Forty Hadith An-Nawawi in English and Arabic

Translated by Abu Amina Elias

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

The following are the most important prophetic traditions in Islam according to Yaḥyá
ibn Sharaf al-Nawawī:

Hadith 1: Deeds are by intentions ‫إنما األعمال بالنيات‬

Umar ibn Al-Khattab reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon
him, said:

‫ت ِهجأ َر ُت ُه لِ ُد أن َيا‬ ِ َّ ‫َّللا َو َرسُولِ ِه َف ِهجأ َر ُت ُه إِلَى‬

‫َّللا َو َرسُولِ ِه َو َمنأ َكا َن أ‬ ِ َّ ‫ت ِهجأ َر ُت ُه إِلَى‬ ‫ئ َما َن َوى َف َمنأ َكا َن أ‬ ٍ ‫إِ َّن َما أاْلَعأ َما ُل ِبال ِّن َّي ِة َوإِ َّن َما ِِل أم ِر‬
َ ‫يُصِ ي ُب َها أَ أو ا أم َرأَ ٍة َي َت َزوَّ جُ َها َف ِهجأ َر ُت ُه إِلَى َما َه‬
‫اج َر إِلَ أي ِه‬

Verily, deeds are only with intentions. Verily, every person will have only what
they intended. Whoever emigrated to Allah and His Messenger, then his
emigration is for Allah and His Messenger. Whoever emigrated to get something
in the world or to marry a woman, then his emigration is for whatever he
emigrated for.

Hadith 2: Islam, faith, and excellence ‫اإلسالم واإليمان واإلحسان‬

Umar ibn Al-Khattab reported: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah, peace and
blessings be upon him, one day when a man appeared with very white clothes and very
black hair. There were no signs of travel on him and we did not recognize him. He sat
down in front of the Prophet and rested his knees by his knees and placed his hands on
his thighs. The man said, “O Muhammad, tell me about Islam.” The Prophet said:

‫ان‬
َ ‫ض‬ َّ ‫صلَّى‬
َّ ‫َّللا ُ َعلَ أي ِه َو َسلَّ َم َو ُتقِي َم الص َََّل َة َو ُت أؤت َِي‬
َ ‫الز َكا َة َو َتصُو َم َر َم‬ ِ َّ ‫َّللا ُ َوأَنَّ م َُح َّم ًدا َرسُو ُل‬
َ ‫َّللا‬ َّ ‫اْلسأ ََل ُم أَنأ َت أشهَدَ أَنأ َِل إِلَ َه إِ َِّل‬
ِ‫أ‬
ً‫َو َت ُح َّج أال َبيأتَ إِنأ اسأ َت َطعأ تَ إِلَ أي ِه َس ِبيَل‬

Islam is to witness that there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah, to establish prayer, to give the alms, the fast the month of
Ramadan, and to perform pilgrimage to the House if he is capable of travel.

The man said, “You have spoken truthfully.” We were surprised that he asked him and
then said he was truthful. He said, “Tell me about faith.” The Prophet said:

ِ َّ ‫أَنأ ُت أؤم َِن ِب‬

‫اَّلل َو َم ََل ِئ َك ِت ِه َو ُك ُت ِب ِه َو ُر ُسلِ ِه َو أال َي أو ِم أاْلخ ِِر َو ُت أؤم َِن ِب أال َقدَ ِر َخي ِأر ِه َو َشرِّ ِه‬

Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day,
and to believe in providence, both its good and its evil.

The man said, “You have spoken truthfully. Tell me about excellence.” The Prophet
said:

َ ‫َّللا َكأ َ َّن‬

َ ‫ك َت َراهُ َفإِنأ لَ أم َت ُكنأ َت َراهُ َفإِ َّن ُه َي َرا‬
‫ك‬ َ َّ ‫أَنأ َتعأ ُب َد‬

Excellence is to worship Allah as if you see Him, for you do not see Him but He
certainly sees you.

The man said, “Tell me about the final hour.” The Prophet said:

‫َما أال َمسأ ُئو ُل َع أن َها ِبأَعأ لَ َم ِمنأ السَّائ ِِل‬

The one asked does not know more than the one asking.

The man said, “Tell me about its signs.” The Prophet said:

َ ُ‫أَنأ َتلِ َد أاْلَ َم ُة َر َّب َت َها َوأَنأ َت َرى أال ُح َفا َة أالع َُرا َة أال َعالَ َة ِر َعا َء ال َّشا ِء َي َت َط َاول‬
ِ ‫ون فِي أال ُب أن َي‬
‫ان‬

The servant girl will give birth to her mistress and you will see barefoot, naked,
and destitute shepherds compete in constructing tall buildings.

