حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَجْلَحُ الْكِنْدِيُّ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الأَصَمِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا حَلَفَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَا يَقُلْ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ وَشِئْتَ. وَلَكِنْ لِيَقُلْ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ شِئْتَ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: ‘When anyone of you swears an oath, let him not say: ‘What Allah wills and what you will.’ Rather let him say: ‘What Allah wills and then what you will.’’

ইবনু ‘আব্বাস (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ তোমাদের কেউ যেন শপথ করা কালে এভাবে না বলে, ‘‘আল্লাহ যা চান এবং তুমি যা ইচ্ছা করো’’। বরং সে যেন বলে, ‘‘আল্লাহ্ যা ইচ্ছা করেন, এরপর তুমি যা ইচ্ছা করছো’’।

عبداللہ بن عباس رضی اللہ عنہما کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: جب کوئی شخص قسم کھائے تو «ما شاء الله وشئت» جو اللہ چاہے اور آپ چاہیں نہ کہے، بلکہ یوں کہے: «ما شاء الله ثم شئت» جو اللہ چاہے پھر آپ چاہیں ۱؎۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hisyam bin Ammar] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Isa bin Yunus] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Ajlah Al Kindi] dari [Yazid bin Al Asham] dari [Ibnu Abbas] ia berkata, "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Jika salah seorang dari kalian bersumpah, maka jangan mengucapkan 'Jika Allah dan kamu menghendaki'. Akan tetapi ucapkanlah 'Jika Allah menghendaki kemudian kamu

(Abdullah) bin Abbs (r.a.)'den rivayet edildiğine göre, Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) şöyle buyurmuştur: «Biriniz yemin ettiği zaman Allah'ın dilediği ve senin dilediğin demesin. Lakin Allah'ın dilediği sonra senin dilediğin desin.» Zevaid de: Eclah bin Abdillah'ın sikalığında görüş birliği yoktur. Ahmed, Nesai, Ebu Davud, Ebu Hatim, İbn-i Sa'd onu zayıf, İbn-i Muin, Yakub bin Süfyan ve el-İcli onu sika saymışlarıdr.

Senedin kalanı sikadır. Not: Zevaid'de şöyle denilmiştir: Bunun senedinde bulunan ravi Eclah bin AbdiIlah'ın sikalığı ihtilaflıdır: İmam Ahmed, Ebu Hatim, Nesai, Ebu Davud ve İbn-i Sa'd onu zayıf görmüşler. İbn-i Main, Yakub bin Süfyan ve el-İcli de onu sika saymışlardır. Senedin kalan ravileri sika zatlardır

What it means

A man came to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and talked to him about a matter of his, then he said: "It is as Allah wills and you will." The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) disapproved of what he said and informed him that coupling the creature's will with the will of Allah using the conjunctive 'and' constitutes minor Shirk (polytheism) and it is impermissible for a Muslim to utter such words.

Then, he guided him to the correct wording: "What Allah alone wills," thus singling Allah out in His will and not coupling Him with anyone else's will using any of the conjunctions.

What it teaches

  • It is prohibited to say: "It is as Allah wills and you will" or any similar words containing the conjunctive 'and' between the will of Allah and the will of the slave, for this constitutes minor Shirk.
  • Forbidding evil is obligatory.
  • The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) guarded the sanctuary of Tawhīd (monotheism) and blocked the means leading to Shirk.
  • When forbidding evil, it is better to direct the advised person to a permissible alternative following the example of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).
  • To reconcile between the Prophet's words in this Hadīth: "It is what Allah alone wills", and his words in another Hadīth: "Say: What Allah wills, then, what you will", we say that the latter is permissible but the former is better.
  • It is permissible to say: "What Allah wills, then, what you will"; however, it is better to say: "What Allah alone wills".
