Pichle hafte humne, Quran ke introduction ka doosra hissa suna, jiss me sawal-o-jawab ke alawa, Quran apne baare me kya kehta hai, wali ayaat par ghaur kiya. Aaj ke Session me hum Ahadith jo Quran ke mutalliq ayee hain, unn par nazar daalte hain;
Teesra Section: Ahadith Quran ke baare me kya kehti hain?
Iss section ko humne 14 hisson me banta hai, to pehla sub-section hai;
1. Azmat-e-Quran par ahadith
- Tamam kalaam ke muqable me, Allah ke kalaam ki fazeelat aisi hai jaise Allah ki fazeelat makhlooq par,[1]
- Har nabi ko maujeze diye gaye, jiss ki wajah se log Allah par Iman laye, Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya, lekin mujhe jo maujeza diya gaya hai, wo wahi hai – jo Allah ne mujhe communicate kiya hai – yani ke Quran…[2]
- Ali (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) se riwayat hai ke, Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya, anqareeb ek bohot bada fitnah ayega, to maine (Ali RA ne) poochha: iss fitne se nikalne ka kya raasta hai ya Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم)? Aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke: Allah ki Kitab – ab yahan se suniye, Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ki muh-zubani Azmat-e-Quran ka bayan; [3]
- Iss me tum se pehle jo log the unn ki bhi khabrein hain (qaum-e-aad, qaum-e-samood, qaum-e-saleh, qaum-e-nooh, ye sab hain) aur tumhare baad jo aane wale halaat hain uss ki khabrein hain, (sirf hume tehqeeq karne ki zaroorat hai)
- Aur jo bhi ikhtelafaat tumhare darmiyan honge, uss ka faisla bhi iss kitab me maujood hai, (kaash ke hamare mazhabi ikhtelafat ko door karne ke liye, hum Quran ki taraf ruju karte)
- Ye faisla-kun kalam hai, aise hi koi mazaq nahi hai (ye Quran ki ayaat hain)
- Koi zalim shaks apni sarkashi me, ya na-farmani me iss Quran ko tark kar dega, to Allah uss ko pees kar rakh dega,
- Koi shaks Quran ko chhorrh kar kisi aur cheez se hidayat hasil karna chahega, Allah uss ko laziman gumrah karega, (kyun ke Kitab-e-Hidayat to ye hai)
- Aur yehi to hai, Allah ki mazboot rassi,
- Aur ye hakeemana zikr hai, (sab se bada zikr Quran hai)
- Aur ye hi seedha raasta hai (har namaz me hum parrhte, ihdinas siraatal mustaqeem aur Rasoolullah SAWS keh rahe hain ke, yehi to hai seedha raasta, jo Allah ne tumhe de diya hai Quran ki shakal me)
- Ye wo cheez hai, jiss ke hote huwe, khwahish-e-nafs aap ko bigaad nahi degi (iss ke hote huwe, kabhi tedha-pan, gumarahi, crookedness nahi ayega tumhare andar)
- Logon ki zabanein iss ko marorrh nahi sakti, Quran apni hifazat khud karta hai (iss ke alfaaz ko todh modh ke bolne se matlab nahi badlega, Quran par aisa koi hamla nahi ho sakta)
- Iss par baatil hamla-awar ho hi nahi sakta, na saamne se na peeche se,
- Ulama iss Quran se kabhi seri mehsoos nahi karenge (kabhi bhi ye mehsoos nahi karenge ke, Quran se hum ko jo lena tha, le liye – ab kuch nahi raha, jitni baar parrho – har baar lagega ke koi nai cheez aa rahi hai)
- Baar baar ke parrhne se iss par koi baasipan taari nahi hoga,
- Aur iss ke ajaib kabhi khatam nahi honge, (ye heeron ki wo khaan hai jo kabhi khatam nahi hogi – jitna ghaur karoge nikaalte rahoge)
- Ye wo kitab hai, jisay jaise hi jinno ne suna, fauran kaha ke humne ek bohot umdah kalam suna hai aur hum iman le aaye, (ek baar suna to ye haal huwa ke wo daaee ban kar apni qaum ki taraf chale gaye, aur apni qaum ko dawat dene lage, Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko maanne ki dawat aur Quran ko tasleem karne ki dawat)
- Jiss ne iss Quran ki buniyaad par koi baat kahi, uss ne sach kaha,
- Jiss ne iss par amal kiya, uss ka ajr, mehfooz ho gaya,
- Jiss ne iss ki buniyaad par faisla kiya, uss ne adal kiya, he has does justice,
- Ab ye aakhri aur sab se behtareen statement hai ke, Jiss ne logon ko Quran ki taraf bulaya, kisi ki hidayat ho ya na ho, uss ki hidayat ho gayee.
- Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) iss koshish ko hum se qabool kar le.
- Sahih Ibn Hibban ki ek hadith me aya hai ke, Quran Allah ki wo rassi hai, jiss ka ek sira bande ke haath me hai, aur iss ka doosra sira Allah ke haath me hai, iss ko mazbooti se pakde raho, kabhi bhi gumrah na honge.[4]
2. Acha aur Sacha Kalaam, Quran
- Aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya; Sab se acha kalaam, Allah ki kitab hai aur sab se acha tareeqa – chaal chalan, Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ka tareeqa hai,[5]
- Jab Quran hamare paas hai to hume, doosri kitabon ki taraf dekhne ki zaroorat nahi, iss hadith se lagta hai ke, ye masala aaj hi ka nahi hai, pehle se hota aa raha hai, Ibn Abbas (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) farmate hain ke, tum ahle kitab se unn ki kitabon ke masail ke baare me kyun sawal karte ho, tumhare paas khud Allah ki Kitab maujood hai, jo zamane ke aitebaar se bhi tum se sab se zyada qareeb hai, tum usay parrhte ho, wo khalis hai, pure hai, uss me koi milawat nahi,[6]
- Umar (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) ek intellectual the, unn ko taurait me kuch pasand aa gaya, jo wo aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ke saamne la kar parrhne lage, aur
- jaise hi aap parrhne lage, Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ka chehra ka rang tabdeel hone laga,
- to Abu Bakr (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) ke ishaare par Umar (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) ne Rasoolullah ki taraf dekha to aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ka chehra laal tha,
- To Umar (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) fauran kaha ke, main Allah ki panah mangta hoon, Allah ke aur Rasoolullah ke ghazab se, main Allah ke Rabb hone se raazi hoon, Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ke nabi hone se raazi hoon, aur Islam ka deen hone se raazi hoon,
- Iss par Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya, agar aaj Musa (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) zinda hote, aur meri nubuwwat ka unhe pata chalta to wo meri hi itteba karte.[7]
3. Quran par shak karna kufr hai
- Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) Quran me, Surah Sajdah ki doosri ayat me farmate hain ke, iss kitab ka utara jana, bila-shuba tamam jahano ke paalne wale malik ki taraf se hai,[8]
- Aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke, Quran par shak karna kufr hai, matlab Quran par shak karna uss ka inkaar karna hai, uss ko na maanne ke barabar hai,[9]
4. Nubuwwat ka Darja
- Jiss kisi ne Quran ko parrha ya yaad kar liye, uss ne Nubuwwat ka ek darja apne seene me mehfooz kar liya hai, jab ke uss par wahi nahi ki gayi hai. Jiss ke seene me Quran ho, uss ko ye zaib nahi deta ke, wo ghusse me aane wale par naraz ho, aur na hi jahilon ke sath koi jahelana kaam kare, jab ke Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) ka kalam uss ke seene me maujood hai.[10]
5. Quran ka parrhna noor hai
- Aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya; tum par lazim hai ke, Allah ka taqwa ikhtiyar karo (Allah se dar kar gunaho se bacho), kyun ke, taqwa – tamam achaiyon ko jama kar leta hai. Jihad ki aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne talqeen ki, phir kaha ke, tum par lazim hai ke, Allah ka zikr karo, yani Allah ko yaad karo, aur uss ki kitab ki tilawat karo, matlab Quran ko reflect karo, kyun ke, ye noor hai iss duniya me aur iss ki tilawat ke zariye, tumhara zikr aasmano wale bhi karte hain.[11]
- Abu Dhar Ghifari (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) farmate hain ke, Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya, Tum Allah ke paas, iss se behtar cheez le kar nahi lautoge, jo uss ki taraf se aya hai, yani ke Quran.[12]
- Jitna parrhoge, samjhoge, aur amal karoge, utna behtar hoga Qiyamat ke din.
