حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، (وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ الْجَلِيسِ الصَّالِحِ وَالْجَلِيسِ السَّوْءِ كَحَامِلِ الْمِسْكِ وَنَافِخِ الْكِيرِ فَحَامِلُ الْمِسْكِ إِمَّا أَنْ يُحْذِيَكَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَبْتَاعَ مِنْهُ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَجِدَ مِنْهُ رِيحًا طَيِّبَةً وَنَافِخُ الْكِيرِ إِمَّا أَنْ يُحْرِقَ ثِيَابَكَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَجِدَ رِيحًا خَبِيثَةً»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: The similitude of good company and that of bad company is that of the owner of musk and of the one (iron-smith) blowing bellows, and the owner of musk would either offer you free of charge or you would buy it from him or you would. smell its pleasant odour, and so far as one who blows the. bellows is concerned, he would either burn your clothes or you shall have to smell its repugnant smell.

আবূ বকর ইবনু আবূ শায়বাহ ও আবূ কুরায়ব (রহঃ) ..... হিশাম (রহঃ) থেকে এ সানাদে অনুরূপ হাদীস বর্ণনা করেছেন। হামযাহ (রাযি.) বলেন, আমি সর্বদা সওম পালন করি। সুতরাং সফরে আমি কি সওম পালন করব?

ابو بکر بن ابی شیبہ ابو کریب ، ابن نمیر ، ابو بکر عبداالرحیم بن سلیمان ، حضرت ہشام سے اس سند کے ساتھ روایت ہے کہ حضرت حمزہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ نے کہا کہ میں ایک روزے دار آدمی ہوں تو کیا میں سفر میں بھی روزہ رکھوں؟

Bize Ebû Bekir b. Ebî Şeybe ile Ebû Kureyb rivayet ettiler. (Dedilerki): Bize İbni Numeyr rivayet etti. Ebû Bekir şöyle dedi: Bize Abdurrahim b. Süleyman rivayet etti. Her iki râvi Hişâm'dan bu isnâdla Hamza'nın: «Ben, devamlı oruç tutan bir adamım. Seferde oruç tutabilir miyim?» dediğini rivayet eylediler

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) provided an example for two types of people: First type: The righteous companion and friend who guides others to Allah and to what pleases Him and helps others obey Him. His example is like that of the musk seller who will either give you some thereof, or you will buy from him, or you will smell and get from him a pleasant fragrance. Second type: The evil companion and friend who turns others away from the path of Allah and helps them commit sins, the one whom you see doing evil deeds and you receive criticism for being in his company.

His example is like that of the blacksmith who blows his fire and either burns your clothes with the flying sparks of fire or you get a nasty smell from being close to him.

What it teaches

  • Exemplification is permissible to make it easier for the listener to grasp the meaning.
  • Encouraging and urging people to accompany the righteous and the doers of good and avoid the doers of evil and those with bad morals.
