حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ اللَّيْثِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي شُعَيْبُ بْنُ اللَّيْثِ، حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ حُجَيْرَةَ الأَكْبَرِ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ

قَالَ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا تَسْتَعْمِلُنِي قَالَ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى مَنْكِبِي ثُمَّ قَالَ: «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّكَ ضَعِيفٌ وَإِنَّهَا أَمَانَةٌ وَإِنَّهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ خِزْىٌ وَنَدَامَةٌ إِلاَّ مَنْ أَخَذَهَا بِحَقِّهَا وَأَدَّى الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ فِيهَا»

I said to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam): Messenger of Allah, will you not appoint me to a public office? He stroked my shoulder with his hand and said: Abu Dharr, thou art weak and authority is a trust. and on the Day of judgment it is a cause of humiliation and repentance except for one who fulfils its obligations and (properly) discharges the duties attendant thereon.

মুহাম্মাদ ইবনুল মুসান্না (রহঃ) ..... যায়দ ইবনু সাবিত (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, খেজুর পাতা অথবা চাটাই দিয়ে রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম একটি ছোট কামরা তৈরি করে তাতে সালাত আদায় করতে গেলেন। এ দেখে কিছু সংখ্যক লোক এসে তার সাথে সালাত আদায় করলেন।

যায়দ ইবনু সাবিত বলেনঃ অন্য এক রাতেও লোকজন এসে জমা হ'ল। কিন্তু রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম (সে রাতে) দেরী করলেন এবং এমনকি তিনি সে রাতে আসলেন না। তাই লোকজন উচ্চস্বরে তাকে ডাকাডাকি করল এবং বাড়ীর দরজায় কঙ্কর ছুড়তে শুরু করল। তখন রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম রাগাম্বিত হয়ে তাদের মাঝে এসে বললেনঃ তোমরা যখন ক্রমাগত এরূপ করছিলে তখন আমার ধারণা হ’ল যে, এ সালাত হয়ত তোমাদের জন্য ফারয (ফরয) করে দেয়া হবে।

অতএব তোমরা বাড়িতেই (নাফল) আদায় করবে। কেননা ফারয (ফরয) সালাত ছাড়া অন্যসব সালাত বাড়ীতে আদায় করা মানুষের জন্য সর্বোত্তম। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ১৬৯৫, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

عبد اللہ سعید نے کہا : عمر بن عبید اللہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ کے آزاد کردہ غلام سالم ابو نضرنے ہمیں بسربن سعید سے حدیث بیان کی اور انھوں نے حضرت زید بن ثابت رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت کی ، انھوں نے کہا : رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے چٹائی کا ایک چھوٹا سا حجرہ بنوایا اور رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ( گھر سے ) باہر آکر اس میں نماز پڑھنے لگے لو گ اس ( حجرے ) تک آپ کے پیچھے پیچھے آئے اور آکر آپ کی اقتدامیں نماز پڑھنے لگے ،

پھر ایک اور رات لو گ آئے اور ( حجرےکے ) پاس آگئے جبکہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ان کے پاس آنے میں تا خیر کر دی ۔ کہا : آپ ان کے پاس تشریف نہ لا ئےصحابہ کرام رضوان اللہ عنھم اجمعین نے اپنی آوازیں بلند کیں ( تاکہ آپ آوازیں سن کر تشریف لے آئیں ) اور دروازے پر چھوٹی چھوٹی کنکریاں ماریں تو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم غصے کی حالت میں ان کی طرف تشریف لا ئے اور ان سے فر ما یا : تم مسلسل یہ عمل کرتے رہے حتیٰ کہ مجھے خیال ہوا کہ یہ نماز تم پر لازم قراردے دی جا ئے گی ، اس لیے تم اپنے گھروں میں نماز پڑھا کرو کیونکہ انسان کی فرض نماز کے سوا وہی بہتر ہےجو گھر میں پڑھے ۔

Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Al Mutsanna] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Ja'far] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Sa'id] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Salim Abu Nadlr] maula Umar bin Ubaidullah, dari [Busr bin Sa'id] dari [Zaid bin Tsabit] ia berkata; "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam memasang tenda dari tikar pada sebuah tempat di Masjid, sehingga merupakan sebuah kamar tempat beliau shalat (malam).

