10 麦地那的宣教(Da'wah)
10 The Da’wah in Madinah
当第一次“al-‘Aqabah”宣誓的人返回麦地那,伊斯兰在Ansar的每一户人家都传播开来时,他们派了一个人带着一封信去见安拉的使者ﷺ,请求他派人去教导他们宗教与《古兰经》。安拉的使者ﷺ从来不会让那些皈依伊斯兰的人得不到教导:他总是教他们律例,并以纯正的伊斯兰文化培育他们,使他们能够理解伊斯兰、领悟其精髓。伊斯兰文化对每一位穆斯林都至关重要,它是巩固信仰、理解伊斯兰讯息的途径,也因此保障了伊斯兰被持续地践行。那些皈依伊斯兰的人已经意识到这一点,于是请求有人来教导他们,安拉的使者ﷺ便派遣穆斯‘ab·伊本·‘Umayr前往他们那里。
When the people of the first pledge of al-‘Aqabah returned to Madinah and Islam spread to every single household among the Ansar, they sent a man to the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) with a letter asking him to send them someone who would teach them the Deen and the Qur’an. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) never used to leave those who embraced Islam without teaching them the rules and nurturing them with the sound Islamic culture which would enable them to understand Islam and realize its essence. For the Islamic culture is vital to every Muslim, and is a means of strengthening the ‘Aqeedah and of understanding the Message of Islam, and thereby guarantees the consistent application of Islam. Those who embraced Islam had sensed this, therefore, they asked for someone to teach them, and the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) sent Mus’ab ibn ‘Umayr to them.
抵达后,穆斯阿布住在阿斯阿德·本·祖拉拉家中。随后他开始走访人们的家庭和营地,召唤他们归信伊斯兰,并诵读古兰经。于是,一人或两人接受了伊斯兰,直至伊斯兰显扬起来,传遍了安萨尔的每一户人家,唯独哈特马、瓦伊勒和瓦基夫家族除外,他们属于奥斯-安拉部落。穆斯阿布·本·欧麦尔为他们教授宗教与古兰经诵读。之后,他写信给安拉的使者ﷺ,请求许可召集他们聚会。安拉的使者ﷺ准许了他,并回信说:“等到犹太人宣布他们的安息日,在下午时分,你们向安拉作两拜,然后发表你们的呼图白。”穆斯阿布·本·欧麦尔在萨德·本·海赛姆家中召集了他们,共十二人,并为他们宰了一只山羊。穆斯阿布是伊斯兰历史上第一个主持主麻拜的人。穆斯阿布继续在麦地那各处走动,召唤人们归信伊斯兰,并教导他们宗教知识。 有一天,阿斯阿德·本·祖拉拉与穆斯阿布·本·欧麦尔前往奥斯拉部落和扎法尔部落的地区。(萨德·本·穆阿兹恰好是阿斯阿德·本·祖拉拉的母系堂兄。)他们走进扎法尔部落的一座花园,从一口名叫马拉格的井旁进入并坐下,那里有一些已经皈依伊斯兰的人聚集在一起。当时,萨德·本·穆阿兹与乌赛德·本·胡达伊尔是他们部落阿卜杜·阿舒哈勒家族的首领,两人都遵循本部落的多神信仰。他们听说穆斯阿布的事后,萨德对乌赛德说:“你去找那些闯进我们地界、蒙骗我们同伴的家伙,把他们赶走,禁止他们进入我们的地界。”
. On arrival, Mus’ab lodged with As’ad ibn Zurarah, he then began visiting people in their homes and camps, calling them to Islam and reciting the Qur’an and consequently a man or two would embrace Islam, until Islam manifested itself and spread to every household of the Ansar, except the households of Khatmah, Wa’il and Waqif who were from (the clan of) Aws-Allah. Mus’ab ibn ‘Umayr was teaching them the deen and recitation of the Qur’an. Then he wrote to the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) asking his permission to gather them. Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) granted him permission and wrote back, “Wait until the Jews declare their Sabbath, and in the afternoon, approach Allah with two Rak’at and then deliver your Khutbah.” Mus’ab ibn ‘Umayr gathered them in the house of Sa’d ibn Khaythamah, they were twelve men and he slaughtered for them one goat. Mus’ab was the first in the history of Islam to hold Jum’uah prayer.. Mus’ab continued to go around Madinah calling people to Islam and teaching them the Deen.. One day As’ad ibn Zurarah went out with Mus’ab ibn ‘Umayr to the areas of Banu al-Ashhal and of Banu Zafar (Sa’d ibn Mu’adh was incidentally As’ad ibn Zurarah’s maternal cousin.) They entered one of the gardens of Banu Zafar by a well called Maraq and sat in it, where some of the men who had accepted Islam had gathered together. Sa’d ibn Mu’adh and Usayd ibn Hudayr were at the time leaders of their clan, the Banu ‘Abd al-Ashhal, and both followed the polytheism of their tribe. When they had heard about Mus’ab, Sa’d said to Usayd, “Go to these fellows who have entered our quarters to make fools of our comrades, drive them out and forbid them to enter our quarters. .
