حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «صِنْفَانِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ لَمْ أَرَهُمَا قَوْمٌ مَعَهُمْ سِيَاطٌ كَأَذْنَابِ الْبَقَرِ يَضْرِبُونَ بِهَا النَّاسَ وَنِسَاءٌ كَاسِيَاتٌ عَارِيَاتٌ مُمِيلَاتٌ مَائِلَاتٌ رُءُوسُهُنَّ كَأَسْنِمَةِ الْبُخْتِ الْمَائِلَةِ لَا يَدْخُلْنَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَا يَجِدْنَ رِيحَهَا وَإِنَّ رِيحَهَا لَيُوجَدُ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ كَذَا وَكَذَا»

حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «صِنْفَانِ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ لَمْ أَرَهُمَا قَوْمٌ مَعَهُمْ سِيَاطٌ كَأَذْنَابِ الْبَقَرِ يَضْرِبُونَ بِهَا النَّاسَ وَنِسَاءٌ كَاسِيَاتٌ عَارِيَاتٌ مُمِيلَاتٌ مَائِلَاتٌ رُءُوسُهُنَّ كَأَسْنِمَةِ الْبُخْتِ الْمَائِلَةِ لَا يَدْخُلْنَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَا يَجِدْنَ رِيحَهَا وَإِنَّ رِيحَهَا لَتُوجَدُ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ كَذَا وَكَذَا»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Two are the types of the denizens of Hell whom I did not see: people having flogs like the tails of the ox with them and they would be beating people, and the women who would be dressed but appear to be naked, who would be inclined (to evil) and make their husbands incline towards it.

Their heads would be like the humps of the bukht camel inclined to one side. They will not enter Paradise and they would not smell its odour whereas its odour would be smelt from such and such distance.

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Two are the types amongst the denizens of Hell, the one possessing whips like the tail of an ox and they flog people with their help. (The second one) the women who would be naked in spite of their being dressed, who are seduced (to wrong paths) and seduce others with their hair high like humps.

These women would not get into Paradise and they would not perceive the odour of Paradise, although its frag- rance can be perceived from such and such distance (from great distance).

মুহাম্মাদ ইবনু আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু নুমায়র (রহঃ) ..... নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর স্ত্রী উম্মু সালামাহ (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম কে বলতে শুনেছি, ..... পরবর্তী বর্ণনা উসামাহ এর হাদীস সদৃশ।

তবে এ কথাটুকু বাড়িয়েছেনঃ উম্মু সালামাহ (রাযিঃ) বলেন, এরপর যখন আবূ সালামাহ (রাযিঃ) ইনতিকাল করলেন, আমি মনে মনে বললামঃ আবূ সালামাহ (রাযিঃ) এর চেয়ে উত্তম মানুষ কে আছেন যিনি রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর বিশিষ্ট সাহাবী? অতঃপর আল্লাহ তা'আলা আমাকে দৃঢ়তা দান করলেন এবং আমি ঐরূপ দুআ করলাম।

উম্মু সালামাহ (রাযিঃ) বলেন, এরপর আমার বিয়ে হ’ল রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর সাথে। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ১৯৯৭, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

عبداللہ بن نمیر نے کہا : ہمیں سعد بن سعید نے حدیث سنائی ، انھوں نے کہا : مجھے عمر بن کثیر نے حضرت ام سلمہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا کے آزاد کردہ غلام ابن سفینہ سے خبر دی اور انھوں نے نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی اہلیہ حضرت ام سلمہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا سے روایت کی ، انھوں نے کہا : میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو فرماتے ہوئے سنا ۔

۔ ۔ ( آگے ) ابو اسامہ کی حدیث کے مانند ( حدیث بیان کی ) اور یہ اضافہ کیا : حضرت ام سلمہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا نےکہا : جب ابو سلمہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ فوت ہوگئے تو میں نے ( دل میں ) کہا : رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے صحابی ابو سلمہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے بہتر کون ہوسکتاہے؟پھر اللہ تعالیٰ نے میرے ارادے کو پختہ کردیا تو میں نےوہی ( کلمات ) کہے ۔ اس کے بعد میری رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے شادی ہوگئی ۔

Bize Muhammedü'bnü Abdillâh b. Numeyr rivayet etti (dediki): Bize babam rivayet etti. (dediki): Bize Sa'dü'bnü Saîd rivayet etti. (dediki): Bana Ömer yâni îbni Kesir, Ümmü Seleme'nin azatlısı İbni Sefîne'den, o da Peygamber {Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'in zevcesi Ümmü Seleme'den naklen haber verdi. Ümmü Seleme: «Ben, Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'i şöyle buyururken işittim...»

diyerek; Ebû Usâme hadîsi gibi rivayette bulunmuş. Bu hadlsde râvî şunu ziyâde etmiştir: «Ümmü Seleme dediki: Ebû Seleme vefat edince ben: — Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'in sahâbîsi Ebû Selemeden daha hayırlı kim olabilir? dedim, sonra Allah bana azim halketti de, o duayı okudum. Müteakiben Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) ile evlendim.»

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) warns against two types of people from the dwellers of Hellfire whom he did not see and who did not exist during his time; rather, they will come to exist afterwards. First type: They are people who have whips like the long tails of cows with which they beat people, and those are the policemen and the oppressors' soldiers who beat people wrongfully. Second type: They are women who have abandoned chastity and modesty,

which usually constitute part of the woman's nature. Their description: Dressed in reality but naked in meaning because they wear transparent clothes that reveal the color of their skin; and they cover parts of their body and expose other parts to show their beauty. They cause men's hearts to be inclined to them by their clothes and swaggering gait.

They walk while inclining their shoulders and invite others to deviation and aberration that they indulge in. Moreover, their heads are like the inclined hump of a camel, as they make their heads look larger and bigger by wrapping a scarf and the like around it. Their heads are likened to the humps of the Bactrian camels given the fact that they raise their hair and braids on top of their heads and these braids are inclined to one side of the head just like the camel's hump.

Women who fit such a description are subject to this severe threat of not entering Paradise, or smelling its fragrance, or even approaching it although the fragrance of Paradise could be smelled from a far distance.

What it teaches

  • It is prohibited to beat or harm people who have not committed a sin or an evil deed.
  • It is prohibited to help the oppressors with their oppression.
  • Warning women against exposing their adornment, uncovering their beauty, and wearing tight and transparent clothes that describe or expose the ‘Awrah (body parts that must be covered).
  • Encouraging the Muslim woman to adhere to the commands of Allah and refrain from whatever displeases Him and makes her worthy of eternal and painful punishment in the Hereafter.
  • This Hadīth is one of the signs of his prophethood (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) as he informed us about things from the unseen, which did not occur at his time, and they have occurred exactly as he said.
