اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ((مَنْ كَانَتْ يَعْنِي عِنْدَهُ مَظْلَمَةٌ لِأَخِيهِ فِي مَالِهِ أَوْ عِرْضِهِ فَلْيَأْتِهِ فَلْيَسْتَحِلَّهَا مِنْهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُؤْخَذَ أَوْ تُؤْخَذَ لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ دِينَارٌ وَلَا دِرْهَمٌ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَسَنَاتٌ أُخِذَ مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ فَأُعْطِيَهَا هَذَا وَإِلَّا أُخِذَ مِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ هَذَا فَأُلْقِيَ عَلَيْهِ))
Narrated by Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever has wronged his brother regarding his wealth or honor, let him settle it with him now, before the day comes when he will be held accountable and there will be neither dinar nor dirham. (On that day, the matter will be settled in such a way that) if he (the oppressor) has good deeds, they will be taken from him, and if he does not have good deeds, then the bad deeds of the (oppressed) people will be placed upon him.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … It is understood from this that if the transgressions committed in this world are not forgiven in this world itself, or if restitution is not made for them, then their matter will be extremely dangerous in the Hereafter. However, in our environment, there is no concern for the rights of people (huquq al-‘ibad), which is a cause of destruction. Here, a person is not regarded as a human being, but rather, relationships and friendships are determined for the sake of showing kindness or mistreatment to someone, and smiles are exchanged accordingly. In reality, such behavior is not at all a distinguishing feature of humanity. It is Islam alone that, in comparison to other religions, has given the greatest lesson in respect for humanity. This hadith is a clear and evident proof of this reality, that the landlords and powerful people who crush the poor and destitute masses under the millstone of oppression and tyranny should be warned that soon the time of their reckoning is coming; these oppressors need only await the end of the respite that has been granted to them.
