حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ

أَتَيْنَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ شَبَبَةٌ مُتَقَارِبُونَ، فَأَقَمْنَا عِنْدَهُ عِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا وَلَيْلَةً، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَحِيمًا رَفِيقًا، فَلَمَّا ظَنَّ أَنَّا قَدِ اشْتَهَيْنَا أَهْلَنَا أَوْ قَدِ اشْتَقْنَا سَأَلَنَا عَمَّنْ تَرَكْنَا بَعْدَنَا فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ قَالَ: «ارْجِعُوا إِلَى أَهْلِيكُمْ فَأَقِيمُوا فِيهِمْ وَعَلِّمُوهُمْ وَمُرُوهُمْ وَذَكَرَ أَشْيَاءَ أَحْفَظُهَا أَوْ لَا أَحْفَظُهَا وَصَلُّوا كَمَا رَأَيْتُمُونِي أُصَلِّي، فَإِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَلْيُؤَذِّنْ لَكُمْ أَحَدُكُمْ وَلْيَؤُمَّكُمْ أَكْبَرُكُمْ»

We came to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and stayed with him for twenty days and nights. We were all young and of about the same age. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was very kind and merciful.

When he realized our longing for our families, he asked about our homes and the people there and we told him. Then he asked us to go back to our families and stay with them and teach them (the religion) and to order them to do good things. He also mentioned some other things which I have (remembered or [??]) forgotten.

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) then added, “Pray as you have seen me praying and when it is the time for the prayer one of you should pronounce the Adhan and the oldest of you should lead the prayer.”

মালিক (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমরা সমবয়সী একদল যুবক নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -এর নিকট হাযির হলাম। বিশদিন ও বিশ রাত আমরা তাঁর নিকট অবস্থান করলাম। আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম অত্যন্ত দয়ালু ও নরম স্বভাবের লোক ছিলেন। তিনি যখন বুঝতে পারলেন যে, আমরা আমাদের পরিজনের নিকট ফিরে যেতে চাই বা ফিরে যাওয়ার জন্য উৎসুক হয়ে পড়েছি, তখন তিনি আমাদের জিজ্ঞেস করলেন, আমরা আমাদের পিছনে কাদের রেখে এসেছি।

আমরা তাঁকে জানালাম। অতঃপর তিনি বললেনঃ তোমরা তোমাদের পরিজনের নিকট ফিরে যাও এবং তাদের মধ্যে বসবাস কর। আর তাদের (দ্বীন) শিক্ষা দাও, এবং (সৎ কাজের) নির্দেশ দাও।

(বর্ণনাকারী বলেন) মালিক (রাযি) আরও কয়েকটি বিষয় উল্লেখ করেছিলেন যা আমার মনে আছে বা মনে নেই। অতঃপর নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছিলেনঃ তোমরা আমাকে যেভাবে সালাত আদায় করতে দেখেছ সেভাবে সালাত আদায় করবে। সালাতের সময় উপস্থিত হলে তোমাদের একজন যেন আযান দেয় এবং যে ব্যক্তি বয়সে বড় সে যেন তোমাদের ইমামত করে। (৬২৮)

ہم سے محمد بن مثنیٰ نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ ہمیں عبدالوہاب نے خبر دی، کہا کہ ہمیں ابوایوب سختیانی نے ابوقلابہ سے خبر دی، انہوں نے کہا کہ ہم سے مالک بن حویرث نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ ہم نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی خدمت اقدس میں حاضر ہوئے۔ ہم سب ہم عمر اور نوجوان ہی تھے۔

آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی خدمت مبارک میں ہمارا بیس دن و رات قیام رہا۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم بڑے ہی رحم دل اور ملنسار تھے۔ جب آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے دیکھا کہ ہمیں اپنے وطن واپس جانے کا شوق ہے تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے پوچھا کہ تم لوگ اپنے گھر کسے چھوڑ کر آئے ہو۔

ہم نے بتایا۔ پھر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ اچھا اب تم اپنے گھر جاؤ اور ان گھر والوں کے ساتھ رہو اور انہیں بھی دین سکھاؤ اور دین کی باتوں پر عمل کرنے کا حکم کرو۔

