حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ قَيْسٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ

أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا، قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّ شَرَائِعَ الإِسْلَامِ قَدْ كَثُرَتْ عَلَىَّ فَأَنْبِئْنِي مِنْهَا بِشَىْءٍ أَتَشَبَّثُ بِهِ. قَالَ: «لَا يَزَالُ لِسَانُكَ رَطْبًا مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ»

A Bedouin said to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “The laws of Islam are burdensome for me. Tell me of something that I will be able to adhere to. He said: ‘Always keep your tongue moist with the remembrance of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime.’”

আবদুল্লাহ ইবনে বুসর (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। এক বেদুঈন রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম কে বললো, ইসলামের বিধিবিধান আমার জন্য অনেক বেশি হয়ে গেছে। আমাকে তার মধ্য থেকে এমন কিছু বলে দিন, যা আমি আঁকড়ে থাকবো। তিনি বলেনঃ মহান আল্লাহর যিকিরে তোমার জিহবা যেন সর্বদা সজীব থাকে।

عبداللہ بن بسر رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ ایک اعرابی نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے عرض کیا کہ اسلام کے اصول و قواعد مجھ پر بہت ہو گئے ہیں ۱؎، لہٰذا آپ مجھے کوئی ایسی چیز بتا دیجئیے جس پر میں مضبوطی سے جم جاؤں، آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: تمہاری زبان ہمیشہ ذکر الٰہی سے تر رہنی چاہیئے ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Bakar] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Zaid bin Al Hubab] telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Mu'awiyah bin Shalih] telah mengabarkan kepadaku ['Amru bin Qais Al Kindi] dari ['Abdullah bin Busr] bahwa seorang badui bertanya kepada Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, katanya; "Sesungguhnya ajaran-jaran Islam telah benyak di ketahui, maka beritahukanlah kepadaku sesuatu darinya yang dapat saya ucapkan berulang-ulang."

Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam menjawab: "Selama lidahmu terus bergerak dengan berdzikir kepada Allah Azza Wa Jalla

Abdullah bin Büsr (r.a.)'dan; Şöyle demiştir: (Bir gün) bir bedevi, Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'e : İslâm şeriatleri (yâni nafile ibâdetler) cidden bana çok geldi (yâni zayıflığım nedeniyle hepsini yapamam). Onun için bana onlardan sarılıp yapışacağım bir şeyi bildir (tavsiye buyur), dedi. Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) (de ona): «Senin dilin devamlı surette Allah (Azze ve Celle)'nin zikri ile meşgul olsun,» buyurdu

Sunan Ibn Majah 3793, Book 33, Etiquette, Hadith 137. 1 min read

What it means

A man complained to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) that the supererogatory acts of worship had become too much for him and that he could not perform them given his weakness.

He, then, asked the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) to guide him to an easy deed that would bring abundant rewards so he could adhere and hold on to it. He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) advised him to keep his tongue moist and moving by remembering Allah Almighty recurrently at all times and in all states by glorifying and praising Him, seeking forgiveness from Him, supplicating Him, etc.

What it teaches

  • The merit of remembering Allah Almighty constantly.
  • Facilitating the means of attaining reward is part of Allah's great favor.
  • People vary in terms of their share of righteousness and goodness.
  • Remembering Allah frequently by the tongue, through Tasbīh (glorification of Allah), Tahmīd (praising Allah), Tahlīl (declaring the oneness of Allah), and Takbīr (proclaiming the greatness of Allah), besides other forms of Dhikr, along with the agreement of the heart, can replace many of the supererogatory acts of worship.
  • The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was so considerate in dealing with the questioners, as he would answer each in the way that was suitable for him.
