حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، (يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي حَازِمٍ) عَنْ أَبِي، حَازِمٍ عَنْ سَهْلٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، (وَاللَّفْظُ هَذَا) حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، (يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ) عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَهْلُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ

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

قَالَ فَبَاتَ النَّاسُ يَدُوكُونَ لَيْلَتَهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ يُعْطَاهَا (قَالَ) فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ النَّاسُ غَدَوْا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كُلُّهُمْ يَرْجُونَ أَنْ يُعْطَاهَا فَقَالَ: «أَيْنَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ».

فَقَالُوا هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَشْتَكِي عَيْنَيْهِ (قَالَ) فَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَيْهِ فَأُتِيَ بِهِ فَبَصَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ وَدَعَا لَهُ فَبَرَأَ حَتَّى كَأَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِهِ وَجَعٌ فَأَعْطَاهُ الرَّايَةَ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُقَاتِلُهُمْ حَتَّى يَكُونُوا مِثْلَنَا.

فَقَالَ: «انْفُذْ عَلَى رِسْلِكَ حَتَّى تَنْزِلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ ثُمَّ ادْعُهُمْ إِلَى الإِسْلَامِ وَأَخْبِرْهُمْ بِمَا يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ حَقِّ اللَّهِ فِيهِ فَوَاللَّهِ لأَنْ يَهْدِيَ اللَّهُ بِكَ رَجُلاً وَاحِدًا خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَكَ حُمْرُ النَّعَمِ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said on the Day of Khaibar: I would certainly give this standard to a person at whose hand Allah would grant victory and who loves Allah and His Messenger and Allah and His Messenger love him also. The people spent the night thinking as to whom it would be given. When it was morning the people hastened to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) all of them hoping that that would be given to him.

He (the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) said: Where is Ali ibn Abu Talib? They said: The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), his eyes are sore. He then sent for him and he was brought and the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) applied saliva to his eyes and invoked blessings and he was all right, as if he had no ailment at all, and conferred upon him the standard.

Ali said: The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), I will fight them until they are like us. Thereupon he (the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) said: Advance cautiously until you reach their open places, thereafter invite them to Islam and inform them what is obligatory for them from the rights of Allah, for, by Allah, if Allah guides aright even one person through you that is better for you than to possess the most valuable of the camels.

আবূ তহির (রহঃ) ..... আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু উমর (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম উমার ইবনুল খাত্ত্বাব (রাযিঃ) কে কখনো কখনো কিছু মাল দান করতেন। উমর (রাযিঃ) তাকে বলতেন, হে আল্লাহর রসূল! আমার এ মালের প্রয়োজন নেই। আমার চেয়ে যার প্রয়োজন ও অভাব বেশী তাকে দিন।

অতঃপর রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম তাকে বললেনঃ “এ মাল লও এবং নিজের কাছে রেখে দাও অথবা সদাকাহ করে দাও। তোমার কামনা ও প্রার্থনা ছাড়াই যে মাল তোমার কাছে এসে যায় তা রেখে দাও। আর যা এভাবে না আসে তার জন্য অন্তরে আশা পোষণ করো না।

বর্ণনাকারী সালিম (রাযিঃ) বলেন, এ কারণে ইবনু উমর (রাযিঃ) কারো কাছে কিছু চাইতেন না এবং কেউ যদি (না চাওয়া সত্ত্বেও) তাকে কিছু দিতেন তাহলে তিনি এটা ফেরতও দিতেন না।

عمرو بن حارث نے ابن شہاب سے ، انھوں نے سالم سے اور انھوں نے اپنے والد حضرت عبداللہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے ر وایت کی کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم حضرت عمر بن خطاب رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ کو عطیہ دیتے تو عمر رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ عرض کرتے : اے اللہ کے رسول صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم !یہ مجھ سے زیادہ ضرورت مند شخص کو دے دیجئے ۔

تو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : "" اس کو لے لو اور اپنا مال بنالو یا اسے صدقہ کردو اور اس مال میں سے جو تمہار ےپاس اس طرح آئے کہ تم نہ اس کے خواہش مند ہو نہ مانگنے والے تو اس کو لے لو اور جو ( مال ) اس طرح نہ ملے تو اس کا خیال بھی دل میں نہ لاؤ ۔

"" سالم نے کہا : اسی وجہ سے حضرت ابن عمر رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ بھی کسی سے کچھ نہیں مانگتے تھے اور جو چیز انھیں پیش کی جاتی تھی اس کو رد نہیں کرتے تھے ۔

Dan telah menceritakan kepadaku [Abu Thahir] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Ibnu Wahb] telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Amru bin Harits] dari [Ibnu Syihab] dari [Salim bin Abdullah] dari [bapaknya] bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pernah memberikan bagian zakat kepada Umar bin Al Khaththab, maka Umar pun berkata, "Wahai Rasulullah, berikanlah kepada orang yang lebih fakir dariku."

Maka Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pun bersabda kepadanya: "Ambil dan pergunakanlah untuk keperluanmu, atau sedekahkan! Apabila kamu diberi orang sesuatu pemberian tanpa kamu idam-idamkan dan tanpa meminta-minta, terimalah pemberian itu. Tetapi ingat, sekali-kali jangan meminta."

Salim berkata; "Oleh karena itu, Ibnu Umar tidak pernah meminta apa saja kepada seseorang, dan tidak pula menolak apa yang diberikan orang kepadanya." Dan telah menceritakan kepadaku [Abu Thahir] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Ibnu Wahb] - [Amru] berkata- Dan telah menceritakan kepadaku [Ibnu Syihab] sebagaimana hadits itu, dari [As Sa`ib bin Yazid] dari [Abdullah bin As Sa'di] dari [Umar bin Al Khaththab] radliallahu 'anhu dari Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam

Bana Ebû't-Tâhir rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize İbni Vehb haber verdi. (Dediki); Bana Amrû'bnu Haris, İbni Şihâb'dan, o da Salim b. Abdillâh'dan, o da babasından naklen haber verdi. Ki, Resulullah [Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem); Ömerü'bnii'l Hattâb (Radiyallahu anh) (Beytülmalden) birşeyler verir fakat Ömer ona: Yâ Resûlâllah bunu benden daha fakir birine ver dermiş.

Bunun üzerine Resûlullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ıc Sellem) kendisine: «Sen bunu al ister kendine mal et, istersen sadaka olarak ver. (Bir daha) göz dikmediğin ve istemediğin hâlde bu kabil maldan sana bir şey gelirse onu al. Böyle olmayan bir malı ise canın çekmesin» buyurmuşlar. Salim: «Bundan dolayıdır ki İbni Ömer kimseden bir şey istemez; verilen bir şeyi de geri çevirmezdi.» demiş

Sahih Muslim 2406, Book 44, The Book of the Merits of the Companions, Hadith 53. 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 the following day at the hands of a man to whom he would give the banner, which is the flag 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.

So, the Companions spent their night conversing and talking about the one who would be given the banner, hoping to win that great honor. In the morning, they went to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), each wishing to be the one who would win that honor. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) asked about ‘Ali ibn Abi Tālib. It was said: He is sick suffering from sore eyes. So, he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) sent for him, and when they brought him, he spat his honorable saliva into ‘Ali's eyes and supplicated for him.

‘Ali thus recovered from his sickness as if he had suffered no pain at all. Then he gave him the banner and ordered him to proceed gently until approaching the enemy's fortress, and he should then invite them to Islam. In case they respond to him, he should inform them of what is obligatory upon them. Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) clarified to ‘Ali the merit of calling people to Allah and the fact that if the preacher succeeds in guiding one single person, that will be better for him than having red camels, which represent the Arabs' most precious property, to possess or give out in charity.

What it teaches

  • Superiority of ‘Ali ibn Abi Tālib (may Allah be pleased with him) and the Prophet's testimony for him that he is loved by Allah and His Messenger and that he loves Allah and His Messenger.
  • The Companions' keenness to pursue goodness and their competing in doing good deeds.
  • It is a Shariah directive to adhere to good manners in fight, and give up rashness and needless disturbing voices.
  • Foretelling victory over the Jews and healing the eyes of ‘Ali ibn Abi Tālib, by Allah's permission, are among the signs of the Prophet's prophethood.
  • Making people embrace Islam is the greatest purpose behind Jihad.
  • Preaching should be carried out gradually, so the disbeliever should be at first asked to embrace Islam by pronouncing the Two Testimonies of Faith, and then he should be commanded to perform the obligations of Islam.
  • The merit of calling to Islam and the good it entails for the one called and the caller, as the former might be granted guidance and the latter would be greatly rewarded.