مالک نے بہت سی چیزوں کا ذکر کیا جن کے متعلق ابوایوب نے کہا کہ ابوقلابہ نے یوں کہا وہ باتیں مجھ کو یاد ہیں یا یوں کہا مجھ کو یاد نہیں۔ اور نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ اسی طرح نماز پڑھنا جیسے تم نے مجھے نماز پڑھتے ہوئے دیکھا ہے اور جب نماز کا وقت آ جائے تو کوئی ایک اذان دے اور جو تم میں سب سے بڑا ہو وہ نماز پڑھائے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Al Mutsanna] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Abdul Wahhab] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ayyub] dari [Abu Qilabah] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Malik], "Kami datang menemui Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, saat itu kami adalah para pemuda yang usianya sebaya.

Maka kami tinggal bersama beliau selama dua puluh hari dua puluh malam. Beliau adalah seorang yang sangat penuh kasih dan lembut. Ketika beliau menganggap bahwa kami telah ingin, atau merindukan keluarga kami, beliau bertanya kepada kami tentang orang yang kami tinggalkan. Maka kami pun mengabarkannya kepada beliau.

Kemudian beliau bersabda: "Kembalilah kepada keluarga kalian dan tinggallah bersama mereka, ajarilah mereka dan perintahkan (untuk shalat)." Beliau lantas menyebutkan sesuatu yang aku pernah ingat lalu lupa. Beliau mengatakan: "Shalatlah kalian seperti kalian melihat aku shalat. Maka jika waktu shalat sudah tiba, hendaklah salah seorang dari kalian mengumandangkan adzan, dan hendaklah yang menjadi Imam adalah yang paling tua di antara kalian

Malik (r.a.)'den şöyle nakledilmiştir: "Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in yanına geldik. O esnada yaşları birbirine yakın gençlerdik. Yanında yirmi gün yirmi gece kaldık. Allah Resulü çok merhametli ve yumuşak kalpli biriydi. Ailelerimizi özlediğimizi anlayınca geride bıraktıklarımız hakkında bize soru sordu. Biz de cevapladık.

Sonra Ailelerinizin yanına dönün. Onlar arasında yaşayın, onlara dinlerini öğretip (Allah'ın emirlerini) emredin, (Ravi der ki: Bu emirlerin ne olduğunu söylemişti, fakat ben unuttum.) beni nasıl namaz kılarken gördüyseniz öylece namaz kılın, namaz vakti gelince sizin için biriniz ezan okusun ve en büyüğünüz namaz kıldırsın, buyurdu

What it means

Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "We came to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) when we were young and of about the same age.” That was in the Year of Delegations, 9 A.H. They were young men and they stayed with the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) for twenty nights. They came to him to learn the religion of Allah.

Mālik said: "The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was merciful and compassionate. He realized our longing for our families. He asked us about our families whom we had left behind and we told him about them.

Thereupon, he said: "Go back to your people and stay with them. Teach them (religion) and command them (to adhere to it), pray so-and-so prayer at so-and-so time, and when prayer becomes due, let one of you pronounce the Adhān and let the eldest among you lead you in prayer." Another version by Al-Bukhāri adds: “Pray as you saw me pray.” This indicates that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was famous for his mercy and compassion.

He was the most merciful and the most compassionate among people towards people. When he perceived their longing for their families and asked them about their people whom they had left behind and they informed him about them, he ordered them to return home. "And let the eldest among you lead you in prayer" points out that older one should take precedence when it comes to leading prayer.

And by the way, this does not contradict the Prophet’s statement: "Let the best reciter of the Book of Allah among the people lead them in prayer.” This is because these young men came to the Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) at the same time and apparently there was no significant difference between them in terms of the Qur’an’s recitation.

Hence, he said: "And let the eldest among you lead you in prayer", because they were equal, or almost equal, in reciting the Qur’an. If they were the same in terms of reciting the Qur’an, knowledge of the Sunnah, and making the Hijrah, then the eldest among them should take precedence and lead the prayer. His statement "Pray as you saw me pray" confirms the fact that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) used to teach people their religion by words and deeds.

For example, he taught the man who offered prayer hastily, saying: "When you get up to pray, perform ablution perfectly, stand facing the Qiblah, make Takbīr, recite some of what you memorize of the Qur’an, and then bow down." In the case of those young men, he chose to teach by deeds.
