حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ، (يَعْنِي ابْنَ يَزِيدَ) عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ

قَالَ كَانَتْ عَلَيْنَا رِعَايَةُ الإِبِلِ فَجَاءَتْ نَوْبَتِي فَرَوَّحْتُهَا بِعَشِيٍّ فَأَدْرَكْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَائِمًا يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ فَأَدْرَكْتُ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُحْسِنُ وُضُوءَهُ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ مُقْبِلٌ عَلَيْهِمَا بِقَلْبِهِ وَوَجْهِهِ إِلَاّ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ».

قَالَ فَقُلْتُ: مَا أَجْوَدَ هَذِهِ. فَإِذَا قَائِلٌ بَيْنَ يَدَىَّ يَقُولُ الَّتِي قَبْلَهَا أَجْوَدُ. فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا عُمَرُ قَالَ إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُكَ جِئْتَ آنِفًا قَالَ: «مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُبْلِغُ (أَوْ فَيُسْبِغُ) الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَاّ اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ إِلَاّ فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةُ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاءَ»

We were entrusted with the task of tending the camels. On my turn when I came back in the evening after grazing them in the pastures, I found the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) stand and address the people. I heard these words of his: If any Muslim performs ablution well, then stands and prays two rakahs setting about them with his heart as well as his face, Paradise would be guaranteed to him.

I said: What a fine thing is this! And a narrator who was before me said: The first was better than even this. When I cast a glance, I saw that it was Umar who said: I see that you have just come and observed: If anyone amongst you performs the ablution, and then completes the ablution well and then says: I testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the servant of Allah and His Messenger, the eight gates of Paradise would be opened for him and he may enter by whichever of them he wishes.

ইবনু আব্বাস (রাযিঃ) বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম এর সময় লোকদের উপর বৃষ্টি হলে তিনি বললেন, ভোরবেলা কতক লোক (আল্লাহর) শোকরগুজার ও কৃতজ্ঞ হয় এবং তাদের কতক আবার অকৃতজ্ঞ হয়ে যায়। তাদের কিছু সংখ্যক বলে এটা (বৃষ্টি) আল্লাহর একান্ত অনুগ্রহ ও রহমতে বর্ষিত হয়েছে। আর তাদের কতক লোক বলে, অমুক অমুক নক্ষত্ৰ সত্যে প্রমাণিত হলো।

বর্ণনাকারী বলেন, এর পরিপ্রেক্ষিতে এ আয়াত নাযিল হলোঃ না, আমি শপথ করছি তারকাসমূহের অবস্থিতি (স্থানের) ..... এখান থেকে ..... "তোমরা তোমাদের রিযককে মিথ্যা প্রতিপন্ন করছ" - (সূরাহ ওয়াকি'আহ ৫৬ঃ ৭৫-৮২) এ পর্যন্ত নাযিল হয়।

حضرت ابن عباس ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ سے روایت ہے کہ رسول اللہ ﷺ نے دور میں لوگوں کو بارش سے نوازا گیا تو نبی اکرم ﷺ نے فرمایا : ’’ لوگوں میں سے کچھ شکر گزار ہو گئے ہیں اور کچھ کافر ( ناشکرے ) ، ( بعض ) لوگوں نے کہا : یہ اللہ کی رحمت ہے اور بعض نے کہا : فلاں فلاں نوء ( ایک ستارے کا غروب اور اس کے سبب سے دوسرے کی بلندی ) سچی نکلی ۔

‘ ‘ ( ابن عباس ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ ) فرماتے ہیں ، اس پر یہ آیت نازل ہوئی : ’’میں ستاروں کے گرنے کی جگہوں کی قسم کھاتا ہوں ۔

‘ ‘ ( سے لے کر ) اس آیت تک : ’’ اور تم اپنا حصہ یہ رکھتے ہو کہ تم اس کی تکذیب کرتے ہو ۔ ‘ ‘

Dan telah menceritakan kepadaku [Abbas bin Abdul Azhim al-Anbari] telah menceritakan kepada kami [an-Nadlar bin Muhammad] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ikrimah] -yaitu Ibnu Ammar- telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Zumail] dia berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Abbas] dia berkata, "Suatu ketika manusia diberi hujan pada masa Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, lalu beliau berkata: "Dengan hujan ini di antara manusia ada yang berubah menjadi hamba yang bersyukur dan ada pula yang kufur.

Sebagian mereka berkata, 'Hujan ini adalah sebuah bukti dari rahmat Allah.' Namun sebagian yang lain berkata, 'Bintang ini dan ini sungguh telah benar'." Ibnu Abbas berkata, "Kemudian turunlah ayat: '(Maka Aku bersumpah dengan masa turun-Nya bagian-bagian bintang) ', sampai ayat: '(dan kamu mengganti rezki (yang Allah berikan) dengan mendustakan Allah) ' (Qs. Qs. Al Waaqi'ah:)

Bana Abbâs b. Abdilâzim el-Anberî rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Nadr b. Muhammed rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize İkrime — ki İbni Ammârdır— rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Ebu Zumeyl rivayet etti.

Dediki: Bana İbn Abbas tahdis edip dedi ki: Nebi (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem) döneminde insanlara yağmur yağdırıldı. Nebi (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem) şöyle buyurdu: "İnsanlardan bir kısmı şükredici bir kısmı da kafir olarak sabahı etti. Onlar: Bu Allah'ın rahmetidir, dediler. Diğer bir kısmı da şu şu yıldızın doğuşu doğru çıktı dediler."

(İbn Abbas) dedi ki: Bunun üzerine şu: "Hayır, işte yıldızların doğup battıkları yerlerine yemin ederim" ayeti "ve rızkınızı yalanlamaktan ibaret mi kalacaksınız" (Vakıa, 75-82) ayetine kadar nazil oldu. Yalnız Müslim rivayet etmiştir; Tuhfetu'l-Eşraf

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pointed out two great virtues while addressing the people: First: Whoever performs ablution well, thoroughly, completely, and perfectly in the prescribed manner, and gives each limb its due amount of water, and then says, I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the servant and Messenger of Allah,

the eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him, and he may enter through whichever one he wishes. Second: Whoever performs this complete and perfect ablution and then stands up and offers two Rak‘ahs, turning to them with his heart in sincerity and Khushū‘ (humility and focus), and submitting his face and all the parts of his body to Allah, Paradise will be guaranteed for him.

What it teaches

  • The Hadīth shows the great bounty of Allah Almighty, as He gives ample rewards for simple deeds.
  • It is prescribed in the Shariah to perform ablution thoroughly and then offer two Rak‘ahs with Khushū‘; this entails a great reward.
  • Performing ablution thoroughly and saying this Dhikr thereafter is one of the causes for entering Paradise.
  • It is also recommended to say this Dhikr after taking a bath.
  • It demonstrates the Companions' keenness on goodness, such as learning knowledge and spreading it, and their cooperation in this regard and the affairs of their life.
  • This Dhikr after ablution purifies the heart and cleanses it from Shirk, just as ablution purifies the body and cleanses it from dirt.
