حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ وَهْبٍ، سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ رضى الله عنه حَدَّثَنَا

رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهْوَ الصَّادِقُ الْمَصْدُوقُ «إِنَّ خَلْقَ أَحَدِكُمْ يُجْمَعُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، ثُمَّ يَكُونُ عَلَقَةً مِثْلَهُ، ثُمَّ يَكُونُ مُضْغَةً مِثْلَهُ، ثُمَّ يُبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِ الْمَلَكُ فَيُؤْذَنُ بِأَرْبَعِ كَلِمَاتٍ،

فَيَكْتُبُ رِزْقَهُ وَأَجَلَهُ وَعَمَلَهُ وَشَقِيٌّ أَمْ سَعِيدٌ ثُمَّ يَنْفُخُ فِيهِ الرُّوحَ، فَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، حَتَّى لَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَهُ إِلاَّ ذِرَاعٌ، فَيَسْبِقُ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابُ، فَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَيَدْخُلُ النَّارَ، وَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَعْمَلُ بِعَمَلِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ، حَتَّى مَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَهُ إِلاَّ ذِرَاعٌ فَيَسْبِقُ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابُ، فَيَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَدْخُلُهَا»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) the true and truly inspired, narrated to us, “The creation of everyone of you starts with the process of collecting the material for his body within forty days and forty nights in the womb of his mother. Then he becomes a clot of thick blood for a similar period (40 days) and then he becomes like a piece of flesh for a similar period.

Then an angel is sent to him (by Allah) and the angel is allowed (ordered) to write four things; his livelihood, his (date of) death, his deeds, and whether he will be a wretched one or a blessed one (in the Hereafter) and then the soul is breathed into him. So one of you may do (good) deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise so much that there is nothing except a cubit between him and Paradise but then what has been written for him decides his behavior and he starts doing (evil) deeds characteristic of the people of Hell (Fire) and (ultimately) enters Hell (Fire); and one of you may do (evil) deeds characteristic of the people of Hell (Fire) so much so that there is nothing except a cubit between him and Hell (Fire), then what has been written for him decides his behavior and he starts doing (good) deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise and ultimately) enters Paradise.”

‘আবদুল্লাহ্ ইবনু মাস‘ঊদ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ্ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম যিনি ‘সত্যবাদী’ এবং ‘সত্যবাদী বলে স্বীকৃত’ আমাদের কাছে বর্ণনা করেছেন যে, তোমাদের প্রত্যেকের সৃষ্টি হলো এমন বীর্য থেকে যাকে মায়ের পেটে চল্লিশ দিন কিংবা চল্লিশ রাত একত্রিত রাখা হয়। তারপর তেমনি সময়ে আলাক হয়, তারপর তেমনি সময়ে গোশতপিন্ডে পরিণত হয়।

তারপর আল্লাহ্ তার কাছে ফেরেশতা প্রেরণ করেন। এই ফেরেশতাকে চারটি বিষয় সম্পর্কে লেখার করার জন্য হুকুম দেয়া হয়। যার ফলে ফেরেশেতা তার রিযক, ‘আমল, আয়ু এবং দুর্ভাগা কিংবা ভাগ্যবান হওয়া সম্পর্কে লিখে দেয়। তারপর তার মধ্যে প্রাণ ফুঁকে দেয়া হয়। এজন্যই তোমাদের কেউ জান্নাতীদের ‘আমল করে এতটুকু এগিয়ে যায় যে, তার ও জান্নাতের মাঝে কেবল এক গজের দূরত্ব থাকতেই তার ওপর লিখিত তাক্দীর প্রবল হয়ে যায়।

তখন সে জাহান্নামীদের ‘আমল করে। শেষে সে জাহান্নামে প্রবেশ করে। আবার তোমাদের কেউ জাহান্নামীদের মত ‘আমল করে এমন পর্যায়ে পৌঁছে যে, তার ও জাহান্নামের মাঝে মাত্র এক গজের দূরত্ব থাকতে তার উপর তাকদীরের লেখা প্রবল হয়, ফলে সে জান্নাতীদের মত ‘আমল করে, শেষে জান্নাতেই প্রবেশ করে। [৩২০৮]

ہم سے آدم بن ابی ایاس نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے شعبہ نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے اعمش نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا زید بن وہب سے سنا اور انہوں نے عبداللہ بن مسعود رضی اللہ عنہ سے سنا کہ ہم سے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے بیان فرمایا جو صادق و مصدق ہیں کہ انسان کا نطفہ ماں کے پیٹ میں چالیس دن اور راتوں تک جمع رہتا ہے پھر وہ خون کی پھٹکی بن جاتا ہے، پھر وہ گوشت کا لوتھڑا ہو جاتا ہے پھر اس کے بعد فرشتہ بھیجا جاتا ہے اور اسے چار چیزوں کا حکم ہوتا ہے۔

