40 Hadith Collections

Collection of 40 hadith collections. There are 32 collections (of 40 hadith each) in this part. Arabic text with English translation.

Hadith Qudsi (Sacred hadith) are those sayings of the Prophet Muhammed divinely communicated to him, though the actual wording need not necessarily be that of the Almighty.

The present collection has been compiled from all the available books of hadith. The forty chosen are all well authenticated and present many of the doctrinal, devotional and ethical elements of Islam. A scholarly introduction deals fully with the subject and shows the way in which Sacred Hadith differ from the Holy Qur’an and Prophetic hadith.

For the first time in English, a comprehensive work commenting on al-Nawawi's Forty Hadith. With an Introduction by Prof. Jaafar Sheikh Idris. Al-Nawawi’s Forty Hadith are known to be among the most important sayings of the Prophet Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam. In-depth knowledge of them is thus sure to give the reader even if he or she is a novice, a comprehensive view of the most fundamental Islamic beliefs and principles. No wonder that this book has been for hundreds of years among the most popular of Islamic books in the Muslim world… There are many commentaries on this book from which Br. Zarabozo has definitely benefited; but his is not a mere translation of summary of those commentaries-it is an original commentary the English speaking reader will find more useful and interesting than mere translations of those traditional commentaries.

Here are just a few excerpts from Prof. Jaafar Sheikh Idris's comments to the work. The reader will not be studying explanations of the hadith in a narrow sense; the reader will, in fact, be introduced to many branches of the Islamic sciences: the different sciences of hadith, the science of textual interpretation, the science of jurisprudence, law, and even Arabic language. This is a great commentary on a great book. Brother Jamaal Zarabozo is to be congratulated for producing such a scholarly book. -- Prof. Jaafar Sheikh Idris
