حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا زُبَيْدٌ الْيَامِيُّ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رضى الله عنه

قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَطَمَ الْخُدُودَ، وَشَقَّ الْجُيُوبَ، وَدَعَا بِدَعْوَى الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “He who slaps his cheeks, tears his clothes and follows the ways and traditions of the Days of Ignorance is not one of us.”

‘আবদুল্লাহ্ ইবনু মাস‘ঊদ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ যারা (মৃত ব্যক্তির জন্য শোক প্রকাশে) গন্ডে চপেটাঘাত করে, জামার বক্ষ ছিন্ন করে এবং জাহিলী যুগের মত চিৎকার দেয়, তারা আমাদের দলভুক্ত নয়। (১২৯৭, ১২৯৮, ৩৫১৯, মুসলিম ১/৪৪, হাঃ ১০৩, আহমাদ ৪১১১)

ہم سے ابونعیم نے بیان کیا ‘ کہ ہم سے سفیان ثوری نے ‘ ان سے زبید یامی نے بیان کیا ‘ ان سے ابراہیم نخعی نے ‘ ان سے مسروق نے اور ان سے عبداللہ بن مسعود رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ جو عورتیں ( کسی کی موت پر ) اپنے چہروں کو پیٹتی اور گریبان چاک کر لیتی ہیں اور جاہلیت کی باتیں بکتی ہیں وہ ہم میں سے نہیں ہیں۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Nu'aim] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sufyan] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Zubaid Al Yamiy] dari [Ibrahim] dari [Masruq] dari ['Abdullah radliallahu 'anhu] berkata; Nabi Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam telah bersabda: "Bukan dari golongan kami siapa yang menampar-nampar pipi, merobek-robek baju dan menyeru dengan seruan jahiliyyah (meratap)

Abdullah (İbn Mes'ud) (r.a.), Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'in şöyle buyurduğunu belirtmiştir: (Ölüler için) Yanaklarına vuran, yakalarını yırtan ve cahiliyedeki adet üzere feryad eden kimse bizden değildir. Tekrar: 1297, 1298, 3519 Diğer tahric: Tirmizî, Cenaiz; İbn Mâce, Cenaiz

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade and warned against some of the practices of the people of Jāhliyyah, saying: He is not one of us: First: The one who slaps the cheeks, and the cheek is mentioned in particular because it is the part usually slapped; otherwise, slapping the rest of the face is included in the prohibition. Second: The one who splits the opened part of the garment through which the head is entered due to severe discontentment. Third: The one who calls out with the calls of the people of Jāhiliyyah, like supplicating for ruin and destruction, wailing, lamenting, etc.

What it teaches

  • The threat in the Hadīth denotes that such acts are from the major sins.
  • It is obligatory to adopt patience in dealing with calamities. It is prohibited to express discontent about the painful experiences predestined by Allah through wailing, lamenting, shaving, tearing clothes, etc.
  • It is prohibited to imitate the practices of Jāhiliyyah that have not been approved by the Legislator.
  • There is nothing wrong with sadness and crying, as they do not contradict patience with Allah's predestination; rather, they are a mercy that Allah has placed in the hearts of relatives and loved ones.
  • A Muslim should be content with Allah's predestination, and if he does not feel content, then patience is obligatory upon him.
