حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ ذَرِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ، عَنْ يُسَيْعٍ الْكِنْدِيِّ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ الدُّعَاءَ هُوَ الْعِبَادَةُ». ثُمَّ قَرَأَ «وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) (saas) said: “Indeed the supplication is the worship.” Then he recited: “And your Lord said: Invoke Me, I will respond to you.”

নোমান ইবনে বশীর (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ দোয়াই হলো ইবাদত। অতঃপর তিলাওয়াত করেন (অনুবাদঃ) ‘‘এবং তোমার প্রভু বলেছেন, তোমরা আমাকে ডাকো আমি তোমাদের ডাকে সাড়া দিবো’’ (৪০ঃ)

نعمان بن بشیر رضی اللہ عنہما کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: بیشک دعا ہی عبادت ہے، پھر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے یہ آیت تلاوت فرمائی:«وقال ربكم ادعوني أستجب لكم» اور تمہارے رب نے کہا: دعا کرو ( مجھے پکارو ) میں تمہاری دعا قبول کروں گا ( سورة الغافر: 60 ) ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ali bin Muhammad] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Waki'] dari [Al A'masy] dari [Dzar bin Abdullah Al Hamdani] dari [Yusai' Al Kindi] dari [Nu'man bin Basyir] dia berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Sesungguhnya do'a adalah ibadah." Kemudian beliau membaca: "Berdo'alah kepada-Ku, niscaya akan Kuperkenankan bagimu." (QS Al Ghafir;)

Nu'man bin Beşir (r.a.)'den rivayet edildiğine göre Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem): «Şüphesiz ancak dua ibadettir.» buyurdu. Sonra: ''.. Ve Rabbiniz buyurdu ki: Siz bana dua ediniz ki bende size icabet edeyim. Bana dua etmeye tenezzül etmeyenler. Şüphesiz alçalmış olarak cehennem'e gireceklerdir.'' [Mu'min 60] ayetini okudu.

Sunan Ibn Majah 3828, Book 34, Supplication, Hadith 2. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that supplication is worship. So, it should be purely directed to Allah, whether supplication is that of request, as the supplicant asks Allah Almighty to bring him what is beneficial and avert from him what is harmful in this world and in the Hereafter, or supplication of worship, involving such words and deeds, inward and outward, that are beloved and pleasing to Allah, acts of worship performed within the heart or through one's body or money. Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) cited as evidence the verse that reads: {Call upon Me; I will respond to you. Those who are too proud to worship Me will enter Hell, utterly debased.}

What it teaches

  • Supplication is the basis of worship and may not be directed to other than Allah.
  • Supplication comprises the true meaning of servitude to Allah, the servant's recognition of the self-sufficiency and power of his Lord, and the servant's need of Him.
  • The Hadīth contains a stern warning to those who are too proud to worship Allah and refrain from supplicating Him: that such people will enter Hellfire, utterly debased and humiliated.
