وَحَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ، (يَعْنِيَانِ الْفَزَارِيَّ) عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ

قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ قَالَ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَكَفَرَ بِمَا يُعْبَدُ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ حَرُمَ مَالُهُ وَدَمُهُ وَحِسَابُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ»

I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) say: He who professed that there is no god but Allah and made a denial of everything which the people worship beside Allah, his property and blood became inviolable, an their affairs rest with Allah.

عمر وناقد ‘ سفیان بن عیینہ ‘ ہشام ‘ بن حجیر ‘ طاوس سے روایت ہے ، کہا : حضرت ابن عباس ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ کے پاس ایک کتاب لائی گئی جس میں حضرت علی ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ کے فیصلے ( لکھے ہوئے ) تھے تو انہوں نے اس قدر چھوڑ کر باقی ( سب کچھ ) مٹا دیا اور سفیان بن عیینہ نے ہاتھ ( جتنی لمبائی ) کا اشارہ کیا ۔

What it means

What it teaches

• Uttering "there is no god but Allah" and disbelieving in all that is worshiped other than Allah is a prerequisite for entering Islam.
• The meaning of "there is no god but Allah" is to disbelieve in all that is worshiped besides Allah, such as idols, graves, and other things, and to devote worship to Allah Almighty alone.
• Whoever holds the belief of Tawhīd (monotheism) and outwardly adheres to its ordinances should be spared any harm until he shows something contrary to that.
• The property, blood, and honor of a Muslim are inviolable, unless for a just cause.
• Judgment in worldly life depends on the outward aspect, whereas in the Hereafter, it depends on intentions and objectives.
