٢٤۔ كِتَابُ الْغَصْبِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said during his Farewell Pilgrimage, "Do you not know which month is the most sacred?" They said, "Our month, this month." He said, "Do you not know which land is the most sacred?" They said, "Our land, this land." He said, "Do you not know which day is the most sacred?" They said, "Our day, this day." He said, "Verily, Allah has made your lives, your wealth, and your honor sacred for one another, just as the sanctity of this day and this land. Have I not conveyed?" They said, "Yes, you have."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي حِجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ أَلَا أِيُّ شَهْرٍ تَعْلَمُونَهُ أَعْظَمَ حُرْمَةً؟ قَالُوا شَهْرُنَا هَذَا قَالَ أِيُّ بَلَدٍ تَعْلَمُونَهُ أَعْظَمَ حُرْمَةً؟ قَالُوا بَلَدُنَا هَذَا قَالَ تَعْلَمُونَ أِيَّ يَوْمٍ أَعْظَمَ؟ قَالُوا يَوْمُنَا هَذَا قَالَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ دِمَاءَكُمْ وَأَمْوَالَكُمْ وَأَعْرَاضَكُمْ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِي هَذَا فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا أَلَا هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ؟ ثَلَاثًا كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يُجِيبُونَهُ أَلَا نَعَمْ 11494 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الثَّقَفِيُّ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ السَّدُوسِيُّ ثنا عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ نَحْوَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَلَا أِيُّ بَلَدٍ أَلَا أِيُّ يَوْمٍ وَقَالَ أَلَا شَهْرُنَا هَذَا أَلَا بَلَدُنَا هَذَا أَلَا يَوْمُنَا هَذَا وَزَادَ فِيهِ مِنْ شَهْرِكُمْ هَذَا وَزَادَ فِي آخِرِهِ وَقَالَ وَيْحَكُمْ أَوْ وَيْلَكُمْ لَا تَرْجِعُوا بَعْدِي كُفَّارًا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ
[Machine] When that day came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mounted his camel and stopped, then he said, "Do you know which day this is?" We remained silent until we saw that he would name it something other than its actual name. He then said, "Is it not the day of sacrifice?" We replied, "Yes." Then he asked, "Do you know which month this is?" Again, we remained silent until we realized he would name it something other than its actual name. He then said, "Is it not the month of Dhul-Hijjah?" We replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." Then he asked, "Do you know which land this is?" Again, we remained silent until we realized he would name it something other than its actual name. He then said, "Is it not the city?" We replied, "Yes." He said, "Verily, your wealth, honor, and blood are sanctified among you just like the sanctity of this day of yours in this month of yours in this land of yours. Behold! Let him who is present convey the message to him who is absent, for perhaps the informed is more comprehending than the listener. Then he urged his camel towards the spoils and began to distribute them among the two men who had brought the sheep and the three men who had brought the camels.
لَمَّا كَانَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ رَكِبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَاقَتَهُ ثُمَّ وَقَفَ فَقَالَ أَتَدْرُونَ أِيُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا؟ فَسَكَتْنَا حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ سِوَى اسْمِهِ فَقَالَ أَلَيْسَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ؟ قُلْنَا بَلَى ثُمَّ قَالَ أَتَدْرُونَ أِيُّ شَهْرٍ هَذَا؟ فَسَكَتْنَا حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ سِوَى اسْمِهِ قَالَ أَلَيْسَ ذَا الْحِجَّةِ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ أَتَدْرُونَ أِيُّ بَلَدٍ هَذَا؟ فَسَكَتْنَا حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ سِوَى اسْمِهِ قَالَ أَلَيْسَ الْبَلْدَةَ؟ فَقُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ فَإِنَّ أَمْوَالَكُمْ وَأَعْرَاضَكُمْ وَدِمَاءَكُمْ حَرَامٌ بَيْنَكُمْ مِثْلُ يَوْمِكُمْ فِي مِثْلِ شَهْرِكُمْ فِي مِثْلِ بَلَدِكُمْ أَلَا لِيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَرُبَّ مُبَلَّغٍ هُوَ أَوْعَى مِنْ سَامِعٍ ثُمَّ مَالَ عَلَى نَاقَتِهِ إِلَى غُنَيْمَاتٍ فَجَعَلَ يَقْسِمُهَا بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ الشَّاةُ وَالثَّلَاثَةِ الشَّاةُ
Don't nurse grudge and don't bid him out for raising the price and don't nurse aversion or enmity and don't enter into a transaction when the others have entered into that transaction and be as fellow-brothers and servants of Allah. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim. He neither oppresses him nor humiliates him nor looks down upon him. The piety is here, (and while saying so) he pointed towards his chest thrice. It is a serious evil for a Muslim that he should look down upon his brother Muslim. All things of a Muslim are inviolable for his brother in faith: his blood, his wealth and his honour. (Using translation from Muslim 2564a)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا تَحَاسَدُوا وَلَا تَبَاغَضُوا وَلَا تَنَاجَشُوا وَلَا تَدَابَرُوا وَلَا يَبِعْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ وَكُونُوا عِبَادَ اللهِ إِخْوَانًا الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ لَا يَظْلِمُهُ وَلَا يَخْذُلُهُ وَلَا يَحْقِرُهُ التَّقْوَى هَا هُنَا يُشِيرُ إِلَى صَدْرِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ بِحَسْبِ امْرِئٍ مِنَ الشَّرِّ أَنْ يَحْقِرَ أَخَاهُ الْمُسْلِمَ كُلُّ الْمُسْلِمِ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ حَرَامٌ دَمُهُ وَمَالُهُ وَعِرْضُهُ
‘Abd Allah bin Umar reported the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ as saying “One should not milk the cattle of anyone without his permission. Does anyone of you like that any one approaches his corn cell and its storage is broken and then the corn scatters away? Likewise, the teats of their Cattle store their food. Therefore none of you should milk the cattle of anyone without his permission.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2623)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَحْلُبَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ مَاشِيَةَ غَيْرِهِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ تُؤْتَى مَشْرُبَتُهُ فَتُكْسَرَ خِزَانَتُهُ فَيُنْتَقَلَ طَعَامُهُ فَإِنَّمَا يَخْزُنُ لَهُمْ ضُرُوعُ مَوَاشِيهِمْ أَطْعِمَتَهُمْ فَلَا يَحْلُبَنَّ أَحَدٌ مَاشِيَةَ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited plundering and mutilation.
نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ النُّهْبَى وَالْمُثْلَةِ
[Machine] He heard the Prophet ﷺ say, "No one should take his brother's belongings jokingly or seriously, and if someone takes his brother's staff, he should return it to him."
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا يَأْخُذْ أَحَدُكُمْ مَتَاعَ أَخِيهِ لَاعِبًا أَوْ جَادًّا وَإِذَا أَخَذَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَصَا أَخِيهِ فَلْيَرُدَّهَا إِلَيْهِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Injustice is darkness on the Day of Judgment."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الظُّلْمُ ظُلُمَاتٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
Be on your guard against committing oppression, for oppression is a darkness on the Day of Resurrection, and be on your guard against stinginess for stinginess destroyed those who were before you, as it incited them to shed blood and make lawful what was unlawful for them. (Using translation from Muslim 2578)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ اتَّقُوا الظُّلْمَ؛ فَإِنَّ الظُّلْمَ ظُلُمَاتٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَاتَّقُوا الشُّحَّ؛ فَإِنَّ الشُّحَّ أَهْلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ حَمَلَهُمْ عَلَى أَنْ سَفَكُوا دِمَاءَهُمْ وَاسْتَحَلُّوا مَحَارِمَهُمْ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ sent Mu'adh ibn Jabal to Yemen and said to him at the end of his instructions, "Beware of the supplication of the oppressed, for there is no barrier between it and Allah." This hadith is reported by Bukhari and Muslim in Sahih from the narration of Waki' and others.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَعَثَ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ ؓ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ الْحَدِيثَ وَقَالَ فِي آخِرِهِ وَاتَّقِ دَعْوَةَ الْمَظْلُومِ؛ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ اللهِ حِجَابٌ وَأَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ وَمُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ وَكِيعٍ وَغَيْرِهِ
"O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another. O My servants, all of you are astray except for those I have guided, so seek guidance of Me and I shall guide you, O My servants, all of you are hungry except for those I have fed, so seek food of Me and I shall feed you. O My servants, all of you are naked except for those I have clothed, so seek clothing of Me and I shall clothe you."
"O My servants, you sin by night and by day, and I forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness of Me and I shall forgive you. O My servants, you will not attain harming Me so as to harm Me, and will not attain benefitting Me so as to benefit Me. O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as pious as the most pious heart of any one man of you, that would not increase My dominion in anything. O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as wicked as the most wicked heart of any one man of you, that would not decrease My dominion in anything. O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to rise up in one place and make a request of Me, and were I to give everyone what he requested, that would not decrease what I have, any more that a needle decreases the sea if put into it. O My servants, it is but your deeds that I record for you and then recompense you for. So let him who finds good, praise Allah, and let him who finds other than that blame no one but himself." (Using translation from Muslim 2577a)
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ اللهِ ﷻ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنِّي حَرَّمْتُ الظُّلْمَ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَجَعَلْتُهُ بَيْنَكُمْ مُحَرَّمًا فَلَا تَظَالَمُوا يَا عِبَادِي إِنَّكُمُ الَّذِينَ تُخْطِئُونَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَأَنَا الَّذِي أَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ وَلَا أُبَالِي فَاسْتَغْفِرُونِي أَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ يَا عِبَادِي كُلُّكُمْ جَائِعٌ إِلَّا مَنْ أَطْعَمْتُ فَاسْتَطْعِمُونِي أُطْعِمْكُمْ يَا عِبَادِي كُلُّكُمْ عَارٍ إِلَّا مَنْ كَسَوْتُهُ فَاسْتَكْسُونِي أَكْسُكُمْ يَا عِبَادِي لَوْ أَنَّ أَوَّلَكُمْ وَآخِرَكُمْ وَإِنْسَكُمْ وَجِنَّكُمْ كَانُوا عَلَى أَتْقَى قَلْبِ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ لَمْ يَزِدْ ذَلِكَ فِي مُلْكِي شَيْئًا يَا عِبَادِي لَوْ أَنَّ أَوَّلَكُمْ وَآخِرَكُمْ وَإِنْسَكُمْ وَجِنَّكُمْ كَانُوا عَلَى أَفْجَرِ قَلْبِ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ لَمْ يَنْقُصْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ مُلْكِي شَيْئًا يَا عِبَادِي لَوْ أَنَّ أَوَّلَكُمْ وَآخِرَكُمْ وَإِنْسَكُمْ وَجِنَّكُمُ اجْتَمَعُوا فِي صَعِيدٍ وَاحِدٍ فَسَأَلُونِي ثُمَّ أَعْطَيْتُ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْهُمْ مَا سَأَلَ لَمْ يَنْقُصْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ مُلْكِي شَيْئًا إِلَّا كَمَا يَنْقُصُ الْبَحْرُ يُغْمَسُ فِيهِ الْمِخْيَطُ غَمْسَةً وَاحِدَةً يَا عِبَادِي إِنَّمَا هِيَ أَعْمَالُكُمْ أَحْفَظُهَا عَلَيْكُمْ فَمَنْ وَجَدَ خَيْرًا فَلْيَحْمَدِ اللهَ وَمَنْ وَجَدَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَلَا يَلُومَنَّ إِلَّا نَفْسَهُ
Do you know who is poor? They (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) said: A poor man amongst us is one who has neither dirham with him nor wealth. He (the Holy Prophet) said: The poor of my Umma would be he who would come on the Day of Resurrection with prayers and fasts and Zakat but (he would find himself bankrupt on that day as he would have exhausted his funds of virtues) since he hurled abuses upon others, brought calumny against others and unlawfully consumed the wealth of others and shed the blood of others and beat others, and his virtues would be credited to the account of one (who suffered at his hand). And if his good deeds fall short to clear the account, then his sins would be entered in (his account) and he would be thrown in the Hell-Fire. (Using translation from Muslim 2581)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَتَدْرُونَ مَنِ الْمُفْلِسُ؟ قَالُوا الْمُفْلِسُ فِينَا مَنْ لَا دِرْهَمَ لَهُ وَلَا مَتَاعَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْمُفْلِسَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِصَلَاةٍ وَصِيَامٍ وَزَكَاةٍ وَيَأْتِي قَدْ شَتَمَ هَذَا وَقَذْفَ هَذَا وَأَكَلَ مَالَ هَذَا وَسَفَكَ دَمَ هَذَا وَضَرَبَ هَذَا فَيُعْطَى هَذَا مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ وَهَذَا مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ فَإِنْ فَنِيَتْ حَسَنَاتُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقْضَى عَنْهُ مَا عَلَيْهِ أُخِذَ مِنْ خَطَايَاهُمْ فَطُرِحَتْ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ طُرِحَ فِي النَّارِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِهِمَا سَوَاءٌ إِلَّا أَنَّ فِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ عَبْدَانَ فَيُقْضَى هَذَا مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ
“Rights will certainly be restored to those entitled to them on the Day of Resurrection, (to the point that) even the hornless sheep will lay claim upon the horned one.” (Using translation from Muslim 2582)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَتُؤَدَّنَّ الْحُقُوقُ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يُقَادَ لِلشَّاةِ الْجَلْحَاءِ مِنَ الشَّاةِ الْقَرْنَاءِ
[Machine] Al-Zubair: O Messenger of Allah, will what is between us with the specific sins be repeated? He (the Prophet): Yes, it will be repeated upon you until the right of every rightful person is restored. Al-Zubair: By Allah, the matter is indeed severe.
الزُّبَيْرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُكَرَّرُ عَلَيْنَا مَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَنَا مَعَ خَوَاصِّ الذُّنُوبِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ لَتُكَرَّرَنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ حَتَّى يُرَدَّ إِلَى كُلِّ ذِي حَقٍّ حَقُّهُ قَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ وَاللهِ إِنَّ الْأَمْرَ لَشَدِيدٌ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Verily, Allah gives respite to the wrongdoer until, when He seizes him, He will not let him escape." Then he recited, "{Such is the seizing of your Lord when He seizes the cities while they are committing wrong. Indeed, His seizing is painful and severe}" [Hud 102].
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ لَيُمْلِي الظَّالِمَ حَتَّى إِذَا أَخَذَهُ لَمْ يُفْلِتْهُ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {وَكَذَلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْقُرَى وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ} [هود 102]
