51. Companionship of Women
٥١۔ كِتَابُ عِشْرَةِ النِّسَاءِ
[Machine] Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood in a similar position to mine and said, "Treat my Companions well, then those who follow them, then those who follow them. Then lies will spread, to the extent that a man will swear an oath before he is asked to do so, and he will give testimony before being asked to do so. So whoever among you desires to attain the delights of Paradise, then let him adhere to the group. Indeed, Shaytan is with the individual, and he is further from two. And let no man be alone with a woman, for indeed, the third of them is Shaytan. And whoever among you is pleased with his good deeds and displeased with his evil deeds, then he is a believer." 9176 Ishaaq ibn Ibrahim informed us, narrating from Wahb ibn Jarir ibn Hazim, who said: My father informed me, saying: I heard Abd al-Malik ibn Umayr narrating from Jabir ibn Samurah, who said: Umar addressed us at Al-Jabiyyah and said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us and mentioned a similar story to the one of Jarir's narrations.
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَامَ فِي مِثْلِ مَقَامِي هَذَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَحْسِنُوا إِلَى أَصْحَابِي ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَفْشُو الْكَذِبُ حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَحْلِفَ عَلَى الْيَمِينِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْتَحْلَفَ عَلَيْهَا وَيَشْهَدُ عَلَى الشَّهَادَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْتَشْهَدَ عَلَيْهَا فَمَنْ أَرَادَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَنَالَ بُحْبُوحَةَ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَلْزَمِ الْجَمَاعَةَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ مَعَ الْوَاحِدِ وَهُوَ مِنَ الِاثْنَيْنِ أَبَعْدُ أَلَا لَا يَخْلُوَنَّ رَجُلٌ بِامْرَأَةٍ فَإِنَّ ثَالِثَهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ أَلَا وَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ تَسُوءُهُ سَيِّئَتُهُ وَتَسُرُّهُ حَسَنَتُهُ فَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ» 9176 أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا عُمَرُ بِالْجَابِيَةِ فَقَالَ قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَ حَدِيثِ جَرِيرٍ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood before us as I am standing before you, and said: ʿI urge you to show respect to my Companions, then those who come after them, then those who come after them, then lying will become so widespread that a man will start to give testimony before he is asked to do so.Whoever among you wants to attain a spacious abode in Paradise, let him adhere to the jama'ah (main body of Muslims), for the Shaitan is with the one who is alone, but he is further away from two. And no one of you should be alone with a woman for the Shaitan will be the third one present. The one who is pleased with his good deeds and upset by his bad deeds is a believer.ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 114)
قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَقَامِي فِيكُمُ الْيَوْمَ فَقَالَ «أَحْسِنُوا إِلَى أَصْحَابِي ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَفْشُو الْكَذِبُ حَتَّى يَشْهَدَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى الشَّهَادَةِ لَا يَسْأَلُهَا وَحَتَّى يَحْلِفَ عَلَى الْيَمِينِ لَا يَسْأَلُهَا فَمَنْ أَرَادَ بُحْبُوحَةَ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَلْزَمِ الْجَمَاعَةَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ مَعَ الْوَاحِدِ وَهُوَ مِنَ الِاثْنَيْنِ أَبَعْدُ أَلَا لَا يَخْلُوَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ بِالْمَرْأَةِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ ثَالِثُهُمَا وَمَنْ سَرَّتْهُ حَسَنَتُهُ وَسَاءَتْهُ سَيِّئَتُهُ فَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ»
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ giving a sermon and he said, "Honor my companions, then those who follow them, then those who follow them. Then falsehood will appear until a person bears witness without being asked to bear witness, and a person swears an oath without being asked to swear an oath. So whoever among you loves to be granted a home in Paradise, let him adhere to the congregation, for indeed Satan is with the individual, and he is farther away from two. And a man should not be alone with a woman, for indeed their third is Satan. And the one whose good deeds bring happiness to him and whose bad deeds bring him sadness is a believer."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ فَقَالَ «أَكْرِمُوا أَصْحَابِي ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَظْهَرُ الْكَذِبُ حَتَّى يَشْهَدَ الرَّجُلُ وَلَا يُسْتَشْهَدْ وَيَحْلِفَ الرَّجُلُ وَلَا يُسْتَحْلَفَ فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ مِنْكُمْ بُحْبُحَةَ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَلْزَمِ الْجَمَاعَةَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ مَعَ الْوَاحِدِ وَهُوَ مِنَ الِاثْنَيْنِ أَبَعْدُ وَلَا يَخْلُوَنَّ رَجُلٌ بِامْرَأَةٍ فَإِنَّ ثَالِثَهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ وَمَنْ سَرَّتْهُ حَسَنَتُهُ وَسَاءَتْهُ سَيِّئَتُهُ فَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ»
" 'Umar delivered a Khutbah to us at Al-Jabiyah. He said: 'O you people! Indeed I have stood among you as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us, and he said: "I order you (to stick to) my Companions, then those who come after them, then those who come after them. Then lying will spread until a man will take an oath when no oath was sought from him, and a witness will testify when his testimony was not sought. Behold! A man is not alone with a woman but the third of them is Ash-Shaitan. Adhere to the Jama'ah, beware of separation, for indeed Ash-Shaitan is with one, and he is further away from two. Whoever wants the best place in Paradise, then let him stick to the Jama'ah. Whoever rejoices with his good deeds and grieves over his evil deeds, then that is the believer among you.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2165)
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَامَ فِينَا كَقِيَامِي فِيكُمْ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ «أَكْرِمُوا أَصْحَابِي ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَفْشُو الْكَذِبُ حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لِيَحْلِفَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْتَحْلَفَ وَيَشْهَدَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْتَشْهَدَ فَمَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنَالَ بُحْبُحَةَ الْجَنَّةٍ فَعَلَيْهِ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ فَإِنَّ يَدَ اللهِ فَوْقَ الْجَمَاعَةِ لَا يَخْلُوَنَّ رَجُلٌ بِامْرَأَةٍ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ ثَالِثُهُمَا أَلَا إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ مَعَ الْوَاحِدِ وَهُوَ مِنَ الِاثْنَيْنِ أَبَعْدُ أَلَا مَنْ سَاءَتْهُ سَيِّئَتُهُ وَسَرَّتْهُ حَسَنَتُهُ فَذَلِكَ الْمُؤْمِنُ»
[Machine] Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us like I stand among you. He said, "Honor my Companions, then those who follow them, then those who follow them. Then falsehood will appear, and a man will swear an oath without being asked to do so, and he will testify without being asked to do so. So whoever desires the fragrance of Paradise, let him adhere to the congregation, for indeed, Satan is with the one who is alone, and he is farther away from two. And let no man be alone with a woman who is not lawful for him, for indeed, Satan is the third among them."
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَامَ فِينَا كَقِيَامِي فِيكُمْ فَقَالَ «أَكْرِمُوا أَصْحَابِي ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَظْهَرُ الْكَذِبُ فَيَحْلِفُ الرَّجُلُ وَلَا يُسْتَحْلَفُ وَيَشْهَدُ وَلَا يُسْتَشْهَدُ فَمَنْ أَرَادَ بُحْبُحَةَ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَلْزَمِ الْجَمَاعَةَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ مَعَ الْفَذِّ وَهُوَ مِنَ الِاثْنَيْنِ أَبَعْدُ وَلَا يَخْلُوَنَّ رَجُلٌ بِامْرَأَةٍ لَا تَحِلُّ لَهُ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ ثَالِثُهُمَا»
" 'Umar delivered a Khutbah to us at Al-Jabiyah. He said: 'O you people! Indeed I have stood among you as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood among us, and he said: "I order you (to stick to) my Companions, then those who come after them, then those who come after them. Then lying will spread until a man will take an oath when no oath was sought from him, and a witness will testify when his testimony was not sought. Behold!

(Using translation from Tirmidhī 2165)
إِنِّي قُمْتُ فِيكُمْ كَمَقَامِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِينَا فَقَالَ «أُوصِيكُمْ بِأَصْحَابِي ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَفْشُو الْكَذِبُ حَتَّى يَحْلِفَ الرَّجُلُ وَلَا يُسْتَحْلَفُ وَحَتَّى يَشْهَدَ وَلَا يُسْتَشْهَدُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْفُرْقَةَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ مَعَ الْوَاحِدِ وَهُوَ مِنَ الِاثْنَيْنِ أَبَعْدُ لَا يَخْلُوَنَّ رَجُلٌ بِامْرَأَةٍ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ إِلَّا كَانَ ثَالِثَهُمَا شَيْطَانٌ مَنْ أَرَادَ بُحْبُوحَةَ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَلْزَمِ الْجَمَاعَةَ مَنْ سَرَّتَهُ حَسَنَتْهُ وَسَاءَتْهُ سَيِّئَتُهُ فَذَلِكَ الْمُؤْمِنُ»
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Protect me among my companions, then those who come after them three times, then a people will come who will testify without being asked to testify and swear without being asked to swear. So whoever loves Paradise, then let him adhere to the community, for indeed, Shaytan is closer to a person when he is alone, and farther away when there are two people. And no man should be alone with a woman, except with a Mahram. And whoever is pleased with his good deeds and displeased with his bad deeds, then he is a believer."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «احْفَظُونِي فِي أَصْحَابِي ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي قَوْمٌ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ يَشْهَدُونَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُسْتَشْهَدُوا وَيَحْلِفُونَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُسْتَحْلَفُوا فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ الْجَنَّةَ فَعَلَيْهِ بِالْجَمَاعَةِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ مِنَ الْوَاحِدِ قَرِيبٌ وَمِنَ الِاثْنَيْنِ أَبَعْدُ وَلَا يَخْلُوَنَّ رَجُلٌ بِامْرَأَةٍ إِلَّا مَعَ ذِي مَحْرَمٍ وَمَنْ سَرَّتْهُ حَسَنَتُهُ وَسَاءَتْهُ سَيِّئَتُهُ فَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ»
