حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِيُّ، وَقَطَنُ بْنُ نُسَيْرٍ، (وَاللَّفْظُ لِيَحْيَى) أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ إِيَاسٍ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ الأُسَيِّدِيِّ

قَالَ (وَكَانَ مِنْ كُتَّابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ) لَقِيَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ: كَيْفَ أَنْتَ يَا حَنْظَلَةُ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَافَقَ حَنْظَلَةُ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مَا تَقُولُ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَكُونُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُذَكِّرُنَا بِالنَّارِ وَالْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى كَأَنَّا رَأْىَ عَيْنٍ فَإِذَا خَرَجْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَافَسْنَا الأَزْوَاجَ وَالأَوْلَادَ وَالضَّيْعَاتِ فَنَسِينَا كَثِيرًا قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّا لَنَلْقَى مِثْلَ هَذَا.

فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُلْتُ نَافَقَ حَنْظَلَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَمَا ذَاكَ». قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَكُونُ عِنْدَكَ تُذَكِّرُنَا بِالنَّارِ وَالْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى كَأَنَّا رَأْىَ عَيْنٍ فَإِذَا خَرَجْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ عَافَسْنَا الأَزْوَاجَ وَالأَوْلَادَ وَالضَّيْعَاتِ نَسِينَا كَثِيرًا.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنْ لَوْ تَدُومُونَ عَلَى مَا تَكُونُونَ عِنْدِي وَفِي الذِّكْرِ لَصَافَحَتْكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عَلَى فُرُشِكُمْ وَفِي طُرُقِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ يَا حَنْظَلَةُ سَاعَةً وَسَاعَةً». ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ

Hanzala Usayyidi, who was amongst the scribes of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). reported: I met Abu Bakr. He said: Who are you? He (Hanzala) said: Hanzala has turned to be a hypocrite.

He (Abu Bakr) said: Hallowed be Allah, what are you saying? Thereupon he said: I say that when we are in the company of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) we ponder over Hell-Fire and Paradise as if we are seeing them with our very eyes and when we are away from the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) we attend to our wives, our children, our business; most of these things (pertaining to After-life) slip out of our minds.

Abu Bakr said: By Allah, I also experience the same. So I and Abu Bakr went to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and said to him: The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), Hanzala has turned to be a hypocrite. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: What has happened to you?

I said: The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), when we are in your company, we are reminded of Hell-Fire and Paradise as if we are seeing them with our own eyes, but whenever we go away from you and attend to our wives, children and business, much of these things go out of our minds. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, if your state of mind remains the same as it is in my presence and you are always busy in remembrance (of Allah), the Angels will shake hands with you in your beds and in your paths but, Hanzala, time should be devoted (to the worldly affairs) and time (should be devoted to prayer and meditation). He (the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) said this thrice.

যুহায়র ইবনু হারব (রহঃ) ..... আবূ কতাদাহ (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর কাছে সোমবারের সওম সম্পর্কে জিজ্ঞেস করা হলে তিনি বলেন, ঐদিন আমি জন্মলাভ করেছি এবং ঐদিন আমার উপর (কুরআন) নাযিল হয়েছে।

ہمیں مہدی بن میمون نے حدیث سنائی ، انھوں نے غیلان سے باقی ماندہ سابقہ سند کے ساتھ ابو قتادہ انصاری رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت کی کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے سوموار کے روزے کے بار ے میں سوال کیا گیا تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : " میں اسی دن پیدا ہوا اور اسی دن مجھ پر ( قرآن ) نازل کیا گیا ۔

Dan telah menceritakan kepadaku [Zuhair bin Harb] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdurrahman bin Mahdi] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Mahdi bin Maimun] dari [Ghailan] dari [Abdullah bin Ma'bad Az Zimani] dari [Abu Qatadah Al Anshari] radliallahu 'anhu, bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pernah ditanya mengenai puasa pada hari Senin, maka beliau pun menjawab: "Di hari itulah saya dilahirkan, dan pada hari itu pula, wahyu diturunkan atasku

Bana Zuheyr b. Harb rivayet etti. (Dediki) : Bize Abdurrahman b. Mehdî rivayet etti. (Dediki) Bize Mehdi b. Meymun Gaylân'dan, o da Abdullah b. Ma'bed-i Zimnanî'den, o da Ebû Katâdete'l-Ensâri (Radiyallahû anh)'dan naklen rivayet eyledi ki Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'e pazartesi günü oruç tutmanın hükmü sorulmuş, o da: — «Ben, o gün doğdum, bana vahiy dahî o gün indirildi.» buyurmuşlar

What it means

Hanzhalah told Abu Bakr As-Siddīq that his spiritual state when he was with the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was different from his state otherwise. When they (the Companions) were with the Prophet, they remembered Allah and the Hereafter, but when they became engaged with their children, wives, and worldly affairs, they had a different state of mind.

So Hanzhalah feared that that was hypocrisy. Indeed, hypocrisy is to display a state other than what is on the inside. So when they told the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) of that, he told them that if they continued to be in the state they felt while they were with him, the angels would greet them by shaking their hands in whichever state they were in. However, moderation is required; an hour for the Lord and an hour for one's family and life.
