حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، أَنْبَأَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا تَعَلَّمُوا الْعِلْمَ لِتُبَاهُوا بِهِ الْعُلَمَاءَ وَلَا لِتُمَارُوا بِهِ السُّفَهَاءَ وَلَا تَخَيَّرُوا بِهِ الْمَجَالِسَ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَالنَّارُ النَّارُ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Do not seek knowledge in order to show off in front of the scholars, or to argue with the foolish, and do not choose the best seat in a gathering, due to it (i.e. the knowledge which you have learned) for whoever does that, the Fire, the Fire (awaits him).”

জাবির ইবনু আবদুল্লাহ (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেনঃ তোমরা আলিমদের উপর বাহাদুরী প্রকাশের জন্য, নির্বোধদের সাথে ঝগড়া করার জন্য এবং জনসভার উপর বড়ত্ব প্রকাশ করার জন্য ধর্মীয় জ্ঞান শিক্ষা করো না। যে ব্যাক্তি এরূপ করবে, তার জন্য রয়েছে আগুন আর আগুন।

جابر بن عبداللہ رضی اللہ عنہما کہتے ہیں کہ نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: تم علم کو علماء پر فخر کرنے یا کم عقلوں سے بحث و تکرار کے لیے نہ سیکھو، اور علم دین کو مجالس میں اچھے مقام کے حصول کا ذریعہ نہ بناؤ، جس نے ایسا کیا تو اس کے لیے جہنم ہے، جہنم ۱؎۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Yahya] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Abu Maryam] berkata, telah memberitakan kepada kami [Yahya bin Ayyub] dari [Ibnu Juraij] dari [Abu Zubair] dari [Jabir bin Abdullah] bahwa Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Janganlah kalian mempelajari ilmu untuk mendebat para ulama, meremehkan orang-orang bodoh dan menghiasi majelis. Barangsiapa melakukan hal itu, maka baginya neraka, baginya neraka

Cabir bin Abdillah r.a.’den Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurdu,dediği rivayet olunmuştur: '' Ne alimlere karşı iftihar ve övünmek için, ne de cahillerle münakaşa etmek için ve ne de meclislerin seçkin köşelerinde yer almak için ilim talep etmeyiniz. Bu yasağa rağmen kim böyle yaparsa ateşe (müstehaktır), ateşe (müstehaktır).

'' Not: Zevaid de: ‘’Bu hadisin tüm ravileri sikadır, onu İbn-i Hibban sahihinde rivayet etti, Hakim onu hem merfu’ hem de mevkuf olarak rivayet etti.’’ Deniyor

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) gave a warning to those who seek knowledge to show off in front of the scholars and demonstrate that they are also scholars like them; to argue with foolish and feeble-minded people; or to be given prominence and precedence over others in gatherings. Whoever does that becomes worthy of Hellfire due to his showing off and lack of sincerity in seeking knowledge for Allah's sake.

What it teaches

  • The Hadīth warns with fire those who seek knowledge to brag about it or use it for arguing with the foolish or achieving prominence in gatherings, and so on.
  • It is important that we have a sincere intention as we seek knowledge and teach it to others.
  • The intention is the basis of deeds and by which the reward is given.
