حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ أَبِي النَّجُودِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ

قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَأَصْبَحْتُ يَوْمًا قَرِيبًا مِنْهُ وَنَحْنُ نَسِيرُ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ وَيُبَاعِدُنِي مِنَ النَّارِ.

قَالَ: «لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَنِي عَنْ عَظِيمٍ وَإِنَّهُ لَيَسِيرٌ عَلَى مَنْ يَسَّرَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ تَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَتُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ وَتَصُومُ رَمَضَانَ وَتَحُجُّ الْبَيْتَ».

ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ الْخَيْرِ الصَّوْمُ جُنَّةٌ وَالصَّدَقَةُ تُطْفِئُ الْخَطِيئَةَ كَمَا يُطْفِئُ الْمَاءُ النَّارَ وَصَلَاةُ الرَّجُلِ مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ».

قَالَ ثُمَّ تَلَاَ: (تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ) حَتَّى بَلَغَ: (يَعْمَلُونَ) ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِرَأْسِ الأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ وَعَمُودِهِ وَذِرْوَةِ سَنَامِهِ».

قُلْتُ: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ: «رَأْسُ الأَمْرِ الإِسْلَامُ وَعَمُودُهُ الصَّلَاةُ وَذِرْوَةُ سَنَامِهِ الْجِهَادُ». ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِمَلَاكِ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ».

قُلْتُ: بَلَى يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ بِلِسَانِهِ قَالَ: «كُفَّ عَلَيْكَ هَذَا». فَقُلْتُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّا لَمُؤَاخَذُونَ بِمَا نَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ فَقَالَ: «ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ يَا مُعَاذُ وَهَلْ يَكُبُّ النَّاسَ فِي النَّارِ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ أَوْ عَلَى مَنَاخِرِهِمْ إِلاَّ حَصَائِدُ أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ»

“I accompanied the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) on a journey. One day I was near him while we were moving so I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Inform me about an action by which I will be admitted into Paradise, and which will keep me far from the Fire.’

He said: ‘You have asked me about something great, but it is easy for whomever Allah makes it easy: Worship Allah and do not associate any partners with Him, establish the Salat, give the Zakat, fast Ramadan and perform Hajj to the HOuse.’

Then he said: ‘Shall I not guide you to the doors of good? Fasting is a shield, and charity extinguishes sins like water extinguishes fire – and a man’s praying in depths of the night.’”

He said: “Then he recited: ‘Their sides forsake their beds to call upon their Lord.’ Until he reached: ‘What they used to do.’ (As-Sajdah 32:16-17) Then he said: ‘Shall I not inform you about the head of the entire matter, and its pillar, and its hump?’

I said: ‘Of course O Messenger of Allah! He said: ‘The head of the matter is Islam, and its pillar is the Salat, and its hump is Jihad.’ Then he said: ‘Shall I not inform you about what governs all of that?’

I said: ‘Of course O Messenger of Allah!’’ He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: ‘So he grabbed his tongue. He said ‘Restrain this.’ I said: ‘O Prophet of Allah! Will we be taken to account for what we say?’

He said: ‘May your mother grieve your loss O Muadh! Are the people tossed into the Fire upon their faces, or upon their noses, except because of what their tongues have wrought.’’”

মু'আয ইবনু জাবাল (রাযিঃ) হতে বর্ণিত, তিনি বলেন, আমি কোন এক ভ্রমণে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর সাথে ছিলাম। একদিন যেতে যেতে আমি তার নিকটবর্তী হলাম।

আমি বললাম, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এমন একটি কাজ সম্পর্কে আমাকে জানিয়ে দিন যা আমাকে জান্নাতে প্রবেশ করাবে এবং জাহান্নাম হতে দূরে রাখবে।

তিনি বললেনঃ তুমি তো আমাকে একটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ বিষয়ে প্রশ্ন করেছো। তবে সেই ব্যক্তির জন্য এ ব্যাপারটা অতি সহজ যে ব্যক্তির জন্য আল্লাহ তা'আলা তা সহজ করে দেন। তুমি আল্লাহ তা'আলার ইবাদাত করবে, কোন কিছুকে তার সাথে শরীক করবে না, নামায প্রতিষ্ঠা করবে, যাকাত দিবে, রামাযানের রোযা রাখবে এবং বাইতুল্লাহর হাজ্জ করবে।

তিনি আরো বললেনঃ আমি কি তোমাকে কল্যাণের দরজাসমূহ সম্পর্কে বলে দিব না? রোযা হলো ঢালস্বরূপ, দান-খাইরাত গুনাহসমূহ বিলীন করে দেয়, যেমনিভাবে পানি আগুনকে নিভিয়ে দেয় এবং কোন ব্যক্তির মধ্যরাতের নামায আদায় করা। তারপর তিনি এই আয়াতটি তিলাওয়াত করেনঃ “তাদের দেহপাশ বিছানা থেকে আলাদা হয়ে যায় এবং তারা তাদের প্রভুকে ডাকে আশায় ও ভয়ে এবং আমি তাদেরকে যে রিযক দান করেছি তা থেকে তারা ব্যয় করে।

