حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، (قَالَ أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ،) حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَفْضَلُ دِينَارٍ يُنْفِقُهُ الرَّجُلُ دِينَارٌ يُنْفِقُهُ عَلَى عِيَالِهِ وَدِينَارٌ يُنْفِقُهُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى دَابَّتِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَدِينَارٌ يُنْفِقُهُ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ».

قَالَ أَبُو قِلَابَةَ وَبَدَأَ بِالْعِيَالِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو قِلَابَةَ وَأَىُّ رَجُلٍ أَعْظَمُ أَجْرًا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يُنْفِقُ عَلَى عِيَالٍ صِغَارٍ يُعِفُّهُمْ أَوْ يَنْفَعُهُمُ اللَّهُ بِهِ وَيُغْنِيهِمْ

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: The most excellent dinar is one that a person spends on his family, and the dinar which he spends on his animal in Allah’s path, and the dinar he spends on his companions in Allah’s path.

Abu Qilaba (one of the narrators) said: He (the narrator) started with family, and then Abu Qilaba said: Who is the person with greater reward than a person who spends on young members of his family (and thus) preserves (saves them from want) (and by virtue of which) Allah brings profit for them and makes them rich.

মুহাম্মাদ ইবনু হাতিম ও ইবনু রাফি (রহঃ) ..... ইবনু উমার (রাযিঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ মহিলাদেরকে রাতের বেলা মসজিদে যাওয়ার অনুমতি দিও।

আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু উমারের ছেলে ওয়াকিদ তাকে (পিতাকে) বলল, এ সুযোগকে তারা বিপর্যয়ের কারণে পরিণত করবে। রাবী বলেন, এ কথা শুনামাত্র তিনি (ইবনু উমার) ওয়াকিদ এর বুকে আঘাত করলেন এবং বললেন, আমি তোমাকে রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম এর হাদীস (নির্দেশ) বলছি, আর তুমি বলছ- না!

(اعمش کے بجائے ) عمرو ( بن دینار جحمی ) نے مجاہد سے اور انہوں نے حضرت ابن عمر رضی اللہ عنہما سے روایت کی ، انہوں نے کہا : رسول اللہﷺ نے فرمایا : ’’عورتوں کو رات کے وقت مسجدوں کی طرف نکلنے کی اجازت دو ۔

‘ ‘ تو ان کے بیٹے نے ، جس کو واقد کہا جاتا تھا ، کہا : تب وہ اس کو خرابی و بگاڑ بنا لیں گی ۔ ( مجاہد نے ) کہا : ابن عمر رضی اللہ عنہما نے اس کے سینے پر مارا اور کہا : میں تمہیں رسول اللہﷺ سے حدیث سنا رہا ہوں اور تو کہتا ہے : نہیں

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Hatim] dan [Ibnu Rafi'] keduanya berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syababah] telah menceritakan kepadaku [Warqa'] dari [Amru] dari [Mujahid] dari [Ibnu Umar] dia berkata, "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda, 'Berikanlah izin kepada wanita pada malam hari ke masjid.'

Putranya, Waqid berkata kepadanya, 'Kalau dibolehkan, siapa tahu dijadikan kesempatan melakukan kejahatan'." Perawi berkata, "Lalu Ibn Umar memukul dada puteranya atas pembangkangannya.

Dan dia berkata, 'Aku menceritakan kepadamu hadits dari Rasulullah Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam, namun kamu malahan mengatakan tidak

Bize Muhammed b. Hatim ile İbni Râfi' rivayet ettiler. Dedilerki: Bize Şebâbe rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bana Verka, Amr'dan, o da Mücâhid'den, o da İbni Ömer'den naklen rivayet etti. ibn-i Ömer şöyle demiş: Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) : «Kadınlara geceleyin mescidlere gitmek için İzin verin!» buyurdular. Bunun üzerine Abdullah'ın Vâkid ismindeki bir oğlu: «Öyle ise kadınlar bunu bir fitne ve fesâd vesilesi ittihâz ederler.»

dedi. İbni Ömer onun göğsüne vurdu ve: — «Ben sana Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) 'den hadis rivayet ediyorum; sen hayır diyorsun!» dedi

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) clarified some forms of spending and put them in order according to the most obligatory ones in case numerous channels of spending crowd together, starting with the most important and then the next in importance. He stated that the money that brings one the highest reward for spending is the money that a Muslim spends on his dependents, like his wife and children, followed by spending on the mount that is prepared for war in the cause of Allah, then spending on one's friends and companions if they are fighters in the cause of Allah.

What it teaches

  • Arranging the channels of spending in order according to their merit in the way mentioned, and this order should be observed in case of numerous options.
  • Demonstrating that providing for one's dependents takes priority in terms of merit over other forms of spending.
  • Spending on Jihad in the cause of Allah, like preparing equipment and men for Jihad, is from the greatest channels of spending.
  • It was said: "In the cause of Allah" refers to every act of obedience, like Hajj, for instance.
