حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ عَنْ زِيَادٍ، مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَحْرِيَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ

رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَلَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ أَعْمَالِكُمْ وَأَزْكَاهَا عِنْدَ مَلِيكِكُمْ وَأَرْفَعِهَا فِي دَرَجَاتِكُمْ وَخَيْرٌ لَكُمْ مِنْ إِنْفَاقِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْوَرِقِ وَخَيْرٌ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْ تَلْقَوْا عَدُوَّكُمْ فَتَضْرِبُوا أَعْنَاقَهُمْ وَيَضْرِبُوا أَعْنَاقَكُمْ».

قَالُوا: بَلَى. قَالَ: «ذِكْرُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى». فَقَالَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ رضى الله عنه مَا شَيْءٌ أَنْجَى مِنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ

Abu ad-Darda [may Allah be pleased with him] narrated that: the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Should I not inform you of the best of your deed, and the purest of them with your Master, and the highest of them in your ranks, and what is better for you than spending gold and silver, and better for you than meeting your enemy and striking their necks, and they strike your necks?”

They said: “Of course.” He said, “The remembrance of Allah [Most High].” [Then] Muadh ibn Jabal [may Allah be pleased with him] said: “There is nothing that brings more salvation from the punishment of Allah than the remembrance of Allah.”

আবূদ দারদা (রাযিঃ) হতে বর্ণিত আছে। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ আমি তোমাদেরকে কি তোমাদের অধিক উত্তম কাজ প্রসঙ্গে জানাব না, যা তোমাদের মনিবের নিকট সবচেয়ে পবিত্র, তোমাদের সম্মানের দিক হতে সবচেয়ে উঁচু, স্বর্ণ ও রৌপ্য দান-খাইরাত করার চেয়েও বেশি ভাল এবং তোমাদের শক্রর মুকাবিলায় অবতীর্ণ হয়ে তাদেরকে তোমাদের সংহার করা ও তোমাদেরকে তাদের সংহার করার চাইতেও ভাল?

তারা বললেন, হ্যাঁ। তিনি বললেনঃ আল্লাহ তা'আলার যিকর। মু'আয ইবনু জাবাল (রাযিঃ) বলেন, আল্লাহ তা'আলার শাস্তি হতে মুক্তি পাওয়ার জন্য আল্লাহ তা'আলার যিকরের তুলনায় অগ্রগণ্য কোন জিনিস নেই। সহীহঃ ইবনু মাজাহ (হাঃ ৩৭৯০)। কোন কোন বর্ণনাকারী উক্ত সনদে এ হাদীসটি আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু সাঈদ (রহঃ) হতে একই রকম রিওয়ায়াত করেছেন।

কিছু বর্ণনাকারী আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু সাঈদ (রাহঃ) হতে উক্ত সনদে এটিকে মুরসাল হিসেবেও রিওয়ায়াত করেছেন।

ابو الدرداء رضی الله عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: ”کیا میں تمہارے سب سے بہتر اور تمہارے رب کے نزدیک سب سے پاکیزہ اور سب سے بلند درجے والے عمل کی تمہیں خبر نہ دوں؟ وہ عمل تمہارے لیے سونا چاندی خرچ کرنے سے بہتر ہے، وہ عمل تمہارے لیے اس سے بھی بہتر ہے کہ تم ( میدان جنگ میں ) اپنے دشمن سے ٹکراؤ، وہ تمہاری گردنیں کاٹے اور تم ان کی ( یعنی تمہارے جہاد کرنے سے بھی افضل ) “ لوگوں نے کہا: جی ہاں، ( ضرور بتائیے ) آپ نے فرمایا: ”وہ اللہ تعالیٰ کا ذکر ہے“، معاذ بن جبل رضی الله عنہ کہتے ہیں: اللہ کے ذکر سے بڑھ کر اللہ کے عذاب سے بچانے والی کوئی اور چیز نہیں ہے ۱؎۔

امام ترمذی کہتے ہیں: بعض نے یہ حدیث عبداللہ بن سعید اسی طرح اسی سند سے روایت کی ہے، اور بعضوں نے اسے ان سے مرسلاً روایت کیا ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Husain bin Huraits] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Fadhl bin Musa] dari [Abdullah bin Sa'id yaitu Ibnu Abu Hindun] dari [Ziyad mantan budak Ibnu 'Ayyasy] dari [Abu Bahriyyah] dari [Abu Ad Darda` radliallahu 'anhu] ia berkata; Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Maukah aku beritahukan kepada kalian mengenai amalan kalian yang terbaik, dan yang paling suci di sisi Raja (Allah) kalian, paling tinggi derajatnya, serta lebih baik bagi kalian daripada menginfakkan emas dan perak, serta lebih baik bagi kalian daripada bertemu dengan musuh kemudian kalian memenggel leher mereka dan mereka memenggal leher kalian?"

