حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَكْثِرُوا ذِكْرَ هَاذِمِ اللَّذَّاتِ». يَعْنِي الْمَوْتَ

“The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: ‘Frequently remember the destroyer of pleasures,’ meaning death.”

আবূ হুরায়রা (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ তোমরা অধিক পরিমাণে জীবনের স্বাদ হরণকারী অর্থাৎ মৃত্যুকে স্মরণ করো।

ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: لذتوں کو توڑنے والی ( یعنی موت ) کو کثرت سے یاد کیا کرو ۱؎۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Mahmud bin Ghailan] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Fadl bin Musa] dari [Muhammad bin 'Amru] dari [Abu Salamah] dari [Abu Hurairah] dia berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Perbanyaklah mengingat sesuatu yang dapat menghancurkan kenikmatan, yaitu kematian

Ebu Hureyre (r.a.)'den rivayet edildiğine göee; Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem): Lezzetleri keseni çokça hatırlayınız, buyurdu, demiştir. Yani ölümü (çokça hatırlayınız)

Sunan Ibn Majah 4258, Book 37, Zuhd, Hadith 159. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged frequent remembrance of death, as it reminds man of the Hereafter and demolishes his love for worldly pleasures in his heart, especially those that are forbidden.

What it teaches

  • Death cuts off the pleasures of this world, but as for the believer, it transfers him to the pleasures of the Hereafter and the pleasures of Paradise, with all the immense goodness therein.
  • Remembrance of death and what comes after it are among the reasons for repentance, turning away from sin, and preparing for the Hereafter.
