Hazrat Rabee’ bin Khusaym  (رحمہ اللہ تعالی)

Aye abu yazeed! Agar tujhe Rasool ﷺ dekh lete to zarur tujh se pyar karte. ( عبد اللہ بن مسعود رضی اللہ عنہ )

Hazrat Hilal bin Asaaf (رحمہ اللہ) ne apne mehman Munzir bin Ya’ala Suari (رحمہ اللہ) se kaha: Kya main apko Sheikh Rabee’ bin Khusaym ki ziyarat ke liye na le chaloon?

Taake chand ghadi un se Imaan-o-Yaqeen ki baatein hon. Munzir (رحمہ اللہ) ne kaha kyun nahi! Zarur chalein. Main Koofah aya hi is liye hoon taake apke mohtaram Sheikh Rabee’ bin Khusaym ki ziyarat kar sakun aur kuch arsah Imaan-o-Yaqeen ke dilawaiz mahaul mein guzarne ki sa’adat hasil ho sake lekin kya hamein ziyarat ki ijazat bhi mil sakegi? Kyunke mujhe pata chala hai ke jab se un peh faalij ka hamla hua hai woh apne ghar ke hi hokar reh gaye hain, Hamesha wahin Yaad-e-Ilaahi mein masroof rehte hain aur logon se mulaqat mein qadre dilchaspi nahi rakhte.

Hilaal bin Asaaf (رحمہ اللہ) bole: Baat to apki durust hai jab se woh Koofah mein farokash huye hain unka Tarz-e-Amal aisa hi dekhne mein aya hai. Lekin beemari ne chandaan koi tabdeeli paida nahi ki hai. Hazrat Munzir (رحمہ اللہ) ne kaha: To phir unke paas jane mein koi harj nahi lekin apko maloom hona chahiye in mashayekh ke mijaaz bade hi Naram-o-Naazuk hua karte hain, Apki raye kya hai ke Dauran-e-Mulaqat hum Sheikh se sawalat karen ya khamoshi se baithen aur woh jo apni marzi se baat karen wahi sunen?

Hazrat Hilal bin Asaaf (رحمہ اللہ) bole:

Agar aap Rabee’ bin Khusaym (رحمہ اللہ) ke paas mukammal  aik saal tak bhi baithtey rahen woh nahi bolenge jab tak tum khud unse baat nahi karoge, Woh qat’an guftagu mein pehel nahi karenge kyun ke unka kalaam Zikar-e-Ilaahi par mushtamil hota hai aur khamoshi Ghaur-o-Fikr par mabni hoti hai. Hazrat Munzir (رحمہ اللہ) ne kaha phir aiyye Allah ka naam lekar unke paas chalte hain. Dono Sheikh ke paas gaye, Salam arz ki aur poocha janab Sheikh kya haal hai?

Farmaya: Haal kya poochte ho aisa natawaan, Kamzor aur gunahgaar hun jo apne Allah ka rizq khata hun aur apni maut ka muntazir hun, Hazrat Hilal (رحمہ اللہ) bole: Koofah mein aik maahir Tabeeb aaya hai, Ijaazat ho to ilaj ke liye bula len?

Farmaya: Hilal (رحمہ اللہ)! main janta hun ke dawaa barhaq hai, Ilaj karana sunnat hai, Lekin maine Aad, Samood, Ashaab-e-Ras aur unke darmiyan  aane wali qaumon ke halaat ka baghor jayezah liya hai. Maine duniya mein un aqwam ke lalach aur duniyavi Saaz-o-Samaan mein unki hareesanah dilchaspi ko dekha hai, Woh hum se zyadah taqatwar aur Saahib-e-Haisiyat thay un mein maahir At’baa bhi maujood thay. Woh log beemar bhi hote thay. Ab dekhiye! Na koi moallij raha na koi mareez, Sab fanaa ho gaye, Unka Naam-o-Nishaan na rha phir gehri aur lambi soch ke baad farmaya: Haan aik beemari aisi zarur hai jiska ilaj zarur karwana chahiye. Hazrat Munzir (رحمہ اللہ) ne moaddebanah andaz mein poocha: Woh kaunsi beemari hai?

Farrmaya: Is roohani beemari ka naam hai “Gunah”.

Poocha: Uska ilaj kis dawaa se kiya jaye?

Farrmaya: Astaghfar se. Hazrat Munzir (رحمہ اللہ) ne poocha shifaa kaise hogi?

