اُردوEn
61 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ يَحْيَي بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَاطِبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ: قَالَ الزُّبَيْرَ: لَمَّا نَزَلتْ ﴿ ثُمَّ لَتُسْئَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ﴾ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَأَيُّ نَعِيمٍ نُسْأَلُ عَنْهُ؟ وَإِنَّمَا هُمَا الْأَسْوَدَانِ التَّمْرُ وَالْمَاءُ قَالَ «إِمَّا أَنَّ ذَلِكَ سَيَكُونُ» قَالَ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ فَكَانَ سُفْيَانُ رُبَّمَا قَالَ: قَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ فَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) said that when this verse was revealed: "Then you will surely be questioned about the blessings," I submitted: O Messenger of Allah! About which blessings will we be questioned? Whereas we only have these two things: dates and water. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This will certainly happen." Humaydi (may Allah have mercy on him) says: The narrator named Sufyan has sometimes narrated these words as being from Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him), while at other times he has narrated these words as being from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him), then he said that Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) said this.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit:
From this hadith, it is established that hadith is an explanation and clarification of the Noble Qur’an. Also, see (Explanation of Hadith: 60). Every blessing that Allah, the Exalted, has bestowed upon His servants and the jinn, regarding every blessing, a question will be asked on the Day of Resurrection. If the Creator and Owner wills, He may admit someone to Paradise without reckoning, but if He wills, He may question about every single breath and even the smallest of blessings—who is there to question Him? From this, it is also understood that a person should always remain patient and grateful, and should never disobey or show ingratitude to Allah, the Exalted. The poverty of the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) is also made clear, as at times they would subsist only on water and dates—Subhan Allah.
