Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَخِي عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ يَلْقَى إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَبَاهُ آزَرَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَعَلَى وَجْهِ آزَرَ قَتَرَةٌ وَغَبَرَةٌ، فَيَقُولُ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَلَمْ أَقُلْ لَكَ لاَ تَعْصِنِي فَيَقُولُ أَبُوهُ فَالْيَوْمَ لاَ أَعْصِيكَ‏.‏ فَيَقُولُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ يَا رَبِّ، إِنَّكَ وَعَدْتَنِي أَنْ لاَ تُخْزِيَنِي يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ، فَأَىُّ خِزْىٍ أَخْزَى مِنْ أَبِي الأَبْعَدِ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِنِّي حَرَّمْتُ الْجَنَّةَ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ، ثُمَّ يُقَالُ يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ مَا تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْكَ فَيَنْظُرُ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِذِيخٍ مُلْتَطِخٍ، فَيُؤْخَذُ بِقَوَائِمِهِ فَيُلْقَى فِي النَّارِ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Ismaʿil ibn ʿAbd Allah said: My brother ʿAbd al-Hamid informed me, from Ibn Abi Dhiʾb, from Saʿid al-Maqburi, from Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: ‘On the Day of Resurrection, Ibrahim will meet his father Azar, whose face will be covered in gloom and dust. Ibrahim will say to him, “Did I not tell you not to disobey me?” His father will say, “Today I will not disobey you.” Ibrahim will say, “My Lord, You promised me that You would not disgrace me on the Day they are resurrected. What disgrace is greater than my father being far removed?” Allah Most High will say, “I have forbidden Paradise to the disbelievers.” Then it will be said, “Ibrahim, what is beneath your feet?” He will look and see a filthy ذيخ. It will be seized by its legs and cast into the Fire.’

Translation notes
  • Retained ذيخ as an unidentified animal term from the Arabic rather than importing the English witness’s gloss; translated الأبعد as ‘far removed.’