Then the man left and I remained. The Prophet said to me:
 ‫َيا ُع َم ُر أَ َت أد ِري َمنأ السَّا ِئ ُل‬

O Umar, do you know who he was?

I said, “Allah and His messenger know best.” The Prophet said:

‫َفإِ َّن ُه ِجب ِأري ُل أَ َتا ُك أم ي َُعلِّ ُم ُك أم دِي َن ُك أم‬

Verily, he was Gabriel who came to teach you your religion.

Hadith 3: Pillars of Islam ‫أركان اإلسالم‬

Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

‫ان‬
َ ‫ض‬َ ‫ص أو ِم َر َم‬ ِ ‫الز َكا ِة َو َح ِّج أال َب أي‬
َ ‫ت َو‬ َّ ‫أس َعلَى أَنأ يُعأ َب َد‬
َّ ‫َّللا ُ َو ُي أك َف َر ِب َما ُدو َن ُه َوإِ َق ِام الص َََّل ِة َوإِي َتا ِء‬ ِ ‫ُبن َِي أ‬
ٍ ‫اْلسأ ََل ُم َعلَى َخم‬

Islam is built upon five: to worship Allah and to disbelieve in what is worshiped
besides him, to establish prayer, to give charity, to perform Hajj pilgrimage to the
House, and to fast the month of Ramadan.

Hadith 4: Providence ‫القضاء والقدر‬

Abdullah ibn Masud reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon
him, said:

‫ِك ُث َّم يُرأ َس ُل‬ َ ‫ك مُضأ غَ ًة م أِث َل َذل‬ َ ِ‫ك ُث َّم َي ُكونُ فِي َذل‬ َ ِ‫ك َعلَ َق ًة م أِث َل َذل‬ َ ِ‫ِين َي أومًا ُث َّم َي ُكونُ فِي َذل‬ َ ‫إِنَّ أَ َحدَ ُك أم يُجأ َم ُع َخ ألقُ ُه فِي َب أط ِن أ ُ ِّم ِه أَرأ َبع‬

‫ار َف َي أد ُخل ُ َها َوإِنَّ أَ َحدَ ُك أم لَ َيعأ َم ُل ِب َع َم ِل‬ َ َ
ِ ‫ِب َع َم ِل أهأ ِل أال َج َّن ِة َح َّتى َما َي ُكونُ َب أي َن ُه َو َب أي َن َها إِ َِّل ذ َِرا ٌع َف َيسأ ِب ُق َعلَ أي ِه أال ِك َتابُ َف َيعأ َم ُل ِب َع َم ِل أهأ ِل ال َّن‬
ُ ‫أ‬ َ ‫أ‬ َّ
‫ار َح َّتى َما َي ُكونُ َب أي َن ُه َو َب أي َن َها إِِل ذ َِرا ٌع َف َيسأ ِب ُق َعلَ أي ِه ال ِك َتابُ َف َيعأ َم ُل ِب َع َم ِل أهأ ِل ال َج َّن ِة َف َي أد ُخل َها‬ َ
ِ ‫أهأ ِل ال َّن‬

Verily, the creation of each one of you is brought together in his mother’s womb
for forty days as a drop, then he is a clot for a similar period, then a morsel for a
similar period, then there is sent to him the angel who blows the spirit into him
and he is commanded regarding four matters: to write down his provision, his life
span, his deeds, and whether he is blessed or damned. By Allah other than whom
there is no God, one of you acts like the people of Paradise until he is but an
arm’s length from it, and what is written overtakes him so he acts like the people
of Hellfire and he enters it. Verily, one of you acts like the people of Hellfire until
he is but an arm’s length from it, and what is written overtakes him so he acts like
the people of Paradise and he enters it.

Whoever innovates something into this matter of ours which does not belong to it
will have it rejected.

Whoever performs a deed that is not in accordance with our matter will have it
rejected.

