عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ إِنَّ فَتًى مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ائْذَنْ لِي بِالزِّنَا فَأَقْبَلَ الْقَوْمُ عَلَيْهِ فَزَجَرُوهُ وَقَالُوا مَهْ مَهْ فَقَالَ ادْنُهُ فَدَنَا مِنْهُ قَرِيبًا قَالَ فَجَلَسَ قَالَ أَتُحِبُّهُ لِأُمِّكَ قَالَ لَا وَاللَّهِ جَعَلَنِي اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ وَلَا النَّاسُ يُحِبُّونَهُ لِأُمَّهَاتِهِمْ قَالَ أَفَتُحِبُّهُ لِابْنَتِكَ قَالَ لَا وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ جَعَلَنِي اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ وَلَا النَّاسُ يُحِبُّونَهُ لِبَنَاتِهِمْ قَالَ أَفَتُحِبُّهُ لِأُخْتِكَ قَالَ لَا وَاللَّهِ جَعَلَنِي اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ وَلَا النَّاسُ يُحِبُّونَهُ لِأَخَوَاتِهِمْ قَالَ أَفَتُحِبُّهُ لِعَمَّتِكَ قَالَ لَا وَاللَّهِ جَعَلَنِي اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ وَلَا النَّاسُ يُحِبُّونَهُ لِعَمَّاتِهِمْ قَالَ أَفَتُحِبُّهُ لِخَالَتِكَ قَالَ لَا وَاللَّهِ جَعَلَنِي اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ وَلَا النَّاسُ يُحِبُّونَهُ لِخَالَاتِهِمْ قَالَ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ ذَنْبَهُ وَطَهِّرْ قَلْبَهُ وَحَصِّنْ فَرْجَهُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الْفَتَى يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى شَيْءٍ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that an Ansari youth came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Grant me permission to commit adultery. The people turned upon him and said: Be quiet, be quiet! But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the youth: Come closer. So he came near and sat close to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Would you like this for your mother? He replied: By Allah, never! May Allah make me a sacrifice for you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Likewise, people do not like this evil for their mothers. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Would you like this for your daughter? He replied: No, by Allah! May Allah make me a sacrifice for you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: People also do not like this evil for their daughters. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Would you like adultery for your sister? He replied: May Allah make me a sacrifice for you, I would never like this for my sister. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: People also do not like this evil for their sisters. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Would you like this for your paternal aunt? He replied: No, by Allah, I would not like it, may Allah make me a sacrifice for you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then people also do not like this for their paternal aunts. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Tell me, would you like this evil for your maternal aunt? He replied: No, by Allah! I would not like it, may Allah make me a sacrifice for you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then people also do not like this evil for their maternal aunts. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his blessed hand upon him and prayed for him: O my Allah! Forgive his sins, purify his heart, and guard his chastity. After that, the youth never turned towards anything (evil) again.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … This is the wise approach of the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the use of which was deemed appropriate for certain individuals. Some people have such temperaments that the mere word “haram” does not have any particular effect on their conscience. Such people can be made to understand by giving examples related to their own selves, just as Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, who was endowed with qualities of wisdom and sagacity, did on this occasion.
