حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَسَّانُ بْنُ عَطِيَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «بَلِّغُوا عَنِّي وَلَوْ آيَةً، وَحَدِّثُوا عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَا حَرَجَ، وَمَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَىَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Convey (my teachings) to the people even if it were a single sentence, and tell others the stories of Bani Israel (which have been taught to you), for it is not sinful to do so. And whoever tells a lie on me intentionally, will surely take his place in the (Hell) Fire.”

‘আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু ‘আমর (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন, আমার কথা পৌঁছিয়ে দাও, তা যদি এক আয়াতও হয়। আর বনী ইসরাঈলের ঘটনাবলী বর্ণনা কর। এতে কোন দোষ নেই। কিন্তু যে কেউ ইচ্ছে করে আমার উপর মিথ্যারোপ করল, সে যেন জাহান্নামকেই তার ঠিকানা নির্দিষ্ট করে নিল।

ہم سے ابوعاصم ضحاک بن مخلد نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم کو اوزاعی نے خبر دی، کہا ہم سے حسان بن عطیہ نے بیان کیا، ان سے ابوکبشہ نے اور ان سے عبداللہ بن عمر رضی اللہ عنہما نے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”میرا پیغام لوگوں کو پہنچاؤ! اگرچہ ایک ہی آیت ہو اور بنی اسرائیل کے واقعات تم بیان کر سکتے ہو، ان میں کوئی حرج نہیں اور جس نے مجھ پر قصداً جھوٹ باندھا تو اسے اپنے جہنم کے ٹھکانے کے لیے تیار رہنا چاہئے۔“

Telah bercerita kepada kami [Abu 'Ashim adl-Dlahhak bin Makhlad] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Al Awza'iy] telah bercerita kepada kami [Hassan bin 'Athiyyah] dari [Abi Kabsyah] dari ['Abdullah bin 'Amru] bahwa Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Sampaikan dariku sekalipun satu ayat dan ceritakanlah (apa yang kalian dengar) dari Bani Isra'il dan itu tidak apa (dosa). Dan siapa yang berdusta atasku dengan sengaja maka bersiap-siaplah menempati tempat duduknya di neraka

Abdullah b. Amr'dan rivayete göre Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurdu: "Benden bir ayet dahi olsa tebliğ ediniz. İsrailoğullarından nakledebilirsiniz, bunda bir mahzur yoktur. Kasten aleyhime yalan söyleyen kimse de cehennemdeki yerine hazırlansın." Diğer tahric eden: Tirmizi İlim

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) commands us to convey knowledge from him, from the Qur’an or the Sunnah, even if it is something short, like a verse from the Qur’an or a Hadīth, provided that a person should have knowledge of what he conveys and invites people to it. Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) points out that there is no sin in narrating about the Children of Israel and the events that happened to them, in a way that does not run counter to our Shariah.

Then, he warns against telling lies about him and states that whoever intentionally lies about him should occupy his dwelling in Hellfire.

What it teaches

  • This hadith encourages us to convey the Shariah of Allah and indicates that a person should pass on what he learns and understands, even if it is something little.
  • It is obligatory to seek knowledge of the Shariah, so that we can worship Allah and convey His religion in a correct way.
  • We are obligated to ascertain the authenticity of any Hadīth before we convey and spread it, lest we fall under this stern warning.
  • We are urged to be truthful and cautious in our speech, lest we fall into telling lies, particularly when it comes to the Shariah of Allah Almighty.
