حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَكْرَمُ النَّاسِ قَالَ: «أَتْقَاهُمْ». قَالُوا: لَيْسَ عَنْ هَذَا نَسْأَلُكَ. قَالَ: «فَيُوسُفُ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ابْنُ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ابْنِ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ابْنِ خَلِيلِ اللَّهِ». قَالُوا: لَيْسَ عَنْ هَذَا نَسْأَلُكَ. قَالَ: «فَعَنْ مَعَادِنِ الْعَرَبِ تَسْأَلُونِي خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الإِسْلَامِ إِذَا فَقِهُوا»

It was said to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) as to who was the most worthy of respect amongst people. He said: The most God-conscious amongst you They said: It is not this that we are asking about, whereupon he said: Then he is Yusuf, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and the son of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), Yaqub, who was also the son of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), the friend of Allah (Ibrahim) They said: This is not what we are asking you.

He said: You mean the tribes of Arabia? Those who are good in pre-Islamic days are good in Islam (after embracing Islam) when they get an understanding of it.

মুহাম্মাদ ইবনু হাতিম ও হারূন ইবনু আবদুল্লাহ (রহঃ) ..... আবূ বাকরের কন্যা আসমা (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর কাছে এসে বললেন, হে আল্লাহর রসূল যুবায়র আমাকে যা কিছু দেয়, এছাড়া আমার কাছে আর কোন মালামাল নেই। আমি যদি এ থেকে দান করি তাহলে আমার কি গুনাহ হবে? তিনি বললেন, তুমি তোমার সামর্থ্য অনুযায়ী দান কর; কিন্তু পুঞ্জীভূত করে রেখে না। যদি জমা করে রাখ তাহলে আল্লাহ জমা করে রাখবেন। তোমাকে দিবেন না।

عباد بن عبد اللہ بن زبیر نے خبر دی کہ انھوں نے حضرت اسماء بنت ابی بکر رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت کی کہ وہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی خدمت میں حا ضر ہو ئیں اور عرض کی ، اے اللہ کے نبی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم !جو کچھ زبیر مجھے دے اس کے سوا میرے پا س کو ئی چیز نہیں ہو تی تو کیا مجھ پر کو ئی گنا ہ تو نہیں کہ جو وہ مجھے دے اس میں سے تھوڑا سا صدقہ کر دوں ؟آپ نے فر ما یا : اپنی طا قت کے مطا بق تھوڑا بھی خرچ کرو اور برتن میں سنبھا ل کر نہ رکھو ورنہ اللہ تعا لیٰ بھی تم سے سنبھا ل کر رکھے گا ۔

Dan telah menceritakan kepadaku [Muhammad bin Hatim] dan [Harun bin Abdullah] keduanya berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hajjaj bin Muhammad] ia berkata; [Ibnu Juraij] berkata, telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Ibnu Abu Mulaikah] bahwa [Abbad bin Abdullah bin Zubair] telah mengabarkan kepadanya, dari [Asma` binti Abu Bakar] bahwa ia mendatangi Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam dan bertanya, "Wahai Nabiyullah, aku tidak punya apa-apa untuk disedekahkan selain yang diberikan Zubair (suamiku) kepadaku (untuk belanja rumah tangga).

Berdosakah aku apabila uang belanja itu aku sedekahkan alakadarnya?" maka beliau pun menjawab: "Sedekahkanlah ala kadarnya sesuai dengan kemampuanmu, dan jangan menghitung-hitung, karena Allah akan menghitung-hitung pula pemberian-Nya kepadamu, dan jangan pula kikir sehingga Allah akan menyempitkan rizkimu

Bana Muhammed b. Hatim ile Hârûn b. Abdillâh rivayet ettiler. (Dediler ki): Bize Haccâc b. Muhammed rivayet etti. (Dediki): ibni Cüreyc şunu söyledi: Bana îbni Ebî Müleyke haber verdi, ona da Abbâd b. Abdillâh b. Zübeyr, Esma binti Ebi Bekir'den naklen haber vermiş ki, Esma', Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'e gelerek: — «Yâ Nebiyullah!

Zübeyr'in bana getirdiği şeylerden başka hiç bir şeyim yok. Onun bana getirdiklerinden bir parça infâk etsem bana bir günah var mıdır?» demiş-, Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem): — «Gücünün yettiğİ kadar infâkta bulun. Malının fazlasını saklama ki Allah da sana fazl-u ihsanını kesmesin.» buyurmuşlar

What it means

The Hadīth explains that the most honorable among people in terms of ancestry, lineage, and origins are the best during the pre-Islamic era, provided that they attain religious knowledge. For example, it is known that Banu Hāshim are the best of Quraysh in Islam, provided that they understand Allah's religion and learn its rulings.

However, failing to attain understanding in religion, noble lineage will be of no avail. If one is of a high lineage and from the most noble of Arab ancestry, this will not make such a person from the most honorable of creation in the sight of Allah. Based on this, a person is honored by his lineage, on condition that he possesses understanding of the religion.
