حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رضى الله عنها

قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ شَدَّ مِئْزَرَهُ، وَأَحْيَا لَيْلَهُ، وَأَيْقَظَ أَهْلَهُ

With the start of the last ten days of Ramadan, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to tighten his waist belt (i.e. work hard) and used to pray all the night, and used to keep his family awake for the prayers.

‘আয়িশাহ্ (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, যখন রমাযানের শেষ দশক আসত তখন নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম তাঁর লুঙ্গি কষে নিতেন (বেশি বেশি ইবাদতের প্রস্তুতি নিতেন) এবং রাত্র জেগে থাকতেন ও পরিবার-পরিজনকে জাগিয়ে দিতেন। (মুসলিম ১৪/৩, হাঃ ১১৭৪)

ہم سے علی بن عبداللہ مدینی نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ ہم سے سفیان بن عیینہ نے بیان کیا، ان سے ابویعفور نے بیان کیا، ان سے ابوالضحیٰ نے، ان سے مسروق نے اور ان سے عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہا نے بیان کیا کہ جب ( رمضان کا ) آخری عشرہ آتا تو نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اپنا تہبند مضبوط باندھتے ( یعنی اپنی کمر پوری طرح کس لیتے ) اور ان راتوں میں آپ خود بھی جاگتے اور اپنے گھر والوں کو بھی جگایا کرتے تھے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Ali bin 'Abdullah] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sufyan] dari [Abu Ya'fur] dari [Abu Adh-Dhuha] dari [Masruq] dari ['Aisyah radliallahu 'anha] berkata: "Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bila memasuki sepuluh akhir (dari bulan Ramadhan), Beliau mengencangkan sarung Beliau, menghidupkan malamnya dengan ber'ibadah dan membangunkan keluarga Beliau

Aişe r.anha şöyle demiştir: Ramazanın son on günü geldiğinde Hz. Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem kemerini sıkı bağlar (sıkı ibadette bulunur ve hanımları ile cinsel ilişkiyi terk eder), geceyi ihya eder ve hanımlarına (bu gecelerde ibadete daha çok yönelmeleri için) uyarıda bulunurdu

What it means

Upon the start of the last ten days of Ramadan, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would revive the whole night with various acts of obedience. He would wake up his family to pray. He would exert himself in worship more than he usually did, and he would devote himself entirely to worship and avoid having intimate relations with his wives.

What it teaches

  • Encouraging the act of taking advantage of honorable times by performing righteous deeds.
  • An-Nawawi said: As clear from this Hadīth: it is recommended to increase the acts of worship in the last ten days of Ramadan, and it is recommended to revive its nights with acts of worship.
  • One should be keen on his family's interest by ordering them to engage in worship and be patient with them.
  • Doing righteous deeds requires resolve, patience, and perseverance.
  • An-Nawawi said: Scholars held different opinions regarding the meaning of (tightened up the lower garment). It is said: it refers to increasing his efforts in acts of worship beyond his usual practice (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) at other times, i.e., showing diligence in acts of worship. The expression: "I tightened up my lower garment for this matter" means: I am entirely devoted to it, and I give it all my time. It is also said: it is a metaphor for abstaining from women to focus on acts of worship.
