حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ بَشِيرِ بْنِ ذَكْوَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، (يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَبْرٍ) حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي الْمُطَاعِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْعِرْبَاضَ بْنَ سَارِيَةَ

يَقُولُ قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَوَعَظَنَا مَوْعِظَةً بَلِيغَةً وَجِلَتْ مِنْهَا الْقُلُوبُ وَذَرَفَتْ مِنْهَا الْعُيُونُ فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَعَظْتَنَا مَوْعِظَةَ مُوَدِّعٍ فَاعْهَدْ إِلَيْنَا بِعَهْدٍ فَقَالَ: «عَلَيْكُمْ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَالسَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ وَإِنْ عَبْدًا حَبَشِيًّا وَسَتَرَوْنَ مِنْ بَعْدِي اخْتِلَافًا شَدِيدًا فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِسُنَّتِي وَسُنَّةِ الْخُلَفَاءِ الرَّاشِدِينَ الْمَهْدِيِّينَ عَضُّوا عَلَيْهَا بِالنَّوَاجِذِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالأُمُورَ الْمُحْدَثَاتِ فَإِنَّ كُلَّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلَالَةٌ»

Yahya ibn Abu Muta said: I heard Irbad ibn Sariyah say: ‘One day, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) stood up among us and delivered a deeply moving speech to us that melted our hearts and caused our eyes to overflow with tears.

It was said to him: ‘O Messenger of Allah, you have delivered a speech of farewell, so enjoin something upon us.’ He said: ‘I urge you to fear Allah, and to listen and obey, even if (your leader) is an Abyssinian slave. After I am gone, you will see great conflict. I urge you to adhere to my Sunnah and the path of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs, and cling stubbornly to it. And beware of newly-invented matters, for every innovation is a going astray.’’

ইরবায ইবনু সারিয়াহ (রাঃ) বলেন, একদিন রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম আমাদের মাঝে দাঁড়িয়ে অত্যন্ত মর্মস্পর্শী ভাষায় আমাদের নাসীহাত করেন, যাতে অন্তরসমূহ ভীত হল এবং চোখগুলো অশ্রু বর্ষণ করলো। তাঁকে বলা হল, হে আল্লাহ্‌র রাসূল! আপনি তো বিদায় গ্রহণকারীর উপদেশ দিলেন। অতএব আমাদের নিকট থেকে একটি প্রতিশ্রুতি গ্রহণ করুন (একটি সুনির্দিষ্ট আদেশ দিন)।

তিনি বলেনঃ তোমরা আল্লাহ্ভীতি অবলম্বন করো, শ্রবণ করো ও আনুগত্য করো (নেতৃ-আদেশ), যদিও সে কাফরী গোলাম হয়। আমার পরে অচিরেই তোমরা মারাত্নক মতভেদ লক্ষ্য করবে। তখন তোমরা আমার সুন্নাত ও হিদায়াতপ্রাপ্ত খুলাফায়ে রাশিদ্বীনের সুন্নাত অবশ্যই অবলম্বন করবে, তা দাঁত দিয়ে শক্তভাবে কামড়ে ধরবে। অবশ্যই তোমরা বিদআত কাজ পরিহার করবে। কারণ প্রতিটি বিদআতই ভ্রষ্টতা।

عرباض بن ساریہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ ایک روز رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ہمارے درمیان کھڑے ہوئے، آپ نے ہمیں ایک مؤثر نصیحت فرمائی، جس سے دل لرز گئے اور آنکھیں ڈبڈبا گئیں، آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے عرض کیا گیا: اللہ کے رسول! آپ نے تو رخصت ہونے والے شخص جیسی نصیحت کی ہے، لہٰذا آپ ہمیں کچھ وصیت فرما دیں، آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: تم اللہ سے ڈرو، اور امیر ( سربراہ ) کی بات سنو اور اس کی اطاعت کرو، گرچہ تمہارا امیر ایک حبشی غلام ہی کیوں نہ ہو، عنقریب تم لوگ میرے بعد سخت اختلاف دیکھو گے، تو تم میری اور میرے ہدایت یافتہ خلفاء راشدین کی سنت کو لازم پکڑنا، اس کو اپنے دانتوں سے مضبوطی سے تھامے رہنا، اور دین میں نئی باتوں ( بدعتوں ) سے اپنے آپ کو بچانا، اس لیے کہ ہر بدعت گمراہی ہے ۱؎۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Ahmad bin Basyir bin Dzakwan Ad Dimasyqi] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Walid bin Muslim] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Al 'Ala`] berkata, telah menceritakan kepadaku [Yahya bin Abi Al Mutha'] ia berkata; aku mendengar ['Irbadl bin Sariyah] berkata; "Pada suatu hari Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam berdiri di tengah-tengah kami.

Beliau memberi nasihat yang sangat menyentuh, membuat hati menjadi gemetar, dan airmata berlinangan. Lalu dikatakan; "Wahai Rasulullah, engkau telah memberikan nasihat kepada kami satu nasihat perpisahan, maka berilah kami satu wasiyat."

Beliau bersabda: " Hendaklah kalian bertakwa kepada Allah, mendengar dan taat meski kepada seorang budak Habasyi. Dan sepeninggalku nanti, kalian akan melihat perselisihan yang sangat dahsyat, maka hendaklah kalian berpegang dengan sunnahku dan sunnah para khulafaur Rasyidin yang mendapat petunjuk. Gigitlah sunnah itu dengan gigi geraham, dan jangan sampai kalian mengikuti perkara-perkara yang dibuat-buat, karena sesungguhnya semua bid'ah itu adalah sesat

Yahya b. Ebi'l-Musa’dan rivayet edildiğine göre kendisi İrbad İbni Sariye’den şöyle söylediğini işitmiştir; Resulullah s.a.v. bir gün bizde kaldı.Kalpleri titreten ve gözleri yaşartan çok korkutucu bir mev'ize ile bize vaaz etti. O’na denildi ki; “Ya Resulullah s.a.v. vedalaşan kimsenin yaptığı vaaz gibi nasihat ettin. Bize tavsiyelerde bulun.”

Bunun üzerine Resulullah s.a.v. buyurdular ki; “Takvaya yapışınız ve başınızdaki Halife bir köle dahi olsa onu dinleyip itaat etmeye sarılınız. Siz benden sonra şiddetli ihtilafı göreceksiniz. Onun için benim sünnetime ve hidayete mazhar kılınmış olan Hulafa’yı Raşidin’in sünnetine yapışınız. Bu sünnetleri dişlerinizle sıkıca tutunuz.

(Yahut karşılaştığınız eziyetlere tahammül için dişlerinizi sıkınız.) İhdas edilen (dinde dayanağı olmadan dine sokulmak istenen) şeylerden sakının. Çünkü her bid'at dalalettir.”

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) delivered an eloquent sermon that filled the Companions' hearts with fear and filled their eyes with tears.

They said: O Messenger of Allah, it seems as if it is an admonition by one who will soon leave us - seeing his earnest effort in doing so. Hence, they asked him to give them advice that they would hold onto after him.

He said: I advise you to fear Allah Almighty by carrying out duties and avoiding prohibitions. And to hear and obey, i.e., hear and obey the rulers, even if your ruler or the one who seized authority over you is a slave. In other words, if the most inferior among people became your ruler, you should not disdain to obey him, out of fear of turbulence and strife, for whoever lives from you after me will see a great discord.

Then, he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) clarified that the way out of this discord is by adhering firmly to his Sunnah and to the Sunnah of the rightly guided Caliphs after him, namely Abu Bakr as-Siddīq, ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb, ‘Uthmān ibn ‘Affān, and ‘Ali ibn Abi Tālib (may Allah be pleased with them all), and by biting onto it with the molar teeth, i.e., by strictly observing and holding fast to the Sunnah.

He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) also warned them against the newly introduced matters in religion, as every religious innovation is a misguidance.

What it teaches

  • The importance of following and adhering to the Sunnah.
  • Attention should be given to admonitions and softening of hearts.
  • The commandment to follow the four rightly guided Caliphs, namely Abu Bakr, ‘Umar, ‘Uthmān, and ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with them all), after the Prophet.
  • The prohibition of introducing new things into the religion, and the fact that all religious innovations are misguidance.
  • Hearing and obeying whoever is in charge of the believers without disobeying Allah.
  • The importance of fearing Allah Almighty at all times and in all situations.
  • Discord will inevitably occur in this Ummah and when it occurs, Muslims must refer and adhere to the Sunnah of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and to that of the rightly guided Caliphs.
