Sunan Abi Dawud 4855

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: People who get up from an assembly in which they did not remember Allah will be just as if they had got up from an ass’s corpse, and it will be a cause of grief to them.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّازُ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا مِنْ قَوْمٍ يَقُومُونَ مِنْ مَجْلِسٍ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ فِيهِ إِلاَّ قَامُوا عَنْ مِثْلِ جِيفَةِ حِمَارٍ وَكَانَ لَهُمْ حَسْرَةً»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: People who get up from an assembly in which they did not remember Allah will be just as if they had got up from an ass’s corpse, and it will be a cause of grief to them.

আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ কোনো কওমের লোকেরা কোনো সমাবেশে একত্রিত হওয়ার পর চলে যাবার সময় তাতে আল্লাহকে স্মরণ না করেই চলে গেলে তা যেন গাধার শবদেহ। তা তাদের জন্য পরিতাপের কারণ হবে।[1] সহীহ।

ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: جو لوگ بھی بغیر اللہ کو یاد کئے کسی مجلس سے اٹھ کھڑے ہوتے ہوں تو وہ ایسی مجلس سے اٹھے ہوتے ہیں جو بدبو میں مرے ہوئے گدھے کی لاش کی طرح ہوتی ہے، اور وہ مجلس ان کے لیے ( قیامت کے روز ) باعث حسرت ہو گی ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Ash Shabbah Al Bazzaz] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Isma'il bin Zakariya] dari [Suhail bin Abu Shalih] dari [Bapaknya] dari [Abu Hurairah] ia berkata, "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Tidaklah suatu kaum bangkit dari tempat duduknya, dan mereka tidak menyebut nama Allah dalam majlis tersebut, melainkan mereka seperti bangun dari tempat yang semisal dengan bangkai himar, dan kelak akan menjadi penyesalan baginya (di akhirat)

Ebu Hureyre'den (rivayet edildiğine göre) Rasûlullah (s.a,), şöyle buyurmuştur: "Allah'ı zikretmeden bir meclisten kalkan topluluk, eşek leşi gibi (bir pislik)den kalkmış gibi olurlar ve (bu meclis kıyamet gününde) kendileri için bir üzüntü (kaynağı) olur

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that no people attend a gathering then leave it without remembering Allah therein except that it will be as if they are leaving a gathering on the carcass of a donkey in terms of rottenness and filth because of being too preoccupied with their speech from remembering Allah. This gathering will be a source of their sorrow, loss, and eternal regret on the Day of Judgment.

What it teaches

  • The warning mentioned here against heedlessness of remembering Allah is not restricted only to gatherings; rather, it includes other things as well. An-Nawawi said: It is disliked for one who sits in a place to leave it without remembering Allah Almighty therein.
  • The sorrow they experience on the Day of Judgment: is either because of missing the recompense and reward for not taking advantage of the time in obeying Allah, or because of incurring sin and being subject to punishment because of using the time in disobeying Allah.
  • If this warning is against heedlessness caused by what is permissible, then what about the prohibited gatherings that involve backbiting, talebearing, and other prohibitions?!
