حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ يَعْمَرَ، أَنَّ أَبَا الأَسْوَدِ الدِّيلِيَّ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رضى الله عنه

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لَا يَرْمِي رَجُلٌ رَجُلاً بِالْفُسُوقِ، وَلَا يَرْمِيهِ بِالْكُفْرِ، إِلاَّ ارْتَدَّتْ عَلَيْهِ، إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ صَاحِبُهُ كَذَلِكَ»

That he heard the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) saying, “If somebody accuses another of Fusuq (by calling him ‘Fasiq’ i.e. a wicked person) or accuses him of Kufr, such an accusation will revert to him (i.e. the accuser) if his companion (the accused) is innocent.”

আবূ যার (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ একজন অপর জনকে ফাসিক বলে যেন গালি না দেয় এবং একজন অন্যজনকে কাফির বলে অপবাদ না দেয়। কেননা, অপরজন যদি তা না হয়, তবে সে অপবাদ তার নিজের উপরই আপতিত হবে। [৩৫০৮; মুসলিম ১/২৭, হাঃ ৬১, আহমাদ ২১৫২১]

ہم سے ابومعمر عبداللہ بن عمرو نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے عبدالوارث نے بیان کیا، ان سے حسین بن ذکوان معلم نے بیان کیا، ان سے عبداللہ بن بریدہ نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا مجھ سے یحییٰ بن یعمر نے بیان کیا، ان سے ابوالاسود دیلی نے بیان کیا اور ان سے ابوذر غفاری رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہ انہوں نے نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے سنا، نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ اگر کوئی شخص کسی شخص کو کافر یا فاسق کہے اور وہ درحقیقت کافر یا فاسق نہ ہو تو خود کہنے والا فاسق اور کافر ہو جائے گا۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Ma'mar] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdul Warits] dari [Al Husain] dari [Abdullah bin Buraidah] telah menceritakan kepadaku [Yahya bin Ya'mar] bahwa [Abu Aswad Ad Diili] menceritakan kepadanya dari [Abu Dzar] radliallahu 'anhu bahwa dia mendengar Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Tidaklah seseorang melempar tuduhan kepada orang lain dengan kefasikan, dan tidak pula menuduh dengan kekufuran melainkan (tuduhan itu) akan kembali kepadanya, jika saudaranya tidak seperti itu

Ebu Zerr r.a.'dan rivayete göre o, Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'i şöyle buyururken dinlemiştir: "Bir adam bir başka adamı fasıklıkla itham ederse ve(ya) onu küfür ile itham ederse ve o kişi de böyle değil ise, mutlaka o itham ona geri döner

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) warned that whoever says to another person: You are a defiant sinner, or: You are a disbeliever, if this person is not as he said, then he will be worthy of this mentioned description, and his accusation will rebound on him. However, if this person is as he said, then nothing will rebound on him given that he said the truth.

What it teaches

  • It is prohibited to accuse people of disbelief or defiant disobedience without a Shariah-approved justification.
  • Verification is obligatory before making judgments about people.
  • Ibn Daqīq al-‘Īd said: This is a grave threat to whoever falsely accuses a Muslim of being a disbeliever, which is a great dilemma.
  • Ibn Hajar al-‘Asqalāni said: The fact that he does not consequently become a defiant sinner or a disbeliever does not entail that he is not deemed sinful when he said to him: You are a defiant sinner; rather, this situation needs to be tackled in detail. If he meant to advise him or others by clarifying his condition, then this is permissible. However, if he meant to insult, expose, and abuse him, then this is impermissible because he is commanded to conceal his faults and teach him and advise him in a friendly manner. So, whenever he can fulfill this in a lenient manner, then he is not allowed to do it violently because he could be a cause for tempting him and making him insist on such an act, given the fact that many people are too disdainful to accept the command, especially when the one who gives the command is inferior to the one commanded.
