Lying on Fasting: consequences

Lying on Fasting: consequences

 

 

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Whoever does not give up false speech and acting upon it and ignorant conduct, Allaah has no need of his giving up his food and drink.”  Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6057.

 

It was narrated by al-Tabaraani in al-Mu’jam al-Sagheer and al-Mu’jam al-Awsat with the wording: “Whoever does not give up obscene talk and lying, Allaah has no need of his giving up his food and drink.” Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb wa’l-Tarheeb.

 

It says in al-‘Awn al-Ma’bood: “If he does not give up” means, if he does not refrain from. “False speech” means lying. “Allaah has no need” –

 

Ibn Battaal said: This does not mean that he is enjoined to stop fasting, rather what it means is a warning against false speech and the other things mentioned.

 

Ibn al-Muneer said: Rather it is an indication that it will not be accepted.

 

Ibn al-‘Arabi said: What this hadeeth means is that he will not be rewarded for his fasting …

 

This hadeeth was quoted as evidence to show that that these actions detract from the reward of fasting.

 

 لقول النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم : ( مَنْ لَمْ يَدَعْ قَوْلَ الزُّورِ وَالْعَمَلَ بِهِ وَالْجَهْلَ فَلَيْسَ لِلَّهِ حَاجَةٌ أَنْ يَدَعَ طَعَامَهُ وَشَرَابَهُ ) رواه البخاري (6057).

 

ورواه الطبراني في معجمه الصغير والأوسط بلفظ : ( من لم يدع الخنا والكذب فلا حاجة لله أن يدع طعامه وشرابه ) وحسنه الألباني في صحيح الترغيب والترهيب .

 

قال في عون المعبود : " ( لَمْ يَدَعْ ) : أَيْ لَمْ يَتْرُك ( قَوْل الزُّور ) : وَالْمُرَاد مِنْهُ الْكَذِب ( فَلَيْسَ لِلَّهِ حَاجَة ) : قَالَ اِبْن بَطَّال : لَيْسَ مَعْنَاهُ أَنَّهُ يُؤْمَر بِأَنْ يَدَع صِيَامه وَإِنَّمَا مَعْنَاهُ التَّحْذِير مِنْ قَوْل الزُّور وَمَا ذُكِرَ مَعَهُ ... وَقَالَ اِبْن الْمُنِير : بَلْ هُوَ كِنَايَة عَنْ عَدَم الْقَبُول. وَقَالَ اِبْن الْعَرَبِيّ : مُقْتَضَى هَذَا الْحَدِيث أَنْ لا يُثَاب عَلَى صِيَامه ..........وَاسْتُدِلَّ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيث عَلَى أَنَّ هَذِهِ الأَفْعَال تُنْقِص ثَوَاب الصَّوْم "
