حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، (قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ،) عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الْفِطْرَةُ خَمْسٌ (أَوْ خَمْسٌ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ) الْخِتَانُ وَالاِسْتِحْدَادُ وَتَقْلِيمُ الأَظْفَارِ وَنَتْفُ الإِبْطِ وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ»

উসমান ইবনু আবূ শাইবাহ ও ইসহাক ইবনু ইবরাহীম (রহঃ) ... আবদুল্লাহ (রাযিঃ) বলেন, আমি রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম এর কাছে জিজ্ঞেস করলাম, আল্লাহর নিকট সর্বাপেক্ষা বড় গুনাহ কোনটি?

তিনি বললেন, আল্লাহর সাথে প্রতিদ্বন্দ্বী স্থির করা অথচ তিনি তোমাকে সৃষ্টি করেছেন। আমি বললাম, এটা তো বড় গুনাহ বটে। এরপর কোনটি? তিনি বললেন, আপন সন্তানকে এ আশঙ্কায় হত্যা করা যে, সে তোমার আহারের সঙ্গী হবে।

আমি জিজ্ঞেস করলাম, তারপর কোনটি? তিনি বললেন, তোমার প্রতিবেশীর স্ত্রীর সাথে ব্যভিচারে লিপ্ত হওয়া।'

منصور نے ابو وائل سے ، انہوں نے عمروبن شرحبیل سےاور انہوں نے حضرت عبد اللہ بن مسعود ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ سے روایت کی ، انہوں نے کہا : میں نے رسول اللہ ﷺ سے پوچھا : ’’اللہ کے ہاں سب سے بڑا گناہ کون سا ہے ؟ آپ نے فرمایا : ’’ یہ کہ تم اللہ کے ساتھ کسی کو شریک بناؤ جبکہ تمہیں اسی ( اللہ ) نے پیدا کیا ہے ۔

‘ ‘ میں نے عرض کی : واقعی یہ بہت بڑا ( گناہ ) ہے ، کہا : میں نے پوچھا : پھر کون سا ؟ فرمایا : ’’یہ کہ تم اس ڈر سے اپنے بچے کو قتل کرو کہ وہ تمہارے ساتھ کھائے گا ۔

‘ ‘ کہا : میں نے پوچھا : پھر کون سا ؟ فرمایا : ’’ پھر یہ کہ اپنے پڑوسی کی بیوی کے ساتھ زنا کرو ۔ ‘ ‘

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Utsman bin Abu Syaibah] dan [Ishaq bin Ibrahim] berkata [Ishaq] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Jarir], dan [Utsman] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Jarir] dari [Manshur] dari [Abu Wail] dari [Amru bin Syurahbil] dari [Abdullah] dia berkata, "Aku bertanya Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, "Dosa apakah yang paling besar di sisi Allah?"

Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam menjawab: "Kamu membuat tandingan bagi Allah (syirik), sedangkan Dialah yang menciptakanmu." Aku berkata, "Sesungguhnya dosa demikian memang besar. Kemudian apa lagi?"

Beliau bersabda: "Kemudian kamu membunuh anakmu karena khawatir dia makan bersamamu." Aku bertanya lagi, "Kemudian apa lagi?" Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam. bersabda: "Kamu berzina dengan isteri tetanggamu

Bize Osman b. Ebi Şeybe ve İshak b. İbrahim tahdis etti. İshak: Bize Cerir haber verdi, dedi. Osman da: Bize Cerir tahdis etti, dedi. O Mansur'dan, o Ebu Vail'den, o Amr b. Şurahbil'den, o Abdullah'tan şöyle dediğini nakletti: Rasulullah (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem)'e: Allah nezdinde en büyük günah hangisidir, dedim.

O: Seni yaratan Allah olduğu halde ona eş koşmandır" buyurdu. Ona: Şüphesiz ki o pek büyüktür, dedim sonra hangisidir diye ekledim. Şöyle buyurdu: "Seninle beraber yemek yer korkusuyla çocuğunu öldürmendir." Sonra hangisidir dedim. Allah Rasulü: "Sonra da komşunun helali ile zina etmendir" buyurdu.

Sahih Muslim 257a, Book 2, The Book of Purification, Hadith 64. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned five acts that belong to the religion of Islam and the practices of the messengers. First: Circumcision: This is to cut the foreskin of the glans of the male organ and to cut the tip of a female's clitoris. Second: Shaving the pubes. This is to cut the pubic hair, which grows around the sex organs. Third: trimming the mustache.

This is to trim the hair that grows on a man's upper lip in a way that makes the lip visible. Fourth: Clipping the nails. Fifth: Plucking the armpit hair.

What it teaches

  • The messengers' practices that Allah likes, is pleased with, and enjoins lead to perfection, purity, and beauty.
  • The legitimacy of observing these acts and not overlooking them.
  • These acts serve religious and worldly benefits, such as: improving appearance, cleaning the body, being heedful about purification, differing from the disbelievers, and complying with the commands of Allah.
  • Other Hadīths mention more acts of the Fitrah other than these five, like letting the beard grow and using the tooth-stick.
