الدِّينُ يُسْرٌ

The religion is ease

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِنَّ الدِّينَ يُسْرٌ، وَلَنْ يُشَادَّ الدِّينَ أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ غَلَبَهُ، فَسَدِّدُوا وَقَارِبُوا وَأَبْشِرُوا، وَاسْتَعِينُوا بِالْغَدْوَةِ وَالرَّوْحَةِ وَشَىْءٍ مِنَ الدُّلْجَةِ ".

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ السَّلاَمِ بْنُ مُطَهَّرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ مَعْنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْغِفَارِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،

Translation

Abu Hurairah reported: The Prophet ﷺ said, “The religion is ease, and no one overburdens himself in the religion except that it overpowers him. So keep to what is right, come as close to it as you can, be of good cheer, and seek help in the early morning, the late afternoon and a part of the night.”

Translator’s note: The image is of a traveller who journeys in the early morning, the late afternoon and part of the night.

Abu Huraira berichtete: Der Prophet ﷺ sagte: „Die Religion ist leicht, und niemand übertreibt es mit der Religion, ohne dass sie ihn überwältigt. So haltet euch an das Richtige, nähert euch ihm an und seid guter Dinge, und nehmt euch zur Hilfe den frühen Morgen, den späten Nachmittag und einen Teil der Nacht.“

Translator’s note: Bild des Reisenden, der am frühen Morgen, am späten Nachmittag und in einem Teil der Nacht unterwegs ist.

Türkçe

Ebû Hüreyre (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Nebî ﷺ şöyle buyurdu: “Din kolaylıktır. Hiç kimse dinde aşırılığa gitmez ki din ona galip gelmesin. Öyleyse doğru olanı yapın, ona yaklaşın, müjdelenin; sabahın erken vaktinden, akşamüstünden ve gecenin bir kısmından yardım alın.”

Translator’s note: Sabah erkenden, akşamüstü ve gecenin bir kısmında yol alan yolcu benzetmesidir.
