حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُمَرَ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَتَتْبَعُنَّ سَنَنَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ شِبْرًا شِبْرًا وَذِرَاعًا بِذِرَاعٍ، حَتَّى لَوْ دَخَلُوا جُحْرَ ضَبٍّ تَبِعْتُمُوهُمْ». قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَى قَالَ: «فَمَنْ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “You will follow the ways of those nations who were before you, span by span and cubit by cubit (i.e., inch by inch) so much so that even if they entered a hole of a mastigure, you would follow them.” We said, “O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)! (Do you mean) the Jews and the Christians?” He said, “Whom else?”

আবূ সা‘ঈদ খুদরী (রাঃ) নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম থেকে বর্ণনা করেন। তিনি বলেছেনঃ অবশ্য অবশ্যই তোমরা তোমাদের আগের লোকেদের নীতি-পদ্ধতিকে বিঘতে বিঘতে, হাতে হাতে অনুকরণ করবে। এমনকি তারা যদি দবের গর্তে ঢুকে, তাহলে তোমরাও তাদের অনুকরণ করবে। আমরা বললাম, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! এরা কি ইয়াহূদী ও নাসারা? তিনি বললেনঃ আর কারা?[1] [৩৪৫৬; মুসলিম ৪৭/৩, হাঃ ২৬৬৯, আহমাদ ১১৮০০]

ہم سے محمد بن عبدالعزیز نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے یمن کے ابوعمر صنعانی بیان کیا، ان سے زید بن اسلم نے، ان سے عطاء بن یسار نے اور ان سے ابو سعید خدری رضی اللہ عنہ نے بیان کیا کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”تم اپنے سے پہلی امتوں کی ایک ایک بالشت اور ایک ایک گز میں اتباع کرو گے، یہاں تک کہ اگر وہ کسی گوہ کے سوراخ میں داخل ہوئے ہوں گے تو تم اس میں بھی ان کی اتباع کرو گے۔“ ہم نے پوچھا: یا رسول اللہ! کیا یہود و نصاریٰ مراد ہیں؟ فرمایا پھر اور کون۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Abdul Aziz] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Umar Ash Shan'ani] dari Yaman dari [Zaid bin Aslam] dari ['Atha bin Yasar] dari [Abu Sa'id Al Khudzri] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, beliau bersabda: "Sungguh, engkau akan mengikuti tradisi orang-orang sebelum kalian, sehasta demi sehasta, sejengkal demi sejengkal, hingga kalaulah mereka masuk liang biawak, niscaya kalian mengikuti mereka."

Kami bertanya, "Wahai Rasulullah, Yahudi dan nasranikah?" Nabi menjawab: "Siapa lagi kalau bukan mereka?

Ebu Said el-Hudrl'nin nakline göre Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurmuştur: "Muhakkak, sizden önceki ümmetierin yoluna karış karış, arşın arşın uyacaksınız. Hatta onlar bir keler deliğine girseler sizler de onları takip edeceksiniz" buyurdu. Biz: "Ya Resulallahi Bu ümmetler Yahudilerle, Hıristiyanlar mıdır?" diye sorduk.

Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem "Başka kim olacak?" buyurdu. Fethu'l-Bari Açıklaması: "Onlardan başka kim olabilir?" Yani Fars ve Rumlardan başka kim olabilir? Çünkü onlar o zamanlar yeryüzünün en büyük krallarına, en çok nüfusa ve en geniş topraklara sahiplerdi.

"Karış karış, arşın arşın." Kadi İyad şöyle demiştir: Hadiste geçen karış, arşın, yol, keler deliğine girme gibi ifadeler şeriatın yasakladığı ve kınadığı her türlü hususta onlara uymanın temsili bir anlatımıdır.

"Başka kim olacak?" Bu soru inkar istifhamıdır. Cümlenin takdiri şöyledir: Onlardan başka kim olacak? İbn Battal şöyle demiştir: Bilmek gerekir ki Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in ümmeti kendilerinden önceki ümmetierde olduğu gibi, sonradan uydurulmuş şeylere, bid'at1ere ve heveslerine tabi olacaklardır. Birçok hadiste heva ve hevese uymanın kötü olduğu uyarısında bulunulmuş ve kıyametin ancak insanların kötülerinin başına kopacağı ve seçkin insanlar bulunduğunda dinin ayakta kalmaya devam edeceği ifade edilmiştir.

Biz de şunu ekleyelim: Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in uyarıda bulunduğu şeylerin büyük bir kısmı meydana gelmiştir. Bunların kalanları da bir gün olacaktır

Sahih al-Bukhari 7320, Book 96, Holding Fast to the Qur'an and Sunnah, Hadith 50. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs what some people from his Ummah will be like, after his time, as they would strictly follow the way of the Jews and Christians in their beliefs, deeds, habits, and traditions, span by span and cubit by cubit, even if they entered the hole of a lizard, they would enter behind them.

What it teaches

  • This is one of the signs of his prophethood, as he foretold it before it occurred, and it happened just as he said.
  • It is forbidden for Muslims to imitate the disbelievers, whether in their beliefs, acts of worship, festivals, or costumes.
  • Clarification of abstract meanings through tangible examples is one of the educational methods in Islam.
  • Dabb: an animal whose whole is extremely dark and has a nasty smell. It is from the reptiles that are frequently found in deserts. The hole of the Dabb is particularly mentioned because it is so narrow and bad, and despite this, if they entered such a bad and narrow place, they would follow them—out of following their traces and adopting their methods—and Allah is the One to be sought for help.
