حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ، عَنْ أَبِي رَجَاءٍ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «اطَّلَعْتُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَرَأَيْتُ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِهَا الْفُقَرَاءَ، وَاطَّلَعْتُ فِي النَّارِ، فَرَأَيْتُ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِهَا النِّسَاءَ». تَابَعَهُ أَيُّوبُ وَسَلْمُ بْنُ زَرِيرٍ

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “I looked at Paradise and saw that the majority of its residents were the poor; and I looked at the (Hell) Fire and saw that the majority of its residents were women.”

‘ইমরান (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন, আমি জান্নাতের দিকে দৃষ্টি নিক্ষেপ করলাম। দেখলাম, অধিকাংশ বাসিন্দাই হচ্ছে গরীব এবং জাহান্নামের দিকে তাকিয়ে দেখি তার অধিকাংশ অধিবাসী হচ্ছে নারী। আইউব এবং সাল্ম বিন যরীর উক্ত হাদীসের সমর্থন ব্যক্ত করেন। [৩২৪১]

ہم سے عثمان بن ہشیم نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے عوف نے بیان کیا، ان سے ابوحازم نے، ان سے عمران نے اور ان سے نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ میں نے جنت میں جھانک کر دیکھا تو اس کے اکثر رہنے والے غریب لوگ تھے اور میں نے دوزخ میں جھانک کر دیکھا تو اس کے اندر رہنے والی اکثر عورتیں تھیں۔ اس روایت کی متابعت ابوایوب اور سلم بن زریر نے کی ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Utsman bin Al Haitsam] Telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Auf] dari [Abu Raja`] dari [Imran] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, beliau bersabda: "Aku memperhatikan isi surga, lalu aku mendapatkan bahwa kebanyakan penghuninya adalah orang-orang miskin. Kemudian aku melihat ke dalam neraka, maka aku pun melihat kebanyakan penghuninya adalah para wanita." Hadis ini diperkuat oleh [Ayyub] dan [Salm bin Zarir]

İmran'dan rivayete göre Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurdu: "Cennete muttali oldum, cennetliklerin çoğunluğunun fakir kimseler olduğunu gördüm. Cehennem ateşine de muttali oldum, cehennemliklerin çoğunluğunun kadınlar olduğunu gördüm." Fethu'l-Bari Açıklaması: "Koca demek olan ve muaşerette birlikte olunan anlamına gelen "el-aşir"e karşı küfran (nankörlük)" Yani el-aşır lafzı iki anlamda kullanılır.

Buradaki anlamı ise kocadır. Yüce Allah'ın: "O ne kötü bir aşırdir (arkadaştır)."(Hac, 13) buyruğunda ise birlikte olunan anlamındadır. Hadisteki: "Onlardan birisine ömür boyunca ihsanda bulunacak olsan" buyruğunda ise, azaba uğratılmalarının sebebine işaret edilmektedir. Çünkü kadın bu tutumu ile nimete karşı küfranı (nankörlüğü) üzere ısrar etmiş gibi oluyor.

Masiyet üzere ısrar etmek ise azabın sebeplerindendir. Bu hususa el-Mühelleb işaret etmiş bulunmaktadır

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) relates that he had a look into Paradise and found that the majority of its people are the poor, because they do not have the means to commit transgression, so they are submissive and humble. One thoughtful and deep look into the verses of the Qur'an would reveal that those who deny the messengers are the prestigious and wealthy people, as opposed to the weak who follow the messengers, and hence they constituted the majority of the people of Paradise.

The Hadīth by no means implies that each single poor individual is better than each single wealthy person. It rather denotes that the poor, in general, are more in Paradise than the wealthy. It is not poverty that caused them to enter Paradise, despite the fact that it made their reckoning easier. Instead, it was their righteousness along with poverty.

The poor is not at all better than the wealthy if he is not righteous in the first place. Furthermore, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) relates that he also saw Hellfire and found that the majority of its inhabitants are women, because they have some bad habits that dominate their demeanor like being ungrateful to their husbands besides the fact that they curse a lot. Therefore, it is imperative that they preserve their religion to be saved from Hellfire.
