حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، (يَعْنِي ابْنَ حَازِمٍ) حَدَّثَنَا غَيْلَانُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي قَيْسِ بْنِ رِيَاحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنَ الطَّاعَةِ وَفَارَقَ الْجَمَاعَةَ فَمَاتَ مَاتَ مِيتَةً جَاهِلِيَّةً وَمَنْ قَاتَلَ تَحْتَ رَايَةٍ عُمِّيَّةٍ يَغْضَبُ لِعَصَبَةٍ أَوْ يَدْعُو إِلَى عَصَبَةٍ أَوْ يَنْصُرُ عَصَبَةً فَقُتِلَ فَقِتْلَةٌ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ وَمَنْ خَرَجَ عَلَى أُمَّتِي يَضْرِبُ بَرَّهَا وَفَاجِرَهَا وَلَا يَتَحَاشَ مِنْ مُؤْمِنِهَا وَلَا يَفِي لِذِي عَهْدٍ عَهْدَهُ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي وَلَسْتُ مِنْهُ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: One who defected from obedience (to the Amir) and separated from the main body of the Muslims – if he died in that state-would die the death of one belonging to the days of Jahiliyya (i.e. would not die as a Muslim). One who fights under the banner of a people who are blind (to the cause for which they are fighting, i.e. do not know whether their cause is just or otherwise), who gets flared up with family pride, calls (people) to fight for their family honour, and supports his kith and kin (i.e. fights not for the cause of Allah but for the sake of this family or tribe) – if he is killed (in this fight), he dies as one belonging to the days of Jahiliyya.

Whoso attacks my Ummah (indiscriminately) killing the righteous and the wicked of them, sparing not (even) those staunch in faith and fulfilling not his promise made with those who have been given a pledge of security – he has nothing to do with me and I have nothing to do with him.

ইবনু আখী ইবনু ওয়াহব (রহঃ) ... ইবনুল হাদ (রহঃ) থেকে একই সনদে অনুরূপ হাদীস বর্ণনা করেছেন। তবে এ হাদীসে তিনি إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم (রসূলুল্লাহসাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন) উল্লেখ করেছেন এবং سَمِعَ (রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম কে বলতে শুনেছেন) উল্লেখ করেননি। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ১৭১৮, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pointed out that if anyone departs from obedience to the rulers and separates from the community of Muslims who agreed to pledge allegiance to the ruler and dies in this state of separation and disobedience, he has died like the death of the people of jāhiliyyah, who would not obey a leader or join one group; instead, they were different groups and tribes fighting one another. And the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that if anyone fights under a banner with which he cannot distinguish the truth from falsehood.

He gets angry for the sole purpose of bias for his people or tribe, not for supporting the religion and the truth. He fights for fanaticism without insight or knowledge; his killing is like that of jāhiliyyah if he dies in this state. And that if anyone revolts against his Ummah, striking the righteous and the wicked of them and not caring about what he does or not fearing the punishment for killing the believers among them, and does not fulfill a covenant with those whom he has made covenants with from among the disbelievers or the rulers - rather, he violates them - this is a major sin and whoever commits it deserves this stern warning.

What it teaches

  • It is obligatory to obey the rulers in things that involve no disobedience to Allah Almighty.
  • It gives a stern warning about revolting against the ruler and departing from the Muslim community. Whoever dies in this state has died on the way of the people of jāhiliyyah.
  • The Hadīth forbids fighting for the sake of tribalism.
  • It is obligatory to fulfill covenants.
  • In obedience to the ruler and adhering to the community lie a lot of goodness, safety, tranquillity, and good conditions.
  • It is prohibited to emulate the way of the people of jāhiliyyah.
  • It enjoins adherence to the Muslim community.
