حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ فُرَاتٍ الْقَزَّازِ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ

قَالَ قَاعَدْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ خَمْسَ سِنِينَ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «كَانَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ تَسُوسُهُمُ الأَنْبِيَاءُ كُلَّمَا هَلَكَ نَبِيٌّ خَلَفَهُ نَبِيٌّ وَإِنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي وَسَتَكُونُ خُلَفَاءُ فَتَكْثُرُ».

قَالُوا فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا قَالَ: «فُوا بِبَيْعَةِ الأَوَّلِ فَالأَوَّلِ وَأَعْطُوهُمْ حَقَّهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ سَائِلُهُمْ عَمَّا اسْتَرْعَاهُمْ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Banu Israil were ruled over by the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) s. When one Prophet died, another succeeded him; but after me there is no prophet and there will be caliphs and they will be quite large in number.

His Companions said: What do you order us to do (in case we come to have more than one Caliph)? He said: The one to whom allegiance is sworn first has a supremacy over the others. Concede to them their due rights (i. e. obey them). God (Himself) will question them about the subjects whom He had entrusted to them.

ইবনু নুমায়র এবং ইয়াহইয়া ইবনু ইয়াহইয়া (রহঃ) [শব্দাবলী তার] .... শাকীক (রহঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, 'আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু মাসউদ (রাযিঃ) বলেছেনঃ এই পবিত্র গ্রন্থের আবার কখনো বলেছেন এ কুরআনের রক্ষণাবেক্ষণ কর। কেননা মানুষের মন থেকে তা এক পা বাঁধা চতুষ্পদ জন্তুর চেয়েও (অধিক বেগে) পলায়নপর। আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু মাসউদ (রাযিঃ) আরো বর্ণনা করেছেন যে, রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন তোমরা কেউ যেন এ কথা না বলে যে, আমি (কুরআন মাজীদের) অমুক অমুক আয়াত ভুলে গিয়েছি।

বরং তার থেকে আয়াতগুলো বিস্মৃত হয়ে গিয়েছে (এরূপ বলা উত্তম)। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ১৭১২, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Numair] telah menceritakan kepada kami [bapakku] dan [Abu Mu'awiyah] -dalam jalur lain- Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yahya bin Yahya] -lafazh adalah miliknya- ia berkata, telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Abu Mu'awiyah] dari [Al A'masy] dari [Syaqiq] ia berkata, [Abdullah] berkata; "Sering-seringlah kalian membaca Mushhaf ini -sepertinya ia juga mengatakan- Al Qur`an, karena ia lebih cepat hilangnya dari dada para penghafalnya daripada unta dari ikatannya."

Abdullah berkata; Dan Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam telah bersabda: "Janganlah salah seorang dari kalian mengatakan, 'Saya telah lupa ayat ini dan itu.' akan tetapi ia telah dilupakan

(Galiba da Kur'ân'ı muhafaza edin! dedi.) Yemin olsun ki, Kur'ân'ın hafızların kalplerinden kaçması, develerin bağlarından kaçmasından daha şiddetlidir. Hem Resûlullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem): «Sizden biriniz: ben filân ve filân âyetleri unuttum; demesin! Belki (onlar) kendisine unutturulmuşdur.» buyurdular., dedi

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that the Children of Israel were led by the prophets, who managed their affairs as rulers and leaders do with their subjects. Whenever corruption appeared among them, Allah would send them a prophet to set their matters right and remove the alterations they had made to the rulings.

He added that there would be no prophet after him to do what they used to do. After me, there will be caliphs, and they will increase in number, and disputes and disagreements will arise among them. Thereupon, the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him): What do you command us to do?

He said: If a caliph is given the pledge of allegiance after another caliph, the pledge to the first one is valid and must be honored, while the pledge to the second is invalid, and it is forbidden for him to seek it. Give them their due rights, obey them, and live with them in obedience, except in matters that involve disobedience to Allah, for Allah will question them and hold them accountable for what they do to you.

What it teaches

  • Subjects need to have a prophet or a caliph to manage their affairs and direct them to the straight path.
  • There is no prophet after our Prophet Muhammad (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).
  • Warning against rebelling against a ruler whose authority has been established through legitimate means.
  • It is impermissible to pledge allegiance to two caliphs at the same time.
  • The gravity of the ruler's responsibility, as Allah Almighty will question him about his subjects.
  • Ibn Hajar said: Giving precedence to religious matters over worldly affairs, as the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) commanded that the ruler's right should be fulfilled because it entails upholding the word of religion and preventing chaos and evil. Delaying the demand for one's own rights does not nullify them, as Allah has promised that He will deliver and fulfill them, even in the Hereafter.
  • This is one of the signs of the Prophet's prophethood, as many caliphs emerged after him (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), with both righteous and corrupt rulers succeeding one another in governing the Muslim Ummah.
