اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ كَاسِبٍ , حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ , حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُجْمِرِ , عَنْ أَبِيهِ , عَنْ ابْنِ طِخْفَةَ الْغِفَارِيِّ , عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ , قَالَ : مَرَّ بِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا مُضْطَجِعٌ عَلَى بَطْنِي , فَرَكَضَنِي بِرِجْلِهِ , وَقَالَ : " يَا جُنَيْدِبُ , إِنَّمَا هَذِهِ ضِجْعَةُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ " .
´It was narrated that Abu Dharr said:` "The Prophet(ﷺ) passed by me and I was lying on my stomach. He nudged me with his foot and said: 'O Junaidib! This is how the people of Hell lie.'""
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ Lying on the stomach is prohibited.
➋ In view of the status and rank of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and the love and reverence for the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the hearts of the noble Companions radi Allahu anhum, this manner of admonition was appropriate for the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. However, it is not suitable for an ordinary person to inform his companion of an issue by kicking him.
➌ It is permissible to show strictness in an appropriate manner at the appropriate time.
➍ The manner of strictness should be such that the addressee feels that this admonition also contains an aspect of love and guidance, and that the intention is not merely to vent anger.
