KEJUJURAN SANG PENDUSTA

Ketika kami sedang bersama Rasulullah SAW di kediaman seorang sahabat anshar, tiba-tiba terdengar panggilan seseorang dari luar rumah,

“ Wahai penghuni rumah, bolehkah aku masuk? Sebab kalian akan membutuhkanku? ”

Rasulullah bersabda, “ Tahukah kalian siapa yang meamnggil? ”

Kami  menjawab, “ Allah dan Rasulnya yang lebih tahu “

Umar bin Khattab berkata, “ Ijinkan aku membunuhnya wahai Rasulullah “

Nabi menahannya, “ Sabar wahai umar, bukankah kamu tahu allah memberinya kesempatan sampai hari kiamat? Lebih baik bukakan pintu untuknya, sebab dia telah diperintahkan oleh Allah untuk ini, pahamilah apa yang hendak ia katakan dan dengarkan dengan baik.”

Ibnu Abbas RA membuka pintu , ternyata dia seperti seorang kakek yang cacat satu matanya, di janggutnya terdapat 7 helai rambut seperti rambut kuda, taringnya terlihat seperti taring babi dan bibirnya seperti bibir sapi.

Iblis menjawab, “ Salam untukmu Muhammad ... Salam untukmu para hadirin ... “

Rasulullah menjawab, “ Salam hanya milih Allah SWT, sebagai makhluk terlaknat, apa keperluanmu?“

Iblis menjawab, “ Wahai Muhammad, aku datang kesini bukan atas kemauanku namun karena terpaksa”

“ Siapa yang memaksamu?”

“ Seorang malaikat utusan Allah SWT telah mensatangiku dan berkata, “ Allah SWT telah memerintahkanmu untuk mendatangi Muhammad sambil menundukkan diri. Beritahu Muhammad tentang caramu menggoda manusia, jawablah denganjujur semua pertanyaanya. Demi kebesaran Allah SWT andai kau berdusta satu kali saja, maka Allah akan jadikan dirimu debu yang ditiup angin”, oleh karena itu aku sekarang  mendatangimu, tanyalah apa yang hendak kau tanyakan. Jika aku berdusta, aku akan dicaci oleh setiap musuhku, tidak ada sesuatupun yang paling besar menimpaku daripada cacian musuh. “

“ Kalau kau benar jujur, siapakah manusia yang paling kau benci? “

“ Manusia yang paling aku benci adalah Kamu, Kamu dan orang sepertimu “

“ Siapa selanjutnya? ”

“ Pemuda yang bertakwa yang memberikan dirinya mengabdi kepada Allah SWT , orang alim dan wara’ (loyal), orang yang selalu bersuci, seorang fakir yang sabar dan tidak pernah mengeluhkan kesulitannya kepada orang lain”

“ Apa tanda kesabarannya? ”

“ Wahai Muhammad, jika ia tidak mengeluhkan kesulitannya kepada orang lain selama 3 hari. Allah akan memberi pahala terhadap orang-orang yang sabar ”

“ selanjutnya apa? ”

“ Orang kaya yang bersyukur ”

“ Apa tanda kesyukurannya? ”

“ Ia mengambil kekayaannya dari tempatnya dan mengeluarkan juga dari tempatnya ”

“ Apa yang kau rasakan jika melihat seseorang dari umatku yang hendak sholat? ”

“  Aku merasa dingin dan gemetar ”

“ Kenapa? ”

“ Karena setiap seorang hamba bersujud 1 kali kepada Allah, Allah mengangkatnya 1 derajat ”

“ Jika seseorang umatku berpuasa? ”

“ Tubuhku terasa terikat hingga ia berbuka ”

“ Jika ia berhaji? ”

“ Aku seperti orang gila ”

“ Jika ia membaca Al-Qur’an?  ”

“ Aku merasa meleleh laksana timah diatas api ”

“ Jika ia bersedekah?  ”

“ Itu sama saja orang tersebut memebelah tubuhku dengan gergaji ”

“ Mengapa bisa begitu? ”

“ Sebab dalam sedekah ada 4 keuntungan baginya, yaitu keberkahan dalam hartanya, hidupnya disukai, sedekah itu kelak akan menjadi hijabantara dirinya dengan apai neraka, dan segala macam musibah akan terhalau darinya ”

“ Apa yang dapat mematahkan Pinggangmu? ”

“ Suara kuda perang di jalan Allah ”

“ Apa yang dapat melelehkan tubuhmu? ”

“ Taubat orang yang bertaubat ”

“ Apa yang dapat membakar hatimu? ”

“ Istigfar di waktu siang dan malam ”

“ Apa yang dapat mencoreng wajahmu? ”

“ Sedekah yang diam-diam ”

“ Apa yang dapat menusuk matamu? ”

“ Shalat Fajar ”

“ Apa yang dapat memukul kepalamu? ”

“ Shalat berjamaah ”

“ Apa yang paling mengganggumu? “

“ Majelis para ulama ”

“ Bagaimana cara makanmu? ”

“ Dengan tangan kiri dan jariku ”

“ Dimanakah kau menaungi anak-anakmu dimusim panas?”

