حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه عَنِ

النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الإِيمَانُ بِضْعٌ وَسِتُّونَ شُعْبَةً، وَالْحَيَاءُ شُعْبَةٌ مِنَ الإِيمَانِ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Faith (Belief) consists of more than sixty branches (i.e. parts). And Haya (This term ‘Haya’ covers a large number of concepts which are to be taken together; amongst them are self respect, modesty, bashfulness, and scruple, etc.) is a part of faith.”

আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন, ঈমানের ষাটেরও অধিক শাখা আছে। আর লজ্জা হচ্ছে ঈমানের একটি শাখা। (মুসলিম ১/১২ হাঃ ৩৫, আহমাদ ৯৩৭২)

ہم سے بیان کیا عبداللہ بن محمد جعفی نے، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے بیان کیا ابوعامر عقدی نے، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے بیان کیا سلیمان بن بلال نے، انہوں نے عبداللہ بن دینار سے، انہوں نے روایت کیا ابوصالح سے، انہوں نے نقل کیا ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ سے، انہوں نے نقل فرمایا جناب نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ ایمان کی ساٹھ سے کچھ اوپر شاخیں ہیں۔ اور حیاء ( شرم ) بھی ایمان کی ایک شاخ ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Muhammad Al Ju'fi] dia berkata, Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu 'Amir Al 'Aqadi] yang berkata, bahwa Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sulaiman bin Bilal] dari [Abdullah bin Dinar] dari [Abu Shalih] dari [Abu Hurairah] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, beliau bersabda: "Iman memiliki lebih dari enam puluh cabang, dan malu adalah bagian dari iman

Ebu Hureyre r.a. şöyle demiştir: Nebiyy-i Muhterem sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem buyurdu ki: İman altmış bu kadar şu`bedir. Haya da iman’ın bir şu`besidir

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that faith consists of many branches and elements comprising various deeds, beliefs, and words. And he states that the best and most sublime among the elements of faith is to say "there is no god but Allah" while knowing its meaning and acting according to it - that Allah is the One true God Who is worthy of worship,

alone, and apart from all else. And that the lowest act of faith is to remove any object harmful to people from their ways. Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that modesty is one of the elements of faith, and it is a character trait that prompts one to do what is good and deters him from doing what is evil.

What it teaches

  • Faith comprises various levels, some of which are higher than others.
  • Faith consists of words, deeds, and beliefs.
  • Modesty towards Allah entails that He should not see you where He prohibited you from, or miss you where He commanded you to be.
  • Mention of the number does not mean faith is limited to these, but it indicates that the acts of faith are many. In fact, the Arabs may specify a number for something without intending to negate other than that.
