حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ، أَنَّ عَائِذَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو، (

وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) دَخَلَ عَلَى عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ فَقَالَ أَىْ بُنَىَّ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ شَرَّ الرِّعَاءِ الْحُطَمَةُ فَإِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ».

فَقَالَ لَهُ اجْلِسْ فَإِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مِنْ نُخَالَةِ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. فَقَالَ وَهَلْ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ نُخَالَةٌ إِنَّمَا كَانَتِ النُّخَالَةُ بَعْدَهُمْ وَفِي غَيْرِهِمْ

Aidh ibn Amr who was one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) called on Ubaidullah ibn Ziyad and said (to him): O my son, I have heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) say: The worst of guardians is the cruel ruler. Beware of being one of them.

Ubaidullah said (to him out of arrogance): Sit you down. You are from the chaff of the Companions of Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). Aidh said: Was there worthless chaff among them? Such worthless chaff appeared after them and among other people.

ইবনু নুমায়র (রহঃ) ..... আয়িশাহ (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ আল্লাহর কাছে এমন ‘আমল সবচেয়ে প্রিয় যা কম হলেও স্থায়ীভাবে করা হয়। হাদীসের বর্ণনাকারী কাসিম ইবনু মুহাম্মাদ বলেছেনঃ ‘আয়িশাহ (রাযিঃ) কোন আমল শুরু করলে তা স্থায়ী ও অবশ্য করণীয় করে নিতেন। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ১৭০০, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

قاسم بن محمد نے حضرت عائشہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا سے روا یت کی ، انھوں نے کہا : رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فر ما یا : "" اللہ تعا لیٰ کے ہاں محبوب ترین کا م وہ ہے جس پر ہمیشہ عمل کیا جا ئے اگرچہ وہ قلیل ہو ۔ ( قاسم بن محمد نے ) کہا : حضرت عائشہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا جب کو ئی عمل کرتیں تو اس کو لازم کر لیتی ۔

Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Numair] telah menceritakan kepada kami [bapakku] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sa'd bin Sa'id] telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Al Qasim bin Muhammad] dari [Aisyah] ia berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Amalan yang paling dicintai Allah adalah yang terus-menerus (dilakukan) meskipun sedikit." Al Qasim berkata; Dan Aisyah, bila ia mengerjakan suatu amalan, maka ia kan menekuninya

Bize, İbni Numeyr rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize babam rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize, Sa'd b. Saîd rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bana, Kasim b. Muhammed, Âişe'den naklen haber verdi. Âişe şöyle demiş: Resûlullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) : «Allah Teâlâ'ya amellerin en makbulü, az da olsa en devâmlısıdır.» buyurdular. Râvî: «Âişe bir ameli işlediği vakit ona devam ederdi.» demişdir

What it means

‘Ā'idh ibn ‘Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) visited ‘Ubaydullāh ibn Ziyād, who was the ruler of the Iraqis after his father, and said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'The worst of shepherds is the harsh one'", i.e. the one who is harsh in looking after camels while herding them, bringing them in and taking them out, shoving them into one another, and overburdening them.

He was giving an example of the evil ruler, and the meaning intended here is the harsh ruler who oppresses people and is neither gentle nor merciful with them. The statement: "Beware of being one of them" is from the speech of ‘Ā'idh as an advice to Ibn Ziyād. Thereupon, Ibn Ziyād gave the following reply: "You are nothing but the chaff of them", i.e. you are not from the virtuous and knowledgeable Companions of the Prophet, or those with high status among them; rather, you are from the worthless among them.

The word "chaff" here is a metaphor used to indicate meanness and worthlessness. So the noble Companion (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "Was there worthless chaff among them? Such worthless chaff only appeared after them and among those other than them." This is the eloquence and veracity of speech that every Muslim believes in.

The Companions (may Allah be pleased with him) were all the cream of the crop, the masters of the Muslim nation, and more virtuous than those who came after them. All of them were upright role models and there is no worthless chaff among them. The chaff only came from and among those after them.
