Hadith 19573
اُردوEn
وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ مَثَلَ مَا بَعَثَنِي اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهِ مِنَ الْهُدَى وَالْعِلْمِ ، كَمَثَلِ غَيْثٍ أَصَابَ الْأَرْضَ ، فَكَانَتْ مِنْهُ طَائِفَةٌ قَبِلَتْ ، فَأَنْبَتَتْ الْكَلَأَ وَالْعُشْبَ الْكَثِيرَ ، وَكَانَتْ مِنْهَا أَجَادِبُ أَمْسَكَتْ الْمَاءَ ، فَنَفَعَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهَا نَاسًا ، فَشَرِبُوا ، فَرَعَوْا ، وَسَقَوْا وَزَرَعُوا وَأَسْقَوْا ، وَأَصَابَتْ طَائِفَةً مِنْهَا أُخْرَى ، إِنَّمَا هِيَ قِيعَانٌ لَا تُمْسِكُ مَاءً ، وَلَا تُنْبِتُ كَلَأً ، فَذَلِكَ مَثَلُ مَنْ فَقُهَ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، وَنَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِمَا بَعَثَنِي بِهِ ، وَنَفَعَ بِهِ ، فَعَلِمَ وَعَلَّمَ ، وَمَثَلُ مَنْ لَمْ يَرْفَعْ بِذَلِكَ رَأْسًا ، وَلَمْ يَقْبَلْ هُدَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الَّذِي أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِ " .
And the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said that the example of the guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me is like that of rain which falls upon the earth. Now, some part of the earth accepts it and from it grows abundant grass and fodder. Some part is barren, which holds the water, and through it Allah benefits the people; so they drink from it, quench their thirst, give it to their animals to drink, use it in cultivation, and give it to others to drink. And some part is a flat plain which neither holds the water nor grows any grass. This is the example of the person who understands the religion of Allah and Allah benefits him with what He has sent me with; people also benefit from it, and he acquires knowledge and spreads it. And this is the example of the person who does not even raise his head for it and does not accept the guidance of Allah with which I have been sent.