Hadith 6: Lawful and unlawful are clear ‫الحالل بين والحرام بين‬

Al-Nu’man ibn Bashir reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon
him, said:

‫ت اسأ َتب َأرأَ لِدِي ِن ِه َوعِ رأ ضِ ِه َو َمنأ َو َق َع فِي‬

ِ ‫اس َف َمنأ ا َّت َقى أال ُم َش َّب َها‬ ِ ‫ات َِل َيعأ َل ُم َها َكثِي ٌر ِمنأ ال َّن‬ ٌ ‫أال َح ََل ُل َبيِّنٌ َو أال َح َرا ُم َبيِّنٌ َو َب أي َن ُه َما ُم َش َّب َه‬
َ
‫ار ُم ُه أ َِل َوإِنَّ فِي‬ َ َّ َ َ
ِ ‫ك أنأ ي َُوا ِق َع ُه أ َِل َوإِنَّ لِ ُك ِّل َملِكٍ ِحمًى أ َِل إِنَّ ِح َمى‬ َ ُ ِ‫اع َيرأ َعى َح أو َل أال ِح َمى يُوش‬ ِ ‫ال ُّش ُب َها‬
ِ ‫َّللا فِي أرأ ضِ ِه َم َح‬ ٍ ‫ت َك َر‬

Verily, the lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear, and between the two of them
are doubtful matters about which many people do not know. Thus, he who avoids
doubtful matters clears himself in regard to his religion and his honor, and he
who falls into doubtful matters will fall into the unlawful as the shepherd who
pastures near a sanctuary, all but grazing therein. Verily, every king has a
sanctum and the sanctum of Allah is his prohibitions. Verily, in the body there is
a piece of flesh which if upright then the entire body is upright, and if corrupt
then the entire body is corrupt. No doubt it is the heart.

In another narration, the Prophet said:

‫ب أال ِح َمى‬ َ ‫ك اسأ َتب َأرأَ لِ ِعرأ ضِ ِه َودِي ِن ِه َو َمنأ أَرأ َت َع فِي ِه َك‬
ِ ‫ان َك أالمُرأ ت ِِع إِلَى َج أن‬ ِ ‫اجأ َعلُوا َب أي َن ُك أم َو َبي َأن أال َح َر ِام ُس أت َر ًة م َِن أال َح‬

‫ار ُم ُه‬ َ
ِ ‫َّللا فِي اْلرأ‬ ِ ‫ك أَنأ َي َق َع فِي ِه َوإِنَّ لِ ُك ِّل َملِكٍ ِحمًى َوإِنَّ ِح َمى‬
َّ ُ ِ‫يُوش‬
ِ ‫ض َم َح‬

Make between yourself and the unlawful a barrier of what is lawful. Whoever does
so will clear himself in regard to his honor and his religion. A shepherd who
grazes near the side of a sanctum will nearly fall into it. Verily, every king has a
sanctum and the sanctum of Allah is his prohibitions.

Hadith 7: Religion is Good Will ‫الدين النصيحة‬

Tamim al-Dari reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him,
said:

‫يح ُة‬
َ ِ‫ين ال َّنص‬
َ ‫إِنَّ ال ِّد‬

Verily, the religion is sincerity.

We said, “To whom?” The Prophet said:

َ ‫ِين َو َعا َّمت ِِه أم َوأَ ِئ َّم ِة أالمُسأ لِم‬

‫ِين َو َعا َّمت ِِه أم‬ َ ‫َّلل َو ِك َت ِاب ِه َو َرسُولِ ِه َوأَ ِئ َّم ِة أالم أُؤ ِمن‬

people.

Hadith 8: Jihād in the way of Allah ‫الجهاد في سبيل هللا‬

Jabir reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

‫صمُوا ِم ِّني ِد َما َء ُه أم َوأَم َأوالَ ُه أم إِ َِّل ِب َح ِّق َها َوح َِسا ُب ُه أم َعلَى‬ َّ ‫َّللا ُ َفإِ َذا َقالُوا َِل إِلَ َه إِ َِّل‬
َ ‫َّللا ُ َع‬ َ ‫ت أَنأ أ ُ َقا ِت َل ال َّن‬
َّ ‫اس َح َّتى َيقُولُوا َِل إِلَ َه إِ َِّل‬ ُ ‫أ ُ ِمرأ‬
ِ َّ
‫َّللا‬
I have been commanded to fight the people until they say there is no God but
Allah. If they say there is no God but Allah, then they will be granted protection
from me for their lives and property, except by right of justice, and their
reckoning is with Allah.

Then, the Prophet recited the verse:

َ ‫إِ َّن َما أَ أنتَ ُم َذ ِّك ٌر لَسأ تَ َعلَي ِأه أم ِبم‬

‫ُص أيطِ ٍر‬

Verily, you are only a reminder. You are not over them as a dictator. (88:22)

Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 21, Grade: Sahih

Ibn Taymiyah comments on this tradition, writing:

َّ ‫ِين أَ َم َر‬
‫َّللاُ ِب َو َفا ِء َع أه ِد ِه أم‬ َ ‫ِين الَّذ‬ َّ ‫ِين أَذ َِن‬
َ ‫َّللا ُ فِي ِق َتال ِِه أم لَ أم ي ُِر أد ِق َتا َل أال ُم َعا َهد‬ َ ‫ين الَّذ‬ ِ ‫م َُرا ُدهُ ِق َتا ُل أالم َُح‬
َ ‫ار ِب‬

The meaning of this tradition is to fight those who are waging war, whom Allah has
called us to fight. It does not mean to fight those who have made peace, with whom
Allah has commanded us to fulfill their peace.

