتَحُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ زَهْرَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتِهَا».

فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَوَيَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ فَسَكَتَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ مَا شَأْنُكَ تُكَلِّمُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَا يُكَلِّمُكَ فَرَأَيْنَا أَنَّهُ يُنْزَلُ عَلَيْهِ.

قَالَ فَمَسَحَ عَنْهُ الرُّحَضَاءَ فَقَالَ: «أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ «وَكَأَنَّهُ حَمِدَهُ. فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ لَا يَأْتِي الْخَيْرُ بِالشَّرِّ، وَإِنَّ مِمَّا يُنْبِتُ الرَّبِيعُ يَقْتُلُ أَوْ يُلِمُّ إِلاَّ آكِلَةَ الْخَضْرَاءِ، أَكَلَتْ حَتَّى إِذَا امْتَدَّتْ خَاصِرَتَاهَا اسْتَقْبَلَتْ عَيْنَ الشَّمْسِ، فَثَلَطَتْ وَبَالَتْ وَرَتَعَتْ، وَإِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ خَضِرَةٌ حُلْوَةٌ، فَنِعْمَ صَاحِبُ الْمُسْلِمِ مَا أَعْطَى مِنْهُ الْمِسْكِينَ وَالْيَتِيمَ وَابْنَ السَّبِيلِ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَأْخُذُهُ بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ كَالَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَلَا يَشْبَعُ، وَيَكُونُ شَهِيدًا عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»

Once the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) sat on a pulpit and we sat around him. Then he said, “The things I am afraid of most for your sake (concerning what will befall you after me) is the pleasures and splendors of the world and its beauties which will be disclosed to you.”

Somebody said, “O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)! Can the good bring forth evil?” The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) remained silent for a while.

It was said to that person, “What is wrong with you? You are talking to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) while he is not talking to you.” Then we noticed that he was being inspired divinely. Then the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) wiped off his sweat and said, “Where is the questioner?” It seemed as if the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) liked his question.

Then he said, “Good never brings forth evil. Indeed it is like what grows on the banks of a water-stream which either kill or make the animals sick, except if an animal eats its fill the Khadira (a kind of vegetable) and then faces the sun, and then defecates and urinates and grazes again. No doubt this wealth is sweet and green.

Blessed is the wealth of a Muslim from which he gives to the poor, the orphans and to needy travelers. (Or the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said something similar to it) No doubt, whoever takes it illegally will be like the one who eats but is never satisfied, and his wealth will be a witness against him on the Day of Resurrection.”

আবূ সাঈদ খুদরী (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, একদা নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম মিম্বরে বসলেন এবং আমরা তাঁর আশেপাশে বসলাম। তিনি বললেনঃ আমার পরে তোমাদের ব্যাপারে আমি যা আশঙ্কা করছি তা হলো এই যে দুনিয়ার চাকচিক্য ও সৌন্দর্য (ধন-সম্পদ) তোমাদের সামনে খুলে দেয়া হবে।

এক সাহাবী বললেন, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! কল্যাণ কি কখনো অকল্যাণ বয়ে আনে? এতে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম নীরব হলেন। প্রশ্নকারীকে বলা হলো, তোমার কী হয়েছে? তুমি নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -এর সাথে কথা বলছ, কিন্তু তিনি তোমাকে জওয়াব দিচ্ছেন না? তখন আমরা অনুভব করলাম যে, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -এর উপর ওয়াহী নাযিল হচ্ছে।

বর্ণনাকারী বলেন, এরপর তিনি তাঁর ঘাম মুছলেন এবং বললেনঃ প্রশ্নকারী কোথায়? যেন তার প্রশ্নকে প্রশংসা করে বললেন, কল্যাণ কখনো অকল্যাণ বয়ে আনে না। অবশ্য বসন্ত মৌসুম যে ঘাস উৎপন্ন করে তা (সবটুকুই সুস্বাদু ও কল্যাণকর বটে তবে) অনেক সময় হয়ত (ভোজনকারী প্রাণীর) জীবন নাশ করে অথবা তাকে মৃত্যুর কাছাকাছি নিয়ে যায়। তবে ঐ তৃণভোজী জন্তু, যে পেট ভরে খাওয়ার পর সূর্যের তাপ গ্রহণ করে এবং মল ত্যাগ করে, প্রস্রাব করে এবং পুনরায় চলে (সেই মৃত্যু থেকে রক্ষা পায় তেমনি) এই সম্পদ হলো আকর্ষণীয় সুস্বাদু।

