حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ الزَّيَّاتِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه

يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «قَالَ اللَّهُ كُلُّ عَمَلِ ابْنِ آدَمَ لَهُ إِلاَّ الصِّيَامَ، فَإِنَّهُ لِي، وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ. وَالصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ، وَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ صَوْمِ أَحَدِكُمْ، فَلَا يَرْفُثْ وَلَا يَصْخَبْ، فَإِنْ سَابَّهُ أَحَدٌ، أَوْ قَاتَلَهُ فَلْيَقُلْ إِنِّي امْرُؤٌ صَائِمٌ.

وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَخُلُوفُ فَمِ الصَّائِمِ أَطْيَبُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ رِيحِ الْمِسْكِ، لِلصَّائِمِ فَرْحَتَانِ يَفْرَحُهُمَا إِذَا أَفْطَرَ فَرِحَ، وَإِذَا لَقِيَ رَبَّهُ فَرِحَ بِصَوْمِهِ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Allah said, ‘All the deeds of Adam’s sons (people) are for them, except fasting which is for Me, and I will give the reward for it.’ Fasting is a shield or protection from the fire and from committing sins. If one of you is fasting, he should avoid sexual relation with his wife and quarreling, and if somebody should fight or quarrel with him, he should say, ‘I am fasting.’

By Him in Whose Hands my soul is The unpleasant smell coming out from the mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the smell of musk. There are two pleasures for the fasting person, one at the time of breaking his fast, and the other at the time when he will meet his Lord; then he will be pleased because of his fasting.”

আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেনঃ আল্লাহ তা‘আলা বলেছেন, সওম ব্যতীত আদম সন্তানের প্রতিটি কাজই তার নিজের জন্য, কিন্তু সিয়াম আমার জন্য। তাই আমি এর প্রতিদান দেব। সিয়াম ঢাল স্বরূপ। তোমাদের কেউ যেন সিয়াম পালনের দিন অশ্লীলতায় লিপ্ত না হয় এবং ঝগড়া-বিবাদ না করে।

যদি কেউ তাকে গালি দেয় অথবা তার সঙ্গে ঝগড়া করে, তাহলে সে যেন বলে, আমি একজন সায়িম। যাঁর কবজায় মুহাম্মাদের প্রাণ, তাঁর শপথ! অবশ্যই সায়িমের মুখের গন্ধ আল্লাহর নিকট মিস্কের গন্ধের চাইতেও সুগন্ধি। সায়িমের জন্য রয়েছে দু’টি খুশী যা তাকে খুশী করে। যখন সে ইফতার করে, সে খুশী হয় এবং যখন সে তার রবের সাথে সাক্ষাৎ করবে, তখন সওমের বিনিময়ে আনন্দিত হবে। (১৮৯৪, মুসলিম ১৩/৩০, হাঃ ১১৫১, আহমাদ ৭৭৯৩)

ہم سے ابراہیم بن موسیٰ بن موسیٰ نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ ہم کو ہشام بن یوسف نے خبر دی، انہیں ابن جریج نے کہا کہ مجھے عطاء نے خبر دی، انہیں ابوصالح (جو روغن زیتون اور گھی بیچتے تھے) نے انہوں نے ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ سے سنا کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا،

اللہ پاک فرماتا ہے کہ انسان کا ہر نیک عمل خود اسی کے لیے ہے مگر روزہ کہ وہ خاص میرے لیے ہے اور میں ہی اس کا بدلہ دوں گا اور روزہ گناہوں کی ایک ڈھال ہے، اگر کوئی روزے سے ہو تو اسے فحش گوئی نہ کرنی چاہئے اور نہ شور مچائے، اگر کوئی شخص اس کو گالی دے یا لڑنا چاہئے تو اس کا جواب صرف یہ ہو کہ میں ایک روزہ دار آدمی ہوں، اس ذات کی قسم جس کے ہاتھ میں محمد ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) کی جان ہے!

روزہ دار کے منہ کی بو اللہ تعالیٰ کے نزدیک مشک کی خوشبو سے بھی زیادہ بہتر ہے، روزہ دار کو دو خوشیاں حاصل ہوں گی ( ایک تو جب ) وہ افطار کرتا ہے تو خوش ہوتا ہے اور ( دوسرے ) جب وہ اپنے رب سے ملاقات کرے گا تو اپنے روزے کا ثواب پا کر خوش ہو گا۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibrahim bin Musa] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Hisyam bun Yusuf] dari [Ibnu Juraij] berkata, telah mengabarkan kepada saya ['Atho'] dari [Abu Shalih Az Zayyat] bahwa dia mendengar [Abu Hurairah radliallahu 'anhu] berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Allah Ta'ala telah berfirman: "Setiap amal anak Adam adalah untuknya kecuali shaum, sesungguhnya shaum itu untuk Aku dan Aku sendiri yang akan memberi balasannya.

