حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُقْرِئُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي صَخْرٍ، حُمَيْدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قُسَيْطٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَىَّ إِلاَّ رَدَّ اللَّهُ عَلَىَّ رُوحِي حَتَّى أَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: If any one of you greets me, Allah returns my soul to me and I respond to the greeting.

আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাযি.) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ কেউ আমার উপর সালাম পেশ করলে আল্লাহ আমার ‘রূহ’ ফিরিয়ে দেন এবং আমি তার সালামের জবাব দেই।[1] হাসান।

ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: مجھ پر جب بھی کوئی سلام بھیجتا ہے تو اللہ تعالیٰ میری روح مجھے لوٹا دیتا ہے یہاں تک کہ میں اس کے سلام کا جواب دیتا ہوں ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin 'Auf], telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Muqri`], telah menceritakan kepada kami [Haiwah], dari [Abu Shakhr Humaid bin Ziyad] dari [Yazid bin Abdullah bin Qusaith] dari [Abu Hurairah] bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam berkata: "Tidaklah seseorang memberikan salam kepadaku melainkan Allah akan mengembalikan nyawaku hingga aku membalas salamnya

Ebû Hureyre (r.a.)'den rivayet edildiğine göre, Resûlullah sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem: “Birisi bana selâm verdiği zaman o'na karşılık vermem için Allah ruhumu bana iade eder." buyurmuştur

Sunan Abi Dawud 2041, Book 11, The Rites of Hajj (Kitab Al-Manasik Wa'l-Hajj), Hadith 321. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that his soul is restored to him to return the greeting of whoever greets him, whether he is near or far. Life in the Barzakh (the period between death and resurrection) and the grave is a matter of the unseen, and no one knows its reality except Allah, Who is Competent over all things.

What it teaches

  • Encouraging the act of frequently invoking Allah's blessings upon the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).
  • The Prophet's life in his grave is the most perfect life a man can have in his Barzakh and no one knows its reality but Allah Almighty.
  • This Hadīth is not proof that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) has a life like the one we have, so the people of Shirk would not take this as a pretext for seeking relief from him (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). Rather, it is a Barzakh life.
