Ad-Dahhak bin Muzahim narrated: From Ibn Abbas [may Allah be pleased with him] who said: “Whoever has wealth, required him to perform Hajj to the House of his Lord, or upon which Zakat is obligatory, but he does not do it, then he shall ask to return (the world) upon his death.” A man said: “Oh Ibn Abbas! Have Taqwa of Allah! It is only the disbelievers who will be asked to return.” He said: “For that, I shall recite to you from the Qur’an: You who believe! Let not your properties or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allah. And whosever does that, then they are with the losers. And spend of that which We have provided you before death comes to one of you, and says: “My Lord! If only You would give me respite for a little while, then I should give Sadaqah” up to His saying: “And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.” He said: “So what makes Zakat obligatory?” He said: “When wealth reaches two hundred or above.” He said: “What makes Hajj obligatory?” He said: “Provisions and a camel.”
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو جَنَابٍ الْكَلْبِيُّ، عَنْ الضَّحَّاكِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ يُبَلِّغُهُ حَجَّ بَيْتِ رَبِّهِ أَوْ تَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ فِيهِ الزَّكَاةُ فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ سَأَلَ الرَّجْعَةَ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، اتَّقِ اللَّهَ إِنَّمَا سَأَلَ الرَّجْعَةَ الْكُفَّارُ، قَالَ: سَأَتْلُو عَلَيْكَ بِذَلِكَ قُرْآنًا: يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تُلْهِكُمْ أَمْوَالُكُمْ وَلا أَوْلادُكُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ 9 وَأَنْفِقُوا مِنْ مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ أَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَاللَّهُ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ سورة المنافقون آية 8 ـ 11 قَالَ: فَمَا يُوجِبُ الزَّكَاةَ ؟ قَالَ: إِذَا بَلَغَ الْمَالُ مِائَتَيْ دِرْهَمٍ فَصَاعِدًا، قَالَ: فَمَا يُوجِبُ الْحَجَّ ؟ قَالَ: الزَّادُ وَالْبَعِيرُ .
Explanation
تفسير الحديث
This hadith emphasizes the importance of performing religious obligations such as Hajj and Zakah. It indicates that a Muslim who has sufficient wealth to perform Hajj or fulfill financial duties like Zakah should hasten to carry them out. According to the hadith, if a Muslim delays performing these duties until their death, they may be questioned about it, and it is suggested that they will inquire about returning to the world, a matter associated with disbelievers, as noted by one of the listeners to Ibn Abbas. Ibn Abbas also cites verses from Surah Al-Munafiqun, encouraging believers not to be preoccupied with their wealth and children from the remembrance of Allah and fulfilling their duties. Moreover, the hadith clarifies the criteria for Zakah (at least 200 Dirhams), and the criteria for Hajj (having provision and a means of transport), making it a guide for Muslims regarding their religious responsibilities. This call to fulfill obligations highlights the importance of drawing closer to Allah and obeying His commands.
هذا الحديث يوضح أهمية أداء الشعائر الدينية مثل الحج والزكاة، ويدل على أن المسلم الذي يمتلك المال الكافي لأداء الحج أو للقيام بالواجبات المالية مثل الزكاة يجب عليه أن يسارع في تنفيذ ذلك. ووفقاً للحديث، إذا أخر المسلم أداء هذه الواجبات حتى موته، فإنه سيكون عُرضة للسؤال عنها ويُحتمل أن يسأل عن الرجعة، وهو أمر يخص الكفار كما جاء في ملاحظة أحد السامعين لابن عباس. كما يستشهد ابن عباس بالآيات من سورة المنافقون التي تحث المؤمنين على عدم الانشغال بأموالهم وأولادهم عن ذكر الله وأداء الواجبات. أيضًا، يوضح الحديث معايير الزكاة (مائتان درهم فما فوق) ومعايير الحج (وجود الزاد والبعير)، مما يجعله دليلاً على ما يتوجب على المسلم من مسؤوليات دينية. هذه الدعوة لأداء الفرائض تبرز أهمية التقرب إلى الله والامتثال لأوامره.
