Hadith 2068
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عَدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ: كَانَ مَعْقِلُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ يَتَغَدَّى، فَسَقَطَتْ لُقْمَتُهُ، فَأَخَذَهَا فَأَمَاطَ مَا بِهَا مِنْ أَذًى، ثُمَّ أَكَلَهَا، قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ أُولَئِكَ الدَّهَاقِينُ يَتَغَامَزُونَ بِهِ، فَقَالُوا لَهُ: مَا تَرَى مَا يَقُولُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَعَاجِمُ، يَقُولُونَ: انْظُرُوا إِلَى مَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنْ الطَّعَامِ، وَإِلَى مَا يَصْنَعُ بِهَذِهِ اللُّقْمَةِ ؟ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ أَدَعُ مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِقَوْلِ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَعَاجِمِ،"إِنَّا كُنَّا نُؤْمَرُ إِذَا سَقَطَتْ لُقْمَةُ أَحَدِنَا أَنْ يُمِيطَ مَا بِهَا مِنْ الْأَذَى، وَأَنْ يَأْكُلَهَا".
Imam Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Ma'qil bin Yasar (may Allah be pleased with him) was eating food at noon when a morsel of his fell down. He cleaned off the dirt from it and then ate it. The farmers began signaling with their eyes. People said to him: Do you see what these non-Arabs are saying? They say, "Look at how much food is in front of him, yet he picks up and eats that morsel." Sayyiduna Ma'qil (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: I cannot abandon what I have heard just because of what these non-Arabs say. We were commanded that when a morsel falls from any of you, he should clean off whatever dirt (etc.) has stuck to it and then eat it.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Ahadith 2066 to 2068)
The meaning of Sayyiduna Ma'qil bin Yasar radi Allahu anhu was that I will not abandon (acting upon) the noble hadith, even if these non-Arab foreigners laugh at me, taunt me, or speak ill of me.
Subhan Allah! It is obligatory upon every believer to follow the noble hadith and the Sunnah in this very manner, even if the worldly people consider acting upon it to be bad, or they taunt and reproach, or are ready to cause harm, or consider (the follower) insignificant.
(Wahidi).
From this hadith, it is understood that if a morsel falls from someone's hand, he should clean off the dust and eat it, unless cleaning it is not possible.
