اُردوEn
597 صحيح حديث عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ وَسَيُكَلِّمُهُ اللهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، لَيْسَ بَيْنَ اللهِ وَبَيْنَهُ تَرْجُمَانٌ، ثُمَّ يَنْظُرُ فَلاَ يَرَى شَيْئًا قدَّامَهُ، ثُمَّ يَنْظُرُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَتَسْتَقْبِلُهُ النَّارُ، فَمَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَتَّقِيَ النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : اتَّقُوا النَّارَ، ثُمَّ أَعْرَضَ وَأَشَاحَ؛ ثُمَّ قَالَ: اتَّقُوا النَّارَ، ثُمَّ أَعْرَضَ وَأَشَاحَ، ثَلاَثًا حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ: اتَّقُوا النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ، فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَبِكَلِمَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ
Sayyiduna ‘Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Allah will speak to every single one of you on the Day of Resurrection without there being any interpreter between him and Allah. Then he will look to his right and will see nothing before him. Then he will look in front of him and the Fire will be facing him. So whoever among you can save himself from the Fire, let him do so, even if it be by giving half a date in charity.” Sayyiduna ‘Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated another report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Save yourselves from Hell.” Then he turned his face away and said: “Save yourselves from Hell.” Then again he turned his blessed face away and said: “Save yourselves from Hell.” He did this three times. We thought that perhaps he was looking at Hell. Then he said: “Save yourselves from Hell, even if it be by giving half a date in charity. And if one does not find even that, then let him try to save himself by saying a good word (to the people).”
Brief Explanation
Hadith Narrator: The kunyah of Sayyiduna ‘Adi bin Hatim radi Allahu anhu was Abu Wahb and Abu Tarif. The generosity of his father, Hatim, is proverbial even today. He came in the form of a delegation in the middle of the seventh year (Hijri). Previously, he was a staunch Christian. The Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam honored and respected him. When people apostatized, he remained steadfast upon Islam and delivered the zakat of his people to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq radi Allahu anhu. He participated in the conquest of Iraq, then resided in Kufa, and in the Battle of Siffin, he was with Sayyiduna ‘Ali radi Allahu anhu. He passed away in 66 Hijri at the age of 120 years.
