حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ , حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ , عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ , عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ , عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ , قَالَ : قَال رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَدْرُسُ الْإِسْلَامُ كَمَا يَدْرُسُ وَشْيُ الثَّوْبِ , حَتَّى لَا يُدْرَى مَا صِيَامٌ , وَلَا صَلَاةٌ , وَلَا نُسُكٌ , وَلَا صَدَقَةٌ , وَلَيُسْرَى عَلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي لَيْلَةٍ , فَلَا يَبْقَى فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْهُ آيَةٌ , وَتَبْقَى طَوَائِفُ مِنَ النَّاسِ , الشَّيْخُ الْكَبِيرُ وَالْعَجُوزُ , يَقُولُونَ : أَدْرَكْنَا آبَاءَنَا عَلَى هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ , لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ , فَنَحْنُ نَقُولُهَا " , فَقَالَ لَهُ صِلَةُ : مَا تُغْنِي عَنْهُمْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ , وَهُمْ لَا يَدْرُونَ مَا صَلَاةٌ , وَلَا صِيَامٌ , وَلَا نُسُكٌ , وَلَا صَدَقَةٌ ؟ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ حُذَيْفَةُ , ثُمَّ رَدَّهَا عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا , كُلَّ ذَلِكَ يُعْرِضُ عَنْهُ حُذَيْفَةُ , ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ , فَقَالَ : يَا صِلَةُ تُنْجِيهِمْ مِنَ النَّارِ , ثَلاثًا .
´It was narrated from Hudhaifah bin Yaman that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “Islam will wear out as embroidery on a garment wears out, until no one will know what fasting, prayer, (pilgrimage) rites and charity are. The Book of Allah will be taken away at night, and not one Verse of it will be left on earth. And there will be some people left, old men and old women, who will say: “We saw our fathers saying these words: ‘La ilaha illallah’ so we say them too.” Silah said to him: “What good will (saying): La ilaha illallah do them, when they do not know what fasting, prayer, (pilgrimage) rites and charity are?” Hudhaifah turned away from his. He repeated his question three times, and Hudhaifah turned away from him each time. Then he turned to him on the third time and said: “O Silah! It will save them from Hell,” three times.
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
The mentioned narration has been declared weak in chain (sanadan) by our esteemed researcher, whereas other scholars have declared it authentic (sahih) on the basis of corroborating evidences (shawahid) and have conducted a detailed scholarly discussion on it, from which the opinion of authenticity appears closer to correctness.
Therefore, the mentioned narration is actionable (qabil-e-amal) on the basis of other corroborating evidences and follow-ups (mutaba‘at).
And Allah knows best.
For further details, see: (Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah, no. 87 and Sunan Ibn Majah with the verification of Dr. Bashar Awwad, no. 4049)
➋
At the beginning of the book, a hadith has been mentioned whose meaning is that Allah Ta‘ala will not snatch away knowledge from the people, rather, when the scholars pass away, knowledge will also come to an end (Sunan Ibn Majah, Introduction, Hadith: 52).
As a result of this ignorance, this situation will arise.
➌
When people abandon practicing Islam and stop reciting the Qur’an, then even the words of the Qur’an will be taken away from them.
➍
In times of tribulation (fitan), even a little action will be sufficient for salvation, because in that era, practicing even a little of Islam will be difficult.
For example, during the era of communist rule in Russia, organized efforts were made to distance Muslims from Islam, as a result of which the Muslims of Russia and other communist countries were deprived of knowledge to such an extent that only the name of Islam remained with them and nothing else was remembered.