Source: Majmū’ al-Fatāwá 19/20

And Ibn Rajab writes:

ِ ُ ‫ان فِي قُل‬

‫وب ِه أم َقهأرً ا َو َِل ُم َكلَّ ًفا ِب َذل َِك‬ ِ ‫اْلي َم‬ ِ ‫اَّلل َو َدعأ َو ُت ُه أم إِلَ أي ِه َولَسأ تَ م َُسلَّ ًطا َعلَى إِ أد َخ‬
ِ ‫ال أ‬ ِ َّ ‫أك َت أذكِي ُر ُه أم ِب‬
َ ‫َو أال َمعأ َنى إِ َّن َما َعلَي‬

The meaning is that your duty is only to remind them about Allah and to preach to them.
You do not have authority to insert faith into their hearts by force; you are not
responsible for that.

their excessive questioning and differing with their prophets.

O people, Allah is pure and He accepts only what is pure. Verily, Allah has
commanded the believers as He commanded His messengers. Allah said: O
messengers, eat from good things and act righteously, for I know what you
do.(23:51) And Allah said: O you who believe, eat from good things We have
provided for you. (2:172)

Abu Huraira added:

َ ‫ث أَ أغ َب َر َي ُم ُّد يَدَ أي ِه إِلَى ال َّس َما ِء َيا َربِّ َيا َربِّ َو َم أط َع ُم ُه َح َرا ٌم َو َم أش َر ُب ُه َح َرا ٌم َو َم أل َب ُس ُه َح َرا ٌم َو ُغذ‬

Then, the Prophet mentioned a man who traveled far, becoming disheveled and dusty
and he raises his hands to the sky, saying, “O Lord! O Lord!” while his food is unlawful,
his drink is unlawful, his clothing is unlawful, and he is nourished by the unlawful, so
how can he be answered?

said:

‫ص َد َق ٌة‬ َ ‫ص َد َق ٌة َو َنهأيٌ َعنأ ُم أن َك ٍر‬ َ ِ‫ِب أال َمعأ رُوف‬

Has not Allah made for you ways to give charity? In every glorification of Allah
there is charity, and in every declaration of His greatness there is charity, and in
praise of Him is charity, and in every declaration of His oneness there is charity,
and enjoining good is charity and forbidding evil is charity, and in a man’s
intimate relations with his wife is charity.

They said, “O Messenger of Allah, is there a reward for one who satisfies his passions?”
The Prophet said:

‫ان لَ ُه أَجأ رً ا‬

peace and blessings be upon him, said:

َّ ‫َّللا َو َِل ُت أش ِركأ ِب ِه َش أي ًئا َو ُتقِي ُم الص َََّل َة َو ُت أؤتِي‬

‫الز َكا َة َو َتصُو ُم‬ َّ ُ‫لَ َق أد َسأ َ أل َتنِي َعنأ عَظِ ٍيم َوإِ َّن ُه لَيَسِ ي ٌر َعلَى َمنأ َيس ََّره‬
َ َّ ‫َّللا ُ َعلَ أي ِه َتعأ ُب ُد‬
َ‫ان َو َت ُح ُّج أال َبيأت‬
َ ‫ض‬َ ‫َر َم‬

You have asked about an enormous matter, yet it is easy upon those for whom
Allah makes it easy. Worship Allah and do not associate anything with him,
establish the prayer, give the charity, fast the month of Ramadan, and perform
pilgrimage to the House.

Then, the Prophet said:

‫ص ََلةُ الرَّ ج ُِل ِمنأ َج أوفِ اللَّي ِأل‬ َ ‫ص َد َق ُة ُت أط ِف ُئ أال َخطِ ي َئ َة َك َما ي أُط ِف ُئ أال َما ُء ال َّن‬

َّ ‫ب أال َخي ِأر الص أَّو ُم ُج َّن ٌة َوال‬ َ ُّ‫أَ َِل أَ ُدل‬

Shall I not tell you about the gates of goodness? Fasting is a shield, charity
extinguishes sins as water extinguishes fire, and the prayer of a man in the late
night.

