الْبَابُ الْخَامِسُ فِي ذِكْرِ بَعْضِ خُطُبِهِ أوَّلُ خُطْبَةٍ خَطَبَهَا فِي الْإِسْلَامِThe Fifth Chapter Mentioning Some of His Sermons—The First Sermon He Delivered in Islam
Hadith 12179
اُردوEn
(وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا) عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ خَطَبَ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّكُمْ تَقْرَءُونَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ وَتَضَعُونَهَا عَلَى غَيْرِ مَا وَضَعَهَا اللَّهُ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ لَا يَضُرُّكُمْ مَنْ ضَلَّ إِذَا اهْتَدَيْتُمْ} [المائدة: 105] سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ”إِنَّ النَّاسَ إِذَا رَأَوْا الْمُنْكَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَلَمْ يُنْكِرُوهُ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَعُمَّهُمُ اللَّهُ بِعِقَابِهِ“
Qais bin Abi Hazim also narrates that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, delivered a sermon and said: O people! You do recite this verse, but you are applying it out of its proper context. Allah Almighty says: {یَا أَیُّہَا الَّذِینَ آمَنُوْا عَلَیْکُمْ أَنْفُسَکُمْ لَا یَضُرُّکُمْ مَنْ ضَلَّ إِذَا اہْتَدَیْتُمْ} … O you who have believed! Take care of your own selves. He who has gone astray cannot harm you when you are rightly guided. I myself heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say that when people see an evil among them and do not object to it, then Allah Almighty will send punishment upon all those people.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Hafiz Ibn Kathir rahimahullah said: In this verse, Allah Almighty commands His believing servants to reform themselves and to remain engaged in good deeds according to their ability. When they themselves become upright, then the burden of evil people will not fall upon them, whether those people are relatives and close ones or strangers and distant ones. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhuma, in the commentary of this verse, says: The meaning is that when a person acts upon the commands of Allah Almighty and refrains from evils, then he will not bear any burden of the sins of sinful people. It is narrated from Muqatil that every doer will receive the recompense of his own deeds: the evil ones will be punished and the good ones will be rewarded. From this verse, it should not be understood that one should not enjoin good or forbid evil.
