حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِأَفْضَلَ مِنْ دَرَجَةِ الصِّيَامِ وَالصَّلَاةِ وَالصَّدَقَةِ». قَالُوا: بَلَى. قَالَ: «إِصْلَاحُ ذَاتِ الْبَيْنِ وَفَسَادُ ذَاتِ الْبَيْنِ الْحَالِقَةُ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Shall I not inform you of something more excellent in degree than fasting, prayer and almsgiving (sadaqah)? The people replied: Yes, Prophet of Allah! He said: It is putting things right between people, spoiling them is the shaver (destructive).

আবূ দারদা (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেনঃ আমি কি তোমাদেরকে সিয়াম, সালাত ও সাদাকাহর চেয়েও ফাযীলাতপূর্ণ কাজের কথা বলবো না? সাহাবীগণ বললেন, হ্যাঁ অবশ্যই হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! তিনি বললেনঃ পরস্পরের মধ্যে মীমাংসা করা। আর পরস্পরের মধ্যে ঝগড়া বাধানো ধ্বংসের কারণ।[1] সহীহ।

ابو الدرداء رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: کیا میں تمہیں وہ بات نہ بتاؤں جو درجے میں روزے، نماز اور زکاۃ سے بڑھ کر ہے؟ لوگوں نے کہا: کیوں نہیں، آپ نے فرمایا: آپس میں میل جول کرا دینا، اور آپس کی لڑائی اور پھوٹ تو سر مونڈنے والی ہے ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad Ibnul 'Ala] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Mu'awiyah] dari [Al A'masy] dari [Amru bin Murrah] dari [Salim] dari [Ummu Darda] dari [Abu Darda] ia berkata, "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Maukah jika aku kabarkan kepada kalian sesuatu yang lebih utama dari derajat puasa, shalat dan sedekah?"

para sahabat berkata, "Tentu ya Rasulullah." Beliau bersabda: "Mendamaikan orang yang sedang berselisih. Dan rusaknya orang yang berselisih adalah pencukur (mencukur amal kebaikan yang telah dikerjakan)

Ebu'd-Derdâ'dan (rivayet edildiğine göre) Râsulullah (s.a.v.) (bir gün) sahabelere; "Size oruçtan da namazdan da ve sadakadan da daha faziletli olan bir amel haber vereyim mi?" demiş.(Onlarda): Evet ya Rasûlullah (haber ver), demişler. (Bunun üzerine Rasûlullah): "(O) iki kişinin arasını düzeltmektir. İki kişinin arasını açmak (ise usturanın kılı kazıdığı gibi dini kökünden söken) bir kazıyıcıdır," buyurmuş

Sunan Abi Dawud 4919, Book 43, General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab), Hadith 147. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (ﷺ) asked his Companions: Shall I tell you of something that brings a greater reward than frequently performing voluntary fasting, prayer, and charity? They said: Yes. He said: It is reconciling between those in conflict, for disputes lead to division, estrangement, hatred, and turning away from one another. The enmity that results from discord is a trait that destroys and eradicates both religion and worldly life, just as a razor completely removes hair.

What it teaches

  • The Prophet (ﷺ) used to ask his Companions questions and arouse their eagerness to know the answer.
  • At-Tībi said: This Hadīth encourages and urges reconciliation between people and the avoidance of causing discord, for reconciliation is a means of holding fast to the rope of Allah and preventing division among Muslims. Discord, on the other hand, is a breach in the religion; thus, whoever strives to mend it and remove its corruption attains a rank higher than that of one who fasts, prays, and is occupied only with his own personal worship.
