وَحَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَدَ نَاسًا فِي بَعْضِ الصَّلَوَاتِ فَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ آمُرَ رَجُلاً يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ ثُمَّ أُخَالِفَ إِلَى رِجَالٍ يَتَخَلَّفُونَ عَنْهَا فَآمُرَ بِهِمْ فَيُحَرِّقُوا عَلَيْهِمْ بِحُزَمِ الْحَطَبِ بُيُوتَهُمْ وَلَوْ عَلِمَ أَحَدُهُمْ أَنَّهُ يَجِدُ عَظْمًا سَمِينًا لَشَهِدَهَا». يَعْنِي صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) found some people absenting from certain prayers and he said: I intend that I order (a) person to lead people in prayer, and then go to the persons who do not join the (congregational prayer) and then order their houses to be burnt by the bundles of fuel. If one amongst them were to know that he would find a fat fleshy bone he would attend the night prayer.

যুহায়র ইবনু হারব (রহঃ) ..... আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেন, তোমাদের কারো পাত্রে যখন কুকুরে মুখ লাগিয়ে পান করবে তখন (সে পাত্র পবিত্র করার পদ্ধতি হল) সাতবার তা ধুয়ে ফেলা। তবে প্রথমবার মাটি দিয়ে ঘষে পরিষ্কার করতে হবে।

محمد بن سیرین نے حضرت ابو ہریرہ ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ سے روایت کی کہ رسول اللہ ﷺ نے فرمایا : ’’جب تمہارے برتن میں سے کتا پی لے تو اس کی طہارت ( پاک ہونا ) یہ ہے کہ اسے سات دفعہ دھوئے ، پہلی دفعہ مٹی کے ساتھ دھوئے ۔ ‘ ‘

Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Zuhair bin Harb] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ismail bin Ibrahim] dari [Hisyam bin Hassan] dari [Muhammad bin Sirin] dari [Abu Hurairah] dia berkata, "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Sucinya bejana kalian apabila ia dijilat oleh anjing adalah dengan mencucinya tujuh kali, yang pertama dengan tanah

Bize Züheyr b. Harb da rivayet etti. (Dedi ki): Bize îsmail b. İbrahim, Hişam b. Hassan'dan, o da Muhammed b. Sîrîn'den o da Ebu Hureyre'den naklen rivayet etti. Şöyle demiş. Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem): "Köpek birinizin kabına dilini sokup yalayacak olursa, o kabın temizlenmesi birincileri toprak ile olmak üzere yedi defa onu yıkamasıdır" buyurdu. Yalnız Müslim rivayet etmiştir; Tuhfetu'l-Eşraf

Sahih Muslim 651a, Book 5, The Book of Mosques and Places of Prayer, Hadith 314. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) tells about the hypocrites and their laziness when it comes to attending the prayer, especially the 'Ishā' and Fajr prayers, and that if they were to know the amount of reward for attending them along with the Muslim congregation, they would come to it even if they had to crawl like infants upon their hands and knees. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) thought of ordering the prayer to be commenced and appointing someone to lead the people in prayer instead of him.

Then he would go, along with people carrying firewood, to men who were not attending the congregational prayer and burn their houses with fire, given the gravity of their sin in doing so. Yet, he did not do that because the houses contained women, innocent children, and others with valid excuses for not attending the prayer - for they committed no sin.

What it teaches

  • The graveness of the failure to attend the congregational prayer in the mosque.
  • The hypocrites would seek nothing out of their worship but show-off and reputation, for they would only attend prayers when people could see them.
  • The reward for offering the ‘Ishā’ and Fajr prayers in the congregation is great, and they are worthy of being attended even if people have to crawl.
  • Regularly attending the ‘Ishā’ and Fajr prayers protects from hypocrisy, and the failure to participate in them is one of the traits of the hypocrites.