Mereka berkata; ya. Beliau berkata: "Berdzikir kepada Allah ta'ala." Mu'adz bin Jabal radliallahu 'anhu berkata; tidak ada sesuatu yang lebih dapat menyelamatkan dari adzab Allah daripada dzikir kepada Allah. Sebagian ulama telah meriwayatkan hadits ini dari Abdullah bin Sa'id seperti ini dengan sanad ini dan sebagian yang lain meriwayatkan dari Mu'adz dan memursalkan hadits tersebut

Ebû’d Derdâ (r.a.)’den rivâyete göre, Nebi (s.a.v) şöyle buyurdu: “Dikkat edin! Amellerinizin en hayırlısını Allah katında en değerlisini altın ve gümüş dağıtmaktan daha hayırlı ve derecelerinizi daha yükselten, düşmanla karşılaşıp sizin onların boyunlarını, onların da sizin boyunlarınızı vurmanızdan daha hayırlı bir şeyi size haber vereyim mi?

Ashab: “Evet” dediler. Rasûlullah (s.a.v.) de: “Her zaman ve her zeminde Allah’ı devamlı hatırlayıp gündemde tutmaktır.” Muâz b. Cebel dedi ki: “Allah’ın azabından kişiyi en iyi kurtaran her zamanda ve her zeminde Allah’ı gündemden çıkarmayıp her an hatırlamaktır.”

The note in this edition

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: وَقَدْ رَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ مِثْلَ هَذَا بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَرَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ عَنْهُ فَأَرْسَلَهُ

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) asked his Companions: Do you want me to tell you and inform you of the best of your deeds, the most honorable, the most fruitful, the most virtuous, and the purest in the sight of Allah Almighty, the Owner? Deeds that are the highest in terms of your ranks in Paradise? And that are better for you than giving gold and silver in charity? And better for you than encountering the disbelievers in a battle and striking their necks and having them strike yours? The Companions said: Yes, we want this. He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Dhikr of Allah Almighty at all times, in all postures, and all circumstances.

What it teaches

  • Remembering Allah Almighty constantly, outwardly and inwardly, is among the greatest means of drawing close to Allah and among the most beneficial acts in the sight of Allah Almighty.
  • All deeds have only been prescribed to establish the remembrance of Allah Almighty, as Allah Almighty says: {And establish prayer to remember Me.} The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Tawāf (circumambulation) around the House and between Safa and Marwah and stoning the Jamrahs (stoning pillars) have been prescribed for establishing the remembrance of Allah Almighty." [Narrated by Abu Dāwūd and At-Tirmidhi]
  • Al-‘Izz ibn ‘Abdus-Salām said in his Qawā‘id: This Hadīth is part of the evidence that the reward of all acts of worship is not contingent on the amount of fatigue involved; rather, Allah Almighty may grant for a few deeds a reward greater than what He grants for abundant deeds. So, the reward depends on the variation in the degrees of honor.
  • Al-Munāwi said in Fayd Al-Qadīr: This Hadīth is taken to refer to the fact that Dhikr was better for those whom it addressed. However, if a courageous and brave person who could benefit Islam through fighting was addressed therewith, then he would be told that it is Jihad. Moreover, if it addressed a rich person who could benefit the poor with his wealth, he would be told that it is voluntary charity. Similarly, one capable of making Hajj would be told that it is Hajj, and one who has parents would be told that it is dutifulness to one's parents. This way the reports could be attuned.
  • The most perfect Dhikr is that which is uttered by the tongue and perceived by the heart, followed by what is perceived by the heart alone, like reflection, then what is uttered by the tongue alone, and each entails reward, Allah willing.
  • When a Muslim observes the Adhkār (regular supplications) that are linked to certain conditions, like the morning and evening supplications, entering the mosque, entering and exiting the bathroom, etc., this makes him among those who remember Allah frequently.
