حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَحْرٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ

قَالَ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا النَّجَاةُ قَالَ: «أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ لِسَانَكَ وَلْيَسَعْكَ بَيْتُكَ وَابْكِ عَلَى خَطِيئَتِكَ»

“I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! What is the means to salvation?’ He said: ‘That you control your tongue, suffice yourself your house, and cry over your sins.’”

উকবা ইবনু আমির (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত আছে, তিনি বলেন, আমি বললাম, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! মুক্তির উপায় কি? তিনি বললেনঃ তুমি তোমার রসনা সংযত রাখ, তোমার বাসস্থান যেন তোমার জন্য প্রশস্ত হয় (অর্থাৎ তুমি তোমার বাড়ীতে অবস্থান কর) এবং তোমার গুনাহের জন্য ক্ৰন্দন কর। সহীহ, সহীহাহ (৮৮৮)। আবূ ঈসা বলেন, এ হাদীসটি হাসান।

عقبہ بن عامر رضی الله عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ میں نے عرض کیا: اللہ کے رسول! نجات کی کیا صورت ہے؟ آپ نے فرمایا: ”اپنی زبان کو قابو میں رکھو، اپنے گھر کی وسعت میں مقید رہو اور اپنی خطاؤں پر روتے رہو“ ۱؎۔ امام ترمذی کہتے ہیں: یہ حدیث حسن ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Shalih bin Abdullah] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Al Mubarak], dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Suwaid] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Al Mubarak] dari [Yahya bin Ayyub] dari ['Ubaidillah bin Zahr] dari ['Ali bin Yazid] dari [Al Qasim] dari [Abu Umamah] dari ['Uqbah bin 'Amir] berkata, Aku bertanya: Wahai Rasulullah bagaimana supaya selamat?

beliau menjawab: "Jagalah lisanmu, hendaklah rumahmu membuatmu lapang dan menangislah karena dosa dosamu." Abu Isa berkata: Hadits ini hasan

Ukbe b. Âmir (r.a.)’den rivâyete göre, şöyle demiştir: Rasûlullah (s.a.v.)’e kurtuluş nedir? Diye sordum. Buyurdular ki: “Diline sahip ol; evin başına dar gelmesin, günahlarından dolayı ağla.” Tirmizî rivâyet etmiştir. Tirmizî: Bu hadis hasendir

The note in this edition

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ

What it means

‘Uqbah ibn ‘Āmir (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) about the means of the believer's salvation in this world and the Hereafter. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Adhere to three things: First: Hold back your tongue from whatever is devoid of goodness and from saying anything evil, and utter only what is good. Second: Abide in your house to worship Allah in seclusion, engage in obeying Allah Almighty, and retire in your house away from temptations. Third: Weep and regret the sins you have committed.

What it teaches

  • The Companions' keenness to know the means of salvation.
  • Clarifying the means of salvation in this world and the Hereafter.
  • Encouraging the act of being preoccupied with oneself when one is incapable of benefitting others or fears that he or his religion might be subject to harm if he mingles with people.
  • Indication of paying attention to one's house, especially at times of turmoil, as it is among the means of maintaining one's religion.
