حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ حُبَابٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ، رضى الله عنه

أَنَّ رَجُلاً، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ شَرَائِعَ الإِسْلَامِ قَدْ كَثُرَتْ عَلَىَّ فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِشَيْءٍ أَتَشَبَّثُ بِهِ. قَالَ: «لَا يَزَالُ لِسَانُكَ رَطْبًا مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ»

A man said: “O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), indeed, the legislated acts of Islam have become too much for me, so inform me of a thing that I should stick to.” He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Let not your tongue cease to be moist with the remembrance of Allah.”

আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু বুসর (রাযিঃ) হতে বর্ণিত আছে, এক লোক অতিরিক্ত বলল, হে আল্লাহর রাসুল! আমার জন্য ইসলামের শারী'আতের বিষয়াদি অতিরিক্ত হয়ে গেছে। সুতরাং আমাকে এমন একটি বিষয় জানান, যা আমি শক্তভাবে আঁকড়ে থাকতে পারি। তিনি বললেনঃ সর্বদা তোমার জিহ্বা যেন আল্লাহ তা'আলার যিকরের দ্বারা সিক্ত থাকে। সহীহঃ ইবনু মাজাহ (হাঃ ৩৭৯৩)। আবূ ঈসা বলেন, উপরোক্ত সূত্রে এ হাদীসটি হাসান গারীব।

عبداللہ بن بسر سے روایت ہے کہ ایک آدمی نے کہا: اللہ کے رسول! اسلام کے احکام و قوانین تو میرے لیے بہت ہیں، کچھ تھوڑی سی چیزیں مجھے بتا دیجئیے جن پر میں ( مضبوطی ) سے جما رہوں، آپ نے فرمایا: ”تمہاری زبان ہر وقت اللہ کی یاد اور ذکر سے تر رہے“ ۱؎۔ امام ترمذی کہتے ہیں: یہ حدیث اس سند سے حسن غریب ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Kuraib] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Zaid bin Hubab] dari [Mu'awiyah bin Shalih] dari ['Amru bin Qais] dari [Abdullah Busr radliallahu 'anhu] bahwa seorang laki-laki berkata; wahai rasulullah, sesungguhnya syari'at-syari'at Islam telah banyak yang menjadi kewajibanku, maka beritahukan kepadaku sesuatu yang dapat aku jadikan sebagai pegangan!

Beliau bersabda: "Hendaknya senantiasa lidahmu basah karena berdzikir kepada Allah." Abu Isa berkata; hadits ini adalah hadits hasan gharib dari sisi ini

Abdullah b. Büsr (r.a.)’den rivâyet edilmiştir. Bir adam: “Ey Allah’ın Rasûlü! İslamın nafile ibadetleri bana ağır geldi, devamlı yapabileceğim bir şey ver ki ona sarılayım” dedi. Rasûlullah (s.a.v.) şöyle buyurdu: “Dilin devamlı olarak Allah’ı hatırlayarak ıslak kalmalı.” Diğer tahric: İbn Mâce, Edeb Tirmizî: Bu hadis bu şekliyle hasen garibtir

The note in this edition

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ

What it means

A man complained to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) that the supererogatory acts of worship had become too much for him and that he could not perform them given his weakness.

He, then, asked the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) to guide him to an easy deed that would bring abundant rewards so he could adhere and hold on to it. He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) advised him to keep his tongue moist and moving by remembering Allah Almighty recurrently at all times and in all states by glorifying and praising Him, seeking forgiveness from Him, supplicating Him, etc.

What it teaches

  • The merit of remembering Allah Almighty constantly.
  • Facilitating the means of attaining reward is part of Allah's great favor.
  • People vary in terms of their share of righteousness and goodness.
  • Remembering Allah frequently by the tongue, through Tasbīh (glorification of Allah), Tahmīd (praising Allah), Tahlīl (declaring the oneness of Allah), and Takbīr (proclaiming the greatness of Allah), besides other forms of Dhikr, along with the agreement of the heart, can replace many of the supererogatory acts of worship.
  • The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was so considerate in dealing with the questioners, as he would answer each in the way that was suitable for him.
