حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ التَّنُوخِيُّ أَبُو الْجَمَاهِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ

أَنَّ رَجُلاً، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ائْذَنْ لِي فِي السِّيَاحَةِ. قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ سِيَاحَةَ أُمَّتِي الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى»

A man said: Messenger of Allah, allow tourism for me. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: The tourism of my people is striving in the path of Allah, the Exalted.

আবূ উমামাহ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। এক ব্যক্তি বললো, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! আমাকে সন্ন্যাসী জীবন অবলম্বনের অনুমতি দিন। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেনঃ আমার উম্মাতের সন্ন্যাসাবদ হলো মহান আল্লাহর পথে জিহাদ করা।

ابوامامہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ ایک شخص نے عرض کیا: اللہ کے رسول! مجھے سیاحت کی اجازت دے دیجئیے، نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: میری امت کی سیاحت اللہ کے راہ میں جہاد کرنا ہے ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Utsman At Tanukhi Abu Al Jamahir], telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Haitsam bin Humaid], telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Al 'Ala` bin Al Harits] dari [Al Qasim bin Abdurrahman] dari [Abu Umamah], bahwa seorang laki-laki berkata; wahai Rasulullah, izinkan aku untuk berkelana! Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam berkata: "Sesungguhnya pengelanaan (pengembaraan) umatku adalah berjihad di jalan Allah ta'ala

Ebû Ümâme'den rivayet olunduğuna göre, Bir adam; Ey Allah'ın Rasûlü, bana seyahat etmek için izin ver demiş de Peygamber (s.a.v.); "Ümmetimin seyahati yüce Allah'ın yolunda cihad etmektir." buyurmuştur

What it means

This Hadīth explains that acts of worship are restricted to matters that have textual evidence. A Muslim is only allowed to perform acts of worship in the way that the pure Shariah has dictated. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) explained to the man who asked him to be allowed to travel for the sake of worship - which is a habit of the Christians – that the tourism of the Muslims is to spread Islam across the world and to perform Jihad in the path of Allah to elevate His religion.
