Hadith 4588

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ تَلَا : إِلا الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ سورة النساء آية 98 ، قَالَ : " كُنْتُ أَنَا وَأُمِّي مِمَّنْ عَذَرَ اللَّهُ " . وَيُذْكَرُ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ : حَصِرَتْ : ضَاقَتْ ، تَلْوُوا : أَلْسِنَتَكُمْ بِالشَّهَادَةِ ، وَقَالَ غَيْرُه : " الْمُرَاغَمُ الْمُهَاجَرُ رَاغَمْتُ هَاجَرْتُ قَوْمِي مَوْقُوتًا : مُوَقَّتًا وَقْتَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ ".
Narrated Ibn Abi Mulaika: Ibn `Abbas recited:-- "Except the weak ones among men women and children," (4.98) and said, "My mother and I were among those whom Allah had excused."

Hadith Commentary:

In the noble verse mentioned in the title, Muslims are being encouraged to help the weak and powerless Muslims and to strive (jihad) against the oppressors in order to save them from injustice and tyranny.
Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) and his mother were also among those weak Muslims whose help was obligatory upon the Muslims.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to supplicate for such people after raising his head from bowing (ruku‘) as follows:
“O Allah! (Help) Walid bin Walid, Salamah bin Hisham, ‘Ayyash bin Abi Rabi‘ah, and other weak Muslims during the time of famine.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, al-Adab, Hadith: 6200)
Then, when these weak and powerless Muslims were freed from the disbelievers of Makkah and came to Madinah al-Tayyibah, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) stopped supplicating against the disbelievers.


At the end, Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has provided the lexical explanation of a few words that will appear later in this context.
For further detail, it will be beneficial to study any Qur’anic commentary (tafsir) while keeping in view the context of these words.
