ف: اس حدیث میں سائل سے جس گناہ کے سرزد ہونے کا ذکر ہے، انہوں نے اس کو اپنے خیال میں گناہ کبیرہ سمجھا اور اسی خیال میں حضور صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے عرض کیا کہ اس گناہ کی پاداش میں حد جاری کر دی جائے، لیکن حضور صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے بذریعہ وحی معلوم فرما لیا کہ وہ گناہ ایسا نہیں ہے کہ جس پر حد جاری کی جائے اسی بناء پر آنحضرت صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے حکم صادر فرمایا کہ وہ گناہ نماز باجماعت ادا کرنے کی وجہ سے معاف ہو گیا ہے، اس لئے اب حد جاری کرنے کی ضرورت باقی نہیں رہی۔ (یہ لمعات سے ماخوذ ہے۔12)

ف: عبادہ بن صامت رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ کی مذکورہ حدیث نمبر (20) اس بات پر دلیل ہے کہ تارک صلوٰۃ اس لئے کافر نہیں قرار دیا جا سکتا کہ وہ منکر صلوٰۃ نہیں۔ اس حدیث میں تارک صلوٰۃ کی وعید پر ارشاد ہے ”اِنْ شَاءَ غَفَرَ لَهُ وَ اِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُ“ (اللہ تعالیٰ چاہیں تو اس کی مغفرت فرما دیں اور چاہیں تو اس کو عذاب دیں) ان الفاظ سے بخوبی ظاہر ہو رہا ہے کہ اللہ تعالیٰ چاہیں تو تارک صلوٰۃ کی مغفرت فرما دیں گے اگر تارک صلوٰۃ کافر ہوتا تو کسی حال میں بھی اس کی مغفرت نہیں ہو سکتی اس لئے بعض صحابہ رضی اللہ عنہم سے مروی ہے کہ تارک صلوٰۃ کافر نہیں ہوتا بلکہ کفر کے قریب پہنچ جاتا ہے اسی بناء پر اس باب میں اس مضمون کی جو حدیثیں موجود ہیں اور ان میں ”فَقَدْ كَفَرَ اور فَقَدْ اَشْرَكَ“ کے الفاظ ہیں ان کا ترجمہ کفر سے قریب پہنچ جانے اور شرک سے قریب پہنچ جانے سے کیا گیا ہے اور یہی وجہ ہے کہ مذہب حنفی میں تارک صلوٰۃ کو قتل نہیں کیا جاتا بلکہ اس کو زدوکوب کر کے قید میں رکھا جاتا ہے تا کہ وہ توبہ کر کے نماز کا عادی بن جائے۔ (اشعۃ اللمعات)12۔

ف: واضح ہو کہ منافقین نماز کے پڑھنے، جماعت میں حاضر ہونے اور اسلام کے ظاہری احکام کی تابعداری کرنے کی وجہ سے مسلمانوں سے مشابہت رکھتے ہیں اسی لئے منافقین کو امن دیا جاتا ہے کہ ان کو قتل نہیں کیا جاتا اور ان پر احکام اسلام جاری ہوتے ہیں تو جس نے نماز جیسی عمدہ ترین عبادت چھوڑ دی تو اس کا کفر و نفاق ظاہر ہو گیا اور وہ جن رعایتوں کا مستحق تھا اس کا یہ استحقاق باقی نہ رہا۔12