6. Quran Parrhne walon ke liye Shifa’at Karega
- Roza aur Quran bande ke liye shifa’at karenge Qiyamat ke din. Roza kahega, Aye mere paalne waale malik, maine iss ko khaane se aur khaheshaat se din bhar roke rakha, to iss ke liye meri shifa’at qabool kar. Aur Quran kahega, maine iss ko sone se raat bhar roke rakha, to iss ke liye meri shifa’at qabool kar, aur issi tarah wo shifa’at karenge.[13]
- Muslim ki ek hadith me, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke, Quran parrha karo, ke ye shifa’at karega Qiyamat ke din uss ke parrhne walon ke liye.[14]
- Quran ki suratein Shifa’at karengi, Surah al-Baqarah, Surah aal-Imran,[15]Surah al-Mulk, Surah al-Sajdah Qiyamat ke din, wo addh jayengi Allah ke saamne[16]
- Ek aur hadith me aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke, Quran Shaafe hai, uss ki Shifa’at qabool ki jaati hai, aur uss ki darkhaast maan li jaati hai. Jo koi iss ke peechhe chalega, to wo uss ko jannat tak le jayega, aur jiss kisi ne uss ko apne peechhe chhorrh diya, to uss ko ghaseet kar dozaq me daal diya jayega.[17]
- Aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke, Quran gawah hai, tumhare haq me ya tumhare khilaf,[18]
- Aye Allah Quran ko hamare haq me gawah bana de, aur hamare haq me hujjat bana de, hamare khilaf nahi, Ameen
7. Tableegh Quran se honi chahiye
- Abdullah Ibn Amr (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُما) se Riwayat hai ke, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke,
بَلِّغُوا عَنِّي وَلَوْ آيَةً
“Mera paighaam logon ko pahuncha do, agar-che ek hi ayat ho…”[19]
- Ek lambi hadith me hai ke, kis tarah aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) Quran se tableegh kiya karte the, Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) se Quraish pareshan the, aap ke ye tableegh ke kaam ki wajah se, Quraish ne Utbah ibn Rabie ko aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ke paas bhejte hain convince karne ke liye ke tableegh ka kaam chhorrh de. Utbah kayee sawal karta hai, jiss ka aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) jawab nahi dete.
- Phir aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) poochte hain ke, kya tumhari baat khatam ho gayee, Utbah kehta hai, haan. To aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne Surah Fussilat ki ayaat tialawat ki;
حمٓ
تَنزِيلٌۭ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
كِتَـٰبٌۭ فُصِّلَتْ ءَايَـٰتُهُۥ قُرْءَانًا عَرَبِيًّۭا لِّقَوْمٍۢ يَعْلَمُونَ
.
.
.
فَإِنْ أَعْرَضُوا۟ فَقُلْ أَنذَرْتُكُمْ صَـٰعِقَةًۭ مِّثْلَ صَـٰعِقَةِ عَادٍۢ وَثَمُودَ
- Aur aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne tera ayaat parrhi aur jo aakhri ayat aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne tilawat ki, uss ka matlab hai ke, To Aye Nabi (صلى الله عليه وسلم) agar ye log, apna muh pher lein, to aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) keh dijiye ke main ne to tumhe khabardaar kar diya hai, ek aisi khaufnak kadak se, jaisi ke qaum-e-Aad aur Thamood ki kadak thi.[20]
- Yahan Utbah kehne laga ke bas-bas, aur wo wahan se bhaag khada huwa. Aur Quraish ko ja kar sara mamela sunaya, aur inn ayat ka asar uss par aisa huwa ke, wo samajhne laga ke, wo zor daar kadak bas ab garajne wali hai.
- Ye impact hai Quran ka, agar koi iss ko samajh le, to kya hi baat hai, aur tableegh me iss ka asar hum dekhte hain, log Quran ko sunn kar aur uss ko parrh kar – iman laate hain.