কাজেই সে-ই ভাগ্যবান মুসলিম, যে এই সম্পদ থেকে মিসকীন, ইয়াতীম ও মুসাফিরকে দান করে অথবা নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম যেরূপ বলেছেন, আর যে ব্যক্তি এই সম্পদ অন্যায়ভাবে উপার্জন করে, সে ঐ ব্যক্তির ন্যায়, যে খেতে থাকে এবং তার পেট ভরে না। ক্বিয়ামাত (কিয়ামত) দিবসে ঐ সম্পদ তার বিপক্ষে সাক্ষ্য দিবে।

ہم سے معاذ بن فضالہ نے بیان کیا ‘ کہا کہ مجھ سے ہشام دستوائی نے ‘ یحییٰ سے بیان کیا۔ ان سے ہلال بن ابی میمونہ نے بیان کیا ‘ کہا کہ ہم سے عطاء بن یسار نے بیان کیا ‘ اور انہوں نے ابو سعید خدری رضی اللہ عنہ سے سنا ‘ وہ کہتے تھے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ایک دن منبر پر تشریف فرما ہوئے۔

ہم بھی آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے اردگرد بیٹھ گئے۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ میں تمہارے متعلق اس بات سے ڈرتا ہوں کہ تم پر دنیا کی خوشحالی اور اس کی زیبائش و آرائش کے دروازے کھول دئیے جائیں گے۔ ایک شخص نے عرض کیا۔ یا رسول اللہ! کیا اچھائی برائی پیدا کرے گی؟

اس پر نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم خاموش ہو گئے۔ اس لیے اس شخص سے کہا جانے لگا کہ کیا بات تھی۔ تم نے نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے ایک بات پوچھی لیکن نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم تم سے بات نہیں کرتے۔ پھر ہم نے محسوس کیا کہ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم پر وحی نازل ہو رہی ہے۔

بیان کیا کہ پھر نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے پسینہ صاف کیا ( جو وحی نازل ہوتے وقت آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو آنے لگتا تھا ) پھر پوچھا کہ سوال کرنے والے صاحب کہاں ہیں۔ ہم نے محسوس کیا کہ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اس کے ( سوال کی ) تعریف کی۔ پھر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ اچھائی برائی نہیں پیدا کرتی ( مگر بے موقع استعمال سے برائی پیدا ہوتی ہے ) کیونکہ موسم بہار میں بعض ایسی گھاس بھی اگتی ہیں جو جان لیوا یا تکلیف دہ ثابت ہوتی ہیں۔

البتہ ہریالی چرنے والا وہ جانور بچ جاتا ہے کہ خوب چرتا ہے اور جب اس کی دونوں کوکھیں بھر جاتی ہیں تو سورج کی طرف رخ کر کے پاخانہ پیشاب کر دیتا ہے اور پھر چرتا ہے۔ اسی طرح یہ مال و دولت بھی ایک خوشگوار سبزہ زار ہے۔ اور مسلمان کا وہ مال کتنا عمدہ ہے جو مسکین ‘ یتیم اور مسافر کو دیا جائے۔

یا جس طرح نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ارشاد فرمایا۔ ہاں اگر کوئی شخص زکوٰۃ حقدار ہونے کے بغیر لیتا ہے تو اس کی مثال ایسے شخص کی سی ہے جو کھاتا ہے لیکن اس کا پیٹ نہیں بھرتا۔ اور قیامت کے دن یہ مال اس کے خلاف گواہ ہو گا۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Mu'adz bin Fadhalah] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hisyam] dari [Yahya] dari [Hilal bin Abu Maimunah] telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Atha' bin Yasar] bahwa dia mendengar [Abu Sa'id Al Khudriy radliallahu 'anhu] menceritakan bahwa Nabi Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam suatu hari duduk diatas mimbar dan kami pun duduk didekatnya lalu Beliau berkata,: "Sesungguhnya diantara yang aku khawatirkan terjadi pada kalian sepeninggalku adalah apabila telah dibuka untuk kalian (keindahan) dunia serta perhiasannya".

