حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «أَلَا كُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ وَكُلُّكُمْ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ فَالأَمِيرُ الَّذِي عَلَى النَّاسِ رَاعٍ وَهُوَ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ وَالرَّجُلُ رَاعٍ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَهُوَ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْهُمْ وَالْمَرْأَةُ رَاعِيَةٌ عَلَى بَيْتِ بَعْلِهَا وَوَلَدِهِ وَهِيَ مَسْئُولَةٌ عَنْهُمْ وَالْعَبْدُ رَاعٍ عَلَى مَالِ سَيِّدِهِ وَهُوَ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْهُ أَلَا فَكُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ وَكُلُّكُمْ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) (May be upon him) said: Beware. every one of you is a shepherd and every one is answerable with regard to his flock. The Caliph is a shepherd over the people and shall be questioned about his subjects (as to how he conducted their affairs). A man is a guardian over the members of his family and shal be questioned about them (as to how he looked after their physical and moral well-being).

A woman is a guardian over the household of her husband and his children and shall be questioned about them (as to how she managed the household and brought up the children). A slave is a guardian over the property of his master and shall be questioned about it (as to how he safeguarded his trust). Beware, every one of you is a guardian and every one of you shall be questioned with regard to his trust.

যুহায়র ইবনু হারব ও ইসহাক ইবনু ইবরাহীম (রহঃ) ..... আলকামাহ্ (রহঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি উম্মুল মুমিনীন আয়িশাহ (রাযিঃ) কে জিজ্ঞেস করলাম। বললামঃ হে উন্মুল মুমিনীন! রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর 'আমল কেমন ছিল। তিনি কি কোন নির্দিষ্ট ইবাদাতের জন্য কোন বিশেষ দিন নির্দিষ্ট করে নিতেন?

জবাবে আয়িশাহ (রাযিঃ) বললেনঃ না। তবে তার আমল ছিল স্থায়ী প্রকৃতির। আর তোমাদের মধ্যে কে এমন আছে রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম যে কাজ করতে পারেন সেও সে কাজ করতে পারবে? (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ১৬৯৯, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

علقمہ سے روایت ہے کہا میں نے ام المومنین !عائشہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا سے سوال کیا اور کہا ام المومنین !رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے عمل کی کیفیت کیا تھی؟کیا آپ ( کسی خاص عمل کے لیے ) کچھ ایام مخصوص فر ما لیتے تھے؟انھوں نے فر ما یا : نہیں آپ کا عمل دائمی ہو تا تھا اور تم میں سے کو ن اس قدر استطاعت رکھتا ہے جتنی استطاعت رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم میں تھی ؟

Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Zuhair bin Harb] dan [Ishaq bin Ibrahim] -Zuhari berkata- telah menceritakan kepada kami [Jarir] dari [Manshur] dari [Ibrahim] dari [Alqamah] ia berkata; Saya bertanya kepada Ummul mukminin [Aisyah], "Wahai Ummul mukminin, bagaimanah amalan Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam? Apakah beliau mengkhususkan suatu amalan pada hari tertentu?"

Aisyah menjawab, "Tidak, amalan beliau adalah terus menerus. Dan siapa pun kalian, pasti akan mampu melakukan amalan yang Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam mampu melakukannya

Bize, Züheyr b. Harb ile İshâk b. İbrahim rivayet ettiler. Züheyr Dediki: Bize, Cerîr, Mansûr'dan, o da İbrahim'den, o da Âlkame'den naklen rivayet etti. Âlkanıe şöyle demiş: «Ümmü'l-Mü'minîn Âişe'ye sordum; dedimki: Yâ Umme'l-Mü'minin Resûlullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'in ibâdet işi nasıldı? Günlerden birine tahsis ettiği bir şey olurmuydu?»

Âişe, şu cevâbı verdi: «Hayır! Onun ameli devamlıydı. Resûlullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'in kadir olduğu şey'e sizin hanginiz takat getirebilir ki!»

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that every Muslim in the society has a responsibility to undertake and bear. The leader or the ruler is a guardian over those Allah has placed in his charge. He is responsible for preserving their legislation, defending against whoever wrongs them, fighting against their enemies, and not wasting their rights.

The man in his family is responsible for providing for them, treating them kindly, teaching, and disciplining them. The woman in her husband's house is a guardian for managing his house well and bringing up his children, and she will be held accountable for this. The servant and the employee are responsible for their masters' wealth by preserving what is under their control thereof and serving them, and they will be held accountable for that.

So, everyone is a guardian over what has been placed under his charge, and everyone is responsible for his subjects.

What it teaches

  • The responsibility in the Muslim community is general and everyone should fulfill his responsibility according to his ability.
  • The woman's responsibility is great, as she is responsible for fulfilling the right of her husband's house and her duties towards her children.
