اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ ، وَأَبُو أَحْمَدَ ، قَالاَ : حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْبَجَلِيُّ مِنْ بَنِي بَجْلَةَ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ ، عَن طَلْحَةَ . ح قَالَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ : حَدَّثَنَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ مُصَرِّفٍ ، عَن عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْسَجَةَ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، عَلِّمْنِي عَمَلًا يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ ، فَقَالَ : " لَئِنْ كُنْتَ أَقْصَرْتَ الْخُطْبَةَ ، لَقَدْ أَعْرَضْتَ الْمَسْأَلَةَ ، أَعْتِقْ النَّسَمَةَ ، وَفُكَّ الرَّقَبَةَ " . فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَوَلَيْسَتَا بِوَاحِدَةٍ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا ، إِنَّ عِتْقَ النَّسَمَةِ أَنْ تَفَرَّدَ بِعِتْقِهَا ، وَفَكَّ الرَّقَبَةِ أَنْ تُعِينَ فِي عِتْقِهَا ، وَالْمِنْحَةُ الْوَكُوفُ ، وَالْفَيْءُ عَلَى ذِي الرَّحِمِ الظَّالِمِ ، فَإِنْ لَمْ تُطِقْ ذَلِكَ ، فَأَطْعِمْ الْجَائِعَ ، وَاسْقِ الظَّمْآنَ ، وَأْمُرْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ ، وَانْهَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ ، فَإِنْ لَمْ تُطِقْ ذَلِكَ ، فَكُفَّ لِسَانَكَ إِلَّا مِنَ الْخَيْرِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Bedouin came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, “O Messenger of Allah! Tell me of an action that will admit me into Paradise.” The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “You have spoken briefly, but you have asked a very broad question. Free a slave (‘Itq Nasmah) and help in freeing a slave (Fakk Raqabah).” He said, “O Messenger of Allah! Are these two not the same thing? (Because both mean freeing a slave.)” The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “No. ‘Itq Nasmah means that you alone free a complete slave, and Fakk Raqabah means that you help in the freedom of a slave. In the same way, do good and show kindness to a close relative who is an oppressor. If you do not have the strength for this, then feed the hungry, give water to the thirsty, enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong. If you cannot do even this, then restrain your tongue except for good.”