Dan shaum itu adalah benteng, maka apabila suatu hari seorang dari kalian sedang melaksanakan shaum, maka janganlah dia berkata rafats dan bertengkar sambil berteriak. Jika ada orang lain yang menghinanya atau mengajaknya berkelahi maka hendaklah dia mengatakan 'Aku orang yang sedang shaum. Dan demi Dzat yang jiwa Muhammad berada di tanganNya, sungguh bau mulut orang yang sedang shaum lebih harum di sisi Allah Ta'ala dari pada harumnya minyak misik.

Dan untuk orang yang shaum akan mendapatkan dua kegembiraan yang dia akan bergembira dengan keduanya, yaitu apabila berbuka dia bergembira dan apabila berjumpa dengan Rabnya dia bergembira disebabkan 'ibadah shaumnya itu

Ebu Hureyre'den nakledildiğine göre Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurmuştur: "Allah Teala şöyle buyurdu: Oruç dışında insanların işlemiş olduğu bütün amelleri kendileri içindir. Oruç ise benim içindir ve onun karşılığını bizzat ben veririm. Oruç bir kalkandır, içinizden biri oruçlu olduğu gün oruca uygun olmayan işler yapmasın ve bağırıp çağırarak kavga etmesin!

Eğer birisi kendisine söverse veya kendisi ile kavga etmeye yeltenirse 'Ben oruçluyum' desin! Canımı elinde bulunduran Allah'a yemin ederim ki oruçlunun ağzının kokusu Allah katında misk'in kokusundan daha güzel kokar. Oruçlunun iki sevinç anı vardır: Orucunu açtığı zaman iftar vaktinde sevinir ve Rabbine kavuştuğu zaman tuttuğu oruç dolayısıyla sevinç duyar

Sahih al-Bukhari 1904, Book 30, Fasting, Hadith 14. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that Allah Almighty says in the Qudsi Hadīth: Every righteous deed offered by the son of Adam is multiplied by ten up to seven hundred times, except for fasting, which is for Me, as it does not involve ostentation, and I give reward for it. So, none but Me knows how great its reward is and how many times it is multiplied. Then he said: (Fasting is a shield), protection, shelter, and a fortified fort against the Fire because it is all about abstaining from desires and committing sins, and the Fire is surrounded with desires. (When it is the day when any of you is fasting, let him not engage in obscenity) at all through sexual intercourse and foreplay or through any obscene speech. (And let him not speak in a loud voice) by quarreling and shouting. (If anyone insults him or fights with him) in Ramadan, let him say: I am a fasting person; perhaps this will deter him.

However, if he insists on real fighting, he should expel him with the least violent means first. Then the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) swore by the One in Whose Hand that his soul is that the foul breath of the fasting person resulting from fasting is more pleasant than the smell of musk in the sight of Allah on the Day of Judgment and is a means of receiving a greater reward than that of the musk,

which is recommended to be used on Fridays and during the Dhikr (remembrance of Allah) sessions. The fasting person will have two occasions to rejoice: when breaking his fast, he rejoices at breaking his fast that eliminates his hunger and thirst; and he rejoices at completing his fast and accomplishing his act of worship, at the alleviation from his act of worship to his Lord, and at the strength it provides him with for his future fasting. (And when he meets his Lord, he rejoices at his fast), i.e., at its recompense and reward.

What it teaches

  • The merit of fasting is that it protects the one who observes it from desires in this worldly life and from the punishment of the Fire in the Hereafter.
  • Abandoning obscene speech and idle talk, enduring people's offense patiently, and responding to their abuse with patience and kindness are among the manners of fasting.
  • When a fasting person or a worshipper rejoices for completing and finishing his act of worship, this does not diminish his reward in the Hereafter.
  • Ultimate happiness is achieved by meeting Allah Almighty when the patient and those who used to observe fast will be given their reward without measure.
  • Informing people of an act of obedience, in case of necessity and benefit, is not deemed ostentation when one says: "I am fasting."
  • The person whose fasting is perfect is he whose limbs abstain from sins, whose tongue abstains from lying, obscene speech, and words of falsehood, and whose stomach abstains from food and drink.
  • Emphasis on the prohibition of noise, quarreling, and shouting during the fast, as the non-fasting person is also prohibited from such things.
  • This Hadīth is part of what the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) narrates from his Lord, and it is called Qudsi or Divine Hadīth. Its wording and meaning are from Allah, yet it does not have the unique characteristics of the Qur'an, including reciting it as a form of worship, getting purified for it, presenting it as a challenge, its miraculousness, etc.