Then, the Prophet recited the verse:

َ ‫َت َت َجا َفى ُج ُنو ُب ُه أم َعنأ أال َم‬

َ ُ‫ضا ِج ِع َح َّتى َبلَغَ َيعأ َمل‬
‫ون‬

They arise from their beds and supplicate to their Lord in fear and hope. They
spend from what We have provided them, for no soul knows what has been
hidden for them of comfort as reward for what they used to do. (32:16)

Then, the Prophet said:

‫س أاْلَ أم ِر ُكلِّ ِه َو َعمُو ِد ِه َو ِذرأ َو ِة َس َنا ِم ِه‬ ‫أَ َِل أ ُ أخب ُر َ أ‬

ِ ‫ك ِب َرأ‬ ِ
Shall I not tell you about the head of the matter and its peak?

I said, “Of course, O Messenger of Allah.” The Prophet said:

‫اْلسأ ََل ُم َو َعمُو ُدهُ الص َََّلةُ َو ِذرأ َوةُ َس َنا ِم ِه أال ِج َها ُد‬ َ ‫أ‬
ِ ‫َرأسُ أاْل أم ِر أ‬

The head of the matter is Islam, its pillar is prayer, and jihād is its peak.

Then the Prophet said:

‫ك ُكلِّ ِه‬ َ ‫أَ َِل أ ُ أخ ِب ُر‬

َ ِ‫ك ِب َم ََلكِ َذل‬

Shall I not tell you how to achieve all of this?

I said, “Yes, O Messenger of Allah.” The Prophet pointed to his tongue and he said:

‫ك َه َذا‬
َ ‫ُكفَّ َعلَ أي‬

Restrain this.

I said, “O Prophet of Allah, will what we say be held against us?” The Prophet said:

‫صا ِئ ُد أَ ألسِ َنت ِِه أم‬

َ ‫ار َعلَى وُ جُوه ِِه أم أَ أو َعلَى َم َناخ ِِر ِه أم إِ َِّل َح‬ َ ‫ك أ ُ ُّم‬

May your mother be bereaved of you, O Mu’adh! Is there anything that topples
people onto their faces in the Hellfire but the harvest of their tongues?

Verily, Allah has made duties obligatory, so do not neglect them. He has set
limits, so do not transgress them. He has made some things sacred, so do no
violate them. He has remained silent concerning things as mercy for you, not out
of forgetfulness, so do not search them out.

‫َّللا إِ أخ َوا ًنا أالمُسأ لِ ُم أَ ُخو أالمُسأ ل ِِم َِل‬

Do not envy each other, do not outbid each other, do not hate each other, do not
turn away from each other, and do not outsell each other. Rather, be servants of
Allah as brothers. The Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. He does not
wrong him or humiliate him or look down upon him. Righteousness is here.

Then, the Prophet pointed to his chest three times and he continued:

ُ ‫ئ ِمنأ ال َّشرِّ أَنأ َيحأ ق َِر أَ َخاهُ أالمُسأ لِ َم ُك ُّل أالمُسأ ل ِِم َعلَى أالمُسأ ل ِِم َح َرا ٌم دَ ُم ُه َو َمال ُ ُه َوعِ رأ‬

the Muslim is sacred to another Muslim: his life, his wealth, and his honor.

Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the most false of tales. Do not seek out
faults, do not spy on each other, do not contend with each other, do not envy
each other, do not hate each other, and do not turn away from each other. Rather,
be servants of Allah as brothers.

Whoever relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, Allah will relieve his
hardship on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever helps ease someone in difficulty,
Allah will make it easy for him in this world and in the Hereafter. Whoever covers
the faults of a Muslim, Allah will cover his faults in this world and in the Hereafter.
Allah helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Whoever travels a path in
search of knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise, for a people
do not gather together in the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and
studying together, except that tranquility will descend upon them, mercy will
cover them, angels will surround them, and Allah will mention them to those with
Him. Whoever is slow to good deeds will not be hastened by his lineage.

Verily, Allah has recorded good and evil deeds and he made them clear. Whoever
intends to perform a good deed but does not do it, then Allah will record it as a
complete good deed. If he intends to do it and does so, then Allah Almighty will
record it as ten good deeds, up to seven hundred times as much or even more. If
he intends to do an evil deed and does not do it, then Allah will record for him
one complete good deed. If he does it, then Allah will record for him a single evil
deed.

declared war upon him. My servant does not grow closer to me with anything
more beloved to me than the duties I have imposed upon him. My servant
continues to draw near me with extra works until I love him. When I love him, I am
his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hands with
which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask something
from me, I would surely give it to him. If he were to ask me for refuge, I would
surely grant it to him. I do not hesitate to do anything as I hesitate to take the soul
of the believer, for he hates death and I hate to displease him.
