حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ السُّلَمِيُّ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ اللُّؤْلُؤِيُّ، وَأَلْفَاظُهُمْ مُتَقَارِبَةٌ قَالَ مَحْمُودٌ حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، وَقَالَ الآخَرَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

قَالَ بَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ أَصْحَابِهِ شَىْءٌ فَخَطَبَ فَقَالَ: «عُرِضَتْ عَلَىَّ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ فَلَمْ أَرَ كَالْيَوْمِ فِي الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ وَلَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلاً وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا».

قَالَ فَمَا أَتَى عَلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمٌ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ (قَالَ) غَطَّوْا رُءُوسَهُمْ وَلَهُمْ خَنِينٌ (قَالَ) فَقَامَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ رَضِينَا بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا وَبِالإِسْلَامِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيًّا (قَالَ) فَقَامَ ذَاكَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ: مَنْ أَبِي قَالَ: «أَبُوكَ فُلَانٌ».

فَنَزَلَتْ «يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ»

Something was conveyed to him (the Holy prophet) about his Companions, so he addressed them and said: Paradise and Hell were presented to me and I have never seen the good and evil as (I did) today. And if you were to know you would have wept more and laughed less.

He (the narrator) said: There was nothing more burdensome for the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) than this. They covered their heads and the sound of weeping was heard from them.

Then there stood up Umar and he said: We are well pleased with Allah as our Lord, with Islam as our code of life and with Muhammad as our Messenger, and it was at that time that a person stood up and he said: Who is my father? Thereupon he (the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) said: Your father is so and so; and there was revealed the verse: “ O you who believe, do not ask about matters which, if they were to be made manifest to you (in terms of law), might cause to you harm” (v).

আমর আন নাকিদ (রহঃ) ..... আবূ হুরায়রাহ্ (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম) বলেনঃ খরচকারী ও দান-খয়রাতকারী (এখানে বর্ণনাকারীর ভুল হয়ে গেছে সঠিক কথা হলো- কৃপণ ও সদাকাকারীর) উদাহরণ ঐ ব্যক্তির ন্যায় যার পরনে দুটি জামা অথবা দুটি বর্ম রয়েছে (বর্ম সম্পর্কে বর্ণনাকারী বলেন, যখন সদাকাকারী সদাকাহ দিতে ইচ্ছে করে) তখন ঐ বর্ম প্রশস্ত হয়ে যায় এবং তার সমস্ত শরীরে ছেয়ে যায়।

আর যখন কৃপণ ব্যক্তি ব্যয় করতে চায় তখন ঐ বর্ম তার জন্য সঙ্কীর্ণ হয়ে এবং বর্মের পরিধি স্ব-স্ব স্থানে কমে যায়। এমনকি তার সব গ্রন্থিগুলো আবৃত করে ফেলে এবং তার পায়ের চিহ্নগুলোও মুছে ফেলে।

বর্ণনাকারী বলেন, আবূ হুরায়রাহ (রাযিঃ) তার বর্ণিত হাদীসে বলেছেন, “অতঃপর নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেন, সে তা প্রশস্ত করতে চায় কিন্তু প্রশস্ত হয় না।"

ابو زناد نے اعرج سے ، انھوں نے حضرت ابو ہریرہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے اور انھوں نے نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے روایت کی ، نیز ابن جریج نے کہا : حسن بن مسلم سے ، انھوں نے طاوس سے ، انھوں نے ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے اور انھوں نے نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے روایت کی کہ " خرچ کرنے والے اور صدقہ دینے والے کی مثال اس آدمی کی ہے جس کے جسم پر چھاتی سے لے کر ہنسلی کی ہڈیوں تک دو جبے یا دو زرہیں ہوں ۔

جب خرچ کرنے والا اور دوسرے ( راوی ) نے کہا : جب صدقہ کرنے والا ۔ خرچ کرنے کا ارادہ کرتاہے تو وہ زرہ اس ( کے جسم ) پر کھل جاتی ہے یا رواں ہوجاتی ہے اور جب بخیل خرچ کرنے کاارادہ کرتا ہےتو وہ اس ( کے جسم ) پر سکڑ جاتی ہے اورہر حلقہ اپنی جگہ ( کومضبوطی سے ) پکڑ لیتا ہے حتیٰ کہ اس ( کی انگلیوں ) کے پوروں کو ڈھانپ دیتا ہے اور اس کے نقش پا کو مٹا دیتا ہے ۔

