41. Stoning
٤١۔ كِتَابُ الرَّجْمِ
The Prophet ﷺ said: He who sees something which should be kept hidden and conceals it will be like one who has brought to life a girl buried alive. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4891)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ رَأَى عَوْرَةً فَسَتَرَهَا كَانَ كَمَنْ أَحْيَا مَوْءُودَةً مِنْ قَبْرِهَا»
The Prophet ﷺ said: He who sees something which should be kept hidden and conceals it will be like one who has brought to life a girl buried alive. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4891)
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ رَأَى عَوْرَةً فَسَتَرَهَا كَانَ كَمَنِ اسْتَحْيَا مَوْءُودَةً مِنْ قَبْرِهَا»
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , say, "Whoever sees a fault or deficiency in a Muslim and conceals it, it is as if he has brought a buried daughter back to life."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ رَأَى عَوْرَةً مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ فَسَتَرَهَا فَكَأَنَّمَا اسْتَحْيَا مَوْءُودَةً»
If anyone removes his brother’s anxiety of this world, Allah will remove for him one of the anxieties of the Day of resurrection; if anyone makes easy for an impoverished man, Allah will make easy for him in this world and on the day of resurrection; if anyone conceals a Muslim’s secrets, Allah will conceal his secrets in this world and on the Day of resurrection; Allah will remain in the aid of a servant so long as the servant remains in the aid of his brother. Abu Dawud said: ‘Uthman did not transmit the following words from Abu Mu’awiyah: “if anyone makes easy for an impoverished man”. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4946)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ سَتَرَ أَخَاهُ الْمُسْلِمَ فِي الدُّنْيَا سَتَرَهُ اللهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَمَنْ نَفَّسَ عَنْ أَخِيهِ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ الدُّنْيَا نَفَّسَ اللهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَاللهُ فِي عَوْنِ الْعَبْدِ مَا كَانَ الْعَبْدُ فِي عَوْنِ أَخِيهِ»
If anyone removes his brother’s anxiety of this world, Allah will remove for him one of the anxieties of the Day of resurrection; if anyone makes easy for an impoverished man, Allah will make easy for him in this world and on the day of resurrection; if anyone conceals a Muslim’s secrets, Allah will conceal his secrets in this world and on the Day of resurrection; Allah will remain in the aid of a servant so long as the servant remains in the aid of his brother. Abu Dawud said: ‘Uthman did not transmit the following words from Abu Mu’awiyah: “if anyone makes easy for an impoverished man”. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4946)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ نَفَّسَ عَنْ أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ الدُّنْيَا نَفَّسَ اللهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ الْآخِرَةِ وَمَنْ سَتَرَ أَخَاهُ الْمُسْلِمَ سَتَرَهُ اللهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَاللهُ فِي عَوْنِ الْعَبْدِ مَا كَانَ الْعَبْدُ فِي عَوْنِ أَخِيهِ»
That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever relieves a Muslim of a burden from the burdens of the world, Allah will relieve him of a burden from the burdens of the Hereafter. And whoever covers (the faults of) a Muslim, Allah will cover (his faults) for him in the world and the Hereafter. And Allah is engaged in helping the worshipper as long as the worshipper is engaged in helping his brother." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1425)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ فَرَّجَ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ الدُّنْيَا فَرَّجَ اللهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ الْآخِرَةِ وَمَنْ سَتَرَ أَخَاهُ الْمُؤْمِنَ فِي الدُّنْيَا سَتَرَهُ اللهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَاللهُ فِي عَوْنِ الْعَبْدِ مَا كَانَ الْعَبْدُ فِي عَوْنِ أَخِيهِ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever relieves his brother of a distress, Allah will relieve him of a distress from the distressful Day of Judgment. And whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and the Hereafter. Allah helps a servant as long as the servant helps his brother."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ فَرَّجَ عَنْ أَخِيهِ كُرْبَةً فَرَّجَ اللهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ سَتَرَ عَلَى أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ سَتَرَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَاللهُ فِي حَاجَةِ الْعَبْدِ مَا كَانَ الْعَبْدُ فِي حَاجَةِ أَخِيهِ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever relieves a believer of a hardship from the hardships of this world, Allah will relieve him of a hardship from the hardships of the Hereafter. And whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and the Hereafter. Allah will assist a servant as long as the servant is assisting his brother." [467] 7249 Ibrahim bin Ya'qub told me that Abu Nu'man told us that Abu 'Awanah told us from Al-A'mash from Abu Salih from Abu Hurairah. Perhaps he said from Abu Sa'id: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever relieves a believer of a hardship, Allah will relieve him of a hardship similar to it, whether it be physical or otherwise." 7250 Muhammad bin Isma'il bin Samura Al-Kufi told me that Asbat, the son of Muhammad, told us that Al-A'mash told us: I was informed by Abu Salih, who was informed by Abu Hurairah, who narrated from the Prophet ﷺ something similar to that.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ نَفَّسَ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ الدُّنْيَا نَفَّسَ اللهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ الْآخِرَةِ وَمَنْ سَتَرَ عَلَى مُسْلِمٍ سَتَرَهُ اللهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَاللهُ فِي عَوْنِ الْعَبْدِ مَا كَانَ الْعَبْدُ فِي عَوْنِ أَخِيهِ» [467] 7249 أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ نَفَّسَ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ كُرْبَةً مِثْلَهُ سَوَاءً 7250 أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ الْكُوفِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَسْبَاطٌ هُوَ ابْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ قَالَ حُدِّثْتُ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَحْوَهُ
A Muslim is a Muslim’s brother: he does not wrong him or abandon him. If anyone cares for his brother’s need, Allah will care for his need ; if anyone removes a Muslim’s anxiety, Allah will remove from him, on account of it, one of the anxieties of the Day of resurrection ; and if anyone conceals a Muslim’s fault, Allah will conceal his fault on the Day of resurrection. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4893)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ لَا يَظْلِمُهُ وَلَا يُسْلِمُهُ مَنْ كَانَ فِي حَاجَةِ أَخِيهِ كَانَ اللهُ فِي حَاجَتِهِ وَمَنْ فَرَّجَ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ كُرْبَةً فَرَّجَ اللهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ سَتَرَ مُسْلِمًا سَتَرَهُ اللهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»
"We were with the Prophet in a gathering and he said: 'Pledge to me that you will not associate anything with Allah, you will not steal, and you will not have unlawful sexual relations.' He recited the Verse to them (and said) Whoever does any of these things, and Allah conceals him then it is up to Allah, the mighty and Sublime: If He wills, He will punish him, and if He wills, He will forgive him. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4210)
كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي مَجْلِسٍ فَقَالَ «تُبَايِعُونِي عَلَى أَنْ لَا تُشْرِكُوا بِاللهِ شَيْئًا وَلَا تَسْرِقُوا وَلَا تَزْنُوا قَرَأَ عَلَيْهِمْ الْآيَةَ فَمَنْ وَفَّى مِنْكُمْ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللهِ وَمَنْ أَصَابَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا فَسَتَرَهُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ فَهُوَ إِلَى اللهِ إِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ غَفَرَ لَهُ»
