أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْحَوْرَاءِ السَّعْدِيِّ

قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ رضى الله عنهما مَا حَفِظْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ حَفِظْتُ مِنْهُ «دَعْ مَا يَرِيبُكَ إِلَى مَا لَا يَرِيبُكَ»

“I said to Al-Hasan ibn Ali, may Allah be pleased with him: ‘What did you memorize from the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)?’ He said: I memorized from him: ‘Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt.’”

মুহাম্মদ ইব্‌ন আবান (রহঃ) ... আবুল হাওরা সাদী (রহঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, হাসান ইব্‌ন আলী (রাঃ)-এর নিকট জিজ্ঞাসা করলাম, আপনি রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম থেকে কোন কথা স্মরণ রেখেছেন? তিনি বললেনঃ আমি তার থেকে স্মরণ রেখেছি, যা তোমাকে সন্দেহে নিপতিত করে, তা পরিত্যাগ করবে। আর যাতে কোন সন্দেহ নেই তা-ই করবে।

Telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Aban] ia berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Idris] ia berkata; telah memberitakan kepada kami [Syu'bah] dari [Buraid bin Abu Maryam] dari [Abu Al Haura As Sa'di] ia berkata, "Aku berkata kepada? [Al Hasan bin Ali]? radliallahu 'anhuma, "Apa yang engkau hafal dari Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam?" ia menjawab, "Aku menghafal dari beliau: "Tinggalkanlah apa yang meragukan kamu dan lakukan apa yang tidak meragukan kamu

Sunan an-Nasa'i 5711, Book 51, The Book of Drinks, Hadith 173. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) commanded that one should leave whatever words or deeds he has doubts about, whether they are prohibited or not, unlawful or lawful, and choose instead what is not doubtful—things whose goodness and lawfulness he is certain about, as such things bring tranquility and comfort to the heart, whereas whatever is doubtful sows anxiety and confusion in the heart.

What it teaches

  • A Muslim should set up his affairs upon certainty and leave whatever is doubtful and should be insightful regarding his religion.
  • The prohibition of falling into suspicious matters.
  • If you are seeking tranquility and comfort, then abandon what is doubtful and leave it aside.
  • Allah is Merciful to His slaves, as He has commanded them with what brings comfort to the soul and mind and has forbidden them from what causes anxiety and confusion.
