اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ، عَنْ شَرِيكٍ ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ الْحِيرَةَ فَرَأَيْتُهُمْ يَسْجُدُونَ لِمَرْزُبَانٍ لَهُمْ ، فَقُلْتُ : رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُسْجَدَ لَهُ ، قَالَ : فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنِّي أَتَيْتُ الْحِيرَةَ فَرَأَيْتُهُمْ يَسْجُدُونَ لِمَرْزُبَانٍ لَهُمْ ، فَأَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ نَسْجُدَ لَكَ ، قَالَ : " أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ مَرَرْتَ بِقَبْرِي أَكُنْتَ تَسْجُدُ لَهُ ؟ " قَالَ : قُلْتُ : لَا ، قَالَ : " فَلَا تَفْعَلُوا ،لَوْ كُنْتُ آمِرًا أَحَدًا أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ لَأَمَرْتُ النِّسَاءَ أَنْ يَسْجُدْنَ لِأَزْوَاجِهِنَّ ، لِمَا جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنَ الْحَقِّ " .
Narrated Qays ibn Saad: I went to al-Hirah and saw them (the people) prostrating themselves before a satrap of theirs, so I said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has most right to have prostration made before him. When I came to the Prophet ﷺ, I said: I went to al-Hirah and saw them prostrating themselves before a satrap of theirs, but you have most right, Messenger of Allah, to have (people) prostrating themselves before you. He said: Tell me, if you were to pass my grave, would you prostrate yourself before it? I said: No. He then said: Do not do so. If I were to command anyone to make prostration before another I would command women to prostrate themselves before their husbands, because of the special right over them given to husbands by Allah.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ Prostration of reverence is a hallmark of the polytheists.
➋ Prostrating on a grave or prostrating to any living or dead person is contrary to sound natural disposition (fitrah), let alone that any believer would even conceive of it.
➌ It is obligatory upon wives to make utmost respect, honor, and service to their husbands their hallmark, but it is evident that adherence to the limits and restrictions of the Shari‘ah is necessary.
➍ Prostration (sujud) is the exclusive right of Allah alone, without any partner, and it is absolutely impermissible and unlawful to prostrate to any other person.
➎ Men have superiority over women; this is explicitly stated in the Noble Qur’an.
➏ This hadith is a clear proof of the perfect love the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) had for the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
