باب النَّهْيِ عَنْ تَقْنِيطِ الإِنْسَانِ مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى:Chapter: The Prohibition Of Making Others Despair Of The Mercy Of Allah
حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ مُعْتَمِرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيُّ ، عَنْ جُنْدَبٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدَّثَ : " أَنَّ رَجُلًا ، قَالَ : وَاللَّهِ لَا يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِفُلَانٍ ، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى ، قَالَ : مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَتَأَلَّى عَلَيَّ أَنْ لَا أَغْفِرَ لِفُلَانٍ ، فَإِنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لِفُلَانٍ ، وَأَحْبَطْتُ عَمَلَكَ " أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ .
Jundub reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stated that a person said: Allah would not forgive such and such (person). Thereupon Allah the Exalted and Glorious, said: Who is he who adjures about Me that I would not grant pardon to so and so; I have granted pardon to so and so and blotted out his deeds (who took an oath that I would not grant pardon to him).
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: To swear an oath regarding a sinful and erring Muslim that Allah will not forgive him is to claim knowledge of the unseen, or to assert that one’s own status and rank with Allah is such that whatever one says, Allah will act accordingly. Alternatively, it is to cause another to despair of Allah’s mercy. All these matters are incorrect, and the evil consequences of some sins are so severe that they become a cause for the loss of good deeds, even though a person does not become a disbeliever because of them.
