اُردوEn
عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَّامٍ قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ: عَلَى كُلِّ نَفْسٍ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ طَلَعَتْ فِيهِ الشَّمْسُ صَدَقَةٌ مِنْهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! مِنْ أَيْنَ أَتَصَدَّقُ وَلَيْسَ لَنَا أَمْوَالٌ؟ قَالَ: ((لِأَنَّ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الصَّدَقَةِ التَّكْبِيرَ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ، وَتَأْمُرُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَى عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ، وَتَعْزِلُ الشَّوْكَ عَنْ طَرِيقِ النَّاسِ وَالْعَظْمَ وَالْحَجَرَ، وَتَهْدِي الْأَعْمَى، وَتُسْمِعُ الْأَصَمَّ وَالْأَبْكَمَ حَتَّى يَفْقَهَ، وَتَدُلُّ الْمُسْتَدِلَّ عَلَى حَاجَةٍ لَهُ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَكَانَهَا وَتَسْعَى بِشِدَّةِ سَاقَيْكَ إِلَى اللَّهِ فَانِ الْمُسْتَغِيثِ، وَتَرْفَعُ بِشِدَّةِ ذِرَاعَيْكَ مَعَ الضَّعِيفِ، كُلُّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الصَّدَقَةِ مِنْكَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ، وَلَكَ فِي جِمَاعِ زَوْجَتِكَ أَجْرٌ))، قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ: كَيْفَ يَكُونُ لِي أَجْرٌ فِي شَهْوَتِي؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ لَكَ وَلَدٌ فَأَدْرَكَ وَرَجَوْتَ خَيْرَهُ فَمَاتَ أَكُنْتَ تَحْتَسِبُ بِهِ؟)) قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: ((فَأَنْتَ خَلَقْتَهُ؟)) قَالَ: بَلِ اللَّهُ خَلَقَهُ، قَالَ: ((فَأَنْتَ هَدَيْتَهُ؟)) قَالَ: بَلِ اللَّهُ هَدَاهُ، قَالَ: ((فَأَنْتَ تَرْزُقُهُ؟)) قَالَ: بَلِ اللَّهُ كَانَ يَرْزُقُهُ، قَالَ: ((كَذَلِكَ فَضَعْهُ فِي حَلَالِهِ وَجَنِّبْهُ حَرَامَهُ، فَإِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَحْيَاهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَمَاتَهُ وَلَكَ أَجْرٌ))
Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I repeated this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that it is obligatory for every person to give charity on himself every day. Then I said: O Messenger of Allah! How can I give charity, when we do not possess any wealth? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Saying "Allahu Akbar", "Subhanallah", "Alhamdulillah", "La ilaha illallah", and "Astaghfirullah" is also charity. Enjoining good and forbidding evil is also charity. Removing thorns, bones, stones, etc. from people's path, guiding a blind person, making a mute or deaf person understand something, if you have knowledge, guiding someone who seeks guidance for a need, running quickly to help a distressed person who calls for help, and giving full support to the weak—these are all acts of charity from you for yourself. In fact, even having intercourse with your wife is a cause of reward. Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: How will there be reward for me in my desire? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Tell me, if you had a son, he reached maturity, and you hoped for good from him, but he died—would you be patient over it? I said: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Did you create him? I said: No, rather Allah Almighty created him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Did you guide him? I said: No, rather Allah Almighty guided him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Did you provide for him? I said: No, rather Allah Almighty provided for him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is just like that; just as Allah Almighty fulfilled all the needs and necessities of the child, but you received reward for his death. In the same way, if you use your private part in a lawful place and avoid the unlawful, if Allah wills, He will protect it, and if He wills, He will cause it to die, and you will receive reward.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The entire blessed hadith is clear; every Muslim should compare the routines of his life with it. The clarification of the last issue is as follows: a father neither creates his child, nor provides sustenance for him, nor grants him guidance, so then why is he deserving of reward upon the child’s death? In response to this question, it is as if Sayyiduna Abu Dharr radi Allahu anhu is saying that since, as a father, he is the cause of his child’s existence, therefore he should also receive reward. Upon this, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: Just as one receives reward for exercising patience with the intention of reward upon the death of a child, similarly, at the time of intimacy with one’s wife, the intention should be that through this relationship a Muslim child will be born, and that the husband and wife, due to the right of marriage, will remain protected from adultery (zina) and its requirements and preliminaries. On these grounds, the husband and wife will also receive reward for conjugal relations.
