حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ذَكْوَانَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه عَنِ

النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ تَرَدَّى مِنْ جَبَلٍ فَقَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ، فَهْوَ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ، يَتَرَدَّى فِيهِ خَالِدًا مُخَلَّدًا فِيهَا أَبَدًا، وَمَنْ تَحَسَّى سَمًّا فَقَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ، فَسَمُّهُ فِي يَدِهِ، يَتَحَسَّاهُ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدًا مُخَلَّدًا فِيهَا أَبَدًا، وَمَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ بِحَدِيدَةٍ، فَحَدِيدَتُهُ فِي يَدِهِ، يَجَأُ بِهَا فِي بَطْنِهِ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدًا مُخَلَّدًا فِيهَا أَبَدًا»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Whoever purposely throws himself from a mountain and kills himself, will be in the (Hell) Fire falling down into it and abiding therein perpetually forever; and whoever drinks poison and kills himself with it, he will be carrying his poison in his hand and drinking it in the (Hell) Fire wherein he will abide eternally forever; and whoever kills himself with an iron weapon, will be carrying that weapon in his hand and stabbing his Abdomen with it in the (Hell) Fire wherein he will abide eternally forever.”

আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ যে লোক পাহাড়ের উপর থেকে লাফিয়ে পড়ে আত্মহত্যা করে, সে জাহান্নামের আগুনে পুড়বে, চিরকাল সে জাহান্নামের ভিতর ঐভাবে লাফিয়ে পড়তে থাকবে। যে লোক বিষপানে আত্মহত্যা করবে, তার বিষ জাহান্নামের আগুনের মধ্যে তার হাতে থাকবে, চিরকাল সে জাহান্নামের মধ্যে তা পান করতে থাকবে।

যে লোক লোহার আঘাতে আত্মহত্যা করবে, জাহান্নামের আগুনের ভিতর সে লোহা তার হাতে থাকবে, চিরকাল সে তা দিয়ে নিজের পেটে আঘাত করতে থাকবে। [১৩৬৫; মুসলিম ১/৪৭, হাঃ ১০৯, আহমাদ ১০৩৪১০]

ہم سے عبداللہ بن عبدالوہاب نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے خالد بن حارث نے بیان کیا، ان سے شعبہ نے بیان کیا، ان سے سلیمان نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ میں نے ذکوان سے سنا، وہ ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ سے یہ حدیث بیان کرتے تھے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ جس نے پہاڑ سے اپنے آپ کو گرا کر خودکشی کر لی وہ جہنم کی آگ میں ہو گا اور اس میں ہمیشہ پڑا رہے گا اور جس نے زہر پی کر خودکشی کر لی وہ زہر اس کے ساتھ میں ہو گا اور جہنم کی آگ میں وہ اسے اسی طرح ہمیشہ پیتا رہے گا اور جس نے لوہے کے کسی ہتھیار سے خودکشی کر لی تو اس کا ہتھیار اس کے ساتھ میں ہو گا اور جہنم کی آگ میں ہمیشہ کے لیے وہ اسے اپنے پیٹ میں مارتا رہے گا۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Abdul Wahhab] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Khalid bin Al Harits] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syu'bah] dari [Sulaiman] dia berkata; saya mendengar [Dzakwan] menceritakan dari [Abu Hurairah] radliallahu 'anhu dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam beliau bersabda: "Barangsiapa menjatuhkan diri dari gunung, hingga membunuh jiwanya (bunuh diri), maka ia akan jatuh ke neraka jahannam, ia kekal serta abadi di dalamnya selama-lamanya.

Barangsiapa menegak racun, hingga meninggal dunia, maka racun tersebut akan berada di tangannya, dan ia akan menegaknya di neraka jahannam, ia kekal serta abadi di dalamnya selama-lamanya. Dan barang siapa bunuh diri dengan (menusuk dirinya dengan) besi, maka besi itu akan ada di tangannya, dengannya ia akan menghujamkan ke perutnya di neraka jahannam, ia kekal dan abadi di dalamnya selama-lamanya

Ebu Hureyre r.a.'dan rivayete göre Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurdu: "Her kim kendini bir dağdan aşağı atar da kendisini öldürürse cehennem ateşinde, orada ebedi olarak ve ebediyen bırakılarak kendisini yüksekten atar, durur. Kim bir zehir içip kendisini öldürürse cehennem ateşinde, orada ebedi olarak ve ebediyen bırakılarak zehri elinde içip duracaktır.

Kim kendisini bir demir ile öldürürse cehennem ateşinde orada ebedi kalarak ve ebediyen bırakılarak, o demiri elinde olduğu halde karnına saplar ve karnını yarar durur

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) warned against intentionally taking one's own life in this world, stating that such a person will be punished in Hellfire on the Day of Judgment in the same manner by which he ended his life, as a fitting recompense. If someone threw himself off a mountain and died, he will continuously fall from the mountains of Hellfire into its valleys, abiding therein forever.

If someone drank poison to kill himself, he will have that poison in his hand, drinking it repeatedly in Hellfire, eternally. And if someone stabbed himself in the belly with a piece of iron, he will have that piece of iron in his hand, stabbing his belly repeatedly in Hellfire, abiding therein forever.

What it teaches

  • The prohibition of a person killing himself, as it is one of the major sins that entails severe punishment.
  • What is mentioned in the Hadīth is an example of some types of self-inflicted death. However, regardless of the method of suicide, the person will be punished in the same way he took his own life. It is stated in Sahīh Al-Bukhāri that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever strangles himself will strangle himself in Hellfire, and whoever stabs himself will stab himself in Hellfire."
  • An-Nawawi said: As for the Prophet's statement: (He will be in Hellfire abiding therein eternally forever); It is said: There are several opinions: The first opinion: It refers to one who commits such an act while considering it lawful, despite knowing that it is unlawful—this person is a disbeliever, and this would be his punishment. The second opinion: The term "eternally" refers to a long duration, not literal eternity, similar to when it is said: May Allah make the king's rule eternal. The third opinion: This is indeed the punishment, but Allah Almighty, out of His generosity, has informed us that no person who dies as a Muslim will remain in Hellfire forever.
  • This is an example of the correspondence between the punishments in the Hereafter and the offenses in this world. It is derived from this that a person's harm to himself is similar to harming others in terms of sin. This is because a person does not own his soul completely; rather, it belongs to Allah Almighty, and he should only dispense with it according to what He has permitted.
