In
the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful Forty
Hadith Qudsi . 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. On
the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be
pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be
upon him) said: When Allah decreed the Creation He pledged Himself by writing
in His book which is laid down with Him: My mercy prevails over my wrath. Related
by Muslim (also by al-Bukhari, an-Nasa'i
and Ibn Majah).
On
the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be
pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be
upon him) said: Allah Almighty has said:
The son of Adam denied Me and he had no right to do so. And he reviled Me
and he had no right to do so. As for his denying Me,
it is his saying: He will not remake me as He made me at first and the initial
creation [of him] is no easier for Me than remaking him. As for his reviling Me,
it is his saying: Allah has taken to Himself a son, while I am the One, the
Everlasting Refuge. I begot not nor was I begotten, and there is none
comparable to Me. Related
by al-Bukhari (also by an-Nasa'i).
On
the authority of Zayd ibn
Khalid al-Juhaniyy
(may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (may
the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) led the morning prayer for us at
al-Hudaybiyah following rainfall during the night.
When the Prophet (may the blessings and peace of
Allah be upon him) finished, he faced the people and said to them: Do you know
what your Lord has said? They said: Allah and his Messenger know best. He
said: This morning one of my servants became a believer in Me
and one a disbeliever. As for him who said: We have been given rain by virtue
of Allah and His mercy, that one is a believer in Me, a disbeliever in the
stars and as for him who said: We have been given rain by such-and-such a
star, that one is a disbeliever in Me, a believer in the stars. Related
by al-Bukhari (also by Malik
and an-Nasa'i).
On
the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be
pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be
upon him) said: Allah said: Sons of Adam inveigh against [the vicissitudes of]
Time, and I am Time, in My hand is the night and the day. Related
by al-Bukhari (also by Muslim).
On
the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be
pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)
said: Allah (glorified and exalted be He) said:I
am so self-sufficient that I am in no need of having an associate. Thus he who
does an action for someone else's sake as well as Mine
will have that action renounced by Me to him whom he associated with Me. Related
by Muslim (also by Ibn Majah).
On
the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be
pleased with him), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon
him) say:The first of
people against whom judgment will be pronounced on the Day of Resurrection
will be a man who died a martyr. He will be brought and Allah will make known
to him His favours and he will recognize them. [
The Almighty] will say: And what did you do about them? He will say: I
fought for you until I died a martyr. He will say: You have lied - you did but
fight that it might be said [of you]: He is courageous. And so it was said.
Then he will be ordered to be dragged along on his face until he is cast into
Hell-fire. [Another] will be a man who has studied [religious] knowledge and
has taught it and who used to recite the Quran. He
will be brought and Allah will make known to his His
favours and he will recognize them. [The Almighty]
will say: And what did you do about them? He will say: I studied [religious]
knowledge and I taught it and I recited the Quran
for Your sake. He will say: You have lied - you did but study [religious]
knowledge that it might be said [of you]: He is learned. And you recited the Quran
that it might be said [of you]: He is a reciter.
And so it was said. Then he will be ordered to be dragged along on his face
until he is cast into Hell-fire. [Another] will be a man whom Allah had made
rich and to whom He had given all kinds of wealth. He will be brought and
Allah will make known to his His favours
and he will recognize them. [The Almighty] will say: And what did you do about
them? He will say: I left no path [untrodden] in
which You like money to be spent without spending
in it for Your sake. He will say: You have lied - you did but do so that it
might be said [of you]: He is open-handed. And so it was said. Then he will be
ordered to be dragged along on his face until he is cast into Hell-fire. Related
by Muslim (also by at-Tirmidhi and an-Nasa'i).
On
the authority of Uqbah ibn
Amir (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I
heard the messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say:Your
Lord delights at a shepherd who, on the peak of a mountain crag, gives the
call to prayer and prays. Then Allah (glorified and exalted be He) say:
Look at this servant of Mine, he gives the call to prayer and performs the
prayers; he is in awe of Me. I have forgiven My
servant [his sins] and have admitted him to Related