“ Di bawah kuku manusia ”

“ Siapa temanmu? ”

“ Pemakan riba ”

“ Siapa Sahabatmu? ”

“ Pezina ”

“ Siapa teman tidurmu? ”

“ Pemabuk ”

“ Siapa tamumu? ”

“ Pencuri ”

“ Apa yang membuatmu gembira? ”

“ Bersumpah dengan cerai ”

“ Siapa manusia yang paling membahagiakanmu? ”

“ Orang yang meninggalkan sholatnya dengan sengaja ”

Rasulullah SAW lalu bersabda, “ Segala puji bagi Allah yang telah membahagiakan umatku dan menyengsarakanmu ”

Iblis menimpali, “ Tidak, tidak ... tak akan ada kebahagiaan selama aku hidup hingga hari akhir, aku akan menyesatkan mereka semua. Baik yang bodoh maupun yang pintar, yang bisa membaca atau tidak, yang durjana dan yang shaleh, kecuali hamba allah yang ikhlas “

“ siapa orang yang ikhlas menurutmu? “

“ Tidakkah kau tahu wahai muhammad, bahwa barang siapa yang menyukai emas dan perak ia bukan orang yang ikhlas, jika kau lihat seseorang tidak menyukai emas atau perak, aku pastikan bahwa ia orang yang ikhlas, maka aku meninggalkannya. Selama seorang hamba masih menyukai harta dan sanjungan dan hatinya selalu terikat dalam kesenangan dunia, ia sangat patuh padaku.”

“ Tahukah kamu Muhammad, bahwa aku mempunyai 70.000 anak, dan setiap anak memiliki 70.000 setan. Sebagian ada yang aku tugaskan untuk mengganggu ulama, sebagian untuk mengganggu anak muda, sebagian untuk mengganggu orang-orang tua, sebagian untuk mengganggu wanita-wanita tua, sebagian anak-anakku juga aku tugaskan kepada para zahid. Aku punya anak yang suka mengencingi telinga manusia sehingga ia tidur pada shalat berjamaah. Tanpanya, manusia tidak akan mengantuk pada waktu sholat berjamaah. “

“Aku punya anak yang suka menaburkan sesuatu di mata orang yang sedang mendengarkan ceramah ulama hingga mereka tertidur dan pahalanya terhapus. Aku punya anak yang senang berada di lidah manusia, jika seseorang melakukan kebajikan lalu ia beberkan kepada manusia, maka 99% pahalanya akan terhapus. Pada setiap seorang wanita yang berjalan, anakku dan setan duduk di pinggul dan pahanya, lalu menghiasinya agar setiap orang memandanginya. Setan juga berkata, “keluarkan tanganmu!” lalu ia mengeluarkan tangannya dan setanpun menghiasi kukunya. Mereka anak-anakku selalu menyusup dan berubah dari satu kondisi ke kondisi yang lain dan dari satu pintu ke pintu lainnya untuk mengganggu manusia sehingga mereka terhempas dari keikhlasan mereka. Akhirnya mereka menyembah Allah tanpa ikhlas, namun mereka tidak merasa ”

“ Tahukah kamu muhammad, bahwa ada rahib yang beribadah kepada Allah selama 70 tahun. Setiap orang sakit yang didoakan olehnya sembuh seketika. Aku terus menggodanya hingga ia berzina, membunuh dan kufur. Tahukah kau Muhammad bahwa dusta berasal dariku? Akulah makhluk pertama yang berdusta. Pendusta adalah sahabatku. Barang siapa yang bersumpah dengan dusta, ia kekasihku. Aku bersumpah kepada Adam dan Hawa dengan nama Allah bahwa aku benar-benar menasehatinya. Sumpah dusta adalah kegemaranku. Ghibah(gosip) dan Namimah(adu domba) adalah kesenanganku. Kesaksian palsu kegembiraanku “

“ Orang yang bersumpah untuk menceraikan istrinya, ia berada di pinggir-pinggir dosa walau hanya sekali dan walaupun ia benar. Sebab barang siapa yang membiasakan dengan kata-kata cerai, istrinya menjadi haram baginya. Kemudian ia akan beranak cucu hingga hari kiamat, jadilah semuanya anak-anak zina dan ia masuk neraka hanya karena satu kalimat, CERAI ! ! ! “

