حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «سَتَكُونُ أَثَرَةٌ وَأُمُورٌ تُنْكِرُونَهَا». قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا قَالَ: «تُؤَدُّونَ الْحَقَّ الَّذِي عَلَيْكُمْ، وَتَسْأَلُونَ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَكُمْ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Soon others will be preferred to you, and there will be things which you will not like.” The companions of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) asked, “O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)! What do you order us to do (in this case)? ‘ He said, ‘(I order you) to give the rights that are on you and to ask your rights from Allah.’’”

ইবনু মাস‘ঊদ (রাঃ) সূত্রে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, শীঘ্রই স্বজনপ্রীতির বিস্তৃতি ঘটবে এবং এমন ব্যাপার ঘটবে যা তোমরা পছন্দ করতে পারবে না। সহাবাগণ বললেন, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! ঐ অবস্থায় আমাদের কী করতে বলেন? নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেন, তোমাদের উপর অর্পিত দায়িত্ব পালন করবে আর তোমাদের প্রাপ্য আল্লাহর কাছে চাইবে। (৭০৫২, মুসলিম ৩৩/৯ হাঃ ১৮৪৩)

ہم سے محمد بن کثیر نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم کو سفیان نے خبر دی، انہیں اعمش نے، انہیں زید بن وہب نے اور انہیں عبداللہ بن مسعود رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”میرے بعد تم پر ایک ایسا زمانہ آئے گا جس میں تم پر دوسروں کو مقدم کیا جائے گا اور ایسی باتیں سامنے آئیں گی جن کو تم برا سمجھو گے۔“ لوگوں نے عرض کیا: یا رسول اللہ!

اس وقت ہمیں آپ کیا حکم فرماتے ہیں؟ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ جو حقوق تم پر دوسروں کے واجب ہوں انہیں ادا کرتے رہنا اور اپنے حقوق اللہ ہی سے مانگنا۔ ( یعنی صبر کرنا اور اپنا حق لینے کے لیے خلیفہ اور حاکم وقت سے بغاوت نہ کرنا ) ۔

İbn Mes'ud r.a.'dan rivayete göre Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurdu: "İleride (size) başkalarının tercih edileceğini ve sizin uygun görmeyeceğiiz bir çok işler olduğunu göreceksiniz. Ey Allah'ın Resulü, bize ne emredersin, diye sordular. Şöyle buyurdu: Siz üzerinizdeki hakkı eksiksiz yerine getirirsiniz, hakkınızı da Allah'tan istersiniz." Hadis 7052 numara ile gelecektir

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that there will be rulers assigned to be in charge of Muslims and they will monopolize the Muslims' wealth and spend it as they wish, depriving the Muslims of their rights thereof. These rulers will also do things, related to the religion, that are disapproved by the Shariah.

The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked about what they should do in such a case. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) told them not to let these rulers' monopoly of wealth prevent them from fulfilling their duty towards them, including listening and obeying. Rather, they should have patience, listen and obey them without disputing their authority.

Moreover, they should ask Allah for their rights and ask Him to guide these rulers and ward off their evil and oppression.

What it teaches

  • This Hadīth is one of the proofs of Muhammad's prophethood, as he foretold what would happen in his Ummah and it happened just as he said.
  • It is permissible to inform a person of an affliction that will likely befall him so as to be prepared, show patience, and seek Allah's reward when it actually occurs.
  • Holding onto the Qur’an and Sunnah ensures safety from trials and dissension.
  • The Hadīth urges Muslims to listen and obey their rulers in what is good and not to rebel against them even if they commit oppression.
  • Adopting wisdom and following the Sunnah during the times of trials.
  • One must fulfill his duties even if he is wronged in one way or another.
  • The Hadīth proves the rule that states: We should opt for the lesser of the two evils or the lesser of the two harms.