Melihat hal itu, beberapa orang sahabat mendatangi tempat itu dan mereka shalat pula mengikuti Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam shalat. Pada suatu malam mereka datang pula, tetapi Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam terlambat, sehingga beliau tidak keluar sama sekali menemui mereka. Oleh karena itu, mereka mengeraskan suara dan melempar pintu dengan kerikil, untuk memberi tahu Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, karena mereka menyangka kalau-kalau beliau lupa.

Maka dalam keadaan marah Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam keluar menemui mereka sambil bersabda: "Janganlah kalian berbuat demikian, karena aku mengira bahwa shalat malam itu akan diwajibkan kepada kalian. Karena itu, shalatlah kalian di rumah kalian masing-masing, karena sebaik-baik shalat seseorang adalah yang dilakukan di rumahnya sendiri, kecuali shalat wajib."

Dan telah menceritakan kepadaku [Muhammad bin Hatim] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Bahz] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Wuhaib] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Musa bin Uqbah] ia berkata, saya mendengar [Abu An Nadlr] dari [Busr bin Sa'id] dari [Zaid bin Tsabit] bahwa Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam memasang tenda dari tikar pada sebuah tempat di Masjid, sehingga merupakan sebuah kamar tempat beliau shalat (malam).

Melihat hal itu, beberapa orang sahabat mendatangi tempat itu. Maka ia pun menyebutkan hadits yang serupa dengannya. Dan ia menambahkan di dalamnya; "Jika (shalat malam) itu diwajibkan atas kalian, niscaya kalian tidak akan mampu melakukannya

Bize, Muhammedü'bnü'l-Müsennâ rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize, Muhammed b. Ca'fer rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize, Abdullah b. Saîd rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize, Ömer b. Ubeydillâh'ın âzâdlısı Salim Ebû'n-Nadr, Büsr b. Saîd'den, o da Zeydü'bnü Sâbit'den naklen rivayet etti. Demişki: Resûlullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) kendisine hurma yaprağından yahut hasırdan bir hücrecik yaptı da çıkıp orada namaz kıldı.

Derken bir takım adamlar kendisini ta'kîp ettiler ve (oraya) gelerek onun namazına uydular. Sonra bir gece gelip orada hazır oldular. Resûlullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) ağır davranarak yanlarına çıkmadı. Bunun üzerine onlar seslerini yükselttiler; ve kapıyı taşladılar. Derken Resûlullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) öfkeli bir hâlde onların yanına çıktı ve kendilerine şunu söyledi: «Yaptığınız şey'e o kadar devam ettiniz ki, bunun size farz olacağından korktum.

Binâenaleyh siz, bu namazı evlerinizde kılmalısınız. Çünkü yalnız farz namaz müstesna; kişinin en hayırlı namazı evinde kıldığı namazdır.»

What it means

Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) gave him a specific piece of advice concerning leadership and assuming it, after he had asked the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) to appoint him to a position of authority. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "You are weak."

This statement is a bit strong; however, integrity entails being frank with a person about their character. If a person is strong, he should be told that he is strong, and if a person is weak, he should be told that he is weak. This Hadīth provides evidence that leadership is conditional on the person assuming it being strong and trustworthy, because the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "…and it is a trust."

So if a person is strong and trustworthy, then these characteristics make him qualified for leadership and authority. If someone is strong but not trustworthy, trustworthy but not strong, or neither strong nor trustworthy; these three types of people are not suited for leadership. Based on this, leadership should be entrusted to a strong person, as this is more beneficial to the people who are in need of authority and strength.

If there is no strength, especially if there is weakness in the religion; people's rights will be lost. So this Hadīth gives strong evidence to avoid assuming leadership, especially by those who have a weakness in discharging the duties of authority. The disgrace and remorse mentioned in the Hadīth in this statement "It will be a cause of disgrace and remorse on the Day of Resurrection" apply to those who are not qualified to assume a post of authority or are qualified, but do not discharge their responsibility justly.

In these cases, Allah, the Exalted, will disgrace and humiliate him on the Day of Resurrection and he will regret what he neglected. This threat does not apply to someone who is qualified for leadership and acts justly. That is why the noble Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) made an exception when he said: "except for the one who takes it up with a full sense of responsibility and fulfills what is entrusted to him," because there is a great credit for the person who takes it up rightfully.

This is indicated in a number of authentic Hadīths, such as the one where he said: "Allah will shade seven types of people under His shade... " and the Hadīth where he said: "Those who are just will be on pulpits of light..." and so on.
