حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ

قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ، زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ رَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ، قَالَ دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ جَالِسٌ فِي ظِلِّ الْكَعْبَةِ وَالنَّاسُ مُجْتَمِعُونَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَتَيْتُهُمْ فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَنَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلاً فَمِنَّا مَنْ يُصْلِحُ خِبَاءَهُ وَمِنَّا مَنْ يَنْتَضِلُ وَمِنَّا مَنْ هُوَ فِي جَشَرِهِ إِذْ نَادَى مُنَادِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصَّلَاةَ جَامِعَةً.

فَاجْتَمَعْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ نَبِيٌّ قَبْلِي إِلاَّ كَانَ حَقًّا عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَدُلَّ أُمَّتَهُ عَلَى خَيْرِ مَا يَعْلَمُهُ لَهُمْ وَيُنْذِرَهُمْ شَرَّ مَا يَعْلَمُهُ لَهُمْ وَإِنَّ أُمَّتَكُمْ هَذِهِ جُعِلَ عَافِيَتُهَا فِي أَوَّلِهَا وَسَيُصِيبُ آخِرَهَا بَلَاءٌ وَأُمُورٌ تُنْكِرُونَهَا وَتَجِيءُ فِتْنَةٌ فَيُرَقِّقُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا وَتَجِيءُ الْفِتْنَةُ فَيَقُولُ الْمُؤْمِنُ هَذِهِ مُهْلِكَتِي.

ثُمَّ تَنْكَشِفُ وَتَجِيءُ الْفِتْنَةُ فَيَقُولُ الْمُؤْمِنُ هَذِهِ هَذِهِ. فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُزَحْزَحَ عَنِ النَّارِ وَيَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَلْتَأْتِهِ مَنِيَّتُهُ وَهُوَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ وَلْيَأْتِ إِلَى النَّاسِ الَّذِي يُحِبُّ أَنْ يُؤْتَى إِلَيْهِ وَمَنْ بَايَعَ إِمَامًا فَأَعْطَاهُ صَفْقَةَ يَدِهِ وَثَمَرَةَ قَلْبِهِ فَلْيُطِعْهُ إِنِ اسْتَطَاعَ فَإِنْ جَاءَ آخَرُ يُنَازِعُهُ فَاضْرِبُوا عُنُقَ الآخَرِ».

فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَنْشُدُكَ اللَّهَ آنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَهْوَى إِلَى أُذُنَيْهِ وَقَلْبِهِ بِيَدَيْهِ وَقَالَ سَمِعَتْهُ أُذُنَاىَ وَوَعَاهُ قَلْبِي.

فَقُلْتُ لَهُ هَذَا ابْنُ عَمِّكَ مُعَاوِيَةُ يَأْمُرُنَا أَنْ نَأْكُلَ أَمْوَالَنَا بَيْنَنَا بِالْبَاطِلِ وَنَقْتُلَ أَنْفُسَنَا وَاللَّهُ يَقُولُ: «يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَأْكُلُوا أَمْوَالَكُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ بِالْبَاطِلِ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَكُونَ تِجَارَةً عَنْ تَرَاضٍ مِنْكُمْ وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيمًا» قَالَ فَسَكَتَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ أَطِعْهُ فِي طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَاعْصِهِ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ

I entered the mosque when Abdullah ibn Amr b. al-‘As was sitting in the shade of the Kaba and the people had gathered around him. I betook myself to them and sat near him.

(Now) Abdullah said: I accompanied the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) on a journey. We halted at a place. Some of us began to set right their tents, others began to compete with one another in shooting, and others began to graze their beasts, when an announcer of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) announced that the people should gather together for prayer, so we gathered around the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).

He said: It was the duty of every Prophet that has gone before me to guide his followers to what he knew was good for them and warn them against what he knew was bad for them; but this Umma of yours has its days of peace and (security) in the beginning of its career, and in the last phase of its existence it will be afflicted with trials and with things disagreeable to you.

(In this phase of the Umma), there will be tremendous trials one after the other, each making the previous one dwindle into insignificance. When they would be afflicted with a trial, the believer would say: This is going to bring about my destruction. When at (the trial) is over, they would be afflicted with another trial, and the believer would say: This surely is going to be my end.

