حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

قَالَ اضْطَجَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى حَصِيرٍ فَأَثَّرَ فِي جِلْدِهِ فَقُلْتُ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ كُنْتَ آذَنْتَنَا فَفَرَشْنَا لَكَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئًا يَقِيكَ مِنْهُ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا أَنَا وَالدُّنْيَا إِنَّمَا أَنَا وَالدُّنْيَا كَرَاكِبٍ اسْتَظَلَّ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ ثُمَّ رَاحَ وَتَرَكَهَا»

“The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) lay down on a reed mat, and it left marks on his skin. I said: ‘May my father and mother be ransomed for you, O Messenger of Allah! If you had told us we would have provided you with something that would save you this trouble.’ The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: ‘What is there between myself and the world? This world and I are just like a rider who stops to rest beneath the shade of a tree then goes and leaves it.’”

আবদুল্লাহ (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম একটি খেজুর পাতার মাদুরে শুয়েছিলেন। তাঁর দেহের চামড়ায় (মাদুরের) দাগ বসে গেলো।

আমি বললাম, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! আমার পিতা-মাতা আপনার জন্য উৎসর্গিত হোক। আপনি আমাদেরকে অনুমতি দিলে আমরা আপনার জন্য মাদুরের উপর কিছু বিছিয়ে দিতাম। তাহলে তা আপনাকে দাগ লাগা থেকে বাঁচিয়ে রাখতো।

রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেনঃ দুনিয়ার সাথে আমার সম্পর্ক কী? আমি দুনিয়াতে এমন এক মুসাফির বৈ তো কিছু নই, যে একটি গাছের ছায়ায় আশ্রয় নিলো, অতঃপর তা ত্যাগ করে গন্তব্যের পানে চলে গেলো।

عبداللہ بن مسعود رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ایک چٹائی پر لیٹے تو آپ کے بدن مبارک پر اس کا نشان پڑ گیا، میں نے کہا: میرے ماں باپ آپ پر قربان، اللہ کے رسول! اگر آپ ہمیں حکم دیتے تو ہم آپ کے لیے اس پر کچھ بچھا دیتے، آپ اس تکلیف سے بچ جاتے، تو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: میں تو دنیا میں ایسے ہی ہوں جیسے کوئی مسافر درخت کے سائے میں آرام کرے، پھر اس کو چھوڑ کر وہاں سے چل دے ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yahya bin Hakim] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Daud] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Mas'udi] telah mengabarkan kepadaku ['Amru bin Murrah] dari [Ibrahim] dari ['Alqamah] dari [Abdullah] dia berkata, "Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pernah berbaring di atas tikar hingga membekas dikulitnya.

Lalu aku bertanya, "Demi ayah dan ibuku, wahai Rasulullah! Jika anda mengizinkan kami, maka kami akan menghamparkan sesuatu yang dapat menjagamu." Namun Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam menjawab: "Apa urusanku dengan dunia ini? Sesungguhnya diriku dan dunia ini bagaikan seseorang yang tengah berjalan kemudian berteduh di bawah pohon, lalu aku pergi meninggalkan (pohon tersebut)

Abdullah (bin Mes'ud) (r.a.)'den; Şöyle demiştir: Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) bir hasır üzerinde yattı. Hasır O'nun (mübarek) derisinde iz yaptı. Bunun üzerine ben: Babam anam sana feda olsun Yâ Resulaüah! Keşke bize haber vereydin de senin için hasır üstüne, seni on (un iz yapmasın) dan koruyacak bir şey sereydik, dedim.

Sonra Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem): Ben, dünya (ni'metleri) ile beraber değilim. Benim dünya ile beraberliğim ancak bir ağacın altında biraz gölgelenip (dinlenip), sonra giden ve ağacı bırakan (yolcu) bir binici (nin ağaçla beraberliği) gibidir, buyurdu. Diğer tahric: Tirmizi, Ahmed, Hakim

Sunan Ibn Majah 4109, Book 37, Zuhd, Hadith 10. 1 min read

What it means

‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) slept on a small mat woven of some plants. When he got up, the straw mat had left marks on the skin of his side.

We said: O Messenger of Allah, if we made for you a soft mattress, it would be better than lying on this rough straw mat. Thereupon, he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: I have no love or affection for this world to desire it. My example in this world is like a rider who sought shade under a tree, then departed and left it behind.

What it teaches

  • Highlighting the Prophet's asceticism in this worldly life and how he turned away from it.
  • The Hadīth does not indicate abandoning what is necessary in this world, but rather being distracted by this world from the Hereafter. The man sought shade under a tree and derived benefit from it for his journey, but he did not incline to it.
  • Deriving lessons from the Prophet's condition, as he is the best example to follow. Whoever follows his footsteps will be guided and will succeed in both this world and the Hereafter.
  • The Companions' great care about the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and their love for him.
  • The permissibility of using examples in Da‘wah (the call to Allah) and education.
