Forty Hadith Qudsi

In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful 

 

INTRODUCTION

The following is a collection of 40 Hadith Qudsi. But what is Hadith Qudsi and how do they differ from other Hadith? The following discussion is given in the introduction to the book titled "Forty Hadith Qudsi" published by: Revival of Islamic Heritage Society, Islamic Translation Center, P.O.Box 38130, Aldahieh, Kuwait.

Hadith Qudsi are the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) as revealed to him by the Almighty Allah. Hadith Qudsi (or Sacred Hadith) are so named because, unlike the majority of Hadith which are Prophetic Hadith, their authority (Sanad) is traced back not to the Prophet but to the Almighty.

Among the many definitions given by the early scholars to Sacred Hadith is that of as-Sayyid ash-Sharif al-Jurjani (died in 816 A.H.) in his lexicon At-Tarifat where he says: "A Sacred Hadith is, as to the meaning, from Allah the Almighty; as to the wording, it is from the messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). It is that which Allah the Almighty has communicated to His Prophet through revelation or in dream, and he, peace be upon him, has communicated it in his own words. Thus Qur'an is superior to it because, besides being revealed, it is His wording."

HADITH Sahih Muslim Table of Contents

Introduction to Translation of Sahih Muslim

In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most
Merciful Sahih Muslim is a collection of sayings and deeds of
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) (also known as the sunnah). The
reports of the Prophet's sayings and deeds are called ahadith.
Muslim lived a couple of centuries after the Prophet's death
and worked extremely hard to collect his ahadith. Each report
in his collection was checked for compatibility with the
Qur'an, and the veracity of the chain of reporters had to be
painstakingly established. Muslim's collection is recognized
by the overwhelming majority of the Muslim world to be one of
the most authentic collections of the Sunnah of the Prophet
(pbuh). Muslim (full name Abul Husain Muslim bin al−Hajjaj
al−Nisapuri) was born in 202 A. H. and died in 261 A. H. He
travelled widely to gather his collection of ahadith,
including to Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Egypt. Out of
300,000 ahadith which he evaluated, only 4,000 approximately
(including multiple hadith in a single one i. e. multiple
quotations) were extracted for inclusion into his collection
based on stringent acceptance criteria. Muslim was a student
of Bukhari. It is important to realize, however, that Muslim's
collection is not complete: there are other scholars who
worked as Muslim did and collected other authentic reports.
The translation of Sahih Muslim found here is complete!
