حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَامٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَخْلَدٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ

قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَتَابَعَهُ أَبُو عَاصِمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ الْعَبْدَ نَادَى جِبْرِيلَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ فُلَانًا فَأَحْبِبْهُ.

فَيُحِبُّهُ جِبْرِيلُ، فَيُنَادِي جِبْرِيلُ فِي أَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ فُلَانًا فَأَحِبُّوهُ. فَيُحِبُّهُ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ، ثُمَّ يُوضَعُ لَهُ الْقَبُولُ فِي الأَرْضِ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “If Allah loves a person, He calls Gabriel saying, ‘Allah loves so and-so; O Gabriel! Love him.’ Gabriel would love him and make an announcement amongst the inhabitants of the Heaven. ‘Allah loves so-and-so, therefore you should love him also,’ and so all the inhabitants of the Heaven would love him, and then he is granted the pleasure of the people on the earth.”

আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেন, আল্লাহ যখন কোন বান্দাকে ভালবাসেন তখন তিনি জিব্রাঈল (আঃ)-কে ডেকে বলেন, নিশ্চয়ই আল্লাহ অমুক বান্দাহকে ভালবাসেন, কাজেই তুমিও তাকে ভালবাস। তখন জিব্রাঈল (আঃ)-ও তাকে ভালবাসেন এবং জিব্রাঈল (আঃ) আকাশের অধিবাসীদের মধ্যে ঘোষণা করে দেন যে, আল্লাহ অমুক বান্দাহকে ভালবাসেন।

কাজেই তোমরা তাকে ভালবাস। তখন আকাশের অধিবাসী তাকে ভালবাসতে থাকে। অতঃপর পৃথিবীতেও তাকে সম্মানিত করার ব্যবস্থা করে দেয়া হয়। (৬০৪০, ৭৪৮৫) (মুসলিম ৪৫/৪৮ হাঃ ২৬৩৭, আহমাদ ৯৩৬৩)

ہم سے محمد بن سلام نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم کو مخلد نے خبر دی، انہیں ابن جریج نے خبر دی، کہا کہ مجھے موسیٰ بن عقبہ نے خبر دی، انہیں نافع نے، انہوں نے بیان کیا کہ ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہا نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا۔ اور اس روایت کی متابعت ابوعاصم نے ابن جریج سے کی ہے کہ مجھے موسیٰ بن عقبہ نے خبر دی انہیں نافع نے اور ان سے ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے بیان کیا کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ جب اللہ تعالیٰ کسی بندے سے محبت کرتا ہے تو جبرائیل علیہ السلام سے فرماتا ہے کہ اللہ تعالیٰ فلاں شخص سے محبت کرتا ہے۔

تم بھی اس سے محبت رکھو، چنانچہ جبرائیل علیہ السلام بھی اس سے محبت رکھنے لگتے ہیں۔ پھر جبرائیل علیہ السلام تمام اہل آسمان کو پکار دیتے ہیں کہ اللہ تعالیٰ فلاں شخص سے محبت رکھتا ہے۔ اس لیے تم سب لوگ اس سے محبت رکھو، چنانچہ تمام آسمان والے اس سے محبت رکھنے لگتے ہیں۔ اس کے بعد روئے زمین والے بھی اس کو مقبول سمجھتے ہیں۔

Telah bercerita kepada kami [Muhammad bin Salam] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Makhlad] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Ibnu Juraij] berkata telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Musa bin 'Uqbah] dari [Nafi'] berkata, [Abu Hurairah radliallahu 'anhu] berkata dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam. Dan hadits ini dikuatkan periwayatannya oleh [Abu 'Ashim] dari [Ibnu Juraij] berkata telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Musa bin 'Uqbah] dari [Nafi'] dari [Abu Hurairah radliallahu 'anhu] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Apabila Allah mencintai seorang hamba-Nya, Dia memanggil Jibril: "Sesungguhnya Allah mencintai si anu maka cintailah dia".

Maka jibril mencintai hamba itu lalu Jibril berseru kepada penduduk langit;; "Sesungguhnya Allah mencintai si anu, maka cintailah dia". Maka seluruh penduduk langit mencintai hamba itu, kemudian orang itu pun dijadikan bisa diterima oleh penduduk bumi

Ebu Hureyre r.a.'den nakledildiğine göre Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurmuştur: "Allah bir kulunu sevdiği zaman Cebrail'e şöyle seslenir: 'Allah, falan kişiyi seviyor sen de sev!' Bunun üzerine Cebrail. o kul'u sever ve gök ehline: 'Allah, falan kişiyi seviyor siz de sevin!' diye nida eder. Gökte bulunanlar da o kul'u severler ve daha sonra yeryüzünde bu kul'a karşı sevgi duyulur ve bu kişi itibar sahibi olur.

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that when Allah loves His believing slave who obeys His commands and avoids His prohibitions, He calls Gabriel: Allah Almighty loves so-and-so, so love him. Then Gabriel, the master of the angels (peace be upon him), loves him and he calls the angels in heaven: Indeed, your Lord loves so-and-so, so love him.

So the inhabitants of heaven love him, and acceptance is established for him in the believers' hearts that feel love, inclination, and contentment toward him. When Allah hates a slave, He calls Gabriel: I hate so-and-so, so hate him, and Gabriel; thus, hates him. Then Gabriel calls the inhabitants of heaven: Indeed, your Lord hates so-and-so, so hate him and they hate him. Then hatred and abhorrence are established for him in the believers' hearts.

What it teaches

  • Abu Muhammad ibn Abi Jamrah said: Giving that command to Gabriel before other angels demonstrates his high rank and esteemed status with Allah Almighty above the rest of the angels.
  • Whomever Allah loves is loved by the inhabitants of heaven and earth, and whomever Allah hates is hated by the inhabitants of heaven and earth.
  • As-Sindi said: His statement (then, acceptance is established for him on earth) does not necessarily imply general or universal acceptance, but rather it is in accordance with the amount of acceptance Allah wills for him on earth, especially considering that the enmity of the wicked toward the righteous is well known.
  • Encouragement to fulfill all types of righteous deeds—both obligatory and supererogatory—and a warning against sins and innovations, as they are likely causes of Allah's displeasure.
  • Ibn Hajar said: From this, it is understood that the love of people's hearts is a sign of Allah's love, and this is supported by what is mentioned regarding funerals: "You are Allah's witnesses on earth."
  • Ibn al-‘Arabi al-Māliki said: What is meant by "the inhabitants of earth" are only those who know him, not those who do not know him and have never heard of him.