8. Musalmano me sab se behtareen
- Aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke, Insano ke darmiyan, Allah wale log hain, poocha gaya ke ye kaun hain, to aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ye Quran wale log hain, Allah wale hain, jo sab se qareeb hain Allah ke.[21]
- Aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke, tum me se behtareen wo log hain jo Quran seekhe aur sikhaaye.[22]
- Shuhada ko dafnaate waqt, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne poochha ke inn me se Quran sab se zyada kaun jaanta tha? To jo zyada Quran jaanta tha, to uss ko aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) pehle dafnaye.[23]
- Jis kisi ne raat ko qiyamul lail kiya aur dus ayaat parrhi – uss ka naam ghafilon me nahi likha jayega, aur jis kisi ne 100 ayat parrhi – unn ko farma-bardaron me likha jayega aur jo ek hazar ayat parrhe uss ke liye be-hisaab ajar hoga.[24]
9. Ajeeb-o-Ghareeb Iman kis ka hai?
- Musnad Bazzar ki hadith, Anas Ibn Malik (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) se riwayat hai ke, Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne poochha;
- Ajeeb-o-Ghareeb iman kis ka hai?
- Sahaba (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُم) ne farmaya ke, Farishton ka hoga, to aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke, Farishte kaise iman nahi layenge, wo to Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) ke sath hote hain,
- Sahaba (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُم) ne farmaya ke, phir Nabiyon ka hoga, to aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke, Nabiyon ko to wahi aati hai Allah ki taraf se, wo kaise iman nahi layenge,
- Sahaba (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُم) ne farmaya ke, Sahaba ka hoga, to aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke, Sahaba kaise iman nahi layenge, wo to Nabiyon ke sath hote hain,
- Phir farmaya ke, Ajeeb-o-Ghareeb iman unn logon ka hoga, to mere baad ayenge jin me main bhi nahi rahoonga, wo kitabon ko parrhenge, wahi ko,…, yani ke,…, Quran ko parrhenge aur iman layenge, uss ki itteba karenge.[25]
10. Quran aur Hadith ke zariye Faisle karna
- Muadh bin Jabal (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) ko, Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) Yemen ka governor bana kar bheja aur poocha ke logon ke darmiyan faisla kaise karoge?
- Muadh (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) ne kaha ke, Allah ki kitab ke zariye faisla karoonga,
- Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) phir sawal kiya ke, agar uss ka hal Allah ki kitab me na huwa to, kya karoge?
- Muadh (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) ne jawab diya ke, phir Allah ke Rasool (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ki sunnat ke hisab se faisla karoonga,
- Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne phir sawal kiya ke, agar wo Allah ke Rasool ki sunnat me nahi mila to kya karoge?
- Muadh (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) ne kaha ke, main phir Ijtehad karoonga, apni raye qayem karoonga aur sahih faisla karne ki koshish karoonga,
- Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ye baat sunn kar khush huwe.[26]
- Agar Musalmano ne aur unn ke rehnumaon aur leaderon ne Quran ke mutabiq faisla, ya judgement nahi kiya to kya hoga?
- Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya, ek lambi hadith hai ke, “…jab tak unn ke rehnuma Allah ki kitab ke mutabiq hukumat nahi karenge aur Allah ki nazil karda cheezon me, har tarah ki bhalai talash nahi karenge to, Allah unhe apas me ladayega.[27]
- Aaj hamari ummat ka haal dekhiye aur ghaur kariye, iss hadith par. Iss ki wajah hamari Quran se doori hai.
11. Quran parrhne, seekhne aur sikhane ki ahmiyat
- Abu Dawood ki ek Hadith me, Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya: Jiss kisi masjid me log jama nahi hote, Quran ko parrhne ke liye, seekhne ke liye, samajhne aur samjhane ke liye, magar unn par sukoon nazil hota hai, Allah ki rehmatein nazil hoti hain, farishte aisi mehfilon ko gher lete hain, aur Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) aisi Quran ki mehfil walon ka zikr Allah ke qareeb jo farishte hain unn se karta hai.[28]
- Jo koi Quran ko parrhta hai, aur uss ke mutabiq amal karta hai to Qiyamat ke din uss ke waladain ke sar par taj hoga, jiss ki roshni sooraj ki roshni se behtar hogi…[29]
- Jo koi Quran ko rawani se parrhe, wo nek aur buzurg farishte ke saath honge, aur jo ruk-ruk kar ya atak atak kar Quran parrhega aur koshish karega uss ko double sawab milega.[30]
- Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke, jis kisi ne subah me masjid ko gaya aur do ayaat yaad kiya, uss ke liye ye do ayat, do moti oontniyan ki kamayi se behtar hai, teen ayaat ka yaad karna teen moti oontniyon se behtar hai…[31]
- Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) se poochha gaya ke, kis ki qira’at behtar hai, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya, jab uss ki qira’at suno to pata lage ke ye Alla se darta hai.[32]
- Quran ka har harf parrhne par 10 gunah, 10 times sawab hai, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya, mai ye nahi kehta ke, Alif-Laam-Meem ek harf hai, balke Alif ek harf hai, Laam ek harf hai, aur Meem ek harf hai.[33]Matlab ye ke, har letter par 10 nekiyan milegi.
