حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْهُدَى وَالتُّقَى وَالْعَفَافَ وَالْغِنَى»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to supplicate (in these words): “ O Allah. I beg of Thee the right guidance, safeguard against evils, chastity and freedom from want.”

ইয়াহইয়া ইবনু ইয়াহইয়া (রহঃ) ..... উম্মুল মুমিনীন আয়িশাহ (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম একাধারে সিয়াম (রোজা/রোযা) পালন করতে থাকতেন। ফলে আমরা বলাবলি করতাম, তিনি আর সিয়াম ভঙ্গ করবেন না। আবার এমনভাবে তিনি ক্রমাগত সিয়াম ছাড়তে থাকতেন যাতে আমরা বলতাম, তিনি বুঝি আর (এ মাসে) সিয়াম পালন করবেন না। আমি তাকে কখনো রমযান মাস ছাড়া অন্য কোন মাসে অধিক সিয়াম পালন করতেও দেখিনি।

عمر بن عبیداللہ کے آزاد کردہ غلام ابو نضر نے ابو سلمہ بن عبدالرحمان ( بن عوف ) سے اور انھوں نے ام المومنین حضرت عائشہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا سے رویت کی کہ انھوں نے کہا : رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم روزے رکھتے حتی کہ ہم کہتے : آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم روزے ترک نہیں کریں گے اور آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم روزے چھوڑ دیتے حتیٰ کہ ہم کہتے آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم روزے نہیں رکھیں گے ،

اور میں نے دیکھا کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے رمضان کے سوا کبھی کسی مہینے کے پورے روزے رکھے ہوں ، اور میں نے نہیں دیکھا کہ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے کسی ( اور ) مہینے میں اس سے زیادہ روزے رکھے ہوں جتنے شعبان میں رکھتے تھے ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yahya bin Yahya] ia berkata, saya telah membacakan kepada [Malik] dari [Abu Nadlr] Maula Umar bin Ubaidullah, dari [Abu Salamah bin Abdurrahman] dari [Aisyah] Ummul Mukminin, bahwa ia berkata; "Sudah biasa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam berpuasa beberapa hari, hingga kami mengira bahwa beliau akan berpuasa terus.

Namun beliau juga biasa berbuka (tidak puasa) beberapa hari hingga kami mengira bahwa beliau akan tidak puasa terus. Dan aku tidak pernah melihat Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam menyempurnakan puasanya sebulan penuh, kecuali Ramadlan. Dan aku juga tidak pernah melihat beliau puasa sunnah dalam sebulan yang lebih banyak daripada puasanya ketika bulan Sya'ban

Bize Yahya b. Yahya rivayet etti. (Dediki) Mâlike, Ömer b. Ubeydullah'ın azatlısı Ebu'n-Nadr'dan dinlediğim, onun da Ebû Selemete'bni Abdirrahman'dan, onun da Ümmü'l-Mü'minin Aişe (Radiyallahû anha)'dan naklen rivayet ettiği şu hadîsi okudum: Âişe şöyle demiş: «Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) o derece oruç tutardı ki biz: Bu artık orucu bırakmaz, derdik.

(Bazen de) orucu öyle terkederdi ki: Artık bu oruç tutmaz, derdik. Ben Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'in Ramazan'dan başka hiç bir ay'ı kamilen oruçla geçirdiğini görmedim. Şa'ban ayı kadar hiç bir ayda çok oruç tuttuğunu da görmedim.»

What it means

Among the supplications of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was: "O Allah, I ask You for guidance", i.e., the straight path of knowing the truth and acting upon it, "piety", i.e., adhering to commands and avoiding prohibitions, "chastity", i.e., refraining from what is unlawful or unsuitable of words or deeds, "and self-sufficiency", i.e., being free from want of others, and needing none but one's Lord, the Almighty.

What it teaches

  • The nobility of these qualities of: guidance, piety, chastity, and self-sufficiency, and the encouragement to adopt them.
  • The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) cannot benefit or harm himself, as all this is within the power of Allah Almighty.
  • The One who possesses the power to bring benefit, harm, and guidance to the creation is Allah alone—neither a close angel, a sent prophet, nor anyone else.