" کہا : تو ابو ہریرہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ نے کہا : آپ نے فرمایا : " وہ ( بخیل ) اس کو کھولنا چاہتا ہے لیکن وہ کھلتی نہیں ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Amru An Naqid] Telah menceritakan kepada kami Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sufyan bin Uyainah] dari [Abu Zinad] dari [Al A'raj] dari [Abu Hurairah] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam - [Amru] berkata- Dan Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sufyan bin Uyainah] ia berkata; - [Ibnu Juraij] berkata- dari [Al Hasan bin Muslim] dari [Thawus] dari [Abu Hurairah] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, beliau bersabda: "Perumpamaan orang yang suka bersedekah (dermawan) bagaikan seorang yang memakai dua perisai di atas kedua susunya hingga ke tulang selangkanya.

Bila dia ingin bersedekah, maka baju tersebut terasa longgar baginya. Dan bila orang bakhil ingin bersedekah, baju besi itu terasa sempit baginya seakan lengket ke kulitnya hingga menutupi jari-jemari kakinya bahkan menghapus jejak kakinya. Abu Hurairah berkata: Ketika ia berusaha untuk melapangkannya, dia tidak bisa melakukannya

Bize Amru'n-Nâkıd rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Süfyân b. Uyeyne, Ebû'z-Zinâd'dan, o da A'rac'dan, o da Ebû Hureyre'den, o da Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)den naklen rivayet etti.

Amr şöyle dedi: Bize Süfyân b. Uyeyne de rivayet etti. (Dediki): İbni Cüreyc Hasan b. Müslim'den, o da Tâvûs'dan, o da Ebû Hureyre'den, o da Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'den naklen rivayet ettiğini söyledi. Efendimiz şöyle buyurmuşlar: «İnfâk edenle, sadaka verenin misâli üzerinde memelerinden köprücük kemiklerine kadar iki cübbe yahut iki zırh bulunan bir adamın misâli gibidir.

İnfâk eden öteki râvî: Sadaka veren istediği vakit; demiş. Sadaka vermek İstedimi cübbesi bedenini kaplar. Yahut üzerine yayılır. Cimri olan kimse infâk etmek istedimi cübbesi büzülür ve her halkası yerini alır. O derecede ki: parmak uçlarını kaplar ve izini örter.» Ebû Hureyre :Cübbeyi genişletmeye çalışır, ama genişletmez, demek istiyor.» demiş

What it means

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was informed about something regarding his Companions, namely that they had been asking him too many questions, and he became upset and delivered a speech and said: Paradise and Hellfire were presented to me; I have never seen anything as good as what I saw today in Paradise, nor as evil as what I saw today in Hellfire.

If you had seen what I saw and knew what I knew from what I saw today and before, you would have felt great compassion, and your laughter would have been few and your crying would have been abundant.

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: There was no day harder for his Companions than that day. They covered their heads, and there was a sound of weeping, with a nasal tone coming from their noses due to the intensity of their crying.

‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: We are pleased with Allah as a Lord, with Islam as a religion, and with Muhammad as a Prophet. He said: Then that man stood up and said: Who is my father? He said: "Your father is so-and-so." Then the following verse was revealed: {O you who believe, do not ask about things which, if they are made known to you, would only cause you hardship.} [Surat al-Mā’idah: 101]

What it teaches

  • It is recommended to cry out of fear of Allah's punishment and not to laugh excessively, as it indicates heedlessness and a hard heart.
  • The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were deeply affected by the sermon, and they were greatly fearful of Allah's punishment.
  • It is recommended to cover the face when weeping.
  • Al-Khattābi said: This Hadīth is about those who ask out of affectation or obstinacy in matters that are not necessary. As for those who ask due to necessity, such as a matter that one needs clarification on, there is no sin or blame upon it.
  • The encouragement to remain steadfast in obeying Allah, to avoid His disobedience, and not violate His boundaries.
  • It indicates the permissibility of anger during admonition and teaching.