Whoever wishes to be delivered from the fire and enter the garden should die with faith in Allah and the Last Day and should treat the people as he wishes to be treated by them. He who swears allegiance to a Caliph should give him the pledge of his hand and the sincerity of his heart (i. e. submit to him both outwardly as well as inwardly).

He should obey him to the best of his capacity. It another man comes forward (as a claimant to Caliphate), disputing his authority, they (the Muslims) should behead the latter.

The narrator says: I came close to him (Abdullah ibn Amr b. al-‘As) and said to him: Can you say on oath that you heard it from the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)?

He pointed with his hands to his ears and his heart and said: My ears heard it and my mind retained it. I said to him: This cousin of yours, Muawiyah, orders us to unjustly consume our wealth among ourselves and to kill one another, while Allah says: ‘ O ye who believe, do not consume your wealth among yourselves unjustly, unless it be trade based on mutual agreement, and do not kill yourselves.

Verily, God is Merciful to you’ (iv. 29). The narrator says that (hearing this) Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As kept quiet for a while and then said: Obey him in so far as he is obedient to God; and diqobey him in matters involving disobedience to God.’’

আব্দুল্লাহ ইবনু বাররাদ আল আশ'আরী ও আবূ কুরায়ব (রহঃ) ..... আবূ মূসা (আশ'আরী) (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ তোমরা কুরআন হিফযের প্রতি লক্ষ্য রাখ। যার হাতে মুহাম্মাদের প্রাণ আমি সে মহান সত্তার শপথ করে বলছি, কুরআনের মুখস্থ সূরাহ বা আয়াতসমূহ মানুষের মন থেকে পা বাঁধা উটের চেয়েও অধিক পলায়নপর (অর্থাৎ কুরআন মাজীদের মুখস্থ সূরাহ বা আয়াত তাড়াতাড়ি বিস্মৃতিতে চলে যায়)। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ১৭১৪, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

عبد اللہ بن براد اشعری اور ابو کریب نے کہا ہمیں ابو اسامہ نے برید سے انھوں نے ابو بردہ سے انھوں نے حضرت ابو موسیٰ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے اور انھوں نے نبی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے حدیث بیان کی آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فر ما یا : " قرآن کی نگہداشت کرو اس ذات کی قسم جس کے ہاتھ میں محمد ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) کی جا ن ہے !

یہ بھا گنے میں پاؤں بندھے اونٹؤں سے بڑھ کر ہے ۔ اس حدیث کے الفاظ ابن براد ( کی روایت ) کے ہیں ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Barrad Al Asy'ari] dan [Abu Kuraib] keduanya berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Usamah] dari [Buraid] dari [Abu Burdah] dari [Abu Musa] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, beliau bersabda: "Jagalah oleh kalian Al Qur`an ini (dengan banyak membacanya), karena demi Dzat yang jiwa Muhammad berada di tangan-Nya, ia lebih cepat hilangnya daripada unta dari tambatannya." Lafazh hadits ini dari Ibnu Barrad

Bize, Abdullah b. Berrâd El-Eş'arî ile Ebû Kureyb rivayet ettiler. Dediler ki: Bize, Ebû Usâme, Büreyd'den, o da Ebû Bürde'den, o da Ebû Musa'dan, o da Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'den naklen rivayet etti: «Şu Kur'ân'ı muhafazaya dikkat edin! Muhammedin nefsi yed-i kudretinde olan Allah'a yemin olsun ki, Kur'an'ın (hafızalardan) kaçması, bağlı develerin boşanıp kaçmasından çok daha şiddetlidir.» buyurmuşlar.

What it means

This Hadīth states that it is the duty of scholars, just as it was the duty of the prophets, to clarify all forms of good, encourage people to perform it, and guide them to its path. It is also their duty to clarify all forms of evil and warn people against it. The Hadīth shows that the early generations of this Ummah were granted safety from trials, whereas its late generations will be afflicted with evil and trials that will make the coming trials trivialize the previous trials.

Safety (from these trials) lies in monotheism, adherence to the Sunnah, kind treatment of people, abidance by the pledge given to the ruler and refraining from rebelling against him, and killing whoever wishes to create dissension among the Muslims.
