Forty Ahadeeth Al-nawawiya

Assalm alaykum warahamatullahi wabarakatu Hadeeth no.1: "Actions are but by intention*and every man shall have but that which he intended.Thus he whose migration was for Allah and His Messenger,his migration was for Allah anmd His Messenger, And he whose migration** was to achieve some worldly benefit or to take some woman in marriage,his migration is for that which for which he has migrated." (Bukhary,Muslim,Abu Dawood,Al-Tirmithi,Al-nissai). --------------------------------------------- *This may be translated as: Deeds are judged only by the intentions. This hadeeth forms the sum and substance of the teachings of Islam. The main object of the life of a muslim,in fact the alfa and omega of his aspirations is to seek the pleasure of Allah.All his energies should therfore,be directed to the achievement of this single end.The deed however noble it may appear,or task however great and useful it may seem to be to the people,has no value in Islam,if it is not done or taken purely for the love of Allah.The work done for the other ends,besides seeking the pleasure of Allah,is valueless in Islam. **This is a reference to a religious migration,in particular to that from Makkah to MAdinah. --------------------------------------------- From (Annawawi's Forty HAdeeth)edited and commentated by Sidheeque M.A. Veliankode.

HADEETH2 STATEMENT OF ISLAM, IMAN AND IHSAN On the authority of Umar(radia Allahu anhu)who said: On the day while we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah(sala Allahu alyhi wasallam)there appeared before us a man whose clothes were exceedingly white and whose hair was exceedingly black.No signs of journeying were to be seen on him and none of us knew him.He walked up and sat by the prophet. Resting his knees against his knees and the palms of his hands on his thighs ,he said: “O Muhammad tell me about Islam. The Messenger of Allah said: “Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah,to perform the prayers, to pay the zakat*, to fast in Ramadan and to make the pilgrimage to the House* if you are able to do so.” He said: “You have spoken rightly.”And we were amazed at him asking and saying that he had spoken rightly. He said : “Then tell me about Iman*? ” He said: “It is to believe in Allah,His angels,His books,His messengers and the Last Day.And to believe in divine destiny both good and the evil*” Thereof he said: “You have spoken rightly.” He said: “Then tell me about Ihsaan.” He said: “To worship Allah as if you see Him and while you see him not yet truly, He sees you.” He said ; “Then tell me about the hour.” He said: “The one questioned about it knows no better than the questioner.” He said : “Then tell me about it’s signs.” He said : “That the slave-girl will give birth to her mistress,and that you will see the barefooted,naked,destitute herdsmen competing in constructing lofty buildings.” Then he took himself off and I stayed for a time.Then he said: “O Umar do you know who the questioner was?” I said : “Allah and His messenger know best.” He said: “that was Gabriel ,who came to you to teach your religion.” (muslim). Notes: *Zakat=often rendered as alms-tax,or poor-due,it is a tax levied on a man’s wealth,and distributed among the poor. *House=the Kaaba and the Holy Mosque in Maakkah. *Iman is generally rendered as “religious belief” or “faith” *divine destiny the good and the evil=it rejects the Magian concept of Godhood,that there are two creators, a creator of good and a creator of evil.

HADEETH 3: PILLARS OF ISLAM On the authority of Abu Abdullah,the son of Umar ibn Al-khattab(radia Allahu anhu)said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah(peace be upon him,say,Islam has been built on five pillars: Testifying that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah,performing the prayers,paying the zakat,making the pilgramage to the House,and fasting in Ramadan."