Tiba-tiba ada seorang laki-laki berkata,: "Wahai Rasulullah, apakah kebaikan dapat mendatangkan keburukan?". Maka Nabi Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam terdiam. Dikatakan kepada orang yang bertanya tadi; "Apa yang telah kamu lakukan, kamu mengajak Nabi Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam berbicara yang membuat Beliau tidak berbicara kepadamu".

Maka kami melihat bahwa wahyu sedang turun kepada Beliau. Abu Said berkata,: "Beliau mengusap keringatnya yang banyak lalu berkata,: "Mana orang yang bertanya tadi?".

Lalu nampak Beliau memuji Allah seraya bersabda: "Kebaikan tidak akan mendatangkan keburukan. Sesungguhnya apa yang ditumbuhkan pada musim semi dapat membinasakan atau dapat mendekatkan kepada kematian kecuali seperti (ternak) pemakan dedaunan hijau yang apabila sudah kenyang dia akan memandang matahari lalu mencret kemudian kencing lalu dia kembali merumput (makan lagi).

Dan sungguh harta itu seperti dedaunan hijau yang manis. Maka beruntunglah seorang muslim yang dengan hartanya dia memberi orang-orang miskin, anak yatim dan ibnu sabil (musafir yang kehabisan bekal) ". Atau seperti yang didabdakan oleh Nabi Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam: "Dan sesungguhnya barangsiapa yang mengambil harta dunia tanpa hak ia seperti orang yang memakan namun tidak pernah kenyang dan harta itu akan menjadi saksi yang menuntutnya pada hari qiyamat

Ebu Saîd el-Hudrî r.a. şöyle anlatır: Bir gün Resûlullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem minbere oturmuştu. Biz de etrafına oturduk. Sonra: "Benden sonra, sizin için endişe ettiğim şeylerden biri dünya güzelliklerinin sizin için açılmasıdır" buyurdu. Bir sahabî, "Ey Allah'ın Resulü! Hayırlı bir şey şer getirir mi?"

diye sordu. Bunun üzerine Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem bir süre sustu. Etraftaki sahabîler soru soran kimseye, "Neden Nebi ile konuşuyorsun? O seninle konuşmuyor ki" dedi. Bir de baktık ki Resûlullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'e vahiy iniyor. Sonra terini sildi ve soru soran kişiyi över bir tavırla, "Soruyu soran nerede? Gerçekte, hayır şer getirmez.

Muhakkak ki baharın yeşerttiği bitkilerden bazıları öldürücü veya zehirlidir. Fakat yeşil ot yiyen (hayvan) böyle değildir. Yeşil otu yer, kalçaları üzerine oturur, güneşlenir. Dışkısını ve idrarını rahatça yapar. Sonra yine bol bol yer. İşte mal da yeşil ot gibi tatlıdır. Malından, miskine, yetime ve yolda kalmışa veren kimseye ne mutlu!

(Ravî, ya da buna benzer şey söylediğini belirtir). Malları, haksız yolla elde eden, yiyip yiyip de doymayan kimse gibidir. Bunlar, kıyamet günü onun aleyhine şahitlik edecektir" buyurdu

What it means

One day the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) sat on the pulpit talking to his Companions and he said: What I fear most for you after me is what is disclosed to you of the blessings of the earth, splendor, adornment, and pleasures of this world and what it contains of the various types of possessions, clothes,

crops, and other things that people take pride in their beauty despite their being transient. A man said: The splendor of this worldly life is a blessing from Allah, so how could such a blessing turn into misfortune and punishment?! People blamed the questioner when they noticed how the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent, thinking that he had aroused his anger. However, it became clear that he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was receiving revelation, and he, then, started wiping the sweat off his forehead.

