اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ.
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrated this hadith from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadiths 2206 to 2208)
The meaning of this hadith is that generally, people have the habit of seeking wealth, beauty, and lineage. Therefore, it is necessary for a religious person to give precedence to religion over all these qualities so that he may attain good companionship, and by the blessing of righteousness, Allah Ta’ala will also grant him good character and harmonious living. And due to righteousness, he will remain protected from religious and worldly tribulations.
«تَرِبَتْ يَدَاكَ» “May your hands be dust-covered”—this is not a curse, but rather a phrase that is commonly used in everyday speech, and its purpose is to incite or encourage towards something. Similarly, «لَا أُمَّ لَهُ ، لَا أَبَالَكْ ، وَيْلٌ لِأُمِّهِ» and other such expressions are used idiomatically, and their literal meaning is not intended.
