Sunan Ibn Majah 4192 (Book 37, Hadith 93) #33548
The Dangers of Delaying Acceptance of Islam

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of not delaying in accepting Islam and how it can lead to hardening of hearts.

'Amir bin 'Abdullah bin Zubair narrated that his father told him that there was no more than four years between their becoming Muslim and the revelation of this Verse, by which Allah reprimanded them: "Lest they become as those who received the Scripture before, and the term was prolonged for them and so their hearts were hardened? And many of them were rebellious". 57:16
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ الزَّمْعِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، أَنَّ عَامِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ، لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَ إِسْلاَمِهِمْ وَبَيْنَ أَنْ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ يُعَاتِبُهُمُ اللَّهُ بِهَا إِلاَّ أَرْبَعُ سِنِينَ ‏{وَلاَ يَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الأَمَدُ فَقَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَكَثِيرٌ مِنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ}‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of not delaying in accepting Islam. It tells us that if we delay our acceptance of Islam for too long, our hearts may become hardened and we may become rebellious like those who received the scripture before us. Allah reprimanded them for their delay in accepting His message and this serves as a warning to us as well. We should strive to accept His message as soon as possible so that our hearts remain open and receptive to His teachings. We should also remember that Allah knows best what is good for us and He will always guide us on the right path if we are willing to listen.
