حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، (وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَرَ) قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، مَوْلَى آلِ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ جُوَيْرِيَةَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِهَا بُكْرَةً حِينَ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ وَهِيَ فِي مَسْجِدِهَا ثُمَّ رَجَعَ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَضْحَى وَهِيَ جَالِسَةٌ فَقَالَ: «مَا زِلْتِ عَلَى الْحَالِ الَّتِي فَارَقْتُكِ عَلَيْهَا».

قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَقَدْ قُلْتُ بَعْدَكِ أَرْبَعَ كَلِمَاتٍ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ لَوْ وُزِنَتْ بِمَا قُلْتِ مُنْذُ الْيَوْمِ لَوَزَنَتْهُنَّ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ وَرِضَا نَفْسِهِ وَزِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ وَمِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) came out from (her apartment) in the morning as she was busy in observing her dawn prayer in her place of worship. He came back in the forenoon and she was still sitting there.

He (the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) said to her: You have been in the same seat since I left you. She said: Yes. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: I recited four words three times after I left you and if these are to be weighed against what you have recited since morning these would outweigh them and (these words) are: “ Hallowed be Allah and praise is due to Him according to the number of His creation and according to the pleasure of His Self and according to the weight of His Throne and according to the ink (used in recording) words (for His Praise).”

আবূ বাকর ইবনু আবূ শায়বাহ ও ইবনু নুমায়র (রহঃ) ..... উসমান ইবনু হাকীম আল আনসারী (রহঃ) বলেন, আমি রজব মাসের সিয়াম (রোজা/রোযা) সম্পর্কে সাঈদ ইবনু জুবায়র কে জিজ্ঞেস করলাম।

তিনি বললেন, আমি ইবনু আব্বাস (রাযিঃ) কে বলতে শুনেছি, রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম একাধারে সিয়াম (রোজা/রোযা) পালন করতে থাকতেন যাতে আমরা বলতাম, তিনি হয়ত আর সিয়াম (রোজা/রোযা) ছাড়বেন না। আবার তিনি এমনভাবে ক্রমাগত সিয়াম (রোজা/রোযা) না রেখে থাকতেন যাতে আমরা বলতাম, তিনি বুঝি আর (এ মাসে) সিয়াম (রোজা/রোযা) পালন করবেন না।

عبداللہ بن نمیر نے کہا : ہمیں عثمان بن حکیم نے حدیث سنائی ، کہا : میں نے سعید بن جبیر سے رجب میں روزہ رکھنے کے بارے میں سوال کیا ، اور ہم ان دنوں رجب میں ہی تھے ، تو انھوں نے کہا : میں نے ابن عباس رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ کو یہ فرماتے ہوئے سنا : رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم روزے رکھتے حتیٰ کہ ہم کہتے : آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم روزے ترک نہیں کریں گے اور آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم روزے ترک کرتے حتیٰ کہ ہم کہتے : آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم روزے نہیں رکھیں گے ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Bakr bin Abu Syaibah] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Numair] -dalam riwayat lain- Dan Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Numair] telah menceritakan kepada kami [bapakku] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Utsman bin Hakim Al Anshari] ia berkata; Saya bertanya kepada [Sa'id bin Jubair] mengenai puasa Rajab, dan saat itu kami berada di bulan.

Maka ia pun menjawab; Saya telah mendengar [Ibnu Abbas] radliallahu 'anhuma berkata; Dulu Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pernah berpuasa hingga kami berkata berkata bahwa beliau tidak akan berbuka.

Dan beliau juga pernah berbuka hingga kami berkata bahwa beliau tidak akan puasa." Dan telah meceritakannya kepadaku [Ali bin Hujr] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ali bin Mushir] -dalam riwayat lain- Dan telah menceritakan kepadaku [Ibrahim bin Musa] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Isa bin Yunus] keduanya dari [Utsman bin Hakim] di dalama isnad ini, yakni dengan hadits semisalnya

Bize Ebû Bekir b. Ebî Şeybe rivayet etti. (Dediki) Bize Abdullah b. Numeyr rivayet etti. Bize İbni Numeyr de rivayet etti. (Dediki) Bize babam rivayet etti. (Dediki) Bize Osman b. Hâkim El-Ensâri rivayet etti. (Dediki) Saîd b. Cübeyr'e Receb orucunu sordum «Biz o zaman Receb ayında bulunuyorduk, şu cevâbı verdi : «Ben, İbni Abbâs (Radiyallahû anhûma)'yi şunları söylerken işittim : — Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) (bazen) biz: Bu artık orucu bırakmaz, deyinceye kadar oruç tutar, bazen de: bu artık oruç tutınaz, deyinceye kadar orucu terkederdi.»

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) left the house of his wife Juwayriyah, Mother of the Believers, (may Allah be pleased with her) early in the morning after performing the Fajr prayer, while she was sitting in her place of prayer. He returned after the sun had passed its zenith, during the time of Duha, and she was still sitting in the same spot.

He then said: Are you still in the state I left you in? She replied: Yes. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: I said four words after I had left you, and I repeated them three times. If they were to be weighed in terms of reward against all that you have been saying during the time you have been sitting here, they would outweigh them.

(Glory be to Allah) and may He be Exalted above all imperfections (and all praise is due to Him). For to Him belongs the beautiful praise for having guided to that (by the number of His creation) whom none can count but Allah, (by His own pleasure) as much as pleases Him with those of His slaves with whom Allah is pleased—something that cannot be encompassed, (by the weight of His Throne), which is the greatest and heaviest of the whole creation, (and by the ink of His words) and the words of Allah are countless and endless.

This encompasses and includes the three aspects, as the ink of His words, exalted is He, is limitless in its extent, description, and number. However, the intent here is to emphasize the great abundance. First, a countable measure is mentioned—the number of His creations. Then, it progresses to something even greater, expressed as "His own pleasure."

Next is the weight of the greatest creation, the Throne. The first relates to number and quantity, the second to description and quality, and the third to greatness and weight.

What it teaches

  • Manifesting the merit of these words and encouraging their saying.
  • The forms of Dhikr (remembrance of Allah) vary in their merit as some forms are preferable to others.
  • An-Nawawi commented on his statement (Glory be to Allah and all praise is due to Him, by the ink of His words), saying: The intent here is to emphasize the abundance. First, it mentions what can be contained by a large count—the number of creations—then the weight of the Throne. It then ascends to something even greater, expressed by this phrase, meaning something that cannot be counted, just as His words cannot be counted.
  • Ibn al-Qayyim said: What arises in the heart of the one who remembers Allah saying: (Glory be to Allah and all praise is due to Him, by the number of His creation...)—of awareness, exaltation, and glorification of Allah to this specified extent—is greater than what arises in the heart of the one who simply says: "Glory be to Allah" alone.
  • Guidance to comprehensive phrases that contain few words but bring immense virtue and reward.