কেউই জানে না তাদের জন্য নয়নপ্রীতিকর কি লুকিয়ে রাখা হয়েছে তাদের কৃতকর্মের পুরস্কারস্বরূপ " (সূরা আস-সিজদা ১৬, ১৭) তিনি আবার বলেনঃ আমি কি সমস্ত কাজের মূল, স্তম্ভ ও সর্বোচ্চ শিখর সম্পর্কে তোমাকে অবহিত করবো না?

আমি বললাম, হ্যাঁ, ইয়া রাসূলাল্লাহ! তিনি বললেনঃ সকল কাজের মূল হলো ইসলাম, স্তম্ভ হলো নামায এবং সর্বোচ্চ শিখর হলো জিহাদ। তিনি আরো বললেন? আমি কি এসব কিছুর সার সম্পর্কে তোমাকে বলব না?

আমি বললাম, হ্যাঁ, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! তিনি তার জিহা ধরে বললেনঃ এটা সংযত রাখ। আমি প্রশ্ন করলাম, হে আল্লাহর নবী! আমরা যে কথা-বার্তা বলি এগুলো সম্পর্কেও কি পাকড়াও করা (জবাবদিহি) হবে?

তিনি বললেনঃ হে মু'আয! তোমার মা তোমাকে হারিয়ে ফেলুক! মানুষকে শুধুমাত্র জিহবার উপার্জনের কারণেই অধঃমুখে জাহান্নামে নিক্ষেপ করা হবে। সহীহঃ ইবনু মা-জাহ (৩৯৭৩)। আবূ ঈসা বলেন, এ হাদীসটি হাসান সহীহ।

معاذ بن جبل رضی الله عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ میں ایک سفر میں نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے ساتھ تھا، ایک دن صبح کے وقت میں آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے قریب ہوا، ہم سب چل رہے تھے، میں نے آپ سے عرض کیا: اللہ کے رسول! آپ مجھے کوئی ایسا عمل بتائیے جو مجھے جنت میں لے جائے، اور جہنم سے دور رکھے؟

آپ نے فرمایا: ”تم نے ایک بہت بڑی بات پوچھی ہے۔ اور بیشک یہ عمل اس شخص کے لیے آسان ہے جس کے لیے اللہ آسان کر دے۔ تم اللہ کی عبادت کرو اور اس کا کسی کو شریک نہ ٹھہراؤ، نماز قائم کرو، زکاۃ دو، رمضان کے روزے رکھو، اور بیت اللہ کا حج کرو“۔ پھر آپ نے فرمایا: ”کیا میں تمہیں بھلائی کے دروازے ( راستے ) نہ بتاؤں؟

روزہ ڈھال ہے، صدقہ گناہ کو ایسے بجھا دیتا ہے جس طرح پانی آگ کو بجھاتا ہے، اور آدھی رات کے وقت آدمی کا نماز ( تہجد ) پڑھنا“، پھر آپ نے آیت «تتجافى جنوبهم عن المضاجع» کی تلاوت «يعملون» تک فرمائی ۱؎، آپ نے پھر فرمایا: ”کیا میں تمہیں دین کی اصل، اس کا ستون اور اس کی چوٹی نہ بتا دوں؟“ میں نے کہا: کیوں نہیں؟

اللہ کے رسول ( ضرور بتائیے ) آپ نے فرمایا: ”دین کی اصل اسلام ہے ۲؎ اور اس کا ستون ( عمود ) نماز ہے اور اس کی چوٹی جہاد ہے“۔ پھر آپ نے فرمایا: ”کیا میں تمہیں ان تمام باتوں کا جس چیز پر دارومدار ہے وہ نہ بتا دوں؟“ میں نے کہا: جی ہاں، اللہ کے نبی!

پھر آپ نے اپنی زبان پکڑی، اور فرمایا: ”اسے اپنے قابو میں رکھو“، میں نے کہا: اللہ کے نبی! کیا ہم جو کچھ بولتے ہیں اس پر پکڑے جائیں گے؟ آپ نے فرمایا: ”تمہاری ماں تم پر روئے، معاذ! لوگ اپنی زبانوں کے بڑ بڑ ہی کی وجہ سے تو اوندھے منہ یا نتھنوں کے بل جہنم میں ڈالے جائیں گے؟“۔ امام ترمذی کہتے ہیں: یہ حدیث حسن صحیح ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Abi Umar] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Mu'adz ash Shan'ani] dari [Ma'mar] dari ['Ashim bin Abi an Najud] dari [Abu Wail] dari [Mu'adz bin Jabal] dia berkata; Saya pernah bersama Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam dalam suatu perjalanan, suatu pagi aku berada dekat dari beliau, dan kami sedang bepergian, maka saya berkata; 'Wahai Rasulullah, kabarkanlah kepadaku tentang suatu amal yang akan memasukkanku kedalam surga dan menjauhkanku dari neraka.'

Beliau menjawab: "Kamu telah menanyakan kepadaku tentang perkara yang besar, padahal sungguh ia merupakan perkara ringan bagi orang yang telah Allah jadikan ringan baginya, yaitu: Kamu menyembah Allah dan tidak menyekutukannya dengan sesuatu apa pun, kamu mendirikan shalat, menunaikan zakat, berpuasa di bulan Ramadhan, berhaji ke Baitullah."

Kemudian beliau bersabda: "Maukah kamu aku tunjukkan pada pintu-pintu kebaikan? Puasa adalah perisai dan sedekah akan memadamkan kesalahan sebagaimana air memadamkan api, dan shalat seorang laki-laki pada pertengahan malam." Kemudian beliau membaca; "Lambung mereka jauh dari tempat tidurnya, sedang mereka berdoa kepada Rabbnya dengan rasa takut dan harap, dan mereka menafkahkan sebagian dari rezki yang Kami berikan kepada mereka.

(16) Seorang pun tidak mengetahui apa yang disembunyikan untuk mereka yaitu (bermacam-macam nikmat) yang menyedapkan pandangan mata sebagai balasan terhadap apa yang telah mereka kerjakan." (As-Sajdah: 16-17).

Kemudian beliau bersabda: "Maukah kamu aku tunjukkan pokok perkara agama, tiang dan puncaknya?" Aku menjawab: "Ya, wahai Rasulullah." Beliau bersabda: "Pokok dari perkara agama adalah Islam, tiangnya adalah shalat, sedangkan puncaknya adalah jihad.'

Kemudian beliau bersabda: "Maukah kamu aku kabarkan dengan sesuatu yang menguatkan itu semua?" Aku menjawab; 'Ya, wahai Nabi Allah.' Lalu beliau memegang lisannya, dan bersabda: "'Tahanlah (lidah) mu ini."

Aku bertanya; 'Wahai Nabi Allah, (Apakah) sungguh kita akan diadzab disebabkan oleh perkataan yang kita ucapkan? ' Beliau menjawab; "(Celakalah kamu) ibumu kehilanganmu wahai Mu'adz, Tidaklah manusia itu disunggkurkan ke dalam neraka di atas muka atau hidung mereka melainkan karena hasil ucapan lisan mereka?" Abu Isa berkata; 'Ini hadits hasan shahih

Muâz b. Cebel (r.a.)’den rivâyete göre, şöyle demiştir: Rasûlullah (s.a.v.) ile bir yolculukta beraberdim yolda yürürken yanına yakın oldum: Ey Allah’ın Rasûlü! Dedim; “Bana öyle bir amel öğret ki beni Cehennem’den uzaklaştırıp Cennete koysun!” Bunun üzerine Rasûlullah (s.a.v.) buyurdular ki: “Bana çok büyük bir soru sordun ama bu mesele Allah’ın kolaylaştırdığı kimseler için çok kolaydır.

Şöyle ki: Her konuda ve her zaman kulluğu Allah’a yapar o'na hiçbir şeyi ortak koşmazsın, namazını devamlı ve düzgün kılarsın, zekatını verir, Ramazan orucunu tutar, haccedersin...” Sonra şöyle devam etti: “Sana hayır yollarını göstereceğim oruç kalkandır. Sadaka; suyun ateşi söndürdüğü gibi günahları siler süpürür. Kişinin gece kıldığı namazda yine hataları siler süpürür.”

Muâz dedi ki: Sonra, Rasûlullah (s.a.v.), Secde sûresi: 16-17. ayetini: “Onlar yataklarından geceleri kalkarak korku ve ümid içerisinde Rablerine yalvaranlardır ve kendilerine geçimlik verdiğimiz şeylerden başkalarına harcayandır. Böyle davranan mü’minlere gelince yaptıklarından dolayı mükafat olarak öteki dünyada onlara şimdiye kadar gizli kalan göz aydınlığı olarak onlar için nelerin saklanıp bekletildiğini hiç kimse bilip hayal edemez” okudu ve şöyle buyurdu: “Size bütün işlerin başını, direğini ve en üst noktasını bildireyim mi?

Bende, Evet, Ey Allah’ın Rasûlü! Dedim. Şöyle buyurdu: “Her işin başı İslam, yani iradeyi Allah’a teslim etmek demektir. Direği namaz, zirvesi ve üst noktası da cihâd tır.” Sonra şöyle devam etti: “Sana tüm bunların can damarını bildireyim mi?” Bende, Evet Ey Allah’ın Peygamberi dedim.

