وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ غَيْلَانَ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ رِيَاحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنَ الطَّاعَةِ وَفَارَقَ الْجَمَاعَةَ ثُمَّ مَاتَ مَاتَ مِيتَةً جَاهِلِيَّةً وَمَنْ قُتِلَ تَحْتَ رَايَةٍ عُمِّيَّةٍ يَغْضَبُ لِلْعَصَبَةِ وَيُقَاتِلُ لِلْعَصَبَةِ فَلَيْسَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي وَمَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عَلَى أُمَّتِي يَضْرِبُ بَرَّهَا وَفَاجِرَهَا لَا يَتَحَاشَ مِنْ مُؤْمِنِهَا وَلَا يَفِي بِذِي عَهْدِهَا فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Whoever defects from obedience (to the Amir) and separates from the main body of the Muslim – and dies in that state – dies the death of one belonging to the days of jahiliyya. And he who is killed under the banner of a man who is blind (to the cause for which he is fighting), who gets flared up with family pride and fights for his tribe is not from my Ummah, and whosoever from my followers attacks my followers (indiscriminately) killing the righteous and the wicked of them, sparing not (even) those staunch in faith and fulfilling not his obligation towards them who have been given a pledge (of security), is not from me (i.e. is not my follower).

ইবনু আখী ইবনু ওয়াহব (রহঃ) ... ইবনুল হাদ (রহঃ) থেকে একই সনদে অনুরূপ হাদীস বর্ণনা করেছেন। তবে এ হাদীসে তিনি إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم (রসূলুল্লাহসাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন) উল্লেখ করেছেন এবং سَمِعَ (রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম কে বলতে শুনেছেন) উল্লেখ করেননি। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ১৭১৮, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

عمر بن مالک اور حیوہ بن شریح نے ابن ہاد سے اسی سند کے ساتھ بالکل اس جیسی روا یت بیان کی اور انھوں نے ( ان رسول الله ) ( بے شک رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فر ما یا ) کہا اور سَمِعَ ( اس نے سنا ) کا لفظ نہیں بولا ۔

Sahih Muslim 1848c, Book 33, The Book on Government, Hadith 85. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pointed out that if anyone departs from obedience to the rulers and separates from the community of Muslims who agreed to pledge allegiance to the ruler and dies in this state of separation and disobedience, he has died like the death of the people of jāhiliyyah, who would not obey a leader or join one group; instead, they were different groups and tribes fighting one another. And the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that if anyone fights under a banner with which he cannot distinguish the truth from falsehood.

He gets angry for the sole purpose of bias for his people or tribe, not for supporting the religion and the truth. He fights for fanaticism without insight or knowledge; his killing is like that of jāhiliyyah if he dies in this state. And that if anyone revolts against his Ummah, striking the righteous and the wicked of them and not caring about what he does or not fearing the punishment for killing the believers among them, and does not fulfill a covenant with those whom he has made covenants with from among the disbelievers or the rulers - rather, he violates them - this is a major sin and whoever commits it deserves this stern warning.

What it teaches

  • It is obligatory to obey the rulers in things that involve no disobedience to Allah Almighty.
  • It gives a stern warning about revolting against the ruler and departing from the Muslim community. Whoever dies in this state has died on the way of the people of jāhiliyyah.
  • The Hadīth forbids fighting for the sake of tribalism.
  • It is obligatory to fulfill covenants.
  • In obedience to the ruler and adhering to the community lie a lot of goodness, safety, tranquillity, and good conditions.
  • It is prohibited to emulate the way of the people of jāhiliyyah.
  • It enjoins adherence to the Muslim community.
