حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْلَمَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا نَضْرَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا حُلْوَةٌ خَضِرَةٌ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ مُسْتَخْلِفُكُمْ فِيهَا فَيَنْظُرُ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ فَاتَّقُوا الدُّنْيَا وَاتَّقُوا النِّسَاءَ فَإِنَّ أَوَّلَ فِتْنَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَتْ فِي النِّسَاءِ». وَفِي حَدِيثِ ابْنِ بَشَّارٍ «لِيَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: The world is sweet and green (alluring) and verily Allah is going to install you as vicegerent in it in order to see how you act. So avoid the allurement of women: verily, the first trial for the people of Israil was caused by women. And in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Ibn Bashshar the words are: “ So that He should see how you act.”

আবূ বাকর ইবনু আবূ শায়বাহ ও মুহাম্মাদ ইবনুল মুসান্না (রহিমাহুমাল্লাহ) ..... 'আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু আমর (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত যে, রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম তাকে বলেন, তুমি একদিন সওম পালন করলে পরের দিনের সাওয়াব পাবে।

তিনি বলেন, আমি আরও অধিক রাখতে সক্ষম। তিনি বললেন, তুমি দু'দিন সওম পালন কর। তাহলে অবশিষ্ট দিনগুলোর সাওয়াব পাবে। তিনি বললেন, আমি আরও অধিক সওম পালন করতে সক্ষম।

তিনি বললেন, তুমি তিনদিন সওম পালন কর তাহলে অবশিষ্ট দিনগুলোরও সাওয়াব পাবে। তিনি বললেন, আমি আরও অধিক রাখতে সক্ষম। তিনি বললেন, তুমি চারদিন সওম পালন কর, তাহলে অবশিষ্ট দিনগুলোরও সাওয়াব লাভ করবে।

তিনি বললেন, আমি আরও অধিক রাখতে সক্ষম। তিনি বললেন, তুমি দাউদ (আঃ) এর সওম পালন কর যা আল্লাহর কাছে সর্বোত্তম সওম। তিনি পর্যায়ক্রমে একদিন সওম পালন করতেন এবং পরের দিন বাদ দিতেন।

زیاد بن فیاض سے روایت ہے ، کہا : میں نے ابو عیاض سے سنا ، انھوں نے حضرت عبداللہ بن عمر و رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے رویت کی کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے انھیں فرمایا : " ایک دن کاروزہ رکھو اور تمھارے لئے ان ( دنوں ) کا اجر ہے جوباقی ہیں ۔

کہا : میں اس سےزیادہ طاقت رکھتا ہوں ۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : " دودن روزے رکھو اور تمہارے لئے ان ( دنوں ) کا اجر ہے جو باقی ہیں ۔

کہا : میں اس سےزیادہ طاقت رکھتا ہوں ۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : " تین دن روزے رکھو اور تمہارے لئے ان ( دنوں ) کا اجر ہے جو باقی ہیں ۔

کہا : میں اس سےزیادہ طاقت رکھتا ہوں ۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : " چاردن روزے رکھو اور تمہارے لئے ان ( دنوں ) کا اجر ہے جو باقی ہیں ۔

کہا : میں اس سےزیادہ طاقت رکھتا ہوں ۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : " اللہ کے نزدیک سب سے زیادہ فضیلت والے روزے ، یعنی داود علیہ السلام کے روزے کی طرح ( روزے ) رکھو ، وہ ایک دن روزہ رکھتے تھے اور ایک دن چھوڑ دیتے تھے ۔

Sahih Muslim 2742, Book 49, The Book of Heart-Melting Traditions, Hadith 12. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) clarifies that this worldly life has a sweet taste and looks green and alluring. Hence, man gets deceived by this worldly life, indulges in its pleasures, and makes it his biggest concern. Allah Almighty has made us successors of one another in this worldly life to see how we behave; and whether we obey or disobey Him.

Then he said: Beware of being deceived by the worldly pleasures and adornment that will cause you to abandon Allah's commands and fall into His prohibitions. Among the gravest worldly trials that one must beware of is women's temptation, which was the first temptation the children of Israel fell into.

What it teaches

  • It encourages adherence to piety without being preoccupied with worldly pleasures and adornment.
  • Warning against being tempted by women either through gazing, allowing them to mingle with foreign men, etc.
  • Women's temptation is among the gravest worldly trials.
  • Taking lessons from the previous nations, such as what happened to the Children of Israel could happen to others as well.
  • In the case of the wife, a woman's temptation might be by asking her husband what he cannot afford, thus, distracting him from seeking religious affairs and urging him to exert himself in seeking this world. As for the foreign woman, her temptation lies in alluring men and making them deviate from the truth when she goes out and mixes with them, particularly if she is not wearing Hijāb and is exposing her adornment. This might lead to falling into various degrees of adultery. So, the believer must hold onto Allah and ask Him to save him from their temptation.