Farmaya: Aisi sachi tauba ki jaye ke woh phir gunah dubarah na ho. Phir hamari taraf ghaur se dekha aur bade zordar andaz mein farmaya: Posheedah andaz mein kiye gaye gunah logon ki nazron se to makhfi rehte hain lekin Allah ta’ala ke samne to woh zahiri hote hain, Kyun ki uske samne to koi cheez makhfi nahi, Who Allam ul Guyoob (علام الغیوب) hai, Woh seenon key bhed khoob achhi tarah janta hai. Chup kar gunah karna aik khatarnaak roohani bemari hai. Iski dawaa talash karo. Hazrat Munzir (رحمہ اللہ) ne poocha: Aap khud hi bata dijiye iski dawaa kya hai?

Farmaya: Khaalis aur sachhi taubah hai, Jise ‘Taubatun Nasuh’ kehte hain, Phir Zaar-o-Qataar rone lage yahan tak ke unki daadhi mubarak aansuon se bheeg gayi.

Hazrat Munzir (رحمہ اللہ) ye ajeeb munzir dekh kar kaha: Mohtaram bada taajjub hai aap ro rahe hain? halaanke apki Ibaadat, Taqwa, Khashiyat aur Ikhlaas ka har taraf charcha hai.

Farmaya: Sad afsos! haaye gham!

Bhala main kyun na roun? Main ne Bachashm-e-Khud aisi azeem qaum ko dekha hai ke hum unke muqabley mein baune nazar aate hain. Yaani Sahabah karaam رضوان اللہ علیہم اجمعین ki muqaddas jamaat.

Hazrat Hilal (رحمہ اللہ) bayan karte hain keh hum baithay Sheikh mohtaram se baatein kar rahe thay, Itne mein unka beta andar aaya, Pahle usne adab se salam kiya phir kaha:

Abba jaan! Ammi ne apke liye bohat umdah meetha aur lazeez pakwan tayyar kiya, Unki dili khuwahish hai ke aap is mein se kuch zarur tanawul karen. Ijazat ho to main le aaun? Farmaya: Le aao. Jab beta woh umdah pakwan laane ke liye kamre se bahir nikla to aik sawali ne darwazah khatkhatayaa, Apne kaha usey andar bula lo. Main ne dekha ke aik paragaanda haal, Budha aadmi phate purane kapde pehne, Jhoomta hua andar aa rha hai aur uske munh se raalein tapak rahi hain, Chehry mohry se woh majzoob nazar aa raha tha. Woh sehen mein khada ho gaya. Main abhi Hairat-o-Istejaab mein dooba hua us bechare ko dekh rha tha itne mein Sheikh ka beta aik bade thaal mein meetha pakwan le aaya. Sheikh ne apne bete se kaha yeh thaal is sawali majzoob ke samne rakh do. Usne hukm ki tameel karte huye thaal uske samne rakh diya to woh shakhs us par toot pada, Haalat yeh thi ke uski raalein khane par gir rahi thin aur badastoor khane mein juta hua tha yahan tak ke woh thaal ko chat kar gaya. Bete ne bari afsurdagi se kaha: Abba jaan, Allah ki by’panah rehmatein aap par nazil hon, Ammi ne to bade jatan se ye pakwan apke liye tayyar kiya tha, Hamari dili khuwahish thi ke aap tanawul karte, Lekin aapne aik aise shakhs ko ye khila diya jise itna bhi pata nahi ke usne kya khaya aur uska maza kya tha.

Sheikh ne farmaya: Beta agar yeh shakhs nahi jaanta to kya hua hamara parwardigaar Allah to jaanta hai, Phir Qur’an  majeed ki yeh ayat tilawat ki:

لَنْ تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتّٰى تُنْفِقُوْا مِمَّا تُحِبُّوْنَ ڛ)آل عمران: 92)

Yeh baatein ho rahi thin ke Sheikh ka aik qareebi rishtedaar aaya aur usne ye andohanaak khabar di ke Hazrat Hussain (رضی اللہ عنہ) ko Maidan-e-Karbala mein shaheed kar diya gaya hai. Sheikh ne yeh gham naak khabar sun kar kaha:  انا للہ وانا الیہ راجعون  Aur sath Qur’an majeed ki yeh ayat padhi:

قُلِ اللّٰهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ عٰلِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ اَنْتَ تَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ فِيْ مَا كَانُوْا فِيْهِ يَخْتَلِفُوْنَ  

(الزمر: 46)

Sheikh ki zuban mubarak se sirf itni si baat sun kar tasalli na hui to usne daryaft kiya: Hazrat Hussain (رضی اللہ عنہ) ki shahadat ke baare mein apki kya raaye hai?

