حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ

قَالَ: قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رضى الله عنه إِذَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلأَنْ أَخِرَّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَكْذِبَ عَلَيْهِ، وَإِذَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ فِيمَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ، فَإِنَّ الْحَرْبَ خَدْعَةٌ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «يَأْتِي فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ قَوْمٌ حُدَثَاءُ الأَسْنَانِ،

سُفَهَاءُ الأَحْلَامِ، يَقُولُونَ: مِنْ خَيْرِ قَوْلِ الْبَرِيَّةِ، يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الإِسْلَامِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ، لَا يُجَاوِزُ إِيمَانُهُمْ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ، فَأَيْنَمَا لَقِيتُمُوهُمْ فَاقْتُلُوهُمْ، فَإِنَّ قَتْلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ لِمَنْ قَتَلَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»

I relate the traditions of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) to you for I would rather fall from the sky than attribute something to him falsely. But when I tell you a thing which is between you and me, then no doubt, war is guile. I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) saying, “In the last days of this world there will appear some young foolish people who will use (in their claim) the best speech of all people (i.e. the Qur’an) and they will abandon Islam as an arrow going through the game.

Their belief will not go beyond their throats (i.e. they will have practically no belief), so wherever you meet them, kill them, for he who kills them shall get a reward on the Day of Resurrection.”

সুয়াইদ ইবনু গাফালা (রহ.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, ‘আলী (রাঃ) বলেছেন, আমি যখন তোমাদের নিকট আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর কোন হাদীস বর্ণনা করি, তখন আমার এমন অবস্থা হয় যে, তাঁর উপর মিথ্যারোপ করার চেয়ে আকাশ হতে পড়ে ধ্বংস হয়ে যাওয়া আমার নিকট বেশি পছন্দনীয় এবং আমরা নিজেরা যখন আলোচনা করি তখন কথা হল এই যে, যুদ্ধ ছল-চাতুরী মাত্র।

আমি নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-কে বলতে শুনেছি যে, শেষ যুগে একদল যুবকের আবির্ভাব ঘটবে যারা হবে স্বল্পবুদ্ধি সম্পন্ন। তারা মুখে খুব ভাল কথা বলবে। তারা ইসলাম হতে বেরিয়ে যাবে যেভাবে তীর ধনুক হতে বেরিয়ে যায়। তাদের ঈমান গলদেশ পেরিয়ে ভেতরে প্রবেশ করবে না। যেখানেই এদের সঙ্গে তোমাদের দেখা মিলবে, এদেরকে তোমরা হত্যা করে ফেলবে।

যারা তাদের হত্যা করবে তাদের এই হত্যার পুরস্কার আছে কিয়ামতের দিন। (৫০৫৭, ৬৯৩০, মুসলিম ১২/৪৮ হাঃ ১০৬৬, আহমাদ ৬১৬)

ہم سے محمد بن کثیر نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم کو سفیان نے خبر دی انہیں اعمش نے، انہیں خیثمہ نے، ان سے سوید بن غفلہ نے بیان کیا کہ علی رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہا، جب تم سے کوئی بات رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے حوالہ سے میں بیان کروں تو یہ سمجھو کہ میرے لیے آسمان سے گر جانا اس سے بہتر ہے کہ میں آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم پر کوئی جھوٹ باندھوں البتہ جب میں اپنی طرف سے کوئی بات تم سے کہوں تو لڑائی تو تدبیر اور فریب ہی کا نام ہے ( اس میں کوئی بات بنا کر کہوں تو ممکن ہے ) ۔

دیکھو میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے سنا، آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم فرماتے تھے کہ آخر زمانہ میں کچھ لوگ ایسے پیدا ہوں گے جو چھوٹے چھوٹے دانتوں والے، کم عقل اور بیوقوف ہوں گے۔ باتیں وہ کہیں گے جو دنیا کی بہترین بات ہو گی۔ لیکن اسلام سے اس طرح صاف نکل چکے ہوں گے جیسے تیر جانور کے پار نکل جاتا ہے۔

ان کا ایمان ان کے حلق سے نیچے نہیں اترے گا، تم انہیں جہاں بھی پاؤ قتل کر دو، کیونکہ ان کے قتل سے قاتل کو قیامت کے دن ثواب ملے گا۔

Ali r.a. dedi ki: "Size Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'den diye bir hadis nakledecek olursam şunu bilin ki, gökten düşmek benim için ona yalan söylemekten daha çok sevdiğim bir iştir. Benimle sizin aranızdaki bir hususa dair sizinle konuşacak olursam şunu bilin ki, harb bir hiledir. Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'i şöyle buyururken dinledim: Ahir zamanda yaşları küçük, akılları kıt bir takım kimseler gelecektir.

Bunlar yaratılmışların en hayırlıları gibi söz söyleyecekler, fakat okun hedefini delip gitmesi gibi dinden çıkacaklardır. İmanları gırtlaklarını aşmaz. Onlarla karşılaştığınız yerde onları öldürünüz. Çünkü onları öldürmek, Kıyamet gününde onları öldürenler için bir eçir (sebebi) olacaktır." Hadis ileride 5057 ve 6930 numara ile gelecektir.

Fethu'l-Bari Açıklaması: " ... dinden çıkarlar." Eğer dinden maksat İslam ise, Haricilerin kafir olduğunu söyleyenlerin lehine bir delil olur. Bununla birlikte din ile itaatin kastedilme ihtimali de vardır. O takdirde bu hususta delil olacak tarafı kalmaz. Hattabi de bu görüşe meyletmiştir

What it means

The Commander of the Believers, ‘Ali ibn Abi Tālib (may Allah be pleased with him), informed that if you heard me narrating from the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), I neither use figurative language, nor allusions, nor ambiguous statements; rather, I speak clearly. If I fall from the sky, it would be easier and lighter than to narrate from the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) while attributing lies to him.

However, if I spoke about matters between myself and the people, then war is deception, and I may use figurative language, allusions, or double-meaning statements. Indeed, I heard the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say: At the end of time, there will come youth, young in age and weak in intellect. They will quote words from the Qur’an and recite them frequently, but they will leave Islam and transgress its bounds just as an arrow passes through its target.

Their faith will not go beyond their throats. Wherever you encounter them, kill them, for killing them will bring a reward for those who kill them on the Day of Judgment.

What it teaches

  • Highlighting part of the traits of the Khawārij.
  • The Hadīth contains a sign of the Prophet's prophethood, as he foretold events that would occur in his Ummah after him, and they happened just as he had informed.
  • The permissibility of using indirect speech and allusions in war. Deception in war is through misleading statements, ambushes, or the like, provided they do not involve breaking treaties or violating guarantees of safety, as there is an explicit prohibition against such actions.
  • An-Nawawi said regarding the phrase (they will speak about the best words of creation), i.e., apparently such as they say: There is no judgment except for Allah, and similar expressions where they call people to the Book of Allah Almighty.
  • Ibn Hajar said regarding the phrase (their faith will not go beyond their throats): The intended meaning is that faith has not taken root in their hearts, for whatever stops at the throat and does not go beyond it cannot reach the heart.
  • Al-Qādi said: Scholars have unanimously agreed that when the Khārijites, and those similar to them from among the heretic innovators and oppressors, rebel against the ruler, oppose the consensus of the community, and cause division, it becomes obligatory to fight them after warning them and providing them with irrefutable proof.
