MUHAMMAD’S TEACHINGS TO MANKIND

ḤADĪTH OF THE DAY

“ Abū-Umayyah ash-Sha'bānī said, "I asked Abū-Tha‘labah al-Khushanī about the interpretation of the verse: 'O you who have believed, upon you is [responsibility for] yourselves. Those who have gone astray will not harm you when you have been guided.'" (5 [al-Mā'idah]: 105) He replied, "By God, you have certainly asked someone who is well-acquainted [with its interpretation], for I asked the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, about it (1) and he said, 'Rather, promote the good and ward off evil amongst each other. Once you see stinginess obeyed, whims followed, worldly life favored, and one's opinions acclaimed, then, preserve yourself and leave the common people. For indeed, ahead of you are days in which exercising patience will be like grasping live coal tightly in one's hand. The one who performs righteous deeds then will have the reward of fifty people performing your deeds.'" 'Abdullāh Ibnul-Mubārak (one of the narrators of the ḥadīth) related that it was asked, "Messenger of God, the reward of fifty of us or fifty of them?" He replied, "No. Rather, it is the reward of fifty of you." Footnotes: (1) Apparently, the verse seems to urge Muslims to be solely concerned with themselves instead of engaging in promoting the good and warding off evil. Therefore the Companion asked the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, for further clarification. ”

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِىٍّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ دَيْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِى بُرْدَةَ بْنِ أَبِى مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِى مُوسَى قَالَ كَانَ الْيَهُودُ يَتَعَاطَسُونَ عِنْدَ النَّبِىِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَرْجُونَ أَنْ يَقُولَ لَهُمْ يَرْحَمُكُمُ اللَّهُ. فَيَقُولُ يَهْدِيكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَكُمْ. وَفِى الْبَابِ عَنْ عَلِىٍّ وَأَبِى أَيُّوبَ وَسَالِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ وَأَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

The Jews would sneeze deliberately in the presence of the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, in the hope that he would respond by saying, "May God have mercy on you." (Instead), He, peace and blessings of God be upon him, would say, "May God guide you and amend your condition." Click on ḥadīth to read more
