Hadith 5335
اُردوEn
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا فِي حَدِيثِ رُؤْيَا أَعْبَرَهَا أَيْ فَسَّرَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَمَامَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعْدَ تَعْبِيرِهَا أَصَبْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَصَبْتَ وَأَخْطَأْتَ قَالَ أَقْسَمْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَتُخْبِرَنِّي فَقَالَ لَا تُقْسِمْ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), this hadith is related to a dream. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) interpreted it before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and then said: O Messenger of Allah! Did I interpret it correctly? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You have interpreted some aspects correctly and in some you have erred. He said: O Messenger of Allah! I swear that you must surely inform me of my mistake, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not swear.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not fulfill the oath of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu, even though he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has encouraged the fulfillment of such oaths. The reconciliation and harmonization here is that due to some impediment and benefit (maslahah), he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not fulfill this oath.
