حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرٌ، (يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُضَرَ) عَنِ ابْنِ الْهَادِ، أَنَّ زِيَادَ بْنَ أَبِي زِيَادٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَيَّاشٍ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ عِرَاكِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

سَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُ، عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ جَاءَتْنِي مِسْكِينَةٌ تَحْمِلُ ابْنَتَيْنِ لَهَا فَأَطْعَمْتُهَا ثَلَاثَ تَمَرَاتٍ فَأَعْطَتْ كُلَّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا تَمْرَةً وَرَفَعَتْ إِلَى فِيهَا تَمْرَةً لِتَأْكُلَهَا فَاسْتَطْعَمَتْهَا ابْنَتَاهَا فَشَقَّتِ التَّمْرَةَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَأْكُلَهَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَأَعْجَبَنِي شَأْنُهَا فَذَكَرْتُ الَّذِي صَنَعَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَوْجَبَ لَهَا بِهَا الْجَنَّةَ أَوْ أَعْتَقَهَا بِهَا مِنَ النَّارِ»

Aishah reported: A poor woman came to me along with her daughters. I gave her three dates. She gave a date to each of them and then she took up one date and brought that to her mouth in order to eat that, but her daughters expressed desire to eat it. She then divided the date that she intended to eat between them. This (kind) treatment of her impressed me and I mentioned that which she did to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).

Thereupon he said: Verily Allah has assured Paradise for her, because of (this act) of her, or He has rescued her from Hell-Fire.

দাউদ ইবনু রুশায়দ (রহঃ) ..... আবূ দারদা (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, এক প্রচণ্ড গরমের দিনে রমযান মাসে আমরা রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর সাথে সফরে বের হলাম। গরম এত প্রচণ্ড ছিল যে, আমাদের প্রত্যেকেই নিজ নিজ হাত মাথার উপর তুলে ধরেছিল। আর মাত্র রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম ও আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু রওয়াহাহ্ (রাযিঃ) ব্যতীত আমাদের মাঝে কেউই সওম পালনকারী ছিল না।

داود بن رشید ، ولید بن مسلم ، سعید بن عبدالعزیز ، اسماعیل ، عبیداللہ ، ام درداء ، حضرت ابو درداء رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت ہے کہ ہم رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے ساتھ رمضان کے مہینے میں گرمی کے موسم میں ایک سفر میں نکلے یہاں تک کہ گرمی کی وجہ سے ہم میں سے کچھ لوگ اپنے ہاتھوں کو اپنے سر پر رکھ لیتے تھے اور ہم میں سے کوئی بھی روزہ دار نہیں تھا سوائے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اور حضرت عبداللہ بن رواحۃ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ کے ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Dawud bin Rusyaid] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Walid bin Muslim] dari [Sa'id bin Abdul Aziz] dari [Isma'il bin Ubaidullah] dari [Ummu Darda`] dari [Abu Darda'] radliallahu 'anhu, ia berkata; "Kami pernah keluar bersama Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam di bulan Ramadlan saat terik matahari begitu menyengat hingga salah seorang dari kami meletakkan tangannya di atas kepala.

Di antara kami tidak ada yang berpuasa kecuali Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam dan Abdullah bin Rawahah

Bize Dâvud b. Ruşeyd rivayet etti. (Dediki) Bize Velîd b. Müslim, Saîd b. Abdîlazîz'den, o da İsmail b. Ubeydillah'dan, o da Ümmü Derda'dan o da Ebu'd-Derdâ, (Radiyallahu anh)'dan naklen rivayet etti. Ebu'd Derdâ şâylc demiş: «Ramazan ayında pek sıcak bir günde Resûlullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) ile birlikte (sefere) çıktık. Sıcağın şiddetinden her birimiz elini başına koyuyordu. Aramızda Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) ile Abdullah b. Revaha'dan başka oruçlu kimse yoktu.»

What it means

The Mother of the Believers, ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that a poor woman carrying her two daughters came begging her. She gave her three dates. The woman gave each daughter one date and raised the third to her mouth to eat it.

But her daughters asked for that date too, so she split it between them. ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) was deeply moved by her conduct and mentioned the woman's action to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).

He said: "Indeed, Allah has made Paradise obligatory for her because of it, or He has freed her from Hellfire because of it."

What it teaches

  • The merit of charity, even if small, for it demonstrates the believer’s sincerity in his belief in his Lord, and his trust in Allah's promise and bounty.
  • The profound mercy of mothers toward their children and their intense fear for their well-being.
  • The merit of selflessness, compassion toward children, and exceptional kindness and gentleness toward daughters, for these are causes of entering Paradise and salvation from Hellfire.
  • One should not refrain from giving charity due to the smallness of the amount. Rather, the giver should donate whatever is easy for them, whether a little or much.
  • This Hadīth reveals the condition of the Prophet's household and how he and his family lived when there was nothing in their home to eat except one date or three dates.
