حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه عَنِ

النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ثَلَاثَةٌ أَنَا خَصْمُهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ رَجُلٌ أَعْطَى بِي ثُمَّ غَدَرَ، وَرَجُلٌ بَاعَ حُرًّا فَأَكَلَ ثَمَنَهُ، وَرَجُلٌ اسْتَأْجَرَ أَجِيرًا فَاسْتَوْفَى مِنْهُ وَلَمْ يُعْطِهِ أَجْرَهُ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Allah said, ‘I will be an opponent to three types of people on the Day of Resurrection: -1. One who makes a covenant in My Name, but proves treacherous; -2. One who sells a free person and eats his price; and -3. One who employs a laborer and takes full work from him but does not pay him for his lab our.’”

আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন, আল্লাহ তা‘আলা বলেন, আমি কিয়ামতের দিন তিন ব্যক্তির বিরোধী থাকব। তাদের এক ব্যক্তি হল, যে আমার নামে প্রতিজ্ঞা করল, তারপর তা ভঙ্গ করল। আরেক ব্যক্তি হল, যে আযাদ মানুষ বিক্রি করে তার মূল্য ভোগ করে। অপর এক ব্যক্তি হল, যে কোন লোককে মজদুর নিয়োগ করল এবং তার হতে কাজ পুরোপুরি আদায় করল, অথচ তার পারিশ্রমিক দিল না। (২২২৭)

ہم سے یوسف بن محمد نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ مجھ سے یحییٰ بن سلیم نے بیان کیا، ان سے اسماعیل بن امیہ نے، ان سے سعید بن ابی سعید نے اور ان سے ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے بتلایا کہ اللہ تعالیٰ کا فرمان ہے کہ تین قسم کے لوگ ایسے ہیں کہ جن کا قیامت میں میں خود مدعی بنوں گا۔

ایک تو وہ شخص جس نے میرے نام پہ عہد کیا، اور پھر وعدہ خلافی کی۔ دوسرا وہ جس نے کسی آزاد آدمی کو بیچ کر اس کی قیمت کھائی اور تیسرا وہ شخص جس نے کسی کو مزدور کیا، پھر کام تو اس سے پورا لیا، لیکن اس کی مزدوری نہ دی۔

Telah menceritakan kepada saya [Yusuf bin Muhammad] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada saya [Yahya bin Sulaim] dari [Isma'il bin Umayyah] dari [Sa'id bin Abi Sa'id] dari [Abu Hurairah radliallahu 'anhu] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Allah Ta'ala berfirman: Ada tiga jenis orang yag aku berperang melawan mereka pada hari qiyamat, seseorang yang bersumpah atas namaku lalu mengingkarinya, seseorang yang berjualan orang merdeka lalu memakan (uang dari) harganya dan seseorang yang memperkerjakan pekerja kemudian pekerja itu menyelesaikan pekerjaannya namun tidak dibayar upahnya

Ebu Hureyre'nin rivayet ettiğine göre Nebiimiz Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurmuştur: "Allah (C.C.) buyurdu ki: Şu üç kimsenin kıyamet günü davacısı ben olacağım: (Birincisi) Benim adıma yemin edip de aldatan (sözünü yerine getirmeyen); (ikincisi) hür bir kimseyi satıp parasını yiyen; (üçüncüsü) bir işçi tutup ondan istifade edip de ücretini vermeyen kimsedir

What it means

The Prophet (ﷺ) informed that Allah Almighty said: There are three types of people I will be hostile to them on the Day of Judgment—and whomever I was hostile to, I will overpower and defeat him: First: one who gives his oath, swears by Allah, and makes a covenant, then breaks it and betrays. Second: one who sells a free man as if he were a slave, consumes his price, and disposes of his value.

Third: one who hires a worker for a task, takes full work from him, but does not pay him his due wages.

What it teaches

  • This Hadīth is part of what the Prophet (ﷺ) narrated from his Lord, and it is called a Qudsi or divine Hadīth. Its wording and meaning are from Allah; however, it does not possess the unique characteristics of the Qur'an, which include reciting it as a form of worship, requiring ritual purity, presenting it as a challenge, its miraculousness, and others.
  • As-Sindi said: It has been said that mentioning these three is not for restriction, for Allah Almighty is the opponent of all wrongdoers—rather, it is to emphasize the severity of these three cases.
  • Ibn al-Jawzi said: The free man is a servant of Allah; so whoever wrongs him, his adversary is his Master—Allah Himself.
  • Al-Khattābi said: The enslavement of a free man occurs in two ways—first, that one frees him and then conceals or denies it; and second, that one forces him to serve after being freed. The first is more severe. I said: The Hadīth in question is even more severe, for it involves not only concealing or denying the man's freedom, but also acting upon that denial by selling him and consuming the price—hence the punishment is greater.