On
the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be
pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace be upon him), who said: A prayer
performed by someone who has not recited the Essence of the Quran
(1) during it is deficient (and he repeated the word three times), incomplete.
Someone said to Abu Hurayrah: [Even though] we are
behind the imam? (2) He said: Recite it to yourself, for I have heard the
Prophet (may the blessings and peace of Allah be up on him) say: Allah (mighty
and sublime be He), had said: I have divided prayer between Myself and My
servant into two halves, and My servant shall have what he has asked for. When
the servant says: Al-hamdu lillahi
rabbi l-alamin (3), Allah (mighty and sublime be
He) says: My servant has praised Me. And when he says: Ar-rahmani
r-rahim (4), Allah (mighty and sublime be He)
says: My servant has extolled Me, and when he says: Maliki
yawmi d-din (5), Allah says: My servant has
glorified Me - and on one occasion He said: My servant has submitted to My
power. And when he says: Iyyaka na
budu wa iyyaka
nasta in (6), He says: This is between Me and My
servant, and My servant shall have what he has asked for. And when he says: Ihdina
s-sirata l- mustaqim, siratal
ladhina an amta alayhim
ghayril-maghdubi alayhim
wa la d-dallin (7), He
says: This is for My servant, and My servant shall have what he has asked for.

On
the authority of Abu Harayrah (may Allah be
pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace be upon him), who said: Allah
(mighty and sublime be He) says:The
first of his actions for which a servant of Allah will be held accountable on
the Day of Resurrection will be his prayers. If they are in order, then he
will have prospered and succeeded: and if they are wanting, then he will have
failed and lost. If there is something defective in his obligatory prayers,
the Lord (glorified and exalted be He) will say: See if My
servant has any supererogatory prayers with which may be completed that which
was defective in his obligatory prayers. Then the rest of his actions will be
judged in like fashion. Related

On
the authority of Abu Harayrah (may Allah be
pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace be upon him), who said: Allah
(mighty and sublime be He) says:Fasting
is Mine and it I who give reward for it. [A man] gives up his sexual passion,
his food and his drink for my sake. Fasting is like a shield, and he who fasts
has two joys: a joy whin
he breaks his fast and a joy when he meets his Lord. The change in the breath
of the mouth of him who fasts is better in Allah's estimation than the smell
of musk. Related

way of good was found for him except that he used to have dealings with people
and, being well-to-do, he would order his servants to let off the man in
straitened circumstances [from repaying his debt]. He (the Prophet p.b.u.h)
said that Allah said: We are worthier than you of that (of being so generous).

complaining of penury (being very poor), while the other was complaining of brigandry

On
the authority of Abu Harayrah (may Allah be

(glorified and exalted be He) has supernumerary angels who rove about seeking
out gatherings in which Allah's name is being invoked: they sit with them and
fold their wings round each other, fillin that
which is between them and between the lowest heaven. When [the people in the
gathering] depart, [the angels] ascend and rise up to heaven. He (the Prophet p.b.u.h.)
said: Then Allah (mighty and sublime be He) asks
them - [though] He is most knowing about them: From where have you come? And
they say: We have come from some servants of Yours
on Earth: they were glorifying You (Subhana llah),
exalting you (Allahu akbar),
witnessing that there is no god but You (La ilaha illa
llah), praising You (Al-Hamdu
lillah), and asking [favours]
of You. He says: And what do they ask of Me? They
say: They ask of You Your Paradise. He says: And have they seen My Paradise?

Paradise! They say: And they ask protection of You.

