حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، وَالأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ ذَرٍّ، عَنْ يُسَيْعٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ

قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «الدُّعَاءُ هُوَ الْعِبَادَةُ». ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: (وقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِي سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ)

That the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Supplication is the worship.” Then he recited: ‘And your Lord said: ‘Call upon Me, I will answer you. Verily, those who scorn my My worship, they will surely enter Hell in humiliation (40:).’’

নুমান ইবনু বাশীর (রাযিঃ) হতে বর্ণিত আছে। তিনি বলেন, আমি নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-কে বলতে শুনেছিঃ দু'আটাই হল ইবাদাত। তারপর তিনি পাঠ করেন (অনুবাদ) "তোমাদের রব বলেন, তোমরা আমাকে ডাকো। আমি তোমাদের ডাকে সাড়া দিব। যারা অহংকারবশতঃ আমার ইবাদাত হতে বিমুখ হয়, নিশ্চিত তারা অচিরেই লাঞ্চিত হয় জাহান্নামে যাবে”— (সূরা মু'মিন ৬০)। সহীহঃ ইবনু মা-জাহ (৩৮২৮) আবূ ঈসা বলেন, এ হাদীসটি হাসান সহীহ।

نعمان بن بشیر رضی الله عنہما کہتے ہیں کہ میں نے نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو فرماتے ہوئے سنا: دعا ہی عبادت ہے، پھر آپ نے آیت: «وقال ربكم ادعوني أستجب لكم إن الذين يستكبرون عن عبادتي سيدخلون جهنم داخرين» ( غافر: 60 ) ۱؎۔ امام ترمذی کہتے ہیں: یہ حدیث حسن صحیح ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Basyar] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdurrahman bin Mahdi] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sufyan] dari [Manshur] dan [Al A'masy] dari [Dzarr] dari [Yusai' Al Hadlrami] dari [An Nu'man bin Basyir] berkata: Aku mendengar nabi Shallallahu 'alaihi wa Salam bersabda: "Doa adalah ibadah" kemudian beliau membaca: "Dan Rabbmu berfirman: 'Berdoalah kepadaKu, niscaya akan Kuperkenankan bagimu.

Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang menyombongkan diri dari menyembahKu akan masuk neraka Jahannam dalam keadaan hina dina." (Al Mu`min: 60) Abu Isa berkata: Hadits ini hasan shahih

Numân b. Beşîr (r.a.)’den rivâyet edildiğine göre, şöyle demiştir: Rasûlullah (s.a.v.)’den işittim şöyle diyordu: “Duâ ibadetin kendisidir” sonra Mü’min sûresi 60. ayetini okudu: “Ama Rabbiniz buyuruyor ki: “Bana duâ edin, duânızı kabul edeyim. Şüphesiz ki, bana kulluk etmekten ululuk taslayarak çekinenler, aşağılık bir halde Cehenneme gireceklerdir.”

The note in this edition

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that supplication is worship. So, it should be purely directed to Allah, whether supplication is that of request, as the supplicant asks Allah Almighty to bring him what is beneficial and avert from him what is harmful in this world and in the Hereafter, or supplication of worship, involving such words and deeds, inward and outward, that are beloved and pleasing to Allah, acts of worship performed within the heart or through one's body or money. Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) cited as evidence the verse that reads: {Call upon Me; I will respond to you. Those who are too proud to worship Me will enter Hell, utterly debased.}

What it teaches

  • Supplication is the basis of worship and may not be directed to other than Allah.
  • Supplication comprises the true meaning of servitude to Allah, the servant's recognition of the self-sufficiency and power of his Lord, and the servant's need of Him.
  • The Hadīth contains a stern warning to those who are too proud to worship Allah and refrain from supplicating Him: that such people will enter Hellfire, utterly debased and humiliated.
