بَاب مَا جَاءَ فِي التَّرْهِيْبِ مِنْ احْتِقَارِ الذُنُوبِ الصَّغِيْرَةِChapter on what has been narrated regarding warning against belittling minor sins
Hadith 9841
اُردوEn
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ((إِيَّاكُمْ وَمُحَقَّرَاتِ الذُّنُوبِ فَإِنَّهُنَّ يَجْتَمِعْنَ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ حَتَّى يُهْلِكْنَهُ وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ضَرَبَ لَهُنَّ مَثَلًا كَمَثَلِ قَوْمٍ نَزَلُوا أَرْضَ فَلَاةٍ فَحَضَرَ صَنِيعُ الْقَوْمِ أَيْ طَعَامُهُمْ فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَنْطَلِقُ فَيَجِيءُ بِالْعُودِ وَالرَّجُلُ يَجِيءُ بِالْعُودِ حَتَّى جَمَعُوا سَوَادًا فَأَجَّجُوا نَارًا وَأَنْضَجُوا مَا قَذَفُوا فِيهَا))
The warning about considering minor sins insignificant: They gather upon a person to such an extent that they destroy him. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave an example of these sins, saying that their example is like a people who camped in a desert, and when it was time for their meal, one man went and brought a stick, another brought a stick, until enough sticks were gathered for their needs. Then they lit a fire and cooked whatever they had to cook.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam clarified his intent through an example, that the accumulation of seemingly minor sins throughout one’s life can become the cause of a person’s destruction. Therefore, one should avoid every kind of disobedience to Allah. A believer and a Muslim should refrain from disobeying Allah, regardless of whether the sin is minor (saghirah) or major (kabirah).
