حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ، وَابْنُ حُجْرٍ جَمِيعًا عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، (قَالَ ابْنُ أَيُّوبَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ،) أَخْبَرَنِي سَعْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ كَثِيرِ بْنِ أَفْلَحَ، عَنِ ابْنِ سَفِينَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ تُصِيبُهُ مُصِيبَةٌ فَيَقُولُ: مَا أَمَرَهُ اللَّهُ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ اللَّهُمَّ أْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي وَأَخْلِفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا. إِلاَّ أَخْلَفَ اللَّهُ لَهُ خَيْرًا مِنْهَا».

قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ قُلْتُ أَىُّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ أَوَّلُ بَيْتٍ هَاجَرَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. ثُمَّ إِنِّي قُلْتُهَا فَأَخْلَفَ اللَّهُ لِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

قَالَتْ أَرْسَلَ إِلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَاطِبَ بْنَ أَبِي بَلْتَعَةَ يَخْطُبُنِي لَهُ فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ لِي بِنْتًا وَأَنَا غَيُورٌ.

فَقَالَ: «أَمَّا ابْنَتُهَا فَنَدْعُو اللَّهَ أَنْ يُغْنِيَهَا عَنْهَا وَأَدْعُو اللَّهَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ بِالْغَيْرَةِ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: If any Muslim who suffers some calamity says, what Allah has commanded him, We belong to Allah and to Him shall we return; O Allah, reward me for my affliction and give me something better than it in exchange for it, Allah will give him something better than it in exchange.

When Abu Salamah died she said: What Muslim is better than Abu Salamah whose family was the first to emigrate to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).

I then said the words, and Allah gave me God’s Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) in exchange. She said: The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) sent Hatib ibn Abu Baltaa to deliver me the message of marriage with him.

I said to him: I have a daughter (as my dependant) and I am of jealous temperament. He (the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) said: So far as her daughter is concerned, we would supplicate Allah, that He may free her (of her responsibility) and I would also supplicate Allah to do away with (her) jealous (temperament).

আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু মাসলামাহ আল কানবী (রহঃ) ..... আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাযিঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ তোমাদের কেউ যখন "আ-মীন' বলে এবং আকাশমণ্ডলীর মালায়িকারাও (ফেরেশতারাও) "আ-মীন' বলে। উভয়ের "আ-মীন যদি একই সাথে মিলে যায়, তবে আল্লাহ তার আগের গুনাহ মাফ করে দিবেন।

حضرت ابو ہریرہ ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ کے ایک اور شاگرد اعرج کے حوالے سے روایت ہے کہ ابو ہریرہ ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ نے کہا : رسول اللہﷺ نے فرمایا : ’’ جب تم میں سے ایک شخص آمین کہے اور فرشتے آسمان میں آمین کہیں اور آمین دوسری کے موافق ہو جائے تو اس شخص کے پچھلے گناہ معاف کر دیے جاتے ہیں

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Maslamah al-Qa'nabi] telah menceritakan kepada kami [al-Mughirah] dari [Abu az-Zinad] dari [al-'A'raj] dari [Abu Hurairah ra] dia berkata, "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda, "Apabila salah seorang dari kalian mengucapkan, 'Amin' sedangkan malaikat di langit mengucapkan, 'Amin' lalu satu dengan lainnya bersesuaian, niscaya dosanya yang telah lalu diampuni."

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Rafi'] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdurrazzaq] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ma'mar] dari [Hammam bin Munabbih] dari [Abu Hurairah ra] dari Nabi Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam dengan hadits semisalnya

Bize AbdiIlah b. Meslemet'el-Ka'nebî rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Mugîra, Ebu'z-Zinâd'dan, o da A'rac'den, o da Ebu Hureyre'den naklen rivayet etti. Şöyle demiş: Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) : «Biriniz Âmin dediği vakit gökteki melekler de Amin der ve her ikisi birbirine tesadüf ederse o kimsenin geçmiş günâhları affolunur» buyurdular

What it means

’Umm Salamah, Mother of the Believers, (may Allah be pleased with her) mentioned that she heard the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) once saying: No Muslim is afflicted with a calamity and then says what Allah has recommended for him to say: {We belong to Allah, and to Him we will return} [Surat al-Baqarah: 156], (O Allah, reward me) and grant me the reward for my patience (in my calamity), and compensate me (and replace it for me) with (something better); except that Allah replaces it for him with something better.

She said: When Abu Salamah passed away, I said: Who among the Muslims could be better than Abu Salamah, the first household to migrate to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him)?

Then I said it with the support of Allah, and Allah replaced him for me with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), who is better than Abu Salamah.

What it teaches

  • The command to be patient at times of calamity and not to be discontent.
  • Turning to Allah in supplication during adversities, for He alone provides compensation.
  • It is necessary for the believer to comply with the command of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) even if the wisdom behind the command is not clear to him.
  • All goodness lies in the believer's compliance with the Prophet's command.
