حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ وَفَدَتْ وُفُودٌ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ وَذَلِكَ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَكَانَ يَصْنَعُ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ الطَّعَامَ فَكَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ مِمَّا يُكْثِرُ أَنْ يَدْعُوَنَا إِلَى رَحْلِهِ فَقُلْتُ أَلَا أَصْنَعُ طَعَامًا فَأَدْعُوَهُمْ إِلَى رَحْلِي فَأَمَرْتُ بِطَعَامٍ يُصْنَعُ ثُمَّ لَقِيتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ مِنَ الْعَشِيِّ فَقُلْتُ الدَّعْوَةُ عِنْدِي اللَّيْلَةَ فَقَالَ سَبَقْتَنِي.

قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. فَدَعَوْتُهُمْ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَلَا أُعْلِمُكُمْ بِحَدِيثٍ مِنْ حَدِيثِكُمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ الأَنْصَارِ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ فَتْحَ مَكَّةَ فَقَالَ أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ فَبَعَثَ الزُّبَيْرَ عَلَى إِحْدَى الْمُجَنِّبَتَيْنِ وَبَعَثَ خَالِدًا عَلَى الْمُجَنِّبَةِ الأُخْرَى وَبَعَثَ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ عَلَى الْحُسَّرِ فَأَخَذُوا بَطْنَ الْوَادِي وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي كَتِيبَةٍ (قَالَ) فَنَظَرَ فَرَآنِي فَقَالَ: «أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ».

قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. فَقَالَ: «لَا يَأْتِينِي إِلاَّ أَنْصَارِيٌّ». زَادَ غَيْرُ شَيْبَانَ فَقَالَ: «اهْتِفْ لِي بِالأَنْصَارِ».

قَالَ فَأَطَافُوا بِهِ وَوَبَّشَتْ قُرَيْشٌ أَوْبَاشًا لَهَا وَأَتْبَاعًا. فَقَالُوا نُقَدِّمُ هَؤُلَاءِ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَهُمْ شَىْءٌ كُنَّا مَعَهُمْ. وَإِنْ أُصِيبُوا أَعْطَيْنَا الَّذِي سُئِلْنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «تَرَوْنَ إِلَى أَوْبَاشِ قُرَيْشٍ وَأَتْبَاعِهِمْ».

ثُمَّ قَالَ بِيَدَيْهِ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الأُخْرَى ثُمَّ قَالَ: «حَتَّى تُوَافُونِي بِالصَّفَا». قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْنَا فَمَا شَاءَ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا أَنْ يَقْتُلَ أَحَدًا إِلاَّ قَتَلَهُ وَمَا أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ يُوَجِّهُ إِلَيْنَا شَيْئًا (قَالَ) فَجَاءَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُبِيحَتْ خَضْرَاءُ قُرَيْشٍ لَا قُرَيْشَ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ.

ثُمَّ قَالَ: «مَنْ دَخَلَ دَارَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ فَهُوَ آمِنٌ». فَقَالَتِ الأَنْصَارُ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ أَمَّا الرَّجُلُ فَأَدْرَكَتْهُ رَغْبَةٌ فِي قَرْيَتِهِ وَرَأْفَةٌ بِعَشِيرَتِهِ.

قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَجَاءَ الْوَحْىُ وَكَانَ إِذَا جَاءَ الْوَحْىُ لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْنَا فَإِذَا جَاءَ فَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَرْفَعُ طَرْفَهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى يَنْقَضِيَ الْوَحْىُ فَلَمَّا انْقَضَى الْوَحْىُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا مَعْشَرَ الأَنْصَارِ».

قَالُوا لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ: «قُلْتُمْ أَمَّا الرَّجُلُ فَأَدْرَكَتْهُ رَغْبَةٌ فِي قَرْيَتِهِ». قَالُوا قَدْ كَانَ ذَاكَ. قَالَ: «كَلاَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ هَاجَرْتُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَيْكُمْ وَالْمَحْيَا مَحْيَاكُمْ وَالْمَمَاتُ مَمَاتُكُمْ». فَأَقْبَلُوا إِلَيْهِ يَبْكُونَ وَيَقُولُونَ: وَاللَّهِ مَا قُلْنَا الَّذِي قُلْنَا إِلاَّ الضِّنَّ بِاللَّهِ وَبِرَسُولِهِ.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يُصَدِّقَانِكُمْ وَيَعْذِرَانِكُمْ». قَالَ فَأَقْبَلَ النَّاسُ إِلَى دَارِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَأَغْلَقَ النَّاسُ أَبْوَابَهُمْ (قَالَ) وَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى أَقْبَلَ إِلَى الْحَجَرِ فَاسْتَلَمَهُ ثُمَّ طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ (قَالَ) فَأَتَى عَلَى صَنَمٍ إِلَى جَنْبِ الْبَيْتِ كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَهُ (قَالَ) وَفِي يَدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَوْسٌ وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِسِيَةِ الْقَوْسِ فَلَمَّا أَتَى عَلَى الصَّنَمِ جَعَلَ يَطْعُنُهُ فِي عَيْنِهِ وَيَقُولُ: «جَاءَ الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَاطِلُ».

فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ طَوَافِهِ أَتَى الصَّفَا فَعَلَا عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى نَظَرَ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ فَجَعَلَ يَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ وَيَدْعُو بِمَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ

Many deputations came to Muawiyah. This was in the month of Ramadan. We would prepare food for one another. Abu Hurayrah was one of those who frequently invited us to his house.

I said: Should I not prepare food and invite them to my place? So I ordered meals to be prepared Then I met Abu Hurayrah in the evening and said: (You will have) your meals with me tonight.

He said: You have forestalled me. I said: Yes, and invited them. (When they had finished with the meals) Abu Hurayrah said: Should I not tell yon a tradition from your traditions, O ye assembly of the Ansar?

He then gave an account of the Conquest of Mecca and said: The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) advanced until he reached Mecca. He deputed Zubair on his right flank and Khalid on the left, and he despatched Abu Ubaida with the force that had no armour. They advanced to the interior of the valley. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was in the midst of a large contingent of fighters.

He saw me and said: Abu Hurayrah I said: I am here at your call, Messenger of Allah I He said: Let no one come to me except the Ansar, so call to me the Ansar (only). Abu Hurayrah continued: So they gathered round him. The Quraish also gathered their ruffians and their (lowly) followers, and said: We send these forward. If they get anything, we shall be with them (to share it), and if misfortune befalls them, we shall pay (as compensation) whatever we are asked for.

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said (to the Ansar): You see the ruffians and the (lowly) followers of the Quraish. And he indicated by (striking) one of his hands over the other that they should be killed and said: Meet me at as-Safa. Then we went on (and) if any one of us wanted that a certain person should be killed, he was killed, and none could offer any resistance.

Abu Hurayrah continued: Then came Abu Sufyan and said: Messenger of Allah, the blood of the Quraish has become very cheap. There will be no Quraish from this day on.

Then he (the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) said: Who enters the house of Abu Sufyan, he will be safe. Some of the Ansar whispered among themselves: (After all), love for his city and tenderness towards his relations have overpowered him.

Abu Hurayrah said: (At this moment) revelation came to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and when he was going to receive the Revelation, we understood it, and when he was (actually) receiving it, none of us would dare raise his eyes to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) until the revelation came to an end.

When the revelation came to an end, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: O ye Assembly of the Ansar! They said: Here we are at your disposal, Messenger of Allah.

He said: You were saying that love for his city and tenderness towards his people have overpowered this man. They said: So it was. He said: No, never. I am a bondman of God and His Messenger. I migrated towards God and towards you. I will live with you and will die with you. So, they (the Ansar) turned towards him in tears and they were saying: By Allah, we said what we said because of our tenacious attachment to Allah and His Messenger.

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Surely, Allah and His Messenger testify to your assertions and accept your apology. The narrator continued: People turned to the house of Abu Sufyan and people locked their doors. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) proceeded until he approached the (Black) Stone.

He kissed it and circumambulated the Kaba. He reached near an idol by the side of the Kaba which was worshipped by the people. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had a bow in his hand, and he was holding it from a corner. When he came near the idol, he began to pierce its eyes with the bow and (while doing so) was saying: Truth has been established and falsehood has perished.

When he had finished the circumambulation, he came to Safa, ascended it to a height from where he could see the Kaba, raised his hands (in prayer) and began to praise Allah and prayed what he wanted to pray.

আবদ ইবনু হুমায়দ (রহঃ) ..... আবূ হুরায়রাহ (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম দৃঢ় বা কঠোরভাবে নির্দেশ না দিয়ে রমযান মাসের তারাবীহ পড়তে উৎসাহিত করে বলতেনঃ যে ব্যক্তি ঈমানসহ ও একান্ত আল্লাহর সন্তুষ্টির নিমিত্তে রমযান মাসের তারাবীহ পড়ল তার পূর্বের সব পাপ ক্ষমা করে দেয়া হয়।

অতঃপর রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম মৃত্যুবরণ করলেন। তখনও এ অবস্থা চলছিল (অর্থাৎ মানুষকে তারাবীহ পড়তে নির্দেশ না দিয়ে শুধু উৎসাহিত করা হত)। আবূ বাকর (রাযিঃ) এর খিলাফতকালে এবং উমর (রাযিঃ) এর খিলাফাতের প্রথম দিকেও এ নীতি কার্যকর ছিল। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ১৬৫০, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

امام زہری نے ابو سلمہ ( بن عبدالرحمان ) سے اور انھوں نے ابو ہریرۃ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت کی ، انھوں نے کہا رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم لازم ٹھہرائے بغیر رمضان کے قیام کی ترغیب دیتے تھے ، آپ فرماتے : " جس نے رمضان کا قیام ایمان ( کی حالت میں ) اوراجر طلب کرتے ہوئے کیا ، اس کے گزشتہ گناہ بخش دیئے جائیں گے ۔

" رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی وفات تک معاملہ یہی رہا ، پھر ابو بکر رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ کی خلافت اور عمر رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ کی خلافت کے ابتدائی دور میں بھی معاملہ اسی طرح رہا ( ترغیب دی جاتی رہی ، اجتماعی طور پر اہتمام نہیں کیاگیا)

Telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Abdu bin Humaid] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Abdurrazaq] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Ma'mar] dari [Az Zuhri] dari [Abu Salamah] dari [Abu Hurairah] ia berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam memberikan motivasi untuk mengerjakan (shalat pada malam) Ramadlan dengan tidak mewajibkannya.

