Al-Majalis bil-Amana Hadith

Alhumdillah I have the honor to teach the hadith of Rasul Allah Sallalahu alaihe wa sallaam. I have made this interactive activity where the students of hadith can learn short hadith.

Here is a short hadith from the book Zad at Talibeen.

Al-Majalis bil-Amana Hadith

الْمَجَالِسُ بِالأَمَانَةِ

It can be translated as Gatherings are to be kept in confidence or Gatherings are a trust

مجالس (majaalis) is the broken plural for مجلس (majlis) which comes from the root جلس (jalasa), meaning “to sit”. Basically, a majlis is any sort of a sitting with two or more people.

An أمَانَة (amaanah) is a trust, and it comes from the root امن (amuna) which means “to be faithful, reliable, trustworthy, to be safe, to feel safe”. Other words from this root include آمين (aameen, related to the English word amen), and مؤمن (mu’min) which means a believer.

The Hadith “Al-Majlis bil-Amanat” conveys the ethical principle that participants in a meeting are bound by a sacred duty to keep the discussions and anything shared within the meeting confidential. It is a call for trustworthiness and discretion in social and religious settings. 


It is extracted from this hadith :

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Meetings are confidential except three: those for the purpose of shedding blood unlawfully, or committing fornication, or acquiring property unjustly.

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَخِي، جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ “‏ الْمَجَالِسُ بِالأَمَانَةِ إِلاَّ ثَلاَثَةَ مَجَالِسَ سَفْكُ دَمٍ حَرَامٍ أَوْ فَرْجٌ حَرَامٌ أَوِ اقْتِطَاعُ مَالٍ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ ‏”‏ ‏.‏
