حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، وَالأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رضى الله عنه

قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْجَنَّةُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَى أَحَدِكُمْ مِنْ شِرَاكِ نَعْلِهِ، وَالنَّارُ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Paradise is nearer to any of you than the Shirak (leather strap) of his shoe, and so is the (Hell) Fire.”

‘আবদুল্লাহ্ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ জান্নাত তোমাদের জুতার ফিতার চেয়েও বেশি নিকটে আর জাহান্নামও সেই রকম।[1]

ہم سے موسیٰ بن مسعود نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے سفیان نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے منصور اور اعمش نے بیان کیا، ان سے ابووائل نے بیان کیا اور ان سے عبداللہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے بیان کیا کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”جنت تمہارے جوتے کے تسمے سے بھی زیادہ تمہارے قریب ہے اور اسی طرح دوزخ بھی۔“

Telah menceritakan kepadaku [Musa bin Mas'ud] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sufyan] dari [Manshur] dan [Al A'masy] dari [Abu Wail] dari [Abdullah] radliallahu 'anhu menuturkan, Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Surga lebih dekat kepada salah seorang dari kalian daripada tali sandalnya, neraka juga seperti itu

Abdullah bin Mes’ud'un nakline göre Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem): "Cennet sizin her birinize kendi ayağındaki nalınının tasmasından daha yakındır. Cehennem de bunun gibidir" buyurmuştur

Sahih al-Bukhari 6488, Book 81, To make the Heart Tender (Ar-Riqaq), Hadith 77. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that Paradise and Hellfire are so close to people like their shoelaces, which lie above their feet. This is because a person may perform a good deed that pleases Allah Almighty and causes him to enter Paradise or commit a sin that leads him to Hellfire.

What it teaches

  • This encourages us to do good, even if it's a little, and warns us against evil, even if it's a little.
  • In his life, a Muslim should combine hope and fear and constantly implore Allah Almighty to make him steadfast to the truth, so that he can be safe and keep away from self-conceit.