Farmaya: Un sab ko Allah hi ki taraf lautna hai aur wahi unka hisaab lega.

Hazrat Hilal (رحمہ اللہ) farmate hain: Main ne dekha ke zuhar ka waqt qareeb aa raha hai silsalah-e-Kalam munqataa ho jayega, Maine arz kiya: Janab mujhe koi naseehat kijiye.

Aap ne farmaya:  Aye Hilal logon ke munh se apni tareef sun kar kahin dhokha na kha jana. Log to sirf tere zaahir ko dekhte hain, Tere batin ka inko kya ilm? Dekho meri yeh baat palle baandh lo, Tum apne aamaal ki janib rawan dawan raho aur har woh amal jo Allah ki raza ke liye na kiya jaye woh bekar hai who akaarat  jayega, Uski koi Qadr-o-Qeemat nahi.

Hazrat Munzir (رحمہ اللہ) ne kaha: Mujhe bhi koi naseehat kijiye Allah aapko jazaye khair ata kare.

Farmaya: Apne ilm ke mutabiq Allah se daro. Jis cheez ka tujhe ilm na ho usey kisi Aalim  ke supurd karo aur khud bhi usi ki taraf ruju karo.

Aye Munzir kabhi aisa na kehna ke Allah ki taraf ruju karta hun. Agar ruju na kiya yeh jhooth likha jayega. Balke hamesha yeh dua karo. Aye Allah meri taraf ruju farma, Main Darmandah-o-Bekas hun, Mujhy maaf kardy aur is tarha kabhi jhota na ho ga.

Aye Munzir! Khoob achhi tarah jaan lo: Insani guftagu mein لا الہ الا الله  ،الحمد للہ، الله اکبر,  سبحان الله khair ki talab, Shar se panaah, Neki ka hukm, Burayi se rokne aur Qur’an  majeed ki tilawat ke ilawah kisi aur baat mein Khair-o-Barkat nahi hai. Deen ki baat karo warna khamosh hi raho.

Hazrat Munzir  (رحمہ اللہ) bole: Janab hum itni der apke paas baithay, aapki qeemti baton aur dilpazeer naseehaton se faizyaab huye. Lekin aap ne apni guftagu ke dauran koi shayr nahi padha halaanke aapke ham’Asar bataur istadlaal guftagu ke dauran shayr padhte hain. Iski kya wajah hai?

Sheikh ne farmaya: Jo bhi is duniya mein kaha jata hai usey fauran likh liya jata hai aur woh qayamat ke din padh kar sunaya jayega, Main nahi chahta ke mere naama amaal mein koi shayr likha jaye aur qayamat ke din woh mujhe padh kar sunaya jaye.

Phir farmaya: Suno! Apni maut ko kasrat se yaad kiya karo. Woh Pardah-e-Ghaib mein hardam tumhari muntazir hai, Jab nazr se ujhal kisi piyare ki ghair hazri taweel ho jati hai to uska wapis lautna qareeb ho jata hai aur ghar waly hardam uski raahein takte rehte hain, Yeh keh kar woh itna roye ke aansuon ki jhadi lag gayi, Phir farmaya: Kal jab shadeed zalzala mein zameen ko reza reza kar diya jayega, Parwardigaar Ghaiz-o-Ghazab mein hoga, Farishte saff baandhe khade honge, Aur jahannam ko la hazir kiya jayega. Batao phir hum kya kar sakenge?

Hazrat Munzir (رحمہ اللہ) bayan karte hain ke jab Sheikh rabee (رحمہ اللہ) ne baat khatam ki idhr Zuhar ki azaan hone lagi, Bete se kaha aao chalein Allah ka bulawa aa gaya hai, Bete ne hum se kaha abba ji ko sahara dene mein mera sath dijiye, Dain taraf se bete ne sahara diya aur bayen taraf se main ne aur hum unhe lekar masjid ki taraf chale, Haalat yeh thi ke Sheikh ke donon paon zameen mein ghaseetey ja rahe thay. Hazrat Munzir (رحمہ اللہ) ne kaha:

Janab Abu Yazeed (رحمہ اللہ) aap mazoor hain, Allah ki taraf se aap ko rukhsat hai. Aap namaz ghar mein hi padh lete! Farmaya: Aap theek kehte hain. Lekin maine moazzan ko yeh kehte huye suna, aao kamyabi ki taraf! Daudo kamraani ki taraf! jo shakhs Kamyaabi-o-Kaamrani ki taraf bulaye uski awaz pe labbaik kehte huye jaana chahiye, Khwah ghutnon ke bal chal kar kyun na jana pade.

kya aapko maloom hai ke Rabee’ bin Khusaym hain kaun?

