حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ الرَّقِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خُلَيْدٍ، عُتْبَةُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ عَنِ ابْنِ ثَوْبَانَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ قُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ السَّلُولِيِّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: «الدُّنْيَا مَلْعُونَةٌ مَلْعُونٌ مَا فِيهَا إِلاَّ ذِكْرَ اللَّهِ وَمَا وَالَاهُ أَوْ عَالِمًا أَوْ مُتَعَلِّمًا»

“I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) saying: ‘This world is cursed and what is in it is cursed, except the remembrance of Allah (dhikr) and what is conducive to that, or one who has knowledge or who acquires knowledge.’”

আবূ হুরায়রা (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম কে বলতে শুনেছিঃ দুনিয়া ও তার মধ্যকার সবই অভিশপ্ত, কিন্তু আল্লাহর যিকির এবং তার সাথে সংগতিপূর্ণ অনান্য আমল অথবা আলেম ও এলেম অন্বেষণকারী ব্যতীত।

ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو فرماتے ہوئے سنا: دنیا ملعون ہے اور جو کچھ اس میں ہے وہ بھی ملعون ہے، سوائے اللہ تعالیٰ کی یاد کے، اور اس شخص کے جس کو اللہ تعالیٰ پسند کرتا ہے، یا عالم کے یا متعلم کے ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ali bin Maimun Ar Raqqi] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Khulaid 'Utbah bin Hammad Ad Dimasyqi] dari [Ibnu Tsauban] dari ['Atha bin Qurrah] dari [Abdullah bin Dlamrah As Saluli] dia berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Hurairah] dia berkata, "Saya mendengar Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Dunia itu terlaknat dan terlaknat pula apa yang ada di dalamnya, kecuali dzikir kepada Allah dan yang berhubungan dengannya, atau seorang yang 'alim dan mengajarkan ilmunya

Ebu Hureyre (r.a.)'dtn; Şöyle demiştir: Ben, Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'den şunu buyururken işittim: Dünya, mel'undur. Dünyadaki şeyler de mel'undur. Ancak Allah'ı anmak, Allah'ın sevdiği şeyler, âlim ve ilim öğrenen bu hükmün dışındadır. Diğer tahric: Bu hadisi Tirmizi ve Beyhaki de rivayet etmişlerdir

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that the world and everything in it are detested by Allah, deemed blameworthy, forsaken, distanced, and whatever is in it is forsaken and not to be praised. This is because the world and everything in it distracts from Allah Almighty and leads away from Him, except for the remembrance of Allah and what aligns with and resembles it, which Allah loves, or a scholar well versed in religious knowledge who teaches it to people, or a knowledge seeker seeking such knowledge.

What it teaches

  • It is not permissible to curse the world unconditionally, as there are Hadīths that prohibit this. However, it is permissible to curse aspects of the world that lead away from Allah Almighty and distract from His obedience.
  • Everything in this world is mere play and amusement, except for the remembrance of Allah and what serves as a cause or aid in that.
  • Clarifying the merit of knowledge, scholars, and students.
  • Ibn Taymiyyah said: What is dispraised of the world is that which is unlawful in any form, or lawful if pursued for the sake of competition and pride, or what is acquired for the sake of boasting and disputing. Such things are detested by those who have understanding.
