Ka'ida ta 8: Ka'idar Aiki
8 The Principle of Practice
Hanya ta biyu ta kiyaye hadisi ana kiranta da "ka'idar aiki." Wannan ita ce hanya mafi karfi ta kiyaye hadisai, kuma babu irinta ko kamarta a tarihi. Wanda ba musulmi ba ba zai taba tunanin yadda ayyukan Sahabbai suka rike kowace sunna ta Annabi ﷺ ba. Ma a yau, yawancin musulmi ba sa fahimtar soyayyar Sahabbai ga Annabi ﷺ, bin dabi'unsa na kashin kansa, ko dangantaka ta musamman da ke tsakaninsu da Annabi ﷺ. Ba a taba ganin wani misali mai girma kamar na Sahabbai ba a tarihin bil'adama. 'Urwa ibn Mas'ud al-Thaqafi bai riga ya karbi Musulunci ba. A yarjejeniyar Hudaibiyya ya lura sosai da Sahabbai, sai daga karshe ya ce:
The second method of preservation is called the “principle of practice.” This is the most powerful system of preservation of aúódõth, and it is both unprecedented and unrivaled in the annals of history. A non- Muslim could never even imagine how the practices of the Sahaba nurtured each and every Sunna of the Blessed Prophet (PBUH). In fact, even most of the Muslims of today cannot understand the love of the Sahaba for the Blessed Prophet (PBUH), their adherence to his personal habits or the unique relationship between them and the Blessed Prophet (PBUH). Never in history has mankind seen an example as great as the Sahaba. ‘Urwa ibn Masud Thaqafi had not yet embraced Islam. In the treaty of Hudaibiya he closely observed the Sahaba and finally said:
Ya ku mutane! Na ziyarci fadojin sarakuna sau da yawa. Na gamu da sarkin Rum, sarkin Farisa da Negus na Habasha, amma ina rantsuwa da Allah (SWTH) ban taɓa ganin wata al'umma tana girmama sarkinta kamar yadda na ga Sahabban Muhammadu ﷺ suna girmama shi ba. Ina rantsuwa da Allah (SWTH), idan ya yi tofi, sai an shafa shi a hannuwan, fuskokin da jikin ɗaya daga cikin Sahabbai kafin ya faɗi ƙasa. Idan ya umarta, ba sa jira sai sun yi gudu don cika umarnin. Idan ya yi alwala, Sahabban suna gogayya da juna wajen ɗaukar ruwan da ke digowa. Idan yana magana, sukan rage muryoyinsu. Ba sa iya kallonsa sosai saboda girmamawa da tsoronsa.29
Oh people! I have visited the courts of kings on many occasions. I have come face to face with the emperor of Rome, the king of Persia and Negus of Abyssinia, but by Allah (SWTH) I have not seen a people revere their king the way I saw the Companions of Muúammad (PBUH) revere him. By Allah (SWTH), if he as much as spits, it is rubbed on the hands, face and body of one of the Companions before it hits the ground. He does not order but they run to fulfill it. He performs ablution and the Companions compete with each other to take the dripping water. When he talks, they quell their voices. They cannot look at him fully out of awe for him.29
Anas ya ruwaito cewa: "Na ga Annabi ﷺ yana neman guntun kabewa a cikin kwano na miya. Daga wannan rana, na fara son kabewa."30
Anas relates, “I saw the Blessed Prophet (PBUH) searching for pieces of squash in a bowl of curry. From that day on, I loved squash.”30
Anas dan Sahabin Annabi ﷺ ne, kuma soyayyarsa ga Annabi ﷺ ta sa shi ma son kabewa. Idan bai son kabewa ba bayan ya san cewa Annabi ﷺ yana sonta, to da an samu wani bambanci tsakanin Sahabin da Annabi ﷺ. Amma ga Sahabbai babu batun son ransu ko kyamarsu a duk lokacin da aka kafa wata Sunna a kowane al'amari.
Anas was a Sahabi of the Blessed Prophet (PBUH); his love for the Blessed Prophet (PBUH) compelled him to also love squash. If he did not love squash after knowing that the Blessed Prophet (PBUH) liked it, then some difference would remain between the Sahabi and the Blessed Prophet (PBUH). But there was no question for the Companions, of their own likes or dislikes once a Sunna was established in any matter.
Saboda matuƙar ƙaunar da suke yi wa Annabi mai albarka ﷺ, Sahabbai sun kiyaye kowane fanni na rayuwar Annabi mai albarka ﷺ; ibadarsa, yadda yake ci, yadda yake barci, yadda yake aiki, da sauransu. A zamanin Sahabbai, babu wata hanya ta yin kowane abu sai bisa tafarkin Sunna. Akwai dubban irin waɗannan misalan ƙaunar Sahabbai ga Sunnar Annabi mai albarka ﷺ da aka ruwaito a cikin Hadisai. Ma'ana, dukkan Hadisai bayyanannen nuni ne na ƙaunar Sahabbai ga Annabi mai albarka ﷺ.
Because of their deep love for the Blessed Prophet (PBUH), the Sahaba preserved every aspect of the Blessed Prophet’s () life; his worship, the way he ate, slept, worked, etc. In the time of the Sahaba, there was no other way of doing anything except the way of the Sunna. Thousands of such examples of the devotion of the Sahaba for the Sunna of the Blessed Prophet (PBUH) are narrated in Ahadith. In fact, all Ahadith are a manifestation of the love of the Sahaba for the Blessed Prophet (PBUH).