“ Wahai muhammad, umatmu ada yang suka mengulur-ulur waktu sholat, setiap ia hendak berdiri untuk sholat, aku bisikkan padanya, waktu masih lama dan kamu masih sibuk, lalu ia menundanya hingga ia melaksanakan sholat diluar waktunya, maka shalat itu ia pukulkan kemukanya. Jika ia berhasil mengalahkanku, aku biarkan ia sholat namun aku bisikkan ke telinganya, “lihat kiri kananmu!”, ia pun menoleh. Pada saat itu aku usap dengan tanganku dan kucium keningnya serta aku katakan,”SHOLATMU TIDAK SAH”, bukankah kamu tahu Muhammad, orang yang banyak menoleh dalam sholatnya akan dipukul. Jika ia sholat sendirian maka aku suruh ia untuk bergegas, ia pun sholat seperti ayam yang mematuk beras. Jika ia berhasil mengalahkanku, dan ia shalat berjamaah, aku ikat lehernya dengan tali hingga ia mengangkat kepalanya sebelum imam atau meletakkannya sebelum imam. Kamu tahu bahwa melakukan itu batal shalatnya dan wajahnya akan dirubah menjadi wajah keledai. Jika ia berhasil mengalahkanku maka aku tiup hidungnya hingga ia menguap dalam sholat. Jika ia tidak menutup mulutnya ketika ia menguap, setan akan masuk ke dalam dirinya dan membuatnya menjadi bertambah serakah dan gila dunia. Diapun semakin taat padaku! “

“ kebahagiaan apa untukmu, sedang aku memerintahkan orang miskin agar meninggalkan shalat, aku katakan padanya, “kamu tidak wajib sholat, sholat hanya wajib bagi orang yang berkecukupan dan sehat. Orang miskin dan orang sakit tidak. Jika kehidupanmu berubah, barulah kamu shalat”, iapun mati dalam kekafiran. Jika ia mati sambil meninggalkan sholat maka allah akan mememuinya dalam kemungkaran.”

“ Wahai Muhammad, apakah kau akan bergembira dengan umatmu, padahal aku mengeluarkan 1/6 mereka dari islam?”

“ Berapa hal yang kau pinta dari tuhanmu? ”

“10 macam!, aku minta agar Allah membiarkanku berbagi dalam harta dan anak manusia. Harta yang tidak dizakatkan aku makan darinya. Aku juga makan dari makanan haram dan yang bercampur dengan riba. Aku juga makan dari makanan yang tidak dibacakan anama Allah. Aku minta agar Allah membiarkanku ikut bersama orang yang berhubungan dengan istrinya tanpa berlindung dengan Allah, maka setan ikut bersamanya dan anak yang dilahirkan akan sangat patuh kepada setan. Aku minta agar bisa ikut bersama dengan orang yang menaiki kendaraan bukan untuk tujuan yang halal. Aku minta Allah menjadikan kamar mandi sebagai rumahku dan pasar sebagai masjidku serta menjadikan syair(lagu) sebagai Al-Qur’anku. Aku meminta Allah agar menjadikan Pemabuk sebagai teman tidurku. Aku minta agar Allah memberikanku saudara, maka Ia jadikan orang yang membelanjakan hartanya untuk maksiat sebagi saudaraku. Aku meminta agar aku dapat melihat manusia namun mereka tidak dapat melihatku dan aku meminta agar Allah memberiku kemampuan untuk mengalir dalam aliran darah manusia. Allah menjawab, “Silahkan!”, dan aku bangga hal itu hingga hari kiamat ”

“Wahai muhammad aku tidak bisa menyesatkan orang sedikitpun, aku hanya bisa membisikkan dan menggoda. Jika aku bisa menyesatkan, tidak akan tersisa seorangpun!. Sebagaimana dirimu, kamu tidak bisa memberi hidayah sedikitpun. Engkau hanya Rasul yang menyampaikan amanah. Jika kau bisa memberi hidayah, tidak akan ada seorang kafirpun di dinia ini. Kau hanya bisa menjadi penyebab untuk orang yang telah ditentukan sengsara. Orang yang bahagia adalah orang yang telah ditulis bahagia sejak di perut ibunya. Dan orang yang sengsara adalah orang yang telah ditulis sengsara semenjak dalam kandungan ibunya ”

Rasulullah membaca, “ Mereka akan terus berselisih kecuali orang yang dirahmati oleh Allah SWT (QS Hud:118-119)”

“Wahai Muhammad Rasulullah, takdir telah ditentukan dan pena takdir telah kering. Maha Suci Allah yang menjadikanmu pemimpin para Nabi dan Rasul, pemimpin penduduk surga dan yang telah menjadikan aku pemimpin makhluk-makhluk celaka dan pemimpin penduduk neraka. Aku si celaka yang terusir. Ini akhir yang ingin ku sampaikan kepadamu dan AKU TIDAK BERBOHONG!!!”

Mari sejenak kita berfikir akan ribuan dan begitu banyak kelalaian kita. Mungkin itu penyebab dari segala kesulitan ataupun ketidak ridhoan-Nya.

Apakah kita pernah berfikir bahwa...

KEMATIAN itu tak pernah kita duga

Semoga Ridho Allah selalu menyertai langkah kita

Dan kita terus berharap agar...

NAFAS TERAKHIR kita berakhir dengan
