حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِيَّاكُمْ وَالظَّنَّ فَإِنَّ الظَّنَّ أَكْذَبُ الْحَدِيثِ وَلَا تَحَسَّسُوا وَلَا تَجَسَّسُوا وَلَا تَنَافَسُوا وَلَا تَحَاسَدُوا وَلَا تَبَاغَضُوا وَلَا تَدَابَرُوا وَكُونُوا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِخْوَانًا»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Avoid suspicion, for suspicion is the gravest lie in talk and do not be inquisitive about one another and do not spy upon one another and do not feel envy with the other, and nurse no malice, and nurse no aversion and hostility against one another. And be fellow-brothers and servants of Allah.

ইয়াহইয়া ইবনু ইয়াহইয়া (রহঃ) ..... ইবনু উমার (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত যে, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম সওমে বিসাল করতে নিষেধ করেছেন। এতে সাহাবীগণ বললেন, আপনি তো সওমে বিসাল করে থাকেন। তিনি বললেন, আমার অবস্থা তোমাদের মতো নয়। আমাকে খাওয়ানো ও পান করানো হয়

یحییٰ بن یحییٰ ، نافع ، حضرت ابن عمر رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت ہے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے صوم وصال سے منع فرمایا ہے صحابہ رضوان اللہ عنھم اجمعین نے عرض کیا کہ آپ تو وصال کرتے ہیں آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ میں تمہاری طرح نہیں ہوں کیونکہ مجھے تو کھلایا اور پلایا جاتا ہے ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yahya bin Yahya] ia berkata, saya telah membacakan kepada [Malik] dari [Nafi'] dari [Ibnu Umar] radliallahu 'anhuma bahwa Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam melarang puasa Wishal, maka para sahabat pun berkata, "Bukankah Anda sendiri melakukan puasa Wishal?" Beliau bersabda: "Sesungguhnya saya tidaklah sebagaimana kalian, karena saya diberi makan dan minum (oleh Rabb-ku)

Bize Yahya b. Yahya rivayet etti. (Dediki) Malik'e, Nafi'den dinlediğim, onun da İbni Ömer (Radiyallahû anhûm)'dan naklen rivayet ettiği şu hadîsi okudum: Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) visal orucunu yasak etti, Ashâb: — «Ama sen visal yapıyorsun.» dediler. Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem): — «Ben, sizin gibi değilim, çünkü ben (Rabbim tarafından) doyurulur ve sulanırım.» buyurdular

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) prohibits and warns against some of what could lead to dissension and enmity among Muslims. This includes the following: "Zhann" (false thought): It is a baseless suspicion arising in the heart, and the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) clarified that it is the falsest of speech. "Tahassus" (searching for faults): It is to look for others' flaws through the eye or the ear. "Tajassus" (spying): It is searching for hidden affairs,

and it is mostly used in a negative context. "Hasad" (envy): It is hating to see others enjoying a blessing. "Tadābur" (turning one's back on others): It is turning away from one another and refraining from greeting or visiting one's Muslim brother. "Tabāghud" (harboring hatred): It is malice and aversion such as harming others, frowning, and meeting people in a bad manner. Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said a comprehensive statement that guarantees maintaining good relations between Muslims, saying: "And be, O slaves of Allah, brothers". Brotherhood is a bond that unites people and enhances love and familiarity among them.

What it teaches

  • There is nothing wrong with having false thoughts about those who show signs of it, and the believer must be wise and smart and should not be deceived by evil and wicked people.
  • The warning is about such suspicion that settles in the heart and persists in it. As for suspicions that pass through one’s mind but do not settle therein, then a person is not blamed for it.
  • Prohibiting the causes that lead to discord and estrangement among members of the Muslim community such as spying, envy, and the like.
  • Advising Muslims to treat one another like brothers in terms of advice and mutual affection.
