Hadith 113

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الزُّبَيْرِيُّ وَهُوَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ ، يَقُولُ : إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ ، خَرَجَتْ بِهِ قُرْحَةٌ ، فَلَمَّا آذَتْهُ ، انْتَزَعَ سَهْمًا مِنْ كِنَانَتِهِ فَنَكَأَهَا ، فَلَمْ يَرْقإِ الدَّمُ حَتَّى مَاتَ ، قَالَ : " رَبُّكُمْ ، قَدْ حَرَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ " ، ثُمَّ مَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَقَالَ : إِي وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ حَدَّثَنِي بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ جُنْدَبٌ ، عَنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ .
It is reported on the authority of Hasan: A person belonging to the people of the past suffered from a boil, when it pained him, he drew out an arrow from the quiver and pierced it. And the bleeding did not stop till he died. Your Lord said: I forbade his entrance into Paradise. Then he (Hasan) stretched his hand towards the mosque and said: By God, Jundab transmitted this hadith to me from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in this very mosque.

وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبيِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ ، يَقُولُ : حَدَّثَنَا جُنْدَبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَجَلِيُّ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَمَا نَسِينَا وَمَا نَخْشَى أَنْ يَكُونَ جُنْدَبٌ ، كَذَبَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " خَرَجَ بِرَجُلٍ فِيمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ خُرَاجٌ " ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ .
It is reported on the authority of Hasan: Jundab bin 'Abdullah al-Bajali narrated this hadith in this mosque which we can neither forget and at the same time we have no apprehension that Jundab could attribute a lie to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . He (the Holy Prophet) observed: A person belonging to the people of the past suffered from a boil, and then the rest of the hadith was narrated.

Hadith Commentary:
The mention of a person from previous times has been narrated in the hadith; this is the relevance to the chapter. The hadith indicates that Paradise is forbidden for the one who commits suicide. In all these narrations, the mention of the People of the Book (Ahl al-Kitab) has been indicated in one way or another, which is why they have been included here.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:

In this hadith, the words (من قبلكم) "those before you" are mentioned, which also includes Bani Isra'il (the Children of Israel).


In this hadith, it is stated that Paradise is forbidden for the one who commits suicide. This ruling is based on rebuke and admonition. It is also possible that the person considered suicide to be permissible; doing so is disbelief (kufr), and Paradise is forbidden for a disbeliever. Or, it may be that a specific Paradise has been forbidden for him, meaning he will not enter Jannat al-Firdaws. Hafiz Ibn Hajar rahimahullah has mentioned seven such instances. In any case, committing suicide is a very grave crime; through this act, a person can be deprived of Paradise. (Fath al-Bari: 6/611)


From this hadith, it is understood that narrating the incidents of previous nations is permissible, provided that there is an aspect of admonition and advice in them. Otherwise, listening to and narrating stories merely for entertainment is not permissible. And Allah knows best.


In all these ahadith, there is mention of the People of the Book in one way or another; therefore, Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has taken care to narrate these ahadith.
