MUHAMMAD’S TEACHINGS TO MANKIND

ḤADĪTH OF THE DAY

“ The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, "The example of those who uphold the limits set by God (2) and those who are indifferent to them, is like a people who randomly divide a ship at sail. Some get the upper deck, others get the lower deck. The dwellers of the lower deck ascend to get water splattering the dwellers of the upper deck. Thus the latter say, 'We will not allow you to come up lest you harm us.' So the dwellers of the lower deck say, 'Then, we will bore a hole in the bottom of the ship to get water to drink.' If the dwellers of the upper deck restrain them by preventing them from doing so, they will all survive, but if they don't, they will all drown." (1) By adhering to them him/herself, and promoting good and warding off evil or harm. (2) (Ḥudūd) The boundaries of acceptable behaviour and the penal code for breaching these bounaries by committing major sins (like theft and fornication). These boundaries have been set by God in the Islamic law (Sharī’ah) that governs all aspects of life. ”

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 الإِسْلاَمِ قَدْ كَثُرَتْ عَلَىَّ فَأَخْبِرْنِى بِشَىْءٍ أَتَشَبَّثُ بِهِ. قَالَ لاَ يَزَالُ لِسَانُكَ رَطْبًا مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ.
