حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ، عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ الْمَدَنِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْغَيْثِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه عَنِ

النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «اجْتَنِبُوا السَّبْعَ الْمُوبِقَاتِ». قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَمَا هُنَّ قَالَ: «الشِّرْكُ بِاللَّهِ، وَالسِّحْرُ، وَقَتْلُ النَّفْسِ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلاَّ بِالْحَقِّ، وَأَكْلُ الرِّبَا، وَأَكْلُ مَالِ الْيَتِيمِ، وَالتَّوَلِّي يَوْمَ الزَّحْفِ، وَقَذْفُ الْمُحْصَنَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ الْغَافِلَاتِ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Avoid the seven great destructive sins.” The people enquired, “O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)! What are they?”

He said, “To join others in worship along with Allah, to practice sorcery, to kill the life which Allah has forbidden except for a just cause, (according to Islamic law), to eat up Riba (usury), to eat up an orphan’s wealth, to give back to the enemy and fleeing from the battlefield at the time of fighting, and to accuse, chaste women, who never even think of anything touching chastity and are good believers.”

আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাঃ) সূত্রে নবী (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম) হতে বর্ণিত তিনি বলেন, সাতটি ধ্বংসকারী বিষয় থেকে তোমরা বিরত থাকবে। সাহাবীগণ বললেন, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! সেগুলো কী?

তিনি বললেন, (১) আল্লাহর সঙ্গে শরীক করা (২) যাদু (৩) আল্লাহ্ তা‘আলা যাকে হত্যা করা হারাম করেছেন, শরীয়ত সম্মত কারণ ব্যতিরেকে তাকে হত্যা করা (৪) সুদ খাওয়া (৫) ইয়াতীমের মাল গ্রাস করা (৬) রণক্ষেত্র থেকে পালিয়ে যাওয়া এবং (৭) সরল স্বভাবা সতী-সাধ্বী মু’মিনাদের অপবাদ দেয়া। (৫৭৬৪, ৬৮৫৭) (মুসলিম ১/৩৮ হাঃ ৮৯, )

ہم سے عبدالعزیز بن عبداللہ نے بیان کیا ‘ انہوں نے کہا کہ مجھ سے سلیمان بن بلال نے بیان کیا ‘ ان سے ثور بن زید مدنی نے بیان کیا ‘ ان سے ابوغیث نے بیان کیا اور ان سے ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے بیان کیا کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”سات گناہوں سے جو تباہ کر دینے والے ہیں بچتے رہو۔“ صحابہ رضی اللہ عنہم نے پوچھا یا رسول اللہ!

وہ کون سے گناہ ہیں؟ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”اللہ کے ساتھ کسی کو شریک ٹھہرانا ‘ جادو کرنا ‘ کسی کی ناحق جان لینا کہ جسے اللہ تعالیٰ نے حرام قرار دیا ہے ‘ سود کھانا ‘ یتیم کا مال کھانا ‘ لڑائی میں سے بھاگ جانا ‘ پاک دامن بھولی بھالی ایمان والی عورتوں پر تہمت لگانا۔“

Telah bercerita kepada kami ['Abdul 'Aziz bin 'Abdullah] berkata telah bercerita kepadaku [Sulaiman bin Bilal] dari [Tsaur bin Zaid Al Madaniy] dari [Abu 'Al Ghoits] dari [Abu Hurairah radliallahu 'anhu] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Jauhilah tujuh perkara yang membinasakan".

Para sahabat bertanya: "Wahai Rasulullah, apakah itu? Beliau bersabda: "Syirik kepada Allah, sihir, membunuh jiwa yang diharamkan oleh Allah kecuali dengan haq, memakan riba, makan harta anak yatim, kabur dari medan peperangan dan menuduh seorang wanita mu'min yang suci berbuat zina

Ebu Hureyre r.a.'den nakledilmiştir: Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem: "Helak'a götüren yedi şeyden sakının" buyurdu. "Ey Allah'ın Resulü! Nedir onlar" dediler. Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem: "Allah'a ortak koşmak, büyü yapmak, Allah'ın saygın kıldığı canı haksız yere öldürmek, faiz yemek, yetim malı yemek, savaştan kaçmak, iman etmiş zina'dan habersiz kadınlara zina iftirası atmak" buyurdu

What it means

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) commands his Ummah to shun seven ruinous crimes and sins. When asked about them, he outlined them as the following: First: associating partners with Allah by taking anyone or anything as a peer and equal to Him and by devoting any act of worship to other than Allah Almighty.

He began with polytheism because it is the gravest sin. Second: magic, which includes knots, incantations, treatments, and making smoke, affects the bewitched person's body, causing him to die or fall ill, or it causes separation between husband and wife. It is the work of the devil and mostly cannot be performed except through polytheism and pleasing the evil spirits by doing any of the things they like. Third: killing a person whose killing Allah has prohibited except by a legal cause implemented by the ruler. Fourth: consuming usury by taking it or any other form of benefit. Fifth: encroaching upon the property of a child whose father died before he reaches puberty. Sixth: fleeing the battle with the disbelievers. Seventh: accusing chaste and noble women of adultery, as well as accusing men.

What it teaches

  • Major sins are not limited to seven, but these seven are singled out due to their graveness and danger.
  • It is permissible to kill a person in legal retribution, for apostasy, or for committing adultery after getting married, with this being carried out by the legitimate ruler.
