حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، (يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْقَارِيَّ) عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ «لأُعْطِيَنَّ هَذِهِ الرَّايَةَ رَجُلاً يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يَفْتَحُ اللَّهُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ».

قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ مَا أَحْبَبْتُ الإِمَارَةَ إِلاَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ (قَالَ) فَتَسَاوَرْتُ لَهَا رَجَاءَ أَنْ أُدْعَى لَهَا (قَالَ) فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهَا وَقَالَ: «امْشِ وَلَا تَلْتَفِتْ حَتَّى يَفْتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ».

قَالَ فَسَارَ عَلِيٌّ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ وَقَفَ وَلَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ فَصَرَخَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلَى مَاذَا أُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ قَالَ: «قَاتِلْهُمْ حَتَّى يَشْهَدُوا أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ مَنَعُوا مِنْكَ دِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ إِلاَّ بِحَقِّهَا وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said on the Day of Khaibar: I shall certainly give this standard in the hand of one who loves Allah and his Messenger and Allah will grant victory at his hand.

Umar ibn al-Khattab said: Never did I cherish for leadership but on that day. I came before him with the hope that I may be called for this, but the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) called Ali ibn Abu Talib and he conferred (this honour) upon him and said: Proceed on and do not look about until Allah grants you victory, and Ali went a bit and then halted and did not look about and then said in a loud voice: The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), on what issue should I fight with the people?

Thereupon he (the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) said: Fight with them until they bear testimony to the fact that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger, and when they do that then their blood and their riches are inviolable from your hands but what is justified by law and their reckoning is with Allah.

হারূন ইবনু মা’রূফ ও হারমালাহ ইবনু ইয়াহইয়া (রহঃ) ..... সালিম ইবনু 'আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু উমর (রাযিঃ) থেকে তার পিতার সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি 'উমার ইবনু খাত্তাব (রাযিঃ) কে বলতে শুনেছিঃ রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম আমাকে কিছু উপঢৌকন দিতেন এবং আমি বলতাম, এটা আমাকে না দিয়ে যে আমার চেয়ে বেশী অভাবী তাকে দিন।

এমনকি একবার তিনি আমাকে কিছু মাল দিলেন। আমি বললাম, আমার তুলনায় যার প্রয়োজন বেশী এটা তাকে দিন। তখন রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেনঃ এটা গ্রহণ কর এবং এছাড়া ঐ সব মালও গ্রহণ কর, যা কোন প্রকার লালসা ও প্রার্থনা ব্যতীতই তোমার কাছে এসে যায়। আর যা এভাবে আসে তা পাওয়ার ইচ্ছাও রেখো না।

یونس نے ابن شہاب سے ، انہوں نے سالم بن عبداللہ بن عمر رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے اور انھوں نے اپنے والد ( عبداللہ بن عمر رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ ) سے روایت کی ، کہا : میں نے حضر ت عمر بن خطاب رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے سنا ، کہہ رہے تھے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کبھی مجھے عنایت فرماتے تھے تو میں عرض کرتا : کسی ایسے آدمی کو عنایت فرمادیجئے جو اس کا مجھ سے زیادہ ضرورت مند ہو حتیٰ کہ ایک دفعہ آپ نے مجھے بہت سارا مال عطا کردیا تو میں نے عرض کی : کسی ایسے فرد کو عطا کردیجئے جو اس کا مجھ سے زیادہ محتاج ہو ۔

تو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : " اسے لے لو اور ایسا جو مال تمھارے پاس اس طرح آئے کہ نہ تو تم اس کے خواہش مند ہو اور نہ ہی مانگنے والے ہو تو اس کو لے لو اور جو مال اس طرح نہ ملے اس کا خیال بھی دل میں نہ لاؤ ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Harun bin Ma'ruf] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Wahb] -dalam jalur lain- Dan telah menceritakan kepadaku [Harmalah bin Yahya] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Ibnu Wahb] telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Yunus] dari [Ibnu Syihab] dari [Salim bin Abdullah bin Umar] dari [bapaknya] ia berkata; saya mendengar [Umar bin Al Khaththab] berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pernah memberikan (bagian zakat) kepadaku, namun aku berkata, "Berikanlah kepada orang yang lebih fakir dariku."

Hingga suatu hari beliau memberikan harta kepadaku, maka aku pun berkata, "Berikanlah kepada orang yang lebih fakir dariku." Maka Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Ambillah. Dan bila kamu diberikan sesuatu sedangkan kamu tidak mengidam-idamkannya dan tidak pula meminta-minta, maka ambillah. Dan jika tidak demikian maka janganlah kamu memperturutkan hawa nafsumu

Bize Hârûn b. Ma'arûf rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Abdullah b. Vehb rivayet etti. H. Bana Harmeletü'bnu Yahya rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize îbni Vehb haber verdi. (Dediki): Bana Yûnus, İbni Şihâd'dan, o da Salim b. Abdillâh b. Ömer'den, o da babasından naklen haber verdi. Abdullah b. Ömer şöyle demiş: Ben Ömerü'bnu'l-Hattâb (Radiyallahu anh)'i şöyle derken işittim, Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) bâzan bana (Beytü'l mâl'den) bir şeyler verir, ben de: Bunu benden daha fakirine ver, derdim.

Hattâ bir defa bana bir mal verdi de: Onu benden fakir birine ver dedim. Bunun üzerine Resûlullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) «Sen bunu al! bu kabilden göz dikmediğin ve istemediğin halde sana gelen malı da al. Böyle olmayan bir malı ise canın çekmesin.» buyurdular

Sahih Muslim 2405, Book 44, The Book of the Merits of the Companions, Hadith 52. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed the Companions that Muslims would win victory over the Jews of Khaybar, a city near Madīnah, the following day at the hands of a man whom he would give the banner, i.e., the flag that the army takes as its slogan. Among the traits of this man is that he loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah and His Messenger love him. ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned that he never liked the idea of leadership or being one meant except that day in the hope that he might be the one to win the love of Allah and His Messenger that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned.

‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) stretched his body to be seen by the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), hoping that he would be called for that mission and out of keenness to take this banner. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) called ‘Ali ibn Abi Tālib (may Allah be pleased with him) and gave him the banner and ordered him to proceed with the army and not to quit the fight after encountering his enemy, for rest, a pause, or a truce until Allah grants him victory and dominance over these fortresses. ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) proceeded, then he stopped but without looking back so as not to disobey the Prophet's command.

He raised his voice and said: O Messenger of Allah, on what should I fight the people? He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Fight them until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. If they respond and embrace Islam, then their blood and properties become inviolable and unlawful for you except what is rightly justified, i.e., unless they commit a crime or felony for which they deserve to be killed in compliance with the rulings of Islam, and their reckoning is with Allah.

What it teaches

  • The Companions used to dislike leadership because of the great responsibility it entails.
  • It is permissible to aspire and look forward to a matter that is confirmed to be good.
  • The ruler guides the army leader on how to act in the battlefield.
  • The Companions of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) adhered to his commandments and hastened to implement them.
  • When one is confused about what is assigned to him, he should inquire about it.
  • One of the signs of his prophethood (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) is informing about the victory over the Jews, as he informed about the conquest of Khaybar, and it occurred just as he said.
  • We are encouraged to hasten and take the initiative to carry out the commands of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).
  • It is impermissible to kill whoever pronounced the Two Testimonies of Faith unless something appears from him that requires killing him.
  • The rulings of Islam apply to what appears from people, whereas their hidden aspects are entrusted to Allah.
  • The greatest purpose behind Jihad is to make people embrace Islam.
