اُردوEn
مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ لَيْسَ ثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ مِثْلُهُ سَوَاءٌ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ لَيْسَ حَدِيثٌ أَشَدَّ عَلَى الْجَهْمِيَّةِ مِنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَوْلُهُ ((لَا شَخْصَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِدْحَةً مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ))
. (Second chain) Ubaidullah Qawariyri says: This hadith is the harshest against the Jahmiyyah: There is no one to whom praise is more beloved than Allah Almighty.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … By "Jahmiyyah" is meant the followers of Jahm ibn Safwan. One of their doctrines was that a human being has no power over anything, nor is he characterized by capability; rather, in his words and actions, he is compelled before predestination (qadar), and in this matter, he has no personal choice whatsoever.
The Jahmiyyah consider man to be utterly compelled. If a person is utterly compelled, then neither can he be praised, nor is there any benefit in giving him glad tidings of Paradise. Whereas, in the hadith, there is mention of the promise of Paradise from Allah. Therefore, this hadith is in strong opposition to their doctrine of compulsion (jabr). (Abdullah Rafiq)