HADEETH 4: "Verily the creation of each one of you is brought together in his mother's belly for forty days in the form of seed,then he is a clot of blood for a like period,then a morsel of flesh for a like period,then there is sent to him the angel who blows the breath of life into him and who is commanded about four matters:to write down his means of livlihood*,his life span,his actions whether happy or unhappy.By Allah,other whom there is no god,verily one of you behaves like the people of Paradise until there is but an arm's length between him and it,and that which has been written overtakes him and so he behaves like the people of the Hell-fire and thus he enters it:and one of you behaves like the people of the Hell-fire until there is but an arm's length between him and it,and that which is written overtakes him and so he behaves like the people of Paradise and thus he enters it**." (Bukhari and Muslim). --------------------------------------------- *The arabic word "rizq" also possesses such shades of meaning as "daily bread", "fortune","lot in life", "sustenance provided by Allah",.....etc **This should not be taken to mean that man is merely a puppet in the hands of Destiny and has no freedom of act.This hadeeth tells us that he would get into Paradise or Hell according to his deeds.It would be the nature of his deeds which would decide his ultimate end. The words "The writing of destiny overcome him",do not in any way mean that he is forcibly dragged to a different path from those he has been already treading.This is within the knowledge of Allah as to which course he will adopt on such and such occasion,but he is not forced to do so. what the hadeeth brings home to man is that nothing can be said about one's ultimate end during one's lifetime.A wicked person can get into Paradise after sincere repentance and changing his pattern of behaviour,and a good and a pious person can get into Hell by committing a serious sin like polytheism and shirk and taking to evil course at the end of his life. ------------------

Hadeeth 5 On the authority of The Mother of the Faithful,Umm Abdullah Aisha(radia Allahu anha) who said:the Messenger of Allah said: “He who innovates something in this matter of ours that is not of it will have it rejected.” (Bukhary and Muslim). In one version of Muslim it reads: “He who does not act which our matter is not in agreement with will have it rejected.”* *Notes: The question arises: Is everything new to be rejected outright as an innovation (bida’a). This is not the case : bida’a is that act in religion for which there is no sanction of the Law-giver either on the basis of analgy or direct command or a deduction from the law, moreover it is to be included in the shari’ah as an integral part for which reward is assured, and in case of neglecting it there is a threat or punishment. The innovation may take various forms ,e.g. new acts of virtue in religion are to be included without any valid sanction ,or acts of religion are ruled out without any justification ,or the important acts are reduced to insignificant ones and the insignificant acts are elevated to the position of the fundamental acts ,etc.. etc..

Hadeeth 6 The Lawful and Illicit Matters are Plain “That which is lawful is plain and that which is unlawful is plain,and between the two of them are doubtful matters about which not many people know.Thus who avoids these doubtful matters clears himself in regard to his religion and honour,but he who falls into doubtful matters falls into which is unlawful,like the shepherd who pastures around a sanctuary,all but grazing therein. Truly every king has a sanctuary,and truly Allah’s sanctuary is His prohibitions.Truly in the body there is no morsel of flesh which,if it be whole,all the body is whole and which if it be deceased all of it will be deceased.Truly it is the heart.” (Bukhary and Muslim).

*Notes :This hadeeth,beautifully sums up the nature of the Islamic sharia’a and the attitude of  a Muslim towards it.No human language can adequately express such deep and practical wisdom about human life as it has been expressed in this hadeeth.Allah has clearly defined the things which are lawful and those which are unlawful. Every person has a clear knowledge of them but in between these unlawful and lawful things,there are certain things that are doubtful.The man who shuns the use of such,guards himself against pitfalls ,since the the use of doubtful things paves the way from falling into the net of evil. At the outset,no one dare commit glaring evil : he starts from those acts which  have no evil around them ,but the intention behind them is good. He then proceeds slowly and steadily on this dangerous path without realizing the enormity of danger lying ahead and ultimately falls victim to evil. The people who do not avoid doubtful things are imperceptibly but irresistably driven to evil deeds. The holy prophet(may peace be upon him) has explained this process of moral deterioration with the help of a simile of the preserve hazards misfortune, for if these are allowed to graze near it,there is  very liklihood of their  slipping into the preserve. Like the preserve of the kings,evil has a fascination and charm of its own, and the person who hovers about the borderline of evil can  at any moment  fall into its stay. The concluding portion  of this hadeeth has an object lesson for us that we first try to cleanse our heart of evil thoughts and  make it clean,as it can become the dwelling of the Lord only when it is fit for that. Evil  thoughts lead to evil deeds :man should try his best to get rid of them,and this is possible only when we entertain good and use ,thoughts and leave no chance for the evil to find its place in our hearts.