They say: From Your Hell-fire, O Lord. He says: And have they seen My
Hell-fire? They say: NO. He says: And how would it be were they to have seen
My Hell-fire: They say: And they ask for Your
forgiveness. He (the Prophet p.b.u.h) said: Then

upon him) said: Allah the Almighty said: I
am as My servant thinks I am. I am with him when he
makes mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to
himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an
assembly, I make mention of him in an assemble better than it. And if he draws
near to Me an arm's length, I draw near to him a

pleased with them both), from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him),
among the sayings he related from his Lord (glorified and exalted be He) is
that He said:Allah has
written down the good deeds and the bad ones. Then He explained it [by saying
that] he who has intended a good deed and has not done it, Allah writes it
down with Himself as a full good deed, but if he has intended it and has done
it, Allah writes it down with Himself as from ten good deeds to seven hundred
times, or many times over. But if he has intended a bad deed and has not done
it, Allah writes it down with Himself as a full good deed, but if he has
intended it and has done it, Allah writes it down as one bad deed. Related

among the sayings he relates from his Lord (may He be glorified) is that He said:O
My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself
and have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another. O My
servants, all of you are astray except for those I have guided, so seek
guidance of 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 you are naked except for those I have clothed, so seek
clothing of Me and I shall clothe you. O My
servants, you sin by night and by 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 will not attain
benefitting 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 one man 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 that a needle decreases the sea if put into it. O My servants,
it is but your deeds that I reckon up for you and then recompense you for, so
let him finds good praise Allah and let him who finds other that blame no one
but himself. Related

Majah).

pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)
said: Allah (mighty and sublime be He) will say on the Day of Resurrection:O
son of Adam, I fell ill and you visited Me not. He will say: O Lord, and how
should I visit You when You are the Lord of the
worlds? He will say: Did you not know that My
servant So-and-so had fallen ill and you visited him not? Did you not know
that had you visited him you would have found Me
with him? O son of Adam, I asked you for food and you fed Me
not. He will say: O Lord, and how should I feed You
when You are the Lord of the worlds? He will say: Did you not know that My
servant So-and-so asked you for food and you fed him not? Did you not know
that had you fed him you would surely have found that (the reward for doing
so) with Me? O son of Adam, I asked you to give Me
to drink and you gave Me not to drink. He will say: O Lord, how should I give You
to drink whin You are the Lord of the worlds? He
will say: My servant So-and-so asked you to give him to drink and you gave him
not to drink. Had you given him to drink you would have surely found that with

full from him and has not given him his wage. Related

Majah and Ahmad ibn Hanbal).

not any one of you belittle himself. They said: O Messenger of Allah, how can
any one of us belittle himself? He said: He finds a matter concerning Allah
about which he should say something, and he does not say [it], so Allah
(mighty and sublime be He) says to him on the Day
of Resurrection: What prevented you from saying something about such-and-such

upon him) said: So Gabriel loves him. Then he (Gabriel) calls out in heaven,
saying: Allah loves So-and-so, therefore love him. And the inhabitants of
heaven love him. He (the Prophet peace be upon him)
said: Then acceptance is established for him on earth. And if Allah has
abhorred a servant [of His], He calls Gabriel and says: I abhor So-and-so,
therefore abhor him. So Gabriel abhors him. Then Gabriel calls out to the
inhabitants of heaven: Allah abhors So-and-so, therefore abhor him. He (the

the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be
pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)
said: Allah (mighty and sublime be He) said:Whosoever
shows enmity to someone devoted to Me, I shall be at war with him. My servant
draws not near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties
I have enjoined upon him, and My servant continues to draw near to Me with
supererogatory works so that I shall love him. When I love him I am his
hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with
which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something]
of Me, I would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me
for refuge, I would surely grant him it. I do not hesitate about anything as
much as I hesitate about [seizing] the soul of My
faithful servant: he hates death and I hate hurting him. Related

the authority of Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased
with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
Allah (mighty and sublime be He) said:Truly of
those devoted to Me the one I most favour is a
believer who is of meagre means and much given to
prayer, who has been particular in the worship of his Lord and has obeyed Him
inwardly (1), who was obscure among people and not pointed our, and whose
sustenance was just sufficient to provide for him yet he bore this patiently.
Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) rapped his hand and said: Death will have
come early to him, his mourners will have been few, his estate scant. Related

