Hadith 5411
اُردوEn
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْرَابِيَّانِ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا مَنْ خَيْرُ الرِّجَالِ يَا مُحَمَّدُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ طَالَ عُمْرُهُ وَحَسُنَ عَمَلُهُ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ إِنَّ شَرَائِعَ الْإِسْلَامِ قَدْ كَثُرَتْ عَلَيْنَا فَبَابٌ نَتَمَسَّكُ بِهِ جَامِعٌ قَالَ لَا يَزَالُ لِسَانُكَ رَطْبًا مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Busr (may Allah be pleased with him) that two Bedouins came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and one of them said: O Muhammad! Who is the best among men? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The one whose life is long and whose deeds are good. The second Bedouin said: The requirements of Islam are many; if there is one comprehensive act that we can adhere to regularly? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Your tongue should always remain moist with the remembrance of Allah Almighty.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The requirements of Islam are indeed numerous. What this person wishes to say is that the branches of Islam which indicate the truthfulness of a Muslim’s Islam are many; we are unable to act upon all of them, and due to lack of knowledge, it is also difficult for us to select the most virtuous branches. Therefore, we request to be guided towards some comprehensive action.
