حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ، وَغَيْرُ، وَاحِدٍ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ قُرَّةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مِنْ حُسْنِ إِسْلَامِ الْمَرْءِ تَرْكُهُ مَا لَا يَعْنِيهِ». قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Indeed among the excellence of a person’s Islam is that he leaves what does not concern him.”

আবূ হুরাইরা (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত আছে, তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ কোন ব্যক্তির ইসলামের অন্যতম সৌন্দর্য হলো অনর্থক আচরণ ত্যাগ করা। সহীহ, ইবনু মা-জাহ (৩৯৭৬)। আবূ ঈসা বলেন, এ হাদীসটি গারীব। আমরা শুধুমাত্র আবূ সালামা হতে আবূ হুরাইরা (রাঃ)-এর বরাতে রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লামের সূত্রে বর্ণিত রিওয়ায়াত হিসাবে এটি জেনেছি।

ابوہریرہ رضی الله عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: ”کسی شخص کے اسلام کی خوبی یہ ہے کہ وہ لایعنی اور فضول باتوں کو چھوڑ دے“ ۱؎۔ امام ترمذی کہتے ہیں: ۱- یہ حدیث غریب ہے، ۲- ہم اس حدیث کو ابوسلمہ کی روایت سے جسے وہ ابوہریرہ رضی الله عنہ سے اور ابوہریرہ رضی الله عنہ نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے روایت کرتے ہیں صرف اسی سند سے جانتے ہیں۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ahmad bin Nashr An Naisaburi] dan yang lainnya telah menceritakan kepada kami mereka berkata bahwa [Abu Mushir] telah menceritakan kepada kami dari [Isma'il bin 'Abdullah bin Sama'ah] dari [Al Auza'i] dari [Qurroh] dari [Az Zuhri] dari [Abu Salamah] dari [Abu Hurairah] dia berkata bahwa Rasulullah Shallallahu 'alaihi wa salam bersabda: " Di antara tanda baiknya Islam seseorang adalah meninggalkan sesuatu yang tidak bermanfaat baginya."

Dia berkata: Hadits ini gharib, kami tidak mengetahuinya dari Hadits Abu Salamah dari Abu Hurairah dari Nabi Shallallahu 'alaihi wa Salam kecuali dari Jalur sanad ini

Ebû Hureyre (r.a.)’den rivâyete göre, Rasûlullah (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem) şöyle buyurmuştur: “Bir kimsenin lüzumsuz ve boş şeyleri terk etmesi iyi bir Müslüman oluşundandır.” Diğer tahric: İbn Mâce, Fiten (h.no:3976) Tirmizî: Bu hadis garib olup bu hadisi Ebû Seleme’nin Ebû Hüreyre’den bu şekilde rivâyetiyle bilmekteyiz.

What it means

The Prophet (ﷺ) clarified that part of the perfection and beauty of a Muslim's Islam, and the completeness of his faith, is keeping away from what does not concern him, and what does not pertain to him, what does not benefit him of words and deeds, or matters of religion and worldly life that are of no relevance to him. Being preoccupied with what does not concern a person may distract him from what truly does, or may lead him to what he must avoid. For indeed, a person will be held accountable for his deeds on the Day of Judgment.

What it teaches

  • People are of varying degrees in terms of their Islam, and it grows more excellent through some deeds.
  • Abandonment of idle and intrusive talk and action is a sign of the excellence of a person's Islam.
  • We are urged to preoccupy ourselves with religious and worldly matters that concern us. If it is part of the excellence of a person's Islam that he leaves what does not concern him, it is also part of its excellence that he gets preoccupied with what concerns him.
  • Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: The Prophet (ﷺ) summarized Wara‘ (piety/caution) in one sentence, saying: "Part of a person’s excellence in Islam is his leaving what does not concern him." This includes abandonment of what does not concern a person, like certain speech, looking, listening, striking, walking, thinking, and other movements, inward and outward. This is a sufficient and adequate statement on Wara‘.
  • Ibn Rajab said: This Hadīth is a fundamental principle of good manners.
  • We are urged to seek knowledge, for this is the means by which a person knows what concerns him and what does not.
  • Enjoining good and forbidding evil and rendering advice are among the things that should concern a person, for he is required to do them.
  • It falls under the general meaning of this Hadīth that we should keep away from what does not concern us among the things prohibited by Allah Almighty and disliked by the Prophet (ﷺ), and also those needless matters related to the Hereafter, like the facts of the unseen, and the details of the judgment among the creation; this also includes asking and searching about supposed issues that have not occurred, are unlikely to occur, or their occurrence is inconceivable.