about this verse: And do not regard those who have been killed in the cause of
Allah as dead, rather are they alive with their Lord, being provided for (Quran
Chapter 3 Verse 169). He said: We asked about that and the Prophet (peace be

said: Allah (mighty and sublime be He) said:If
My servant likes to meet Me, I like to meet him; and if he dislikes to meet
Me, I dislike to meet him. Prophetic explanation of this Sacred Hadith:
He who likes to meet Allah, Allah likes to meet him; and he who dislikes to
meet Allah, Allah dislikes to meet him. Aishah
(may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Prophet of Allah,
is it because of the dislike of death, for all of us dislike death? The
Prophet (peace be upon him) said: It is not so, but rather it is that when the
believer is given news of Allah's mercy, His approval and His Paradise, he
likes to meet Allah and Allah likes to meet him; but when the unbeliever is
given news of Allah's punishment and His displeasure, he dislikes to meet
Allah and Allah dislikes to meet him. Related
by al-Bukhari and Malik.
The Prophetic version is related by Muslim. On
the authority of Jundub (may Allah be pleased with
him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) related:A
man said: By Allah, Allah will not forgive So-and-so. At this Allah the
Almighty said: Who is he who swears by Me that I

sons, saying: When I have died, burn me, then crush me and scatter [my ashes]
into the sea, for, by Allah, if my Lord takes possession of me, He will punish
me in a manner in which He has punished no one [else]. So they did that to
him. Then He said to the earth: Produce what you have taken-and there he was!
And He said to him: What induced you to do what you did? He said: Being afraid
of You, O my Lord (or he said: Being frightened of You)
and because of that He forgave him. Related

the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be
pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace be upon him), from among the things
he reports from his Lord (mighty and sublime be He), is that he said:A
servant [of Allah's] committed a sin and said: O Allah, forgive me my sin. And
He (glorified and exalted be He) said: My servant has committed a sin and has
known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for them. Then he
sinned again and said: O Lord, forgive me my sin. And He (glorified and
exalted be He) said: My servant has committed a sin and has known that he has
a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for them. Then he sinned again and said:

the Almighty said:O son of Adam, so long as you
call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I
shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky
and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of
Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as
great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I
would bring you forgiveness nearly as great at it. Related

Lord (glorified and exalted be He) descends each night to the earth's sky when
there remains the final third of the night, and He says: Who is saying a
prayer to Me that I may answer it? Who is asking something of Me

believers will gather together on the Day of Resurrection and will say: Should
we not ask [someone] to intercede for us with our Lord? So they will come to
Adam and will say: You are the Father of mankind; Allah created you with His
hand He made His angels bow down to you and He taught you the names of
everything, so intercede for us with you Lord so that He may give us relief
form this place where we are. And he will say: I am not in a position [to do
that] - and he will mention his wrongdoing and will feel ashamed and will say:
Go to Noah, for he is the first messenger that Allah sent to the inhabitants
of the earth. So they will come to him and he will say: I am not in a position
[to do that] - and he will mention his having requested something of his Lord
about which he had no [proper] knowledge (Quran
Chapter 11 Verses 45-46), and he will feel ashamed and will say: Go to the
Friend of the Merciful (Abraham). So they will come to him and he will say: I
am not in a position [to do that]. Go to Moses, a servant to whom Allah talked
and to whom He gave the Torah. So they will come to him and he will say: I am
not in a position [to do that] - and he will mention the talking of a life
other that for a life (Quran Chapter 28 Verses
15-16), and he will fell ashamed in the sight of his Lord and will say: Go to
Jesus, Allah's servant and messenger, Allah's word and spirit. So they will
come to him and he will say: I am not in a position [to do that]. Go to
