اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَثَلُ الْقَائِمِ عَلَى حُدُودِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى ، وَالْمُدَّهِنِ فِيهَا ، كَمَثَلِ قَوْمٍ اسْتَهَمُوا عَلَى سَفِينَةٍ فِي الْبَحْرِ ، فَأَصَابَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَسْفَلَهَا ، وَأَصَابَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَعْلَاهَا ، فَكَانَ الَّذِينَ فِي أَسْفَلِهَا يَصْعَدُونَ ، فَيَسْتَقُونَ الْمَاءَ ، فَيَصُبُّونَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ فِي أَعْلَاهَا ، فَقَالَ الَّذِينَ فِي أَعْلَاهَا : لَا نَدَعُكُمْ تَصْعَدُونَ ، فَتُؤْذُونَنَا ، فَقَالَ الَّذِينَ فِي أَسْفَلِهَا : فَإِنَّنَا نَنْقُبُهَا مِنْ أَسْفَلِهَا ، فَنَسْتَقِي " قَالَ : " فَإِنْ أَخَذُوا عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمْ ، فَمَنَعُوهُمْ ، نَجَوْا جَمِيعًا ، وَإِنْ تَرَكُوهُمْ غَرِقُوا جَمِيعًا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Nu’man (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The example of those who establish the limits set by Allah and those who are lenient regarding them is like a people who set out on a sea journey. Some of them sit in the lower part (of the boat) and some in the upper part. Those in the lower part have to go up to fetch water, and some water spills on those above. Seeing this, the people above say, “We will not let you come up anymore, you cause us trouble.” The people below reply, “Alright, then we will make a hole in the bottom of the boat and get water from there.” Now, if the people above hold their hands and stop them from this, then all will be saved; otherwise, all will drown.
