اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ”يُهْلِكُ أُمَّتِي هَذَا الْحَيُّ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ“ قَالُوا فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ”لَوْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ اعْتَزَلُوهُمْ“ وَقَالَ أَبِي فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ اضْرِبْ عَلَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَإِنَّهُ خِلَافُ الْأَحَادِيثِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعْنِي قَوْلَهُ ”اسْمَعُوا وَأَطِيعُوا وَاصْبِرُوا“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The tribe of Quraysh will destroy my Ummah. The Companions asked: O Messenger of Allah! In such circumstances, what do you command us to do? He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: If people keep themselves apart from them, (then they will remain safe from their evil). Imam Ahmad said during his final illness: Erase this hadith, because this hadith is contrary to those ahadith in which you, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Listen to the rulers, obey them, and be patient.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … These are two separate hadiths, and the referents of both are different rulers. There have indeed been such rulers in the past whose word had to be listened to and whose obedience was necessary in all circumstances. However, there have also been such rulers in the past from whom it was better to keep away.