Assalam-u-Alaikum, Jazzak-Allahu Khair sister Widad for sharing all this with us.  May Allah (AWJ) reward you abundantly. I was wondering is there a special reason for there to be only 40 hadith Nawawiya?  I'm quite sure that he must have narrated more than that.  Is it because these ahadith are of high authenticity? Thanks, Wassalam-u-Alaikum

HADEETH 7: On the authority of Abu Ruqayya Tamim ibn Aus Ad-Dari,(may Allah be pleased with him): That the prophet (may the blessings of Allah be upon him)said: “Religion is sincerity*.We said:To whom? He said to Allah* and His Book* and His Messenger*,and to the leaders of the Muslims* and their common folk.”* (Muslim). *Notes: 1.The arabic word nasiha has a variety of meanings,the most common being ‘good advice’,which obviously is not suitable in the context.It also gives the meaning of ‘doing justice to a person or situation’, ‘probity’, ‘integrity’, and the like. It is a very comprehensive term and it stands for all the virtues and deeds for which the counsel is given.Thus according to its derivation it would mean to make man’s heart chaste and pure and to order life according to Islam with sincere counsel or advice.It is the opposite of impurity and alloy. 2.Nasiha for Allah  means that one should believe in Him  as the sole creator and Master with all his  name attributes,and with an earnest desire to to obey all the commands given by Him. 3.Nasiha in the case of Allah’s Book is it should  be sincerely believed as revelation from the Lord,and should be read and understood with the same zeal and enthusiasm in which the Divine Message is read,and all its commands must be carried out in a spirit of devotion. 4.Nasiha for the Messenger signifies that his Apostlehood must be affirmed with perfect sincerity of heart. And whatever he has vouchsafed for humanity should be respected as the Word and the Will of God .He should be respectfully followed in all his percepts and examples, and obeyed in all the commands given by him. 5.Nasiha for the leaders implies that they should be respected and obeyed and given support in all those affairs which they conduct according to sharia’ah of Islam.But where they deviate from the path of righteousness, they should be advised and admonished and sincere efforts made to bring them to the right path. 6.Nasiha for the general Muslims,is that they should be advised in all matters concerning the good of this world and the Hereafter,their life ,honour and dignity,should be protected and sincere endeavour made to a meliorate their lot. Nasiha thus covers the whole field of religion and its scope as wide as that of Islam itself.It applies  both to words and deeds.It is “fard kifaya” and is essential to maintain the moral health of the society.

(Bukhary and MUslim). *This shows that whatever the prophet may peace be upon him has left untouched(neither ordering or forbidding) ,it is allowed(mubah)i.e.neither prohibited nor obligatory. Whatever he ordered is obligatory(fard),and whatever he forbade is prohibited(haram)and whatever he ordered to do is binding on us to the extent of our ability alone(Ibn HAzm,Al-Muhallah,vol1,p.56)

HADEETH 10: On the authority of Abu Huraira who said:The Messenger of Allah said: "Allah the Almighty is good and  accepts only that is good.Allah has commanded  the Faithful to do that which He commanded the Messengers and  the Almighty said: "O ye Messengers eat of the good things and do  right."* And Allah the Almighty said: "O ye who believe eat of the good things wherewith We have provided you."** Then he mentioned the case of the man, who having journeyed far,is desheveled and dusty and who spreads out his hands to the sky saying:"O Lord,O Lord,"while his food is unlawful and his drink is unlawful,and he is nourished unlawfully,so how can he be answered?"*** (muslim). notes: *quran 23:51 **quran 2:172 ***This hadeeth sheds a good deal of light on the fact that the man who suffers hardships for the sake of Allah his supplication is readily accepted by God . In this hadeeth we are told of a man that he travels far and wide,his hair is deshevelled and his body covered with dust-his pathetic condition-to invoke the mercy of the Lord,but his prayer is not accepted  because his earning is not lawful.The honest earning and the honest living are the two pre-requisites of the supplication being accepted.