He said: Where is the questioner? He said: Here I am. He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) praised Allah and commended Him then said: True goodness brings nothing forth but goodness; however, this splendor is not purely good given the temptation and competition it leads to and how it distracts people from focusing duly on the Hereafter.

Then he gave an example saying: The plants and Khadir of the spring, which is a kind of plant the cattle like, could kill or almost kill because of excessive eating that leads to repletion. An exception to this is the eater of the Khadir that eats until both sides of its belly are filled, then it turns to face the sun and throws the dung out of its belly or urinates, then it brings up what is in its belly and chews then swallows it, and then it starts to graze again. This wealth is like a green and sweet plant that could kill or almost kill if it is too much unless a small amount, which is needed, is only used thereof to fulfill sufficiency through lawful channels, for in this case it causes no harm.

It could be a good companion to the Muslim if he gives the needy, the orphan, and the wayfarer from it. Whoever takes it rightfully, it will be blessed for him, but whoever takes it wrongfully will be like the one who eats and is never satiated, and it will be a witness against him on the Day of Judgment.

What it teaches

  • An-Nawawi said: It indicates the merit of wealth for whoever takes it rightfully and spends it on charitable causes.
  • The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed about the condition of his Ummah and how worldly adornment and temptations will be opened for them.
  • It was from the practice of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) to give examples to make meanings clear and easy to understand.
  • Encouraging the act of giving charity and spending money on charitable causes and warning against stinginess.
  • What is understood from his statement: "Verily, good does not bring forth evil," is that sustenance, even if abundant, is counted among goodness, and it could only be subject to evil if it is withheld from those who deserve it out of stinginess or if it is extravagantly spent on what is not prescribed. Moreover, everything that Allah has ordained to be good will never be evil and vice versa; however, it is feared that one who is granted goodness could be subject to what brings him evil given the way he disposes of it.
  • Abandoning haste in giving a response if it requires contemplation.
  • At-Tībi said: Four types could be derived from it: One that excessively eats from it, enjoys it, and is totally indulged until its ribs are swollen and it does not stop, which rapidly brings about its destruction. One that eats in the same manner but resorts to trickery to combat the disease after becoming intense, but it overcomes it and leads to its destruction. One that eats in the same manner but hastens to remove what harms it and tries to push it until it is digested and it is safe. One that does not eat excessively and is not engrossed in eating; rather, he eats only what satisfies his hunger and keeps him alive. The first is an example of the disbeliever, the second is an example of the sinner who is heedless of giving up sins and repenting until it is too late, the third is an example of the one who mixes righteous deeds with others and hastens to repentance that is accepted from him, and the fourth is an example of the one who abstains from worldly pleasures and seeks the Hereafter.
  • Ibn al-Munīr said: This Hadīth contains beautiful similes. First: comparing wealth and its growth to the emergence and growth of plants. Second: comparing the one engrossed in earning money and utilizing means to the animals engrossed in grazing. Third: comparing the endeavor to have more of it and saving it to gluttony and satiation. Fourth: comparing the wealth produce, despite its high status in people's eyes that has led to exaggeration in withholding it, to the animal's droppings, which is an exquisite reference to regarding it as filthy under the Shariah. Fifth: comparing the one who does not seek to collect it and possess it to the sheep when it rests and lies on its side while facing the sun, which is one of its best states in terms of serenity and tranquility, and it denotes its awareness of its interests. Sixth: comparing the death of the money collector who withholds it to the death of the animal that is heedless of avoiding what harms it. Seventh: comparing wealth to the companion that is liable to turn into an enemy, as when the money is possessed and tightly tied out of love for it, this entails withholding it from those who deserve it, and so it leads to punishing its possessor. Eighth: comparing taking money wrongfully to the one who eats without ever feeling satisfied.
  • As-Sindi said: According to the report, two things must be fulfilled. First: it has to be rightfully earned. Second: it has to be spent in its proper channels. When any of the two conditions is missed, it becomes harmful...it could also be said: It bears reference that the two conditions are concurrent; thus, one is not aided to spend in the proper channels unless he takes it rightfully.