- Jo oonchi awaz me Quran parrhe, to wo aisa hai jo khule-aam sadaqah kar raha ho, aur jo dabi awaz me Quran parrhe, to wo aisa hai jo chupa kar sadaqa kare.[34]
- Ek momin jo Quran parrhta hai, uss ki misal aisi hai, jaise ke meetha laimoon ho, jiss ki khushboo bhi achi aur maze me bhi meetha ho, aur
- Ek momin jo Quran nahi parrhta, uss ki misal aisi hai, jaise ke khajoor, jiss ki koi khushboo nahi lekin maze me meetha hota hai, aur
- Ek munafiq jo Quran parrhta hai, uss ki misal aisi hai, jaise ke khushboo daar pauda, jiss ki khushboo to achi hai lekin maze me kadwa hai, aur
- Ek munafiq jo Quran nahi parrta, uss ki misal aisi hai, jaise ke kadwa kharbooza jiss me koi booh nahi aur uss ka maza bhi kadwa hai.[35]
- Abdullah ibn Amr (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) kehte hain ke, Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne mujhe hukum kiya ke, Quran ko ek mahine me parrh liya karo, to maine kaha ke, mujh me iss se zyada ki taqat hai, to aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke, to phir Quran ko saat din me parrh lo aur iss se kum me na parrhna.[36]
- Abdullah ibn Amr (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) hi se Riwayat hai ke, Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya, jiss kisi ne 3 din se kum me Quran parrhi, uss ne Quran ko samjha hi nahi.[37]
12. Quran ki wajah se Gunah kin logon ko milega?
- Jo log Quran parrhte huwe dikhawa karte hain, wo dozaq ke aise hisse me daakhil kiye jayenge, jiss se dozaq khud din me 100 baar panah managti hai[38]
- Aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya, teen qism ke log Quran seekhte hain,
- jo iss ko seekh kar dikhawa karta hai,
- jo iss ko seekh kar apni rozi roti chalaye, duniya kamaye,
- jo iss ko seekhe, iss ko parrhne ke liye sirf-aur-sirf Allah ke khatir.[39]
- Qiyamat ke din, ek aalim ko laya jayega, jo ilm hasil kiya aur doosron ko sikhaya, aur Quran ka qaari tha;
- Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) uss par apni nemate yaad dilayenge,
- jo wo qabool karega ke Allah ne usay duniya me diya tha,
- phir Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) uss se poochhenge ke, unn nematon ka uss ne kya kiya?
- Wo kahega ke, maine ilm seekha, doosron to taleem di aur Quran parrha,
- Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) kahenge ke, tu ne jhoot kaha, tu ne ilm iss liye hasil kiya takay log tujhe aalim kahe, aur tu ne Quran iss liye parrha takay log tujhe qari kahe.
- Phir hukum hoga ke, Iss ko ghaseeto aur dozaq me daal do.[40]
- Yehi mamela ek shaheed aur sakhee ke saath bhi hoga, jo dikhawe ke liye amal karte the.
- Ibn Abbas ki ek riwayat, jiss me Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke, jiss kisi ne bina ilm ke Quran ke bare me kuch kaha, to uss ka thikana jahannam hai.[41]
- Quran ke khilaf behas matt karo, ye kufr hai, Quran ka inkar hai.[42]
- Do log Quran ki ayaat ko base bana kar ek doosre se behas na kare, iss ka anjaam ye hoga ke, Quran ki ek ayat ko le kar doosri ayat ko jhutlaoge. Phir aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke,
- Momin wo hai, jo Quran ke ehteraam me behas haar jayega, aur
- Munafiq wo hai, jo Quran ko istemaal kar ke behas jeet jayega.[43]
- To hume khayal rakhna chahiye ke, kahin behas jeetne ki chakkar me munafiq na ban baitte.