Assalam alaikum wa rahmatullah. May Allah ta'ala reward you abundantly Sister Widad for this mightily beneficial exercise in sharing 'ilm. I think more of us, if we have notes taken in classes we attend, and the time to type them up, should *definitely* share them, as 'ilm- like wealth in Islam- should not be hoarded, but shared. Especially in consideration of those who perhaps are not fortunate enough to attend but have a passion for seeking knowledge. And I remind us all- which should be a nice motivation for Sister Widad to continue such exercises- that such things may be a source of continuous benefit after one has left this Dunya, so one's Account will bi'ithnillah continue to grow. On a related note, Shaykh Abdullah Adhami wrote, in his wonderful four part series of articles on Shar'iah, under the section Continuity and Balance: "Continuity in the pursuit of knowledge reflects devotion. Rasulullah (saw) said: "An indication of someone's mettle of taqwa is to seek knowledge about that which one does not know." Thus, when one is not striving to further their knowledge, this indicates that they have not reaped the benefits from that which they already know. Al-Asmai (213 AH) was asked why he remembers while his friends forgot, and he said: "I kept studying and they stopped."" Subhan'Allah. In response to Brother proudtobemuslim's enquiry: "is there a special reason for there to be only 40 hadith Nawawiya?" Interestingly enough it is *not* because he collected forty hadith. Insha'Allah if I remember, I will post tomorrow the background answer, as I don't have the necessary information to hand. With reference to the hadith selected for the book, he (ra) did not pick them at all arbitrarily, but for a reason, which insha'Allah if time permits I will elaborate upon tomorrow, or soon. For sure he (ra) had other collections, possibly the most well known being the Riyadh al-Salihin. Abu Khaled

Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem. Assalam alaikum wa rahmatullah. As mentioned, here is the answer to the question of why Imam Nawawi (ra) chose to compile forty hadith in his (ra) own words. In the introduction to the Arba'ain, Imam Nawawi (ra) explains (as translated by Brother Abdassamad Clarke in the April 2000 edition published by TA-HA Publishers): "We have narrated from 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, Mu'adh ibn Jabal, Abu'd-Darda, Ibn 'Umar, Ibn 'Abbas, Anas ibn Malik, Abu Hurairah and Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with them, through many different paths and varieties of narrations, that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Whoever preserves forty hadith for my ummah in the affair of their deen, then Allah will raise him up on the Day of Rising in the company of the people of fiqh and the people of knowledge," and in the narration of Abu'd-Darda', "And I will be for him on the Day of Rising an intercessor and a witness," and in the narration of Ibn Mas'ud, "It will be said to him 'Enter through whichever door of the Garden you will," and in the narration of Ibn 'Umar, "He will be recorded in the company of the people of knowledge and gathered in the company of the shuhada." Those who memorise ahadith agree that it is a weak hadith even though it is narrated through many different paths." The Imam (ra) then mentions that many such compilations have been made, and follows by saying what the people of knowledge have said about the permissibility of acting on weak hadith *in the excellences of actions.* [Abu Khaled: I believe he is referring to fadail al-amal, wallahu ta'ala a'lam] He (ra) goes on to explain how he (ra) chose to rely on Sahih hadith only, and then more specifically, those which each embodied one of the great principles of the Deen, and were universal in their import. I hope that answers your question Brother proudtobemuslim. Abu Khaled

Then it has been also stressed that it is the duty of every muslim to restrain from saying anything or doing anything which may be a source of trouble to his neighbor or to his fellow-brother in Islam.This hadeeth also gives an idea that islam's approach to life is not non-social.

