حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَرَّادٍ الأَشْعَرِيُّ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «تَعَاهَدُوا هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَهُوَ أَشَدُّ تَفَلُّتًا مِنَ الإِبِلِ فِي عُقُلِهَا». وَلَفْظُ الْحَدِيثِ لاِبْنِ بَرَّادٍ

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Keep refreshing your knowledge of the Qur’an, for I swear by Him in Whose Hand is the life of Muhammad that it is more liable to escape than camels which are hobbled.

যুহায়র ইবনু হারব (রহঃ) ..... ইবনু আব্বাস (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম একবার হাড়ে লাগানো গোশত অথবা গোশত খেলেন। তারপর সালাত আদায় করলেন; কিন্তু ওযু করলেন না এবং পানিও স্পর্শ করলেন না।

۔ محمد بن عمرو بن عطاء اور علی بن عبد اللہ بن عباس نے حضرت ابن عباس ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ سے روایت کی کہ نبیﷺ نے گوشت والی ہڈی یا کچھ گوشت کھایا ، پھر نماز پڑھی اور وضو نہیں کیا یا پانی کو نہیں چھوا

Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Zuhair bin Harb] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yahya bin Sa'id] dari [Hisyam bin Urwah] telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Wahab bin Kaisan] dari [Muhammad bin Amru bin 'Atha'] dari [Ibnu Abbas] --lewat jalur periwayatan lain--, dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [az-Zuhri] dari [Ali bin Abdullah bin Abbas] dari [Ibnu Abbas] --lewat jalur periwayatan lain--, dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Ali] dari [bapaknya] dari [Ibnu Abbas] bahwa Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam makan pangkal atau daging, kemudian beliau shalat, dan tanpa berwudhu, dan beliau juga tidak menyentuh air

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the Companions to recite the Qur'an regularly and not to forget it after they had learned it by heart. He emphasized this fact by swearing that the Qur'an slips away from one's memory faster than camels tied with ropes in the middle of their foreleg. If their shepherd pays attention to them, they remain with him, and if he releases them, they go away and will be lost.

What it teaches

  • If a memorizer of the Qur’an regularly recites it time and again, it remains in his heart; otherwise, it goes away from him and will be forgotten.
  • Among the benefits of regular recitation of the Qur’an is obtaining reward and elevation of ranks on the Day of Judgment.