Yeh Kibaar-e-Taba’een mein se thay. Yeh apne daur mein un aath afraad mein se thay jin mein Zuhd-o-Taqwa intahaa darje ka paaya jata tha. Yeh khaalis Arabi thay, Aur khandani aitebaar se muzar(مضر) peh jaa kar unka silsala nasab nbi akram ﷺ ke sath mil jata tha.

Bachpan se unki tarbiyat Allah ki Ita’at ke mahaul mein hui, Ladakpan taqwa ke mahaul mein guzra, Raat ke waqt unki walidah so jati, Subah uthti to kya dekhti keh uska beta ghar ke aik kone mein hath baandhe khada Allah ta’ala se sargoshiyan karne mein mahw hai, Duniya-o-Mafiha se beniyaz namaz mein mustaghraq hai, Muhabbat-o-Shafqat se bharpoor lehje mein awaz deti, Bete Rabee’ tujhe kya hua? Kya neend nahi aati? Mere pyare bete ab to so jao. Woh jawab dete Amma jaan! Bhala woh shakhs kaise so sakta hai jispe raat ki tareeki cha gayi ho aur usey dushman ke hamle ka andesha ho, Yeh sun kar boodhi Amma ke aansu behne lage aur usne bete ko duyein di.

Jab Hazrat Rabee’ (رحمہ اللہ) jawaan huye to unke sath taqwa bhi ana jawan hua aur Khashiyat-e-Ilaahi ka jazbah bhi isi tarah parwan chadha.

Raat ki tareeki mein jabke log gehri neend soye huye hote thay woh is qadar gidgidaate aur giryah zaari karte keh unki ghighhi band ho jati. Boorhi Amma ko apne laadle bete ki is haalat par taras aane lagta aur Andesha-e-Haye daron mein mubtala ho kar awaz deti: Mere pyare bete maa sadqe! tujhe hua kya hai? Kya koi jurm kar baithe ho? Kya kisi ko qatal kiya hai? Maa ne ghabraahat mein poocha beta mujhe batao maqtool kaun hai? Batao kise qatal kar baithe ho? Taake hum usky wursaa ki Mannat-o-Samaajat karen. Ho sakta hai woh tujhe maaf kar den. Bakhuda agar maqtool ke waaris teri aahon, Siskiyun aur giryah zaariyon ko dekh len mujhe ummeed hai woh tujhe maaf kar denge. Usne kaha: Amma jaan aapne unse baat na karen main ne apne aap ko qatal kiya hai. Maa ne poocha kaise? Farmaya gunahon se apne aap ko qatal kiya hai.

Hazrat Rabee’ bin Khusaym (رحمہ اللہ) Hazrat Abdullah bin Masood (رضی اللہ عنہ) ke Shagird-e-Rasheed thay aur Hazrat Abdullah bin Masood (رضی اللہ عنہ) khoobsoorat aur Shakl-o-Soorat mein tamam Sahabah  se badh kar Rasool-e-Aqdas ﷺ se mushabehat rakhte thay. Hazrat Rabee’ (رحمہ اللہ) ke apne Ustaad Abdullah bin Masood (رضی اللہ عنہ) ke sath Talluqaat-o-Rawabit aise hi thay jaise aik farmabardaar bete ke apne walid se hote hain. Ustaad bhi apne shagird se aise hi pyaar karte jaise baap apne iklaute bete se pyar karta hai. Lihaza Hazrat Rabee’ (رحمہ اللہ) apne Ustaad ke haan bila ijazat aa jaya karte thay, Hazrat Abdullah bin Masood (رضی اللہ عنہ) jab Rabee’ bin Khusaym ke dil ki safayi ikhlaas aur Husn-e-Ibaadat ko dekhte to dil mein hasrat paida hoti. Kaash mera yeh shagird Nabi Akram ﷺ ki zindagi mein hota, Unhen is Taakheer-e-Zamaani ka afsos hota, Yeh farmaya karte thay: Aye Abu Yazeed! agar tujhe رسول اللہ ﷺ Bachashm-e-Khud dekh lete to yaqeenan tujh se mohabbaat karte aur yeh bhi farmaya karte: Aye Rabee’ jab bhi main tujhe dekhta hun mujhe Allah ta’ala ki bargaah mein Khushoo-o-Khuzuu karne wale log yaad aa jate hain.