Hadeeth 23: The Messenger of Allah said: "Purity is half of faith* Al-hamdulillah fills the scales, and Subhanallah and Al-hamdulilla,fill what is between heaven and earth. Prayer is light, Charity is a proof, patience is illumination And the Quran is an argument for or against you. Everyone starts his day and is a vendor of his soul,either freeing it or bringing about its ruin." (Related by Muslim). *Faith covers two aspects: a)purification of one's soul of all evil thoughts and ideas and banishing from it the love of all false deities. b)entertaining in one's heart the love of Allah alone. Cleanliness is said to be half of faith because unless the work of the purification of the heart is complete,one cannot have full devotion to Allah to the exclusion of devotion to any other goodhood.

Hadeeth 24: On the authority of Abu tharr al0ghafary from the prophet that among the sayings he relates from his Lord:is that He said: "O my servants ,I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden against you,so do not oppress one another. O my servants,all of you are astray except for those I have guided,so seek guidance from Me and I shall guide you. O my servants all of you are hungry except for those I have fed,so seek food of Me and I shall feed you. O my servants  all of your are naked,except for those who I clothed so seek clothing from Me and I shall clothe you. O my servants,you sin by night and day,and I forgive all sins,so seek forgiveness of me and I shall forgive you. O my servants,you will not attain harming Me so as to harm Me,and you will not attain benefiting me so as to benefit Me. O my servants,were the first of you and the last of you,the human of you and the jinn of you to be  as pious as the most pious heart of any one man of you,that would not increase My Kingdom in anything. O my servants,were the first of you and the last of you,the human of you and the jinn of you to be as wicked as the most wicked heart of any of you,that would not decrease my kingdom in anything. O my servants,were the first of you and the last of you,the human of you and the jinn of you  to rise up in one place and make a request of Me,and were I to give  everyone  what he requested,that would not decrease what I have,any more than a needle decreases the seas if put into it. O my servants,it is but your deeds that I reckon up for you and recompense you for,so let him who finds good praise Allah,and let him  who finds other than that blame no one but himself."(muslim).

Tafseer of hadeeth 22: Al-Jardany said: This hadeeth is very strong,and all of Islam is totalled in it. The deeds are either of the heart or the body,and both are either permitted and that is what is halal,or prohibited and that is the haram.So if a person permits what is halal or prohibits what is haram then he has done all that was ot be done in deen therefore enters jannah safely. 1)Iqamat al-salat: Performing obligatory prayer: It means the five written prayers that Allah has ordered us to pray daily,and that we have to do them as the prophet (sal Allahu alyhi wasallam)used to perform them. "......and establish Regular prayer, for prayer restrains from shameful And evil deeds:..."(quran 29:45). 2)Fasting Ramadan: this kind of worship cleanses the soul and gives him strength and iman and taqwa(fear of Allah)which is the reason for the goodness of both lives(now and the hereafter). 3)Treat as lawful that which is lawful: You have to believe that what Allah has made halal is so.because those who make what is halal into haram or vice versa have indeed fallen into kufr. 4)Treating that what is forbidden as haram: Here it is important to believe in what is forbidden that it is so and to TREAT it as such(unlike the halal,it is enough to believe in it). 5)And do nothing further,I shall enter paradise? He meant that if I didn't do anything else besides the wajib(what was ordered)meaning if he didn't do any of the  extras(nawafil).The prophet sala ALlahu alyhi wasallam has encouraged the voluntary praying and fasting,but here he answered the man that yes if he did only the obligatory prayers and fasting and prohibited the haram and permitted the halal,he will enter jannah. **The benifits of this hadeeth: -The muslim should ask the people of ilm(scholars)about what he does not know about his deen. -the scholar must look at the state of the one asking to give him what he needs of knowledge (according to his ability of doing). -the bringing of glad tidings  during teaching. -that even in the event of doing only the wajib and leaving the prohibited one can enter jannah.