“要不是As’ad ibn Zurarah与我有亲戚关系,你也知道,我早就替你们省事了。他是我姑母的儿子,我对他无可奈何。”于是Usayd拿起长矛走向他们。As’ad看到他过来,便对Mus’ab说:“这是他们部落的首领正朝你们走来,所以要对他诚实,敬畏真主。”Mus’ab说:“如果他愿意坐下,我就和他谈谈。”他站在他们面前,满脸怒气,质问他们为何来欺骗他们那些较弱的同伴。“如果你们珍惜自己的性命,就离开这里。”Mus’ab说:“你难道不愿坐下来听一听吗?如果你喜欢所听到的,可以接受;如果你不喜欢,可以放下不理。”他认为这样公平,便把长矛插在地上,坐了下来。Mus’ab向他讲解伊斯兰,并诵读了《古兰经》。据他们的记述,事后他们说:“以真主发誓,在他开口之前,我们就从他脸上那平和的光辉中认出了伊斯兰。”他说:“这是多么美妙、多么优美的言论!想要进入这个宗教的人该怎么做呢?”他们告诉他,必须洗净自己和衣物,然后作证真理,并礼拜两拜。他立即照做,并说:“我身后有一个人,如果他跟随你们,他的每一个族人都会跟随他。我马上派他来见你们,他就是Sa’d ibn Mu’adh。”
If it were not that As’ad ibn Zurarah is related to me as you know I would save you the trouble. He is my aunt’s son and I can do nothing to him.” So Usayd took his lance and went to them; and when As’ad saw him he said to Mus’ab, “This is the chief of his tribe who is coming to you, so be true to Allah with him.” Mus’ab said, “If he will sit down, I will talk to him.” He stood over them looking furious and asking what they meant by coming to deceive their weaker comrades. “Leave us if you value your lives.” Mus’ab said, “Won’t you sit down and listen. If you like what you hear you can accept it, and if you don’t like it you can leave it alone.” He agreed that was fair, stuck his lance in the ground, and sat down. Mus’ab explained Islam to him and read the Qur’an. Afterwards they said, according to what has been reported by them, “By Allah, before he spoke we recognized Islam in his face by its peaceful glow.” He said, “What a wonderful and beautiful discourse this is! What does one do if he wants to enter this Deen?” They told him that he must wash and purify himself and his garments, then bear witness to the Truth and pray two Rak’at. He immediately did so and said, “There is a man behind me who if he follows you every one of his people will follow suit. I will send him to you at once. It is Sa’d ibn Mu’adh.”. .
他拿起长矛,走向正坐在议事场所的萨德和他的族人。萨德远远看见他走来,便说:“以真主发誓,乌赛德带着的神情与他离开你们时不同了。”乌赛德走近后问发生了什么事,他说:“我已与那两个人谈过,我没有发现他们有什么不妥。我禁止他们继续,他们却对我说:我们会照你的意思去做。我还得知哈里萨部落已出去对付阿斯阿德,想要杀他,因为他们知道他是你姑母的儿子,以此使你看起来是背弃庇护客人的人。”
Taking his lance, he went off to Sa’d and his people sitting in a meeting place. When Sa’d saw him coming, he said, “By Allah, Usayd is coming with a different expression from that which he had when he left you.” And when he came up he asked what had happened, he said, “I have spoken to the two men and I find no harm in them. I forbade them to go on and they said to me: We will do what you like; and I was told that Banu Harithah had gone out against As’ad to kill him because they knew that he was the son of your aunt so as to make you appear a treacherous protector of your guests.”. .
萨阿德勃然大怒,听到有关班·哈里萨的话后,立刻站了起来。他从手中夺过长矛,说道:“以安拉(swt)发誓,你们简直毫无作用!”他走出去来到他们面前,看到他们悠然自得地坐着,便明白是乌赛德有意让他来听他们说话。他站在他们身旁,满脸怒色。他对阿斯阿德说:“阿布·乌玛玛啊,若不是我们之间的亲戚关系,你不会这样对待我。你们在我们的地方这样做,是我们所厌恶的啊!” 阿斯阿德先前已对穆萨卜说:“穆萨卜啊,以安拉发誓,那位被族人追随的首领正向你们走来。如果他跟随你,他的族人中就不会有人留下来。”于是穆萨卜对他说:“你不坐下来听听吗?如果你喜欢所听到的,就可以接受;如果你不喜欢,就可以放下。”他认为这样公平,便把长矛插在地上,坐了下来。穆萨卜为他讲解伊斯兰,并为他诵读《古兰经》。
Sa’d was enraged and got up at once, alarmed at what had been said about the Banu Harithah. He took the lance from his hand saying, “By Allah (swt) see that you have been utterly ineffective.” He went out to them and when he saw them sitting comfortably he knew that Usayd had intended that he should listen to them. He stood over them, looking furious. He said to As’ad, “O Abu Umamah, were it not for the relationship between us you would not have treated me thus. Would you behave in our homelands in a way we detest?” As’ad already had said to Mus’ab, “O Mus’ab, by Allah the leader who is followed by his people has come to you. If he follows you, no two of them will remain behind.” So Mus’ab said to him, “Won’t you sit down and listen. If you like what you hear you can accept it, and if you don’t like it you can leave it alone.” He agreed that was fair, stuck his lance in the ground, and sat down. He explained Islam to him and read for him the Qur’an. .
