حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ الْعِجْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الطُّفَاوِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ،، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رضى الله عنها

أَنَّ قَوْمًا، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ قَوْمًا يَأْتُونَنَا بِاللَّحْمِ لَا نَدْرِي أَذَكَرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ أَمْ لَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «سَمُّوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ وَكُلُوهُ»

Some people said, “O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)! Meat is brought to us by some people and we are not sure whether the name of Allah has been mentioned on it or not (at the time of slaughtering the animals).” The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said (to them), “Mention the name of Allah and eat it.”

‘আয়িশাহ (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত যে, কিছু সংখ্যক লোক বলল, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! বহু লোক আমাদের কাছে গোশত নিয়ে আসে আমরা জানি না, তারা বিসমিল্লাহ পড়ে যবহ করেছিল কিনা? নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেন, তোমরা এর উপর আল্লাহর নাম লও এবং তা খাও (ওয়াসওয়াসার শিকার হয়ো না)। (৫৫০৭, ৭৩৯৮)

ہم سے احمد بن مقدام عجلی نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ ہم سے محمد بن عبدالرحمٰن طفاوی نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ ہم سے ہشام بن عروہ نے بیان کیا، ان سے ان کے والد (عروہ بن زبیر) نے اور ان سے عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہا نے کہ کچھ لوگوں نے عرض کیا یا رسول اللہ!

بہت سے لوگ ہمارے یہاں گوشت لاتے ہیں۔ ہمیں یہ معلوم نہیں کہ اللہ کا نام انہوں نے ذبح کے وقت لیا تھا یا نہیں؟ اس پر رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ تم بسم اللہ پڑھ کے اسے کھا لیا کرو۔

Telah menceritakan kepada saya [Ahmad bin Al Miqdam Al 'Ijliy] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin 'Abdurrahman Ath-Thofawiy] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hisyam bin 'Urwah] dari [bapaknya] dari ['Aisyah radliallahu 'anha]; Bahwa orang-orang berkata: "Wahai Rasululloh, ada suatu kaum yang mendatangi kami dengan daging yang kami tidak tahu apakah mereka menyebutkan nama Allah ketika menyembelihnya atau tidak". Maka Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Sebutlah nama Allah, lalu makanlah

Aişe r.anha şöyle dedi: Bir topluluk: "Ey Allah'ın Resulü! Bazıları bize et getiriyorlar. Biz, hayvanları keserken besmele çekip çekmediklerini bilmiyoruz. (Bu etleri yiyelim mi?)" diye sordular. Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurdu: "Bu etler üzerine besmele çekip yiyin." Tekrar:

What it means

In this Hadīth, ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) says that some people came to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him about meat that they had received from Muslims who were new converts and were not yet familiar with the rulings of Islam. It was not known whether or not they had mentioned the name of Allah when they slaughtered the animals.

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) told those people to mention the name of Allah before eating the meat. He said in another narration: "You mention the name of Allah and eat." It is thus evident that he wanted to say to them, in a reproaching tone: you should not care for what others do if the thing is apparently lawful.

Rather, you should care for what you yourselves do, so mention the name of Allah and then eat. Accordingly, if a Jew or a Christian offers meat of an animal that he has slaughtered to a Muslim, the Muslim should not ask if the animal was slaughtered in the Islamic manner. This question is irrelevant, for it goes too far. This does not mean that the slaughtered animals regarding which one is sure that the name of Allah was not mentioned over them are lawful.
