حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ عَالَ جَارِيَتَيْنِ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَا جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَنَا وَهُوَ». وَضَمَّ أَصَابِعَهُ

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: He, who brought up two girls properly till they grew up, he and I would come (together) (very closely) on the Day of Resurrection, and he interlaced his fingers (for explaining the point of nearness between him and that person).

আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু মাসলামাহ আল কা'নবী (রহঃ) ... উম্মু দারদা (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। আবূ দারদা (রাযিঃ) বলেছেন যে, প্রচণ্ড গরমের দিনে কোন এক সফরে আমরা রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর সাথে ছিলাম। গরম এতো প্রচণ্ড ছিল যে, লোকেরা নিজ নিজ হাত মাথার উপরে রেখে দিয়েছিল। আর রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম ও 'আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু রওয়াহাহ (রাযিঃ) ব্যতীত আমাদের মাঝে কেউই সওম পালনকারী ছিল না। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ২৪৯৮, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

عبداللہ بن مسلمۃ ، ہشام بن سعید ، عثمان ابن حیان ، دمشقی ، حضرت ام درداء رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت ہے کہ حضرت ابو درداء رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ فرماتے ہیں کہ ہم نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے ساتھ سخت گرمیوں کے دنوں میں بعض سفروں میں دیکھاکہ لوگ سخت گرمی کی وجہ سے اپنے ہاتھوں کو اپنے سروں پر رکھ لیتے ہیں اور ہم میں سے سوائے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اور عبداللہ بن رواحۃ کے کوئی بھی روزہ دار نہیں تھا ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Maslamah Al Qa'nabi] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hisyam bin Sa'd] dari [Utsman bin Hayyan Ad Dimasyqi] dari [Ummu Darda`] ia berkata, [Abu Darda`] berkata; "Kami telah ikut serta bersama Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam dalam suatu perjalan yang beliau lakukan. Saat itu, panas terik matahari begitu menyengat hingga seseorang meletakkan tangannya di atas kepala karena begitu panasnya.

Dan di antara kami tidak ada yang berpuasa kecuali Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam dan Abdullah bin Rawahah

Bize Abdullah b. Meslemete'l-Ka'nebî rivayet etti. (Dediki) Bize Hişâm b. Sa'd, Osman b. Hayyân Ed-Dimaşki'den, o da Ünımü Derdâ'dan naklen rivayet eyledi, şunları söylemiş: «Ebu'd-Derdâ (Dediki) Vallahi Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'in seferlerinden birinde pek sıcak bir günde onunla beraber bulunduğumuzu hatırlarım, öyle ki: İnsan sıcağın şiddetinden elini başına koyardı. (O gün Resûlullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) ile Abdullah b. Revaha'dan başka oruç tutanımız yoktu.»

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that one who is granted two daughters, or two sisters, and he takes care of them by providing for them, raising them, directing them to goodness, and warning them against evil and the like until they grow up and reach puberty, he will come on the Day of Judgment along with the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) like these two, and he joined his index and middle fingers.

What it teaches

  • The great reward for the one who looks after his daughters by providing for them and raising them until they get married or reach puberty, and the same applies to his sisters.
  • The reward for looking after daughters is greater than that of looking after sons, as nothing similar to this was mentioned about them. This is because providing for daughters and taking care of their affairs is greater than taking care of the sons' affairs since they are ‘Awrah (should be covered) and cannot manage their affairs or act like boys. Moreover, a father does not aspire to seek strength in his daughters against enemies, as is the case with his sons, or to depend on them to keep his name alive and the continuity of his progeny. Hence, one who provides for his daughters needs to be patient, sincere, and have a good intention, and this is why the reward is great, as he will be a companion of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) on the Day of Judgment.
  • Signs of puberty for a woman: reaching the age of fifteen, menstruating even before the age of fifteen, having pubic hair, which is the coarse hair that grows around the genitals, or having a nocturnal emission, which is the discharge of semen during sleep.
  • Al-Qurtubi said: By reaching puberty, he means reaching a state of independence, and in the case of women, they reach this state only when their husbands consummate the marriage with them. So, he is not referring here to their reaching puberty by menstruating and becoming religiously accountable, since a girl can get married before this and becomes in no need of a caretaker other than the husband, or she may menstruate without being independent in any of her interests, and if she is left alone, she might be lost and her affairs might be ruined. Rather, in this case she is even more entitled to support and protection and needs her caretaker to provide her with full protection until she gets married. Based on this meaning, our scholars stated that a girl's father is not exempted from providing for her when she reaches puberty but only when her husband consummates the marriage with her.