13. Quran ko Achhi Awaz se Parrhna
- Jo Quran ko achhi awaz se na parrhe, wo hum me se nahi[44]
- Ye maane to aate hain, aur doosri ahadith bhi maujood hain iss ta’aloq se, jo inn mano ki wazahat karte hain.[45]
- Lekin jo phrase iss hadith me aya hai, achhi awaz ke liye, wo (لَمْ يَتَغَنَّ) hai, yataghanna jo hai wo Ghayn, Noon, Yay ke maddeh se bana hai, Ghaniya, matlab independent, Self-sufficient. Allah Ghani hai, uss ko kisi cheez ki zaroorat nahi, sab kuch hai uss ke paas.
- To iss hadith ka matlab hoga, jiss ke liye Quran kafi nahi, wo hum me se nahi ya jiss ko Quran gunah se independent na kar de, wo hum me se nahi.
- Quran bhi parrhte rahe aur gunah bhi karta rahe, ye ho nahi sakta.
14. Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) aur Quran
- Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ek baar namaz me, Quran ki tilawat aur rone ki wajah se aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ke seene se, chakki ke chalne ki si awaaz sunai di, Sahabi (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) ko.[46]
- Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne Abdullah Ibn Masood ko Quran tilawat karne ko kaha,
- to unhone Surah an-Nisa ki tilawat Shuru ki, jab wo iss ayat par pahunche, jiss ka matlab hai ke,
- To uss din kya haal hoga, jab hum har ummat me se, ek gawah khada karenge, aur aye nabi (صلى الله عليه وسلم), aap ko inn logon par gawah bana kar layenge,[47]
- Abdullah ibn Masood kehte hain ke, maine apna sar uttha kar Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko dekha to aap ki aankhon se aansoo jari the.[48]
- Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ke paas ek baar Abu Bakr aaye, aur kaha ke, Ya Rasoolallah, aap budhe dikh rahe hain. Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne jawab diya ke, Surah Hud aur uss ki behno ne mujhe budha kar diya.
- Surah Hud ki behne hain, Surah al-Waqiya, Surah al-Mursalat, aur Surah an-Naba,
- Inn suraton par ghaur-o-fikr kar ke, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) budhe lagne lage.[49]
- Aisha (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهَا) se poochha gaya ke, Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ki koi anokhi ya ajeeb baat bataiyye, to aap ne kaha ke, ek raat Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) Qiyamul-Lail me khade huwe aur rote rahe,
- Yahan tak ke aap ki dadhi bheeg gayi,
- Sajde me gaye, to zameen bheeg gayi,
- Phir karwat par late gaye, tab bhi rote rahe,
- Yahan tak ke fajr ka waqt ho gaya aur Bilal (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) ne azan di
- Jab poochha gaya ke, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) kyun ro rahe hain,
- Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke, kya main Allah ka shukr guzar banda na banoo?
- Phir aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne Surah Aal-Imran ki ye ayaat tilawat ki,[50]
- Beshak, aasmano aur zameen ki paidaish aur raat aur din ke ek-doosre ke baad aane me, aqal rakhne walon ke liye nishaniyan hain, jo Khade aur baitthe aur latay huwe, har haal me, Allah ko yaad karte hain aur aasman aur zameen ki paidaish me ghaur karte hain aur kehte hain ke, Aye hamare paalne wale malik, tu ne ye sab kuch fuzool aur bina kisi faide ke nahi banaya, tu paak hai, to qiyamat ke din hume dozaq ke azab se bacha le.

[3] Narrated Al-Harith Al-A’war: “I passed by the Masjid when the people were absorbed in story-telling. So I entered upon ‘Ali and said: ‘O Commander of the believers! Do you not see the people are becoming engrossed in story-telling?’ He said: ‘They have been consumed with it?’ I said: “Yes.’ He said: ‘As for me, I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying: “Indeed there comes a Fitnah” So I said: “What is the way out from it O Messenger of Allah?” He said: “Allah’s book. In it is news for what happened before you, and information about what comes after you, and judgement for what happens between you. It is the Criterion (between right and wrong) without jest. Whoever among the oppressive abandons it, Allah crushes him, and whoever seeks guidance from other than it, then Allah leaves him to stray. It is the firm rope of Allah, it is the wise remembrance, it is the straight path, and it is the one that the desires can not distort, nor can the tongues twist it, nor can the scholars ever have enough of it, and it shall not become dull from reciting it much, and the amazement of it does not diminish. It is the one that when the Jinns hear it, they did not hesitate to say about it: ‘Verily, we have heard a wonderful Recitation (this Qur’an)! ‘It guides to the Right Path, and we have believed therein.’ Whoever speaks according to it then he has said the truth, and whoever acts according to it he is rewarded, and whoever judges by it he has judged justly, and whoever invites to it then he guides to the straight path.” Take this O A’war!’.”