slm Hadeeth 25: On the authority of abu Dharr: Some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah (salla  alahu alyhi wasallam) said: To him:”O Messenger of Allah the affluent have made off with the rewards ,they pray as we pray ,they fast as we fast, and they give away in charity  the superfluity of their wealth.” He said:”Has not Allah made things for you to give a way in charity? Truly every “tasbeeha* is a  charity and every takbeerah* is a charity, every tahmidah* is a charity, and every tahlilah*is a charity. To enjoin good action is a charity, to forbid an evil action is a charity, and in the sexual act of each of you is a charity.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah when one of us fulfills his sexual desire ,he will have a reward for that?” He said:”Do you not think that were he to act upon it unlawfully he would be sinning ? Likewise ,if he acted upon it lawfully he will have a reward.” (related by Muslim). *tasbeehah= to say subhanallah(how far is Allah from every  imperfection). *takbeerah= to say Allahu akbar(Allah is most great). *tahmeedah=to say alhamdulillah(praise be to Allah). Tahleelah=to say la ilaha illa Allah(there is no god but Allah).

Hadeeth 27: On the authority of nawas ibn Sama'an that the rpophet sala ALlahu alyhi wasllam said: "Righteousness is good morality, and wrongdoing is which wavers in your soul and which you dislike people finding out about." (related by Muslim). And on the authority of Wabissa ibn Ma'abad who said: I came to the Messenger of Allah and he said: "You have come to ask about righteousness?" I said: "Yes" He said : "Consult your heart.Righteousness is that about which the soul feels tranquil and the heart feels tranquil,and wrongdoing is that which wavers in the soul and moves to and fro in the breast even though people again and again have give you their legal opinion(in it's favor)."

He said:"I counsel you to fear Allah,and to give absolute obedience even if a slave becomes your leader.Verily he among you who lives(long) will see great controversy,so you must keep to my sunnah,and to the sunnah of the rightly guided rashidite Caliphs-cling to them stubbornly.Beware of newly invented matters,for every invented matter is aninnovation and every innovation is a going astray ,and every going astray is in Hell-Fire."

Hadeeth 29: On the authority of Mu'ath ibn Jabal who said: I said: "O' Messenger of Allah,tell me an act which will take me into Paradise and will keep me away from Hell-fire. He said:"You have asked me about a major matter,yet it is easy for whom Allah almighty makes it easy.You should worship Allah,associating nothing with Him,you should perform the prayers,pay the zakat,fast Ramadan,you should make the pilgrimage to the House." Then he said:"Shall I not show you the gates of goodness??Fasting ,which is a shield:Charity which extinguishes sin as water extinguishes fire and the Praying of a man in the depths of night." Then he recited: "Who forsake their beds to cry unto their Lord in fear and hope,and spend of that we have bestowed on them.No soul knoweth what is kept hid for them of joy,as a reward for what they used to do." then he said: "Shall i tell you of the peak of the matter,its pillar,and its topmost part?" I said:Yes ,O' messenger of Allah. He said:"The peak of the matter is Islam,the pillar is prayer and its topmost part is Jihad." then he said: "Shall I not tell you the the controlling of all that?" I said:Yes O messenger of Allah,and he took hold of his tongue and said: "Restrain this." I said: O prophet of Allah will what we say be held against us? He said:"May your mother be bereaved of you,Mu'ath!!Is there anything that topples people on their faces -or he said on their noses-into hell-fire other than the harvest of their tongues?" (related by Al-Tirmithy who said it was a good and sound hadeeth).

Whosoever alleviates (the lot) of a needy person,Allah will alleviate(his lot)in this world and the hereafter. Whosoever shields* a muslim,Allah will shield him in this world and and the Hereafter.
