حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " إِنَّكُمْ مَنْصُورُونَ وَمُصِيبُونَ وَمَفْتُوحٌ لَكُمْ فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيَتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَلْيَأْمُرْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَلْيَنْهَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَمَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَىَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud Narrated from:
'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud narrated from his father, that he heard the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said: "Indeed You Shall Be Aided, Capturing, And Victorious; So Whoever Among You Sees That, Then Let Him Have Taqwa Of Allah, And Let Him Command The Good And Forbid The Evil, And Whoever Lies About Me On Purpose, Then Let Him Take His Seat In The Fire."
[1] Aided against the enemies, capturing spoils of war, and victorious over many lands. See Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi .Reference : Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2257In-book reference : Book 33, Hadith 100English translation : Vol. 4, Book 7, Hadith 2257
Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 2257
This hadith about victory and taqwa speaks to people who would be aided, capture, and be given openings. The Prophet told those who witness that to have taqwa of Allah, command good, and forbid evil. The hadith then gives a strong warning: whoever lies about the Prophet on purpose should take his seat in the Fire. The message is clear and balanced. Success should not make a person careless. When power, victory, or openings come, believers still need taqwa, moral duty, and truthfulness. This hadith also warns against inventing words and attributing them to the Prophet, which is a serious matter.
What we learn from this hadith
- Victory and success should be met with taqwa of Allah.
- Commanding good and forbidding evil remain duties during success.
- The hadith strongly warns against lying about the Prophet on purpose.
- Religious speech must be treated with honesty and care.
