حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِيُّ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ كُلُّهُمْ عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِعَمْرٍو قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ

قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَجْلِسٍ فَقَالَ: «تُبَايِعُونِي عَلَى أَنْ لَا تُشْرِكُوا بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا وَلَا تَزْنُوا وَلَا تَسْرِقُوا وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلاَّ بِالْحَقِّ فَمَنْ وَفَى مِنْكُمْ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَمَنْ أَصَابَ شَيْئًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَعُوقِبَ بِهِ فَهُوَ كَفَّارَةٌ لَهُ وَمَنْ أَصَابَ شَيْئًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَسَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَمْرُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ إِنْ شَاءَ عَفَا عَنْهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ»

While we were in the company of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) he said: Swear allegiance to me that you will not associate anything with Allah, that you will not commit adultery, that you will not steal, that you will not take any life which it is forbidden by Allah to take but with (legal) justification; and whoever among you fulfils it, his reward is with Allah and he who commits any such thing and is punished for it, that will be all atonement for it And if anyone commits anything and Allah conceals (his faultfls), his matter rests with Allah. He may forgive if He likes, and He may punish him if He likes.

উবায়দুল্লাহ ইবনু মুআয (রহঃ) ... আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু শাক্বীক (রহঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি আয়িশাহ (রাযিঃ) কে জিজ্ঞেস করলাম। এতটুকু বর্ণনা করার পর তিনি নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম থেকে পূর্বোক্ত হাদীসের অনুরূপ হাদীস বর্ণনা করেছেন। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ১৫৭৯, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

کہمس نے عبداللہ بن شقیق سے روایت کی ، انھوں نے کہا : میں نے حضرت عائشہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا سے کہا ۔ ۔ ۔ پھر نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے اسی طرح روایت بیان کی ۔

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) took the pledge of allegiance from the Companions over obedience to the rulers in what is easy and what is hard and in the state of richness and poverty, and whether they like or dislike their commands; even if the rulers prefer themselves over the subjects concerning the public funds, positions, and the like, they should listen and obey them in what is good and not revolt against them.

This is because the strife and corruption that would result from fighting them are worse than the corruption caused by their oppression. Among the things they pledged allegiance to is to speak the truth wherever they may be, being sincere to Allah and not fearing those who reproach them.

What it teaches

  • The benefit resulting from listening and obeying the rulers is the unity of Muslims and renouncing dissension among them.
  • It is obligatory to listen and obey the rulers unless disobedience to Allah is involved, in what is easy and what is hard, and at times of energy and reluctance, and if they favor themselves regarding certain things.
  • It is obligatory to speak the truth wherever we may be without fearing the blame of anyone for the sake of Allah.
