حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا يَشْكُرُ اللَّهَ مَنْ لَا يَشْكُرُ النَّاسَ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: He who does not thank the people is not thankful to Allah.

আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেনঃ যে ব্যক্তি মানুষের প্রতি কৃতজ্ঞতা প্রকাশ করে না সে আল্লাহর প্রতিও কৃতজ্ঞতা প্রকাশ করে না। অথবা যে ব্যক্তি মানুষের প্রতি অকৃতজ্ঞ, সে আল্লাহর প্রতিও অকৃতজ্ঞ।[1] সহীহ।

ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: جو لوگوں کا شکر ادا نہیں کرتا اللہ کا ( بھی ) شکر ادا نہیں کرتا ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muslim bin Ibrahim] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ar Rabi' bin Muslim] dari [Muhammad bin Ziyad] dari [Abu Hurairah] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, beliau bersabda: "Tidak dianggap bersyukur kepada Allah orang yang tidak bersyukur kepada manusia

Ebu Hureyre'den (rivayet edildiğine göre) Nebi (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem): "İnsanlara teşekkür etmeyen, Allah'a şükretmez."buyurmuştur. Diğer tahric: Tirmizî, birr; Ahmed b. Hanbel, II-258, 295, 303, 388, 461, 492, III, 32, 74, IV, 278, 375, V

What it means

The Prophet (ﷺ) informed that one who habitually does not thank people for the kindness and good they show him does not truly thank Allah because the two are connected. A person whose nature and habit are to be ungrateful to people and fail to thank them will likewise be inclined to be ungrateful for Allah's blessings and neglect showing gratitude to Him.

What it teaches

  • The importance of thanking people for the kindness and good they do.
  • The true Bestower of blessings is Allah Almighty, while people are merely means that Allah Almighty employs to whom He wills. Therefore, thanking people is in fact part of thanking Allah Almighty.
  • Thanking people for their kindness is a sign of perfect morals.
