وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

قَالَتْ: إِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيُحِبُّ التَّيَمُّنَ فِي طُهُورِهِ إِذَا تَطَهَّرَ وَفِي تَرَجُّلِهِ إِذَا تَرَجَّلَ وَفِي انْتِعَالِهِ إِذَا انْتَعَلَ

মুহাম্মাদ ইবনু আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু নুমায়র (রহঃ) ..... 'আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু মাসউদ (রাযিঃ) বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম বলেছেন, অন্য বর্ণনায় রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম কে বলতে শুনেছি। যে ব্যক্তি আল্লাহর সাথে কোন কিছুকে শারীক করে মারা যাবে সে জাহান্নামে প্রবেশ করবে। আমি বলি, যে ব্যক্তি আল্লাহর সাথে অন্য কাউকে শারীক না করা অবস্থায় মারা যায় সে জান্নাতে প্রবেশ করবে।

عبد اللہ بن نمیر اور وکیع نے اعمش سے ، انہوں نے شقیق سے اور انہوں نے حضرت عبد اللہ ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ سے روایت کی ( وکیع نے کہا : عبد اللہ بن مسعود ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ نےکہا : رسول اللہﷺ نے فرمایا : ’’ اور عبد اللہ بن نمیر نے کہا : عبد اللہ بن مسعود ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ نے کہا : میں نے رسول اللہﷺ سے سنا ) آپ فرما رہے تھے : ’’جو شخص اس حالت میں مرا کہ وہ اللہ کے ساتھ کسی چیز کو شریک ٹھہراتا تھا ، وہ آگ میں داخل ہو گا ۔

‘ ‘ اور میں ( عبد اللہ ) نے کہا : جو اس حالت میں مرا کہ وہ اللہ کے شرک نہ کرتا تھا ، وہ جنت میں داخل ہو گا ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Numair] telah menceritakan kepada kami [bapakku], dan [Waki'] dari [al-A'masy] dari [Syaqiq] dari [Abdullah], Waki' berkata, "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda, sedangkan Ibnu Numair berkata, "Saya mendengar Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Barangsiapa meninggal dalam keadaan menyekutukan Allah dengan sesuatu, maka ia masuk neraka."

Dan aku berkata, "Saya dan orang yang meninggal dengan tidak menyekutukan Allah dengan sesuatu pun (niscaya) masuk surga

Bize Muhammed b. Abdullah b. Numeyr tahdis etti. Bize babam ve Veki' A'meş'den tahdis etti. O Şakik'den, o Abdullah'tan -Veki' rivayetinde Abdullah'ın-: Resulullah (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem) şöyle buyurdu, dedi (diye rivayet etti). İbn Numeyr de (Abdullah): Resulullah (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem)'i şöyle buyururken dinledim (diye naklettiğini) söyledi: "Kim Allah'a bir şeyi ortak koşarak ölürse, cehennem'e girer."

(Abdullah dedi ki): Ben de derim ki: Kim Allah'a hiçbir şeyi ortak koşmaksızın ölürse cennete girer. Diğer tahric: Buhari, 1181,4227, 6305; Tuhfetu'I-Eşraf

Sahih Muslim 268a, Book 2, The Book of Purification, Hadith 83. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would like and prefer to begin with the right side in all matters worthy of honor. This includes the following: He would begin with the right foot in putting on his sandals, and begin with the right side in grooming, combing, and oiling his hair and beard; and in his ablution, he would start with the right side in washing his hands and feet.

What it teaches

  • An-Nawawi said: This is a constant rule in the Shariah: that in doing any activity worthy of honor, like wearing a garment, lower garment, and sandals, entering the mosque, using the Siwāk (tooth-stick), applying kohl, clipping the nails, trimming the mustache, combing the hair, plucking the armpit hair, shaving the head, making Taslīm in prayer, washing the parts to be washed in ablution, leaving the lavatory, eating and drinking, shaking hands, touching the Black Stone, etc., it is recommended to start with the right side. As for the opposite activities, like entering the lavatory, leaving the mosque, blowing the nose, Istinjā’ (cleaning oneself after urinating or defecating), putting off garment, pants, and sandals, and the like, it is recommended to begin with the left side. This is all due to the high status and honor of the right side.
  • "The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) preferred beginning with the right side" includes beginning activities with the right hand, the right leg, and the right side, and receiving anything from the right side.
  • An-Nawawi said: Know that it is not recommended to begin with the right side in washing some parts of ablution, namely the ears, the hands, and the cheeks. Each pair of them should be purified at once. If this is not possible, like in the case of a one-armed person, he should begin with the right side.