Beliau bersabda: "Barangsiapa yang menunaikan (shalat pada malam) Ramadlan dengan penuh keimanan dan mengharap (pahala dari Allah), maka dosa-dosanya yang telah berlalu akan diampuni." Kemudian Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam wafat, sementara perkara itu tetap seperti itu. Demikian pula pada kekhilafahan Abu Bakar hingga permulaan kekhilafahan Umar

Bize, Abd b. Humeyd rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Abdürrazzâk haber verdi. (Dediki): Bize, Ma'mer, Zührî'den, o da Ebû Seleme'den, o da Ebû Hureyre'den naklen haber verdi, Ebû Hureyre şöyle demiş: Resûlullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) ashabına azimetle emretmeksizin ramazanda gece namazına kendilerini teşvik eder ve: «Her kim ramazanda îmân ve ihtisâbla gece namazı kılarsa, o kimsenin geçmiş günahları affolunur.»

buyururdu. İşte Resûlullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) hâl bu merkezde iken vefat etti. Ondan sonra Ebû Bekr'in hilâfetinde ve Ömer'in hilâfetinin ilk zamanlarında bu iş Aynı minval üzere devam etti. İzah 760 da

What it means

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that people went to Mu‘āwiyah ibn Abi Sufyān in the Levant during the month of Ramadan. The people would prepare food and eat together and Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) would often make food and invite people to eat. So ‘Abdullāh ibn Rabāh made the intention to prepare food and invite people to eat.

He met Abu Hurayrah and invited him to dinner that night. Abu Hurayrah remarked that he had been preempted this time. When they gathered, Abu Hurayrah offered to tell them a tradition about the Ansār people.

So he told them the story of the Conquest of Makkah. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) led the army that conquered Makkah and appointed Az-Zubayr ibn al-‘Awwām on one flank, Khālid ibn Walīd on another, and Abu ‘Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrāh heading a flank that wore no armor. They took the road to Makkah through the middle of the valley.

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) led a brigade in the middle of the army. When he saw Abu Hurayrah, he told him to gather the Ansār for him, and that only they should come. They gathered around the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). The Quraysh collected groups from different tribes and prepared them for the fight.

They placed them in the front of the army, so if they won a victory, the Quraysh would share it with them. If they were defeated, the Quraysh would give the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) whatever he wanted. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) told his Companions to kill the groups that the Quraysh had collected and to meet him at Mount Safa in Makkah.

The Companions set out, killing these groups until they had eliminated them. None of the disbelievers could protect themselves. Abu Sufyān said to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) that the Quraysh was being eliminated. So the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said that anyone who entered the house of Abu Sufyān would be safe.

On this, the Ansār said that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was feeling sympathy for his tribe. The Ansār saw the Prophet showing mercy to the people of Makkah, and felt that was why he had stopped fighting them. They thought that he would return to Makkah and stay there forever, forsaking them and deserting Madīnah.

Such a prospect was difficult for them to cope with. Allah sent a revelation to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) to tell him of this. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) then sent for the Ansār and asked them whether they had said what they had said.

They said that they had. Indeed, this was one of the Prophet’s miracles. When the revelation came down to him, the Companions would realize it and so would not raise their eyes to him until the revelation had ended. When the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) told them what they had said: they realized that he truly was the Messenger of Allah, and in this capacity, he could tell them the unseen in this situation and in others as well.

So they had to trust everything he told them and know that he was the Slave and Messenger of Allah. he assured them that he migrated to Allah and to their city to settle there, and that he would not abandon the emigration that he had intended for Allah's sake.

He told them that he would live with them until the end of his life. This was another of his miracles and when he said this to them, they cried and apologized to him.

They said that they had said what they said out of a keenness for his perpetual companionship, so they could learn from him, seek his blessings, and follow his guidance on the straight path, because Allah says: {And indeed, [O Muhammad], you guide to a straight path} [Sūrat-Ash-Shūra: 52]. So, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) told them that Allah and His Messenger believed them and accepted their apology.

When he said that anyone who entered the house of Abu Sufyān would be safe, some people came to the house of Abu Sufyān, while others closed their doors. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) then proceeded until he came to the Black Stone and kissed it and performed Tawāf around the Ka‘bah. When he came to a statue that the disbelievers used to worship next to the Ka‘bah, he poked it in the eyes with a bow, saying: {Truth has come, and falsehood has perished} [Sūrat al-Isrā': 81].

When the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) finished his Tawāf, he went to Mount Safa, climbed it, and looked at the Ka‘bah. He raised his hands, praised Allah, and asked Him for whatever he wished.
