اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ : خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " إِيَّاكُمْ وَالشُّحَّ فَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ بِالشُّحِّ ، أَمَرَهُمْ بِالْبُخْلِ فَبَخِلُوا ، وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِالْقَطِيعَةِ فَقَطَعُوا ، وَأَمَرَهُمْ بِالْفُجُورِ فَفَجَرُوا " .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ preached and said: Abstain from avarice, for those who had been before you were annihilated due to avarice. It (avarice) commanded them to show niggardliness; it commanded them to cut off their relationship with their nearest relatives, so they cut off. It commanded them to show profligacy, so they showed it.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1698. Commentary: In the Arabic language, (shuhh) refers to that composite attribute in which both greed and miserliness are combined. And this is more blameworthy than mere miserliness: that a person does not spend where spending is required, rather he remains eager to take. Furthermore, when this quality is found among close relatives, it is even more reprehensible.
