حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

قَالَ كَانَتْ عَامَّةُ وَصِيَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ وَهُوَ يُغَرْغِرُ بِنَفْسِهِ «الصَّلَاةَ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ»

“What the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) most enjoined when he was dying and breathing his last was: The prayer; and those whom your right hands possess.”

আনাস ইবনে মালেক (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর অন্তিম মুহূর্তে তাঁর শ্বাসকষ্ট শুরু হলে তার ওসিয়াত এই ছিল যে, ‘‘নামায পড়বে এবং তোমাদের দাস-দাসীর সাথে সদ্ব্যবহার করবে’’।

انس بن مالک رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی وفات کے قریب جب آپ کا سانس اٹک رہا تھا تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی عام وصیت یہ تھی: لوگو! نماز اور غلام و لونڈی کا خیال رکھنا ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ahmad bin Miqdam], telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Mu'tamir bin Sulaiman]; aku mendengar [Ayahku] menceritakan dari [Qatadah] dari [Anas bin Malik], ia berkata; "Wasiat umum Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam menjelang wafat, ketika sakaratul maut yaitu: "Jagalah shalat dan zakat serta perhatikanlah hamba sahaya kalian

Enes bin Mâlik (r.a.)'den; Şöyle demiştir: Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'in vefat edeceği son anlarında ruhu boğazına geldiğindeki tüm vasiyyeti: «Namaza (devam ediniz) ve sağ ellerinizin mâlik olduğu şeylere (yâni mallarınızın haklarına ve köleler ile cariyelerinizin haklarına riâyet ediniz)» emri idi. Not: Zevaid'de şöyle denilmiştir: Bunun senedi hasendir.

Çünkü Ahmed bin el-Mıkdam Ehl•i Zabtın (yani işittiği hadisleri iyice belleyenlerin) derecesine erişmemişti. Senedin kalan ravileri Buhari ile Müslim'in şartları üzerinedir

What it means

The Prophet's main advice to his Ummah while he was in the throes of death was: Adhere to the prayer, observe it, and do not neglect it. Likewise, fulfill the rights of those whom your right hands possess, including slaves and bondmaids, and treat them kindly. He kept repeating this until his throat gurgled with it, and his tongue could barely articulate it.

What it teaches

  • The significance of the prayer and the rights of those in one's possession, as the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) gave advice about them in his final advice.
  • Prayer is among the greatest rights of Allah upon His slaves, and fulfilling the rights of the people—especially the weak and those under one's care who are not from one's offspring—is among the greatest rights owed to the people.
