حَدَّثَنَا هَدَّابُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الأَزْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ ضَبَّةَ بْنِ مِحْصَنٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «سَتَكُونُ أُمَرَاءُ فَتَعْرِفُونَ وَتُنْكِرُونَ فَمَنْ عَرَفَ بَرِئَ وَمَنْ أَنْكَرَ سَلِمَ وَلَكِنْ مَنْ رَضِيَ وَتَابَعَ». قَالُوا: أَفَلَا نُقَاتِلُهُمْ قَالَ: «لَا مَا صَلَّوْا»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: In the near future there will be Amirs and you will like their good deeds and dislike their bad deeds. One who sees through their bad deeds (and tries to prevent their repetition by his band or through his speech), is absolved from blame, but one who hates their bad deeds (in the heart of his heart, being unable to prevent their recurrence by his hand or his tongue), is (also) safe (so far as God’s wrath is concerned).

But one who approves of their bad deeds and imitates them is spiritually ruined. People asked (the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)): Shouldn’t we fight against them? He replied: No, as long as they say their prayers.

মুহাম্মাদ ইবনুল মুসান্না ও মুহাম্মাদ ইবনু বাশশার (রহঃ) ..... 'আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু মুগাফফাল (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, মাক্কাহ বিজয়ের দিন আমি দেখেছি রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম তার উটনীর পিঠে বসে সূরাহ আল ফাতহ পাঠ করেছেন। মু'আবিয়াহ ইবনু কুররাহ বর্ণনা করেছেন, অতঃপর আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু মুগাফফাল তারজী’সহ (সূরাহ আল ফাতহ) পাঠ করে শুনলাম।

মু'আবিয়াহ বলেছেন, লোকজন জমায়েত হওয়ার আশঙ্কা না থাকলে 'আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু মুগাফফাল নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর অনুকরণ করে যেভাবে (সূরাহটি পাঠ করে) শুনিয়েছেন আমিও সেভাবে শুনাতাম। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ১৭২৪, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

محمد بن جعفر نے کہا : شعبہ نے ہمیں معاویہ بن قرہ سے حدیث بیان کی ، انھوں نے کہا : میں نے حضرت عبداللہ بن مغفل سے سنا ، انھوں نے کہا : میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو فتح مکہ کے دن اپنی اونٹنی پر ( سوار ) سورہ فتح پڑھتے ہوئے دیکھا ۔

( معاویہ بن قرہ نے ) کہا : حضرت ابن مغفل رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ نےقراءت کی اور اس میں ترجیع کی ، معاویہ نے کہا : اگر مجھے لوگوں ( کے اکھٹے ہوجانے ) کا اندیشہ نہ ہوتا تو میں تمھارے لئے ( قراءت کا ) وہی ( طریقہ اختیار ) کرتا جو حضرت ابن مغفل رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ نے نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے حوالے سے بیان کیا تھا ۔

Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Al Mutsanna] dan [Muhammad bin Basysyar] -Ibnul Mutsanna- berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Ja'far] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syu'bah] dari [Mu'awiyah bin Qurrah] ia berkata, saya mendengar [Abdullah bin Mughaffal], ia berkata; Pada hari Fathu Makkah, saya melihat Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam di atas untanya membaca surat Al Fath.

Ibnu Mughaffal pun membacanya dan mengulangi bacaannya kembali. Kemudian Mu'awiyah berkata, "Sekiranya bukan karena (akan berkumpulnya) manusia, niscaya saya melakukan seperti yang telah disebutkan oleh Ibnu Mughaffal dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam." Dan telah menceritakannya kepada kami [Yahya bin Habib Al Haritsi] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Khalid bin Harits] -dalam jalur lain- Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ubaidullah bin Mu'adz] telah menceritakan kepada kami [bapakku] ia berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syu'bah] dengan isnad ini semisalnya.

Dan di dalam hadits Khalid bin Harits, ia berkata; "Di atas kendaraannya yang berjalan, sementara beliau membaca surat Al Fath

Bize Muhammedü'bnü'l-Müsennâ ile Muhammedü'bnü Beşşâr rivayet ettiler. İbnü'l-Müsennâ (Dediki): Bize, Muhammedü'bnü Ca'fer rivayet etti, (Dediki): Bize Şu'be, Muâviyetü'bnü Kurra'dan rivayet etti. Demişki: Abdullah b. Mugaffel'i dinledim şöyle dedt : «Mekke'nin fethedİliği gün Resûlullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'i devresinin üzerinde fetih sûresini okurken gördüm.»

Râvî Muâviye diyor ki: Müteakiben İbni Mugaffel (kendisi) de okudu ve tercî' yaptı. Muâviye : «Eğer (etrafımızda) insanlar olmasaydı İbni Mugaffel'in, Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'den naklen okuduğu şekilde bende size okuyuverirdim.» demiş

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs us that rulers will be appointed to be in charge of us. We will approve some of their deeds for conforming with Shariah, and we will disapprove other deeds for contradicting Shariah. Whoever hates such evil deeds in his heart and is unable to forbid them is absolved of sin and hypocrisy.

Whoever is able to forbid evil with his hand or tongue and does so is safe from bearing sin and from participating in it. However, those who are content with their evil deeds and follow them will be doomed just like them. Then, they asked the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him): Shall we not fight against such rulers?

He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them from that and said: No, as long as they establish the prayer amongst you.

What it teaches

  • Among the signs of the Prophet's prophethood is his foretelling about things of the Unseen that will take place in the same manner he foretold.
  • It is impermissible to approve of evil or participate in it and it must be forbidden.
  • If the rulers introduce something that contradicts Shariah, obeying them in this regard will be impermissible.
  • It is impermissible to rebel against the Muslim rulers given the harm, bloodshed, and loss of security that result therefrom; whereas, enduring the wrongdoing of sinful rulers and bearing their harm is the lesser of two evils.
  • The great significance of the prayer as it represents the difference between disbelief and Islam.
