Wallahi – akipenda Mwenyezi Mungu - sitokula kiapo cha jambo fulani isipokuwa ninapoona kilichobora zaidi basi huwa ninatoa kafara ya kiapo changu kisha ninafanya lililo bora zaidi.”

Kiarabu

عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي رَهْطٍ مِنَ الأَشْعَرِيِّينَ أَسْتَحْمِلُهُ، فَقَالَ: «وَاللَّهِ لاَ أَحْمِلُكُمْ، مَا عِنْدِي مَا أَحْمِلُكُمْ» ثُمَّ لَبِثْنَا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَأُتِيَ بِإِبِلٍ، فَأَمَرَ لَنَا بِثَلاَثَةِ ذَوْدٍ، فَلَمَّا انْطَلَقْنَا قَالَ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ: لاَ يُبَارِكُ اللَّهُ لَنَا، أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَسْتَحْمِلُهُ فَحَلَفَ أَنْ لاَ يَحْمِلَنَا فَحَمَلَنَا، فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى: فَأَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: «مَا أَنَا حَمَلْتُكُمْ، بَلِ اللَّهُ حَمَلَكُمْ، إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ -إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ- لا أَحْلِفُ عَلَى يَمِينٍ، فَأَرَى غَيْرَهَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا، إِلَّا كَفَّرْتُ عَنْ يَمِينِي، وَأَتَيْتُ الَّذِي هُوَ خَيْرٌ».

Tafsiri ya Kiswahili

Kutoka kwa Abuu Musa Al-Ash'ary radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake amesema: Nilikuja kwa Mtume wa Mwenyezi Mungu rehema na amani ziwe juu yake nikiwa na kundi la Ash’ari ili kumuomba atuchukue, akasema: “Wallahi sitokuwa na chochote cha kukubebeni ” Kisha tukakaa muda kidogo aliopenda Mwenyezi Mungu tukae, tukaletewa ngamia, akaamrisha tupewe wanyama watatu kwa ajili yetu, tulipoondoka wakasema baadhi yetu kuwaambia wengine: Mwenyezi Mungu hatotubariki, tumemuendea Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake tukamuomba atubebe katika vipando lakini akaapa kuwa hatotubeba, kisha akatubeba, akasema Abuu Musa: Basi tukaja kwa Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake tukamueleza hilo, akasema: “Si mimi niliyekubebeni, bali Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye aliyekubebeni Wallahi – akipenda Mwenyezi Mungu - sitokula kiapo cha jambo fulani isipokuwa ninapoona kilichobora zaidi basi huwa ninatoa kafara ya kiapo changu kisha ninafanya lililo bora zaidi.”

English translation

Abu Mūsa al-Ash‘ari (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I went to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) along with a group of Ash‘ari people, asking him for mounts. He said: "By Allah, I will not give you anything to ride, and I have nothing to mount you on." We stayed there as long as Allah wished. Then some camels were brought to him, and he ordered that we be given three camels. When we set out, some of us said to others: "Allah will not bless us, as we all went to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) asking him for mounts, and although he had sworn that he would not give us mounts, he did give us." Abu Mūsa said: We went to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned that to him. He said: "I have not provided you with mounts, but Allah has. By Allah, Allah Willing, if I ever take an oath and then see that another option is better than the first, I will make expiation for my oath and do what is better."

Maelezo

Anasimulia Abuu Musa Al-Ash’ari radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake kuwa, alikuja kwa Mtume wa Mwenyezi Mungu rehema na amani ziwe juu yake akiwa na kundi la kabila lake, na makusudio yao yalikuwa kwa Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake, ili awape ngamia wapande, ili kuweza kushiriki katika jihadi, aliapa rehema na amani ziwe juu yake kuwa hatowabeba, na hakuwa hana chochote cha kuwabeba, basi wakarudi na kukaa kwa muda, kisha wakaletewa ngamia watatu kwa Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake akawatumia wale mabwana, baadhi yao wakaambiana: Mwenyezi Mungu asitubariki kwa ngamia hawa; Kwa sababu Mtume rehema na amani ziwe juu yake aliapa kutotubeba, basi wakamjia na wakamuuliza, akasema rehema na amani ziwe juu yake: Aliyekubebeni ni Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu; Kwa sababu yeye ndiye aliyetoa ufanikishaji na akaruzuku, lakini mimi ni sababu ya haya kutokea kupitia mikono yangu, kisha akasema rehema na amani ziwe juu yake: Wallahi, akipenda Mwenyezi Mungu, sitaapa kufanya au kuacha chochote, na nikaona kuwa kisichokuwa kiapo hicho ni heri na bora zaidi, isipokuwa nitafanya lililo bora zaidi, na kuyaacha niliyoapa, na ninalipa kafara ya kiapo changu.

Faida

• Inafaa kuapa bila kutakwa kuapa; ili kuitia mkazo habari hata kama ni ya jambo la baadae.
• Inajuzu kutojipa uhakika kwa kusema “Mwenyezi Mungu akipenda” baada ya kiapo, ikiwa kutafanywa kwa nia na kiapo na kukaunganishwa nacho, basi kafara haitohitajika kwa mwenye kuvunja kiapo chake.
• Himizo la kuvunja kiapo ikiwa ataona jambo bora kuliko hilo, na atatoa kafara ya kiapo chake.
