Introduction
Verily all praise is due to Allāh. We praise Him, we seek His assistance and His
forgiveness, and we seek refuge in Almighty Allāh from the evil of our passions
and the worst of our deeds. Indeed, whomsoever Allāh guides, no one can
mislead him, and whomsoever Allāh puts astray, no one can guide him. And I
testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allāh alone, with no
partner. And I testify that Muhammad  is His slave and messenger.
The following is a collection of selected aĥādīth from the sayings of our beloved
Prophet Muhammad , the teacher and the leader of all humanity, collected by
the slave servant of Allāh, Abu Al-‘Abādilah, Muhammad Sayed Adly. This
collection is intended to be used by the students of Islāmic schools in America.
I did my best to select short aĥādīth, which make it easier on the students to
memorize. It is written in a manner that is easy to read, along with some
explanation. I did my best to make this collection cover certain subjects, such as
‘aqīdah (belief), ‘ibādah (worship), akhlāq (behavior), and mu‘āmalāh (dealing
with each other). Each ĥadīth is accompanied by an English translation, a
discussion of the main subject matter, definition of key vocabulary, and Exercise
for the application of the knowledge acquired. There are four main objectives
for the study of each ĥadīth. As a result of studying this book the student should
be able to:
1. Read the forty aĥādīth in Arabic and English,
2. Understand key vocabulary,
3. Explain the main subject matter discussed in each ĥadīth, and
4. Memorize the forty aĥādīth.
I have only included in this collection what is authentic, and I do not claim
perfection. I pray that Allāh will help all of us clean our intentions and make
them sincerely for His pleasure, to my benefit and as well as to your benefit, in
this life and in the hereafter. Please bring to my attention any mistakes you may
find in this work, so that they can be corrected in the next edition. I beg Allāh’s
forgiveness and ask Him to conceal my shortcomings in this work.
Sincerely yours,
Muhammad Sayed Adly

Narrated Ŭmar ibn al-Khaŧŧāb, may Allāh be pleased with him,
A EA
that:
Allāh’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said: “Deeds are to be

judged according to one's intention, and indeed everyone shall get
whatever he or she intends.”
Al-Bukhārī
Lessons to be learned from the ĥadīth:
1. Intention precedes deeds and sayings.

2. Every person will be judged according his intention.
3. Sincerity is required for actions to be accepted.
4. Good intention doesn’t make a wrong deed correct.
5. Whatever we do has to be only for the sake of Allāh.
Words to know: al-ă-mal (the deeds) na-wā (he intends)

A EA
Exercise:
1. Mention 5 good deeds.

2. Tell a story in which Allāh rewarded the doer of a good
deed because of his intention.
3. Give two examples of a person who commits something
haram, although his/her intention was to please Allāh.
4. What is the reward for the person who gives $100.00 in
front of everyone at a fundraiser for the masjid so that the
people will think that he is really a good and generous
person?

The Messenger of Allāh (peace be upon him) said: “If someone

tries to introduce into this faith of ours (Islām) something which is
not a part of it, it is to be rejected.”
Al-Bukhārī
4
1. The religion of Islām is built on submission and following,

not invention and addition.
2. Islām does not permit any innovation and Islām
encourages holding fast to the Sunnah.
3. Any deed that is not in accordance with the Sunnah will be
rejected and the one who did it will not be rewarded.
Words to know: aĥ-da-tha (invent) am-ri-nā (our affairs)

radd (will be rejected)
Exercise:
1. What does it mean to innovate something in Islām?

2. Why is innovation in the dīn of Islām a major sin?
3. Mention some of the innovations that you may have
observed among the Muslims?
4. Since Allāh told us He perfected our religion for us, what
are people implicitly saying to Allāh when they try to
“improve” or “add to” the religion He perfected?

Narrated Ŭmar bin Al-Khaŧŧāb, may Allāh be pleased with him,

that:
Allāh’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said: “Do not exaggerate

in praise of me just as the Christians exaggerated in the praise of
Jesus, son of Mary. I am but a slave, so call me Allāh’s slave and
His Messenger.”
Al-Bukhārī

3. Whatever leads to ĥarām is ĥarām.
4. Exaggerated honoring of dead righteous people may lead
to shirk.

the exaggeration of their prophets.
8. The Messengers are the best of Allāh’s creation.
9. One of the things that caused the Christians to go astray is
their exaggeration of their prophet Jesus.
Words to know: tuŧ-rū-nī (exaggerate) na-ŝā-rā (Christian)
Exercise:
1. How do we safeguard ourselves from exceeding the limits

in our love and respect for the Prophet (sallallāhu ‘alayhi
wa sallam)?
2. Is the prohibition of exaggeration in praising someone
limited to the Prophet or is it permissible to overly praise
anyone?

Ra-wā-hu mus-lim
Narrated Anas, may Allāh be pleased with him, that:

Allāh’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said: “None of you
becomes a believer till he loves me more than his children, his
father, and all mankind.”
Muslim
1. Faith or īmān consists of sayings, actions, and belief. This

faith can be increased by obedience of Allāh, and will
decrease as a result of disobeying Allāh.
2. Loving the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is
part of īmān.
3. It is necessary that we make the Prophet’s (peace be upon
him) love dearer to us than the love of anything. Whoever
loves the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) will
follow his Sunnah, and he will not invent anything in the
religion.

Exercise:
1. Why is it so important for us to love the Prophet even

more than we love ourselves?
2. In what ways do we demonstrate our love for the
Prophet?

Allāh’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said: “The world is a

prison for a believer and paradise for a non-believer.”
Muslim
1. A believer lives in this life as if he is a prisoner, therefore

he does not break the limits of Allāh.

2. A believer cannot do everything he desires.
3. A believer does the halāl things only.
4. The believers face hardship and difficulty in their lives.
5. Jannah for the kāfir is this life. Therefore, there will be no
Jannah for him in the hereafter.
6. The main worry of a kāfir is fulfilling his lusts, and he does
not care about halāl or harām.
7. A believer has to be patient with the hardships, and the
temptations of this life. And for him in the hereafter, inshā
Allāh, will be the Jannah.

throughout our lives.

that:
He heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) saying: “Whoever
amongst you notices something evil, should correct it with his own
hands, and if he is unable to do so, he should prohibit the same
with his tongue, if he is unable even to do this, he should at least
consider it as bad in his heart. This is the lowest degree of faith.”
Muslim
1. One of the main responsibilities of the individual Muslim is

to change the evil.
2. A Muslim is not supposed to participate in an evil deed.
3. Muslims are different in their abilities concerning changing
the evil deed.
4. Faith is in ranks. It increases through obedience to Allāh,
and decreases through disobedience to Allāh.
5. The true believer will object to the evil, at least with his
heart so he will stay away from the evil deed as well as the
doors leading to the evil deeds, otherwise he will expose
his faith to the possibility of being lost.

insight or conscience, which disturbs him when he does

such an act.
