اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ , وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ , قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ , عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ , عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ , عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَجِيءُ النَّبِيُّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَعَهُ الرجل , يَجِيءُ النَّبِيُّ وَمَعَهُ الرَّجُلَانِ , وَيَجِيءُ النَّبِيُّ وَمَعَهُ الثَّلَاثَةُ , وَأَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَأَقَلُّ , فَيُقَالُ لَهُ : هَلْ بَلَّغْتَ قَوْمَكَ ؟ فَيَقُولُ : نَعَمْ فَيُدْعَى قَوْمُهُ , فَيُقَالُ : هَلْ بَلَّغَكُمْ ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ : لَا , فَيُقَالُ : مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لَكَ ؟ فَيَقُولُ : مُحَمَّدٌ وَأُمَّتُهُ , فَتُدْعَى أُمَّةُ مُحَمَّدٍ , فَيُقَالُ : هَلْ بَلَّغَ هَذَا ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ : نَعَمْ , فَيَقُولُ : وَمَا عِلْمُكُمْ بِذَلِكَ ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ : أَخْبَرَنَا نَبِيُّنَا بِذَلِكَ , أَنَّ الرُّسُلَ قَدْ بَلَّغُوا فَصَدَّقْنَاهُ , قَالَ : فَذَلِكُمْ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى : وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا لِتَكُونُوا شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيدًا سورة البقرة آية 143 .
´It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “A Prophet will come accompanied by two men, and a Prophet will come accompanied by three, and (some will come) with more or less than that. It will be said to him: ‘Did you convey the message to your people?’ And he will say: ‘Yes.’ Then his people will be called and it will be said: ‘Did he convey the message to you?’ They will say: ‘No.’ Then it will be said: ‘Who will bear witness for you?’ He will say: ‘Muhammad and his nation.’ So the nation of Muhammad will be called and it will be said: ‘Did this man convey the message?’ They will say: ‘Yes.’ He will say: ‘How did you know that?’ They will say: ‘Our Prophet told us that the Messengers had conveyed the message, and we believed him.’ This is what Allah says: “Thus We have made you, a just (and the best) nation, that you be witnesses over mankind and the Messenger (Muhammad (ﷺ)) be a witness over you.’” [2:143]
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
The meaning of "wasat" is the middle, which is better and superior. The Ummah of Muhammad has this superiority over other communities that we believe in the previous noble prophets without having seen them.
And it also means moderate, that is, free from excess and deficiency. The teachings of Islam are free from excess and deficiency.
➋
All the prophets of Allah (alayhim as-salam) were truthful and sincere.
They fulfilled their duties with great diligence and sincerity.
➌
The testimony of the Ummah of Muhammad will be based on that certain knowledge which is acquired from the Qur'an and Hadith, because the knowledge obtained through revelation is more certain than the knowledge of an event witnessed with one's own eyes.
➍
The testimony of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) will be for the confirmation and support of the testimony of the Ummah.
➎
It is not correct to deduce from this verse that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is present (haazir) everywhere; otherwise, it would have to be accepted that all members of the Ummah are also present and witnessing, as they will testify regarding the prophets.