[7] Jabir told how ‘Umar b. al-Khattab brought God’s messenger a copy of the Torah saying, “Messenger of God, this is a copy of the Torah.” When he received no reply he began to read to the obvious displeasure of God’s messenger, so Abu Bakr said, “Confound you 1 do you not see how God’s messenger is looking?” So ‘Umar looked at God’s messenger’s face and said, “I seek refuge in God from the anger of God and His messenger. We are satisfied with God as Lord, with Islam as religion, and with Muhammad as Prophet.” Then God’s messenger said, “By Him in whose hand Muhammad’s soul is, were Moses to appear to you and you were to follow him and abandon me, you would err from the right way. Were he alive and came in touch with my prophetic mission he would follow me.” Darimi transmitted it. [1 Literally, may the bereaved be bereaved of you.]

It spread its wing over him and said, “My Lord, forgive him, for he often used to recite me so the Lord most high made it an intercessor for him and said, “Record for him a good deed and raise him a degree in place of every sin.” Khālid said also: It will dispute on behalf of the one who recites it when he is in his grave saying, “O God, if I am a part of Thy Book, make me an intercessor for him; but if I am not a part of Thy Book, blot me out of it.” It will be like a bird putting its wing on him, it will intercede for him and will protect him from the punishment in the grave. He said the same about “Blessed is He.” (Qur’ān, 67) Khālid did not go to sleep at night till he had recited them. Tā’ūs said they were given sixty virtues more than any other sūra in the Qur’ān.

He said, “I am a witness on these.” Then he ordered them to be buried with blood on their bodies. Neither did he offer their funeral prayer nor did he get them washed. (Jabir bin `Abdullah added): Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to ask about the martyrs of Uhud as to which of them knew more of the Qur’an.” And when one of them was pointed out as having more of it he would put him first in the grave and then his companions. (Jabir added): My father and my uncle were shrouded in one sheet.

They do not cheat in weights and measures but they will be stricken with famine, severe calamity and the oppression of their rulers. They do not withhold the Zakah of their wealth, but rain will be withheld from the sky, and were it not for the animals, no rain would fall on them. They do not break their covenant with Allah and His Messenger, but Allah will enable their enemies to overpower them and take some of what is in their hands. Unless their leaders rule according to the Book of Allah and seek all good from that which Allah has revealed, Allah will cause them to fight one another.’”

He said: Messenger of Allah, (how) should I recite to you whereas it has been sent down to you? He (the Holy Prophet) said: I desire to hear it from someone else. So I recited Surat al-Nisa’ till I reached the verse: How then shall it be when We shall bring from every people a witness and bring you against them as a witness?” (verse 41). I lifted my head or a person touched me in my side, and so I lifted my head and saw his tears falling (from the Holy Prophet’s eyes).
وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ جَمِيعًا عَنْ حَفْصٍ، – قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، – عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” اقْرَأْ عَلَىَّ الْقُرْآنَ ” . قَالَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَيْكَ أُنْزِلَ قَالَ ” إِنِّي أَشْتَهِي أَنْ أَسْمَعَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِي ” . فَقَرَأْتُ النِّسَاءَ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغْتُ { فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلاَءِ شَهِيدًا} رَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي أَوْ غَمَزَنِي رَجُلٌ إِلَى جَنْبِي فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي فَرَأَيْتُ دُمُوعَهُ تَسِيلُ .

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ شَيْبَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رضى الله عنه يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ شِبْتَ . قَالَ “ شَيَّبَتْنِي هُودٌ وَالْوَاقِعَةُ وَالْمُرْسَلاَتُ وَ عمَّ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ وَإذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ ” . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ . وَرَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ صَالِحٍ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ نَحْوَ هَذَا . وَرُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي مَيْسَرَةَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ هَذَا مُرْسَلاً . وَرَوَى أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ شَيْبَانَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الْهَرَوِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ .
