أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ زُرَيْعٍ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ جَلَبَ وَلاَ جَنَبَ وَلاَ شِغَارَ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ وَمَنِ انْتَهَبَ نُهْبَةً فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا " .
'Imran bin Husain Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah said: "There is no 'bringing', no 'avoidance' and no Shighar in Islam, and whoever robs is not one of us."
[1] Jalab and Janab : i.e., the Zakâh collector should not stop in one place and demand that the people bring their goods and livestock to him for him to assess them, and determine how much Zakâh is due. Conversely the people should not go to remote areas away from where they are expected to be, so that the Zakâh collector has to travel far and face undue hardship in doing his job.[2] See No. 3336.Reference : Sunan an-Nasa'i 3590In-book reference : Book 28, Hadith 30English translation : Vol. 4, Book 28, Hadith 3620
Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 3590
This hadith lists several prohibited practices in one clear statement. It says there is no bringing, no avoidance, and no shighar in Islam, then adds that whoever robs is not one of us. The provided wording does not define the first three terms in detail, so they should be kept as named practices rather than explained with invented meanings. What the text makes plain is that all are rejected. The final sentence gives a severe warning against taking property by force. The core topic is prohibited practices because the narration joins several forms of unacceptable conduct in a single statement. It teaches readers to respect the exact wording of the hadith, avoid unsupported explanations, and recognize the strong rejection of robbery.
What we learn from this hadith
- The hadith directly rejects bringing, avoidance, and shighar.
- The provided text does not define those terms, so their meanings should not be invented.
- Robbery and forceful seizure receive a severe warning.