Is silsile mein Hazrat Abdullah bin Masood (رضی اللہ عنہ) koi mubalghah araayi se kaam nahi lete thay. Balke waaqiya yeh hai ke Hazrat Rabee’ bin Khusaym (رحمہ اللہ) Khashiyat-e-Ilaahi, Taqwa-o-Pakeezgi ke us Aa’la-o-Arfa muqam par fayez thay ke is tabqey mein koi bhi uska saani na tha. Unse is silsile mein aise waqiyaat manqool hain jo hamesha Islami tareekh ke safhaat mein Masl-e-Aftab-o-Mehtab chamakte damakte rahenge. Unka aik mukhlis qareebi saathi bayan karta hai, Main Hazrat Rabee’ bin Khusaym (رحمہ اللہ) ke sath bees (20) saal raha. Main ne use hamesha wahi baat karte suna jise farishte ehteraam se lekar aasman ki taraf chadhte hain phir yeh ayat tilawat ki:

اِلَيْهِ يَصْعَدُ الْكَلِمُ الطَّيِّبُ وَالْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ يَرْفَعُهٗ

Abdul Rehman bin Ajlaan bayan karte hain main aik raat Hazrat Rabee’ (رحمہ اللہ) ke paas soya, Jab unhen yaqeen ho gaya ke main gehri neend so gaya hun unhone namaz padhna shuru kar di aur namaz mein yeh ayat oonchi awaz mein padhne lage:

اَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِيْنَ اجْتَرَحُوا السَّيِّاٰتِ اَنْ نَّجْعَلَهُمْ كَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ ۙ سَوَاۗءً مَّحْيَاهُمْ وَمَمَاتُهُمْ ۭ سَاۗءَ مَا يَحْكُمُوْنَ        21؀ۧ

Tarjumah: “Woh log gumaan karte hain jinhone gunah kiye ke hum unko bana denge in logon jaisa jo Imaan laye aur nek amal kiye. Barabar hai inka jeena marna. Bohat bura hai jo woh kehte hain.”

Woh raat bhar namaz mein baar baar yahi ayat padhte rahe aur Zaar-o-Qatar rote rahe.

Hazrat Rabee’ (رحمہ اللہ) ke Khauf-e-Khuda aur Khashiyat-e-Ilaahi ke mutalliq bhi bohat se waqeyaat mashhoor hain, Un mein se aik dard angaiz yeh waaqiya unke qareebi saathiyon ne bayan kiya. Farmaate hain ke hum Darya-e-Faraat ke kinaare par pohnche, Wahan aik jalti hui lohe ki bhatti ko dekha jis mein se aag ke shararey ooper uthh rahe thay, Aag mein tezi paida karne ke liye patthar ka koila us mein istemaal kiya ja raha tha, Jab Hazrat Rabee’ ne aag ka yeh manzar dekha to wahin theher gaye, Jism mein larzah taari ho gaya. Is tarah kapkapaaye ke hum ghabraagaye. Is manzar se mutaasir ho kar woh Qur’an majeed ki yeh ayat padhne  lage:

اِذَا رَاَتْهُمْ مِّنْ مَّكَانٍۢ بَعِيْدٍ سَمِعُوْا لَهَا تَغَيُّظًا وَّزَفِيْرًا 12؀وَاِذَآ اُلْقُوْا مِنْهَا مَكَانًا ضَيِّقًا مُّقَرَّنِيْنَ دَعَوْا هُنَالِكَ ثُبُوْرًا 13۝ۭ

Padhte padhte ghashi kha kar gir pade, Hosh aane tak hum wahin baithey rahe, Phir hum ne unhe ghar pohchaya.

Hazrat Rabee’ bin Khusaym (رحمہ اللہ) ne apni poori zindagi maut ke intezaar mein guzar di, Aur Allah ta’ala se mulaqat ke liye hama dam tayyar rahe, Jab maut ka waqt qareeb aaya unki beti aah zaari karne lagi, Isey rota dekh kar farmaya: Chup karo beta roti kyun ho? Tere baap ko to bohat behtar cheez mil rahi hai, Phir unki rooh Qafas-e-Unsari se parwaaz kar gayi.

Hazrat Rabee’ bin Khusaym (رحمہ اللہ) ke liye mufassal Halat-e-Zindagi maloom karne ke liye darj zail kitaabon ka muta’ala  kijiye:
