حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، وَعَمِّهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ: سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَا أَكْثَرُ مَا يُدْخِلُ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ: «التَّقْوَى وَحُسْنُ الْخُلُقِ». وَسُئِلَ: مَا أَكْثَرُ مَا يُدْخِلُ النَّارَ قَالَ: «الأَجْوَفَانِ: الْفَمُ وَالْفَرْجُ»

“The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was asked: ‘What most admits people to Paradise?’ He said: ‘Piety and good manners.’ And he was asked: ‘What most leads people to Hell?’ He said: ‘The two hollow ones: The mouth and the private part.’”

আবূ হুরায়রা (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম কে জিজ্ঞেস করা হলো, কোন্ জিনিসের বদৌলতে বেশীর ভাগ লোক জান্নাতে প্রবেশ করবে। তিনি বলেনঃ তাক্বওয়া ও সচ্চরিত্রের বদৌলতে। তাকে আরো জিজ্ঞেস করা হলো, কোন্ জিনিসের কারণে অধিকাংশ লোক জাহান্নামে যাবে? তিনি বলেনঃ দু’টি অংগ- মুখ ও লজ্জাস্থান।

ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے پوچھا گیا: کون سے کام لوگوں کو زیادہ تر جنت میں داخل کریں گے؟ تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: تقویٰ ( اللہ تعالیٰ کا خوف ) اور حسن خلق ( اچھے اخلاق ) ، اور پوچھا گیا: کون سے کام زیادہ تر آدمی کو جہنم میں لے جائیں گے؟ فرمایا: دو کھوکھلی چیزیں: منہ اور شرمگاہ ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Harun bin Ishaq] dan [Abdullah bin Sa'id] keduanya berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Idris] dari [ayahnya] dan [pamannya] dari [kakeknya] dari [Abu Hurairah] dia berkata; Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pernah di tanya; "perkara apa yang banyak menyebabkan masuk surga?"

beliau menjawab: "Takwa kepada Allah dan akhlak yang mulia." Dan beliau di tanya; "Perkara apa yang banyak menyebabkan masuk neraka?" beliau menjawab: "Dua rongga yang terbuka yaitu mulut dan kemaluan

Ebu Hureyre (r.a.)'den rivayet edildiğine göre; Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem): (Mu'mini) cennet'e dahil eden (yani cennete girmesinesebep olan) amellerin en çoğu hangisidir? diye soruldu. O: Takva (yani Allah korkusu) ve huy güzelliğidir, buyurdu. Ve O'na: (Mu'mini) cehenneme sokan günahların en çoğu hangisidir? diye soruldu. O: (Şu) iki organ : Ağız ve tenasül uzvu, buyurdu

Sunan Ibn Majah 4246, Book 37, Zuhd, Hadith 147. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pointed out that the greatest means that lead one to Paradise are: Fear of Allah and good character. Fear of Allah (taqwa) is to make wiqāya (shield) between oneself and the punishment of Allah, by observing His commands and prohibitions. Good character: by having a cheerful face, doing good to others, and averting harm from them. And that the greatest causes for a person's entry into Hellfire are: The tongue and the private parts. The sins committed by the tongue include: lying, backbiting, and tale-bearing. The sins committed by the private parts include: adultery, sodomy, etc.

What it teaches

  • There are causes for entering Paradise related to Allah Almighty, like fear of Him, and causes related to people, like a good character.
  • The Hadīth highlights the danger of the tongue and that it is one of the causes of entering Hellfire.
  • It demonstrates the danger of desires and immoralities to people and that they are among the most common causes of entering Hellfire.
