حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْعَنَزِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ، (يَعْنِي أَبَا عَاصِمٍ) عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِذَا دَخَلَ الرَّجُلُ بَيْتَهُ فَذَكَرَ اللَّهَ عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِ وَعِنْدَ طَعَامِهِ قَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ لَا مَبِيتَ لَكُمْ وَلَا عَشَاءَ. وَإِذَا دَخَلَ فَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ اللَّهَ عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِ قَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ أَدْرَكْتُمُ الْمَبِيتَ. وَإِذَا لَمْ يَذْكُرِ اللَّهَ عِنْدَ طَعَامِهِ قَالَ أَدْرَكْتُمُ الْمَبِيتَ وَالْعَشَاءَ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: When a person enters his house and mentions the name of Allah at the time of entering it and while eating the food, Satan says (addressing himself: You have no place to spend the night and no evening meal; but when he enters without mentioning the name of Allah, the Satan says: You have found a place to spend the night, and when he does not mention the name of Allah while eating food, he (the Satan) says: You have found a place to spend the night and evening meal.

আবুর রাবী' আয যাহরানী ও কুতায়বাহ ইবনু সাঈদ (রহঃ) ..... জাবির ইবনু আবদুল্লাহ (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, একদা নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম জুমুআর দিন খুতবাহ দিচ্ছিলেন। তখন জনৈক ব্যক্তি উপস্থিত হলে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম তাকে বললেনঃ হে অমুক! তুমি কি সালাত আদায় করেছ? সে বলল, না। তিনি বলেনঃ উঠে দাঁড়িয়ে সালাত আদায় কর (তাহিয়্যাতুল মাসজিদ)। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ১৮৮৮, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

حماد بن زید نے عمرو بن دینار سے اور انھوں نے حضرت جابر بن عبداللہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت کی ، انھوں نے کہا : اسی اثناء میں جب جمعے کے دن رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم خطبہ دے رہے تھے ایک آدمی ( مسجد میں ) آیا تو نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اس سے پوچھا : " اے فلاں ( نام لیا ) !کیا تو نے نماز پڑھ لی ہے؟

" اس نے کہا : نہیں ۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : " اور اٹھو اور نماز پڑھو ۔

Dan Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Rabi' Az Zahrani] dan [Qutaibah bin Sa'id] keduanya berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hammad] ia adalah Ibnu Zaid dari [Amru bin Dinar] dari [Jabir bin Abdullah] ia berkata; Ketika Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam menyampaikan khutbah pada hari Jum'at, tiba-tiba datanglah seorang laki-laki dan Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pun bertanya kepadanya: "Apakah kamu telah menunaikan shalat (dua raka'at) wahai Fulan?"

laki-laki itu pun menjawab, "Belum." Beliau bersabda: "Bangun dan shalatlah." Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Bakar bin Abu Syaibah] dan [Ya'qub Ad Dauraqi] dari [Ibnu Ulayyah] dari [Ayyub] dari [Amru] dari [Jabir] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, yakni sebagaimana apa yang dikatakan Hammad, namun ia tidak menyebutkan dua raka'at

Bize Ebu'r-Rabî' ez-Zehrânî ile Kuteybetü'bnü Saîd rivayet ettiler. Dedilerki: Bize Hammâd —ki İbni Zeyddir— Amr b. Dinar'dan, o da Câbir b. Abdillâh'dan naklen rivayet etti. Câbir şöyle demiş: «Bir cum'a günü Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) hutbe okurken bir adam çıkageldi. Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) ona: «Namaz kıldın mı ey fülân!» diye sordu. Gelen zât: — Hayır; cevâbını verdi. Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) : «Kalk namaz kıl!» buyurdular

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) commands us to mention Allah upon entering the house and before eating. When one mentions Allah saying: "Bismillāh" (in the Name of Allah) upon entering his house and before eating, the devil says to his companions: You shall not have a night shelter or supper in this house whose owner has sought protection against you by mentioning Allah Almighty.

However, if one enters his house without mentioning Allah upon entering and before eating, the devil informs his companions that they will have a night shelter and supper in this house.

What it teaches

  • It is recommended to mention Allah upon entering the house and before eating as the devil spends the night in the houses and eats from its dwellers' food if they do not mention the name of Allah Almighty.
  • The devil is closely observing the son of Adam in his deeds, acts, and all his affairs. So, when one is heedless of Dhikr (remembrance of Allah), the devil achieves what he wants from him.
  • Dhikr repels the devil.
  • Every devil has followers and allies who rejoice at his words and follow his commands.