随后,据流传下来的记载,他们说:“以真主起誓,在他开口说话之前,我们就从他脸上的平和光辉中认出了伊斯兰。”他说:“这段话多么美妙、多么优美!若有人想进入这一宗教,该怎么做?”他们告诉他,必须洗净自己和衣物,然后作证真理,并礼拜。他立刻照做了。随后,他拿起长矛,在乌赛德·伊本·胡答伊尔的陪同下,回到他族人的聚会之所。他们看见他走来,便说:“我们以真主起誓,萨德离开你们时是一副模样,回来时却换了一副神情。”他走到他们面前,说:“哦,阿卜杜·阿什哈勒的子孙们,你们认为我在你们中间的权威如何?”他们回答:“你是我们的首领,最热心于我们的事务,判断最为明智,领导最为吉祥。”他说:“在你们中间的男人和女人信仰真主和他的使者之前,我不会与任何一人说话。”结果,阿卜杜·阿什哈勒的子孙中,每一个男人和女人都皈依了伊斯兰。穆萨卜随后回到阿萨德·伊本·祖拉拉的家,并以客人的身份住在他那里,他继续召唤人们归信伊斯兰,直到安萨尔的几乎每一户人家中都有了穆斯林男女。穆萨卜·伊本·欧麦尔在麦地那停留了一年,在奥斯和海兹拉只人中教授他们的宗教,并怀着极大的喜悦,见证真主权威和真理之言的助士日益增多。
Afterwards they said, according to what has been reported of them, “By Allah, before he spoke we recognized Islam in his face by its peaceful glow.” He said, “What a wonderful and beautiful discourse this is! What does one do if he wants to enter this Deen?” They told him that he must wash and purify himself and his garments, then bear witness to the truth and pray. He immediately did so. Then he took his lance and went back to his people’s meeting place accompanied by Usayd ibn Hudayr. When they saw him coming they said, “We swear by Allah, Sa’d has returned with a different expression from that which he had when he left you.” And when he stopped by them he said, “O Banu ‘Abd al-Ashhal, how do you rate my authority amongst you?” They replied, “You are our chief, the most active in our interests, the best in judgment and the most fortunate in leadership.” He said, “I will not speak to a man or woman among you until you believe in Allah and his Messenger.” As a result, every man and woman among the Banu ‘Abd al-Ashhal embraced Islam. Mus’ab then returned to the house of As’ad ibn Zurarah and he stayed with him as a guest, and he continued to call the people to Islam until almost every household of the Ansar had Muslim men and women among them. Mus’ab ibn ‘Umayr remained in Madinah for one year among the ‘Aus and the Khazraj teaching them their Deen and witnessing, with great delight, the growing number of the helpers of Allah’s authority and of the word of truth. .
他——愿真主喜悦他——常常敲人家的门,希望与人接触,传达真主的讯息。他会走到田间,与农夫接触,召唤他们归信伊斯兰。他也会去面对那些领袖,召唤他们遵从真主的宗教。他还会采取一些经过考虑的策略,比如他与阿斯阿德·本·祖拉拉之间的做法,以此获得接近人们的机会,让人们接受真理的声音。就这样,他在短短一年之内,成功地把麦地那人的思想从败坏的偶像崇拜和错误的情感,转向独一认主与信仰,转向厌恶以物配主、远离欺诈、作弊等恶行及其他罪恶的伊斯兰情感。由于穆S'阿布的工作,以及皈依伊斯兰者的努力,麦地那在短短一年之内,从一个行以物配主的民族,转变为一个归信伊斯兰的民族。
He, may Allah be pleased with him, used to knock on people’s doors hoping to contact them and convey the Message of Allah. He used to walk to the fields and contact the farmers to call them to Islam. He also used to confront the leaders and call them to the Deen of Allah. He would also perform some deliberate tactics like the one he used with As’ad ibn Zurarah in order to gain access to people and get them to receive the voice of Truth until he managed in one single year to turn the thoughts in Madinah from corrupted idolatry and incorrect emotions to Tawheed and Iman and Islamic emotions that abhorred Shirk and turned away from evil acts such as cheating and fraud and other vices. As a result of Mus’ab’s activities and the activities of those who embraced Islam, Madinah had been transformed in one single year from a people who committed Shirk to a people who turned to Islam.
