حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ الْجُعْفِيِّ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا ضَرَرَ وَلَا ضِرَارَ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.”

ইবনে আব্বাস (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ ক্ষতি করাও যাবে না, ক্ষতি সহাও যাবে না।

عبداللہ بن عباس رضی اللہ عنہما کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلیاللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: کسی کو نقصان پہنچانا جائز نہیں نہ ابتداء ً نہ مقابلۃ ً ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Yahya] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdurrazaq] berkata, telah memberitakan kepada kami [Ma'mar] dari [Jabir Al Ju'fi] dari [Ikrimah] dari [Ibnu Abbas] ia berkata, "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Tidak boleh berbuat madlarat dan hal yang menimbulkan madlarat

(Abdullah) bin Abbâs (r.a.)'den rivayet edildiğine göre; Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) şöyle buyurdu, demiştir: «Zarara sokmak ve zarara karşı intikam almak yoktur.» Not: Bunun senedinde bulunan Cabir bin el-Cafi'nin sikalığımn şüpheli olduğu, Zevaid'de bildirilmiştir

What it means

The Prophet (ﷺ) pointed out that we should avert harm from ourselves and from others in all its kinds and manifestations. It is equally impermissible for anyone to harm himself or others. It is also not permissible to respond to harm with harm, for harm will not be removed with harm except by way of legal retribution, without transgression.

What it teaches

  • It is prohibited to respond to harm with more than its equivalent.
  • Allah did not enjoin upon His servants anything harmful to them.
  • The Hadīth represents a rule on the prohibition of harm and reciprocal harm by words, deeds, or lack of action.
  • One of the Sha‘i rules is that "harm should be removed", for the Shariah disapproves of harming and condemns harming.
