اُردوEn
1379 صحيح حديث أَسْمَاءَ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ لِي ضَرَّةً، فَهَلْ عَلَيَّ جُنَاحٌ إِنْ تَشَبَّعْتُ مِنْ زَوْجِي غَيْرَ الَّذِي يُعْطِينِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : الْمُتَشَبِّعُ بِمَا لَمْ يُعْطَ كَلاَبِسِ ثَوْبَيْ زُورٍ
Hazrat Asma bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that a woman said, "O Messenger of Allah! I have a co-wife. If I tell her (a fabricated) story about receiving things from my husband which he does not actually give me, is there any harm in that?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "One who boasts about what he has not received is like a person who wears a garment of deception, that is, borrows (other people's clothes) and makes people believe that these clothes are his."
Brief Explanation
Imam Zamakhshari has written two meanings of "mutashabbi‘" in Al-Fa’iq: (1) One who exceeds the limit in eating, continues to eat despite being satiated until he becomes full and his ribs begin to hurt. (2) One who adopts the appearance of a satiated person while in reality he possesses nothing to be satiated with. Imam Qastallani has narrated from Sifaqsi that what is meant is the person who, by way of trust or borrowing, wears clothing so that people may think it is his own clothing. Since this clothing is not his property, he faces disgrace. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) instilled aversion in the woman for this reason, because there is a risk of discord and enmity arising between the husband and the co-wife. (Compiled)