چنانچہ وہ اس کی روزی، اس کی موت، اس کا عمل اور یہ کہ وہ بدبخت ہے یا نیک بخت لکھ لیتا ہے۔ پھر اس میں روح پھونکتا ہے اور تم میں سے ایک شخص جنت والوں کے سے عمل کرتا ہے اور جب اس کے اور جنت کے درمیان صرف ایک ہاتھ کا فرق رہ جاتا ہے تو اس کی تقدیر غالب آتی ہے اور وہ دوزخ والوں کے عمل کرنے لگتا ہے اور دوزخ میں داخل ہوتا ہے۔

اسی طرح ایک شخص دوزخ والوں کے عمل کرتا ہے اور جب اس کے اور دوزخ کے درمیان صرف ایک بالشت کا فاصلہ رہ جاتا ہے تو تقدیر غالب آتی ہے اور جنت والوں کے کام کرنے لگتا ہے، پھر جنت میں داخل ہوتا ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Adam] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syu'bah] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al A'masy] aku mendengar [Zaid bin Wahb] aku mendengar ['Abdullah bin Mas'ud] radliyallahu'anhu, telah menceritakan kepada kami Rasulullah Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam yang beliau adalah seorang yang jujur menyampaikan, dan berita yang disampaikan kepadanya adalah benar,

bahwa penciptaan salah seorang diantara kalian dihimpun dalam perut ibunya selama empat puluh hari, atau empat puluh malam, kemudian menjadi segumpal darah dalam empat puluh hari berikutnya, kemudian menjadi segumpal daging dalam empat puluh hari berikutnya, kemudian Allah mengutus malaikat kepadanya dan memerintahkan untuk menetapkan empat kalimat (empat hal); tentang rejekinya, ajalnya, amalnya, sengsara ataukah bahagia.

Kemudian Allah meniupkan ruh padanya, sungguh ada salah seorang diantara kalian yang melakukan amalan-amalan penghuni surga hingga tak ada jarak antara dia dan surga selain sehasta, namun kemudian takdir telah mendahului dia, lantas ia pun melakukan amalan penghuni neraka dan akhirnya masuk neraka. Dan sungguh ada salah seorang diantara kalian yang melakukan amalan penghuni neraka, hingga tak ada jarak antara dia dan neraka selain sehasta, namun kemudian takdir mendahuluinya, lantas ia pun mengamalkan amalan penghuni surga sehingga ia memasukinya

Abdullah b. Mesud şöyle anlatmıştır: Bize kendisi doğru sözlü, kendisine de doğru bildirilen Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle dedi: "Her birinizin yaratılışı şöyle olur: Kişi anasının karnında kırk gün ve kırk gece toplanır. Sonra o maddeler bir kan pıhtısı halini alır. Sonra yine o kadar zaman içinde mudğaya yani bir çiğnem ete dönüşür.

Sonra ona bir melek gönderilir ve ona dört kelamı yazmasına izin verilir. Melek de onun rızkını, ecelini, işini, şaki (bedbaht) ve said (mutlu) olacağını yazar. Sonra ona ruh üfler. Herhangi biriniz kendisiyle cennet arasında ancak bir zira mesafe oluncaya kadar cennet ehlinin ameliyle amel eder. Sonunda (meleğin ana karnında yazdığı) yazı onun önüne geçer de bunun üzerine o kişi cehennem ehlinin ameliyle iş yapar ve cehenneme girer.

Yine sizden biriniz kendisiyle cehennem arasında bir zira mesafe kalıncaya kadar hep cehennem ehlinin işini işler, sonunda (meleğin ana karnında yazdığı) yazısı onun önüne geçer de artık cennet ehlinin işini yapar ve cennete girer

What it means

Ibn Mas‘ūd reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) related to us, and he is the truthful one in his speech, and the trusted one, as Allah Almighty endorsed him.

He said: The creation of each one of you is brought together. When a man copulates with his wife, his scattered semen is brought together in the woman's womb as a sperm-drop for forty days. Then, he becomes a clinging clot for another forty days. Then, he becomes a lump, which is a piece of chewable flesh, for a third period of forty days.

Then, Allah sends to him the angel, who breathes life into him after the end of the third period. The angel is commanded to write four things: his sustenance, which is the amount of bliss he will gain during his lifetime; his lifespan, which is the duration of his stay in this world; and his deeds, as to what they will be; and whether he will be miserable or happy.

Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) swore that a person might perform the righteous deeds of the people of Paradise, as they outwardly seem, and he continues in this state until there is only an arm's length (a cubit) between him and Paradise; that is, only a cubit separates him from reaching Paradise.

But then destiny overtakes him, and thereupon he performs the deeds of the people of Hellfire, and they become his last deeds, and so he enters Hellfire. This is because it is required for a person's virtuous deeds to be accepted and that he continues to do them and not change course. There is another type of people, who perform the deeds of the people of Hellfire until they are close to entering it, as if only a cubit is separating between them.

But then destiny overtakes them, and they begin to perform the deeds of Paradise, and they enter it.

What it teaches

  • The outcome of things goes in the course determined by divine decree and predestination.
  • The Hadīth warns us of getting deceived by the appearance of deeds, for deeds are only judged by their endings.
