حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَيْسَ الشَّدِيدُ بِالصُّرَعَةِ، إِنَّمَا الشَّدِيدُ الَّذِي يَمْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ عِنْدَ الْغَضَبِ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one who controls himself while in anger.”

আবূ হুরাইরাহ হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ প্রকৃত বীর সে নয়, যে কাউকে কুস্তিতে হারিয়ে দেয়। বরং সেই আসল বীর, যে রাগের সময় নিজেকে নিয়ন্ত্রণে রাখতে পারে। [মুসলিম ৪৫/৩০, হাঃ ২৬০৯, আহমাদ ৭২২৩]

ہم سے عبداللہ بن یوسف نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم کو امام مالک نے خبر دی، انہیں ابن شہاب نے، انہیں سعید بن مسیب نے اور انہیں ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”پہلوان وہ نہیں ہے جو کشتی لڑنے میں غالب ہو جائے بلکہ اصلی پہلوان تو وہ ہے جو غصہ کی حالت میں اپنے آپ پر قابو پائے بے قابو نہ ہو جائے۔“

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Yusuf] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Malik] dari [Ibnu Syihab] dari [Sa'id bin Musayyib] dari [Abu Hurairah] radliallahu 'anhu bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Tidaklah orang yang kuat adalah orang yang pandai bergulat, tapi orang yang kuat adalah orang yang dapat menahan nafsunya ketika ia marah

Ebu Hureyre r.a.'dan rivayete göre; "Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurdu: Güçlü, kuvvetli kişi rakiplerinin sırtını yerine getiren kişi değildir. Asıl güçlü kuvvetli kişi, öfkelendiği vakit nefsine hakim olabilendir

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) points out that true strength is not the strength of a person's body or his ability to overpower other strong men. But a truly strong person is one who strives to control and restrain himself while in a fit of rage. This indicates the power he exercises over himself and his ability to overpower the devil.

What it teaches

  • The Hadīth points out the merit of forbearance and self-restraint while in anger and that it is one of the righteous acts encouraged by Islam.
  • Self-restraint in the moment of anger is more difficult than striving against the enemy.
  • Islam has transformed the jāhiliyyah (ignorance) notion of strength into noble manners. The most powerful person is he who maintains great self-restraint.
  • We should avoid anger, given its harmful effects on individuals as well as society.