“Rasûlullah (s.a.v.) dilini tuttu ve kendi rahatlığın için şunu tut buyurdular.” Ben de, Ey Allah’ın Rasûlü!: Bizler konuşmalarımız yüzünden sorguya çekilecek miyiz? Dedim.

Şöyle dedi: “Anan hasretine yansın Ey Muâz! İnsanları yüzü koyun ve burunları yerde süründürerek Cehennem'e dolduran dillerin kazandığından başkası değildir.” Diğer tahric: Müslim, İman; Buhârî, İman Tirmizî: Bu hadis hasen sahihtir

The note in this edition

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

What it means

Mu‘ādh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was on a journey in the company of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). One morning, I was close to him when we were on the move, so I said: O Messenger of Allah, inform me of a deed that admits me to Paradise and keeps me far from Hellfire.

He said: You have asked me about a deed that is hard for people to perform, but it is, indeed, easy and simple for whomever Allah makes it easy. Perform the obligations of Islam. First: Worship Allah alone and do not associate anything with Him. Second: Establish the five obligatory prayers every day and night, namely Fajr, Zhuhr, ‘Asr, Maghrib, and ''Ishā'—along with observing their conditions, pillars, and obligatory acts. Third: Pay the obligatory Zakah, which is an obligatory financial act of worship due on every type of property that has reached the limit prescribed by the Shariah,

and it is to be given to those entitled to it. Fourth: Fast Ramadan, which is abstaining from food, drink, and other fast invalidators as a form of worship from the break of dawn to sunset. Fifth: Make Hajj to the House by heading for Makkah to perform the rituals as a means of worshiping Allah Almighty. Then he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Shall I inform you of the path leading to the gates of goodness?

Follow these obligations with voluntary acts of worship. First: Voluntary fast, which prevents from falling into sins by breaking the lust and enfeebling the power. Second: Voluntary charity extinguishes the sin after being committed, eliminates it, and erases its traces. Third: Tahjjud prayer during the last third of the night, then he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) recited Allah's statement: {They forsake their beds}, i.e., they leave their beds {invoking their Lord} in prayer, Dhikr, recitation of the Qur’an, and supplication {with fear and hope, and spend out of what We have provided for them.

No soul knows what delights are kept hidden for them}, i.e., the bliss that will provide them with ultimate comfort on the Day of Judgment and in Paradise {as a reward for what they used to do.} Then he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Shall I inform you of the essence of the religion, its pillar upon which it is founded, and its peak? Mu‘ādh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: The head of the matter is: Islam, i.e., the two testimonies of faith by which one attains the essence of the religion.

Its pillar is: the prayer, since there is no Islam without prayer as there is no house without a pillar. So, whoever prays, his religion is enhanced and elevated. Its peak and climax are attained through Jihad and the exertion of effort in fighting against the enemies of the religion to make the word of Allah supreme. Then he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Shall I tell you what controls and perfects the aforementioned?

He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of his tongue and said: Control this and do not speak about what does not concern you. Mu‘ādh said: Does our Lord hold us accountable and responsible and punish us for what we speak?! He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: May your mother lose you! This is not meant as a supplication against him; rather, it is one of the Arabs' common expressions that is meant to draw attention to something that one is supposed to be aware of and to know.

Then he said: What else can cast people and throw them on their faces in Hellfire other than the harvest of their tongues speaking words of disbelief, accusing of immorality, insult, backbiting, talebearing, false accusation, etc.?!

What it teaches

  • The Companions' keenness on acquiring knowledge; hence, they used to ask the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) frequently about it.
  • The Companions' good understanding of the religion, as they knew that deeds are a means of entering Paradise.
  • The question posed by Mu‘ādh (may Allah be pleased with him) is of great significance because it is in reality the secret of life and existence. The goal of every existent being in this world from mankind or the jinn is either Paradise or Hellfire, and this is the reason why such a question has great significance.
  • Admittance to Paradise is contingent on fulfilling the five pillars of Islam, which are: the two testimonies of faith, prayer, Zakah, fasting, and Hajj.
  • The head of the religion, the most precious mission, and the most important duty is belief in the oneness of Allah by worshiping Him alone with no partner.
  • As a token of Allah's mercy towards His slaves, He opened for them the gates of goodness to take provision from the causes leading to rewards and forgiveness of sins.
  • The merit of drawing closer to Allah by performing voluntary acts of worship after performing the obligatory ones.
  • Prayer, in relation to Islam, is like the pillar upon which a tent is set up, and without prayer, there is no Islam just as a tent collapses with the collapse of its pillar.
  • It is obligatory to restrain the tongue from whatever negatively affects man's religion.
  • Restraining, controlling, and curbing the tongue is the basis of all goodness.
