Hadith 131
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّا لَا نَدْرِي، "لَعَلَّنَا نَأْمُرُكُمْ بِأَشْيَاءَ لَا تَحِلُّ لَكُمْ، وَلَعَلَّنَا نُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَشْيَاءَ هِيَ لَكُمْ حَلَالٌ، إِنَّ آخِرَ مَا نَزَلَ مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ آيَةُ الرِّبَا، وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يُبَيِّنْهَا لَنَا حَتَّى مَاتَ، فَدَعُوا مَا يَرِيبُكُمْ إِلَى مَا لَا يَرِيبُكُمْ".
It is narrated from Imam Sha'bi that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O people! We do not know, it may be that we command you regarding matters which are not permissible for you, and it may be that we declare things forbidden for you which are actually lawful for you. The last verse revealed in the Noble Qur'an was about usury, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not explain it to us in detail before he passed away. Therefore, leave that which you are doubtful about, and adopt that which you have no doubt about (act upon it).
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Ahadith 129 to 131)
The chain of narration of this report is weak, and its meaning is also questionable, because the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said at the time of his passing: «لَقَدْ تَرَكْتُكُمْ عَلَى الْبَيْضَاء لَيْلُهَا كَنَهَارِهَا لَا يَزِيْغُ عَنْهَا إِلَّا هَالِكٌ.» Translation: I have left you upon a clear and white Shari‘ah (law), whose night is as bright as its day; only one who is doomed will turn away from it.
[طبراني : 247/18] Furthermore, this is contrary to « ﴿بَلِّغْ مَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ﴾ [المائدة : 67]» “Convey what has been revealed to you from your Lord,” and «﴿لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَيْهِمْ﴾ [النحل: 44]».
Or, it may be intended that immediately after the revelation of this verse, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam passed away.
And Allah knows best.
