2. IMPORTANT
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta 31a has blessed Muhammad ~ with~
words of wisdom which are concise but comprehensive in meaning.
No language including English has the capacity to adequately
translate this all embracing wisdum
Under my personal supervision about 10 Ulema, Scholars and
their assistants with a good background of Arabic and Englisb have
contributed to this English translation of"Muntakhab Ahadith"
These men who have a prolonged association with the work of
Tabligh and have a deep insight as to the nature of the work have
diligently worked together to bring out a translation which I hope is
close to the meaning of the words of Hadith
The worldwide scope of the work ofTabligh makes it essential that in
every place only one translation be read. It is therefore requested that
no further attempts be made to translate this book into English
However, if at any place it is felt that the translation is not consistent
with the meaning of the Arabic text, kindly inform me. Inshallah I
will be pleased to try to make the necessary amendments

7. PREFACE PREFACE
PREFACE
All praises to the Sustainer of the worlds, and grace,
honour and salutations on the Chief of Apostles and Seal of
Prophets, Mul;arnrnad, his family, companions and those who
followed him in an excellent fashion and invited mankind
towards Allah, till the Day of Resurrection.
This is a reality which can be stated without any ambiguity
and exaggeration, that in the Islamic world of today the most
vigorous and effective, useful and all-encompassing effort, is
the struggle of the Tabl"ighl lama 'at whose center is situated at
the Tablfghf Markaz Nizamuddin, Delhi (Indiap). The scope of
this effort and its impact is not restricted to the Indian
subcontinent, or Asia, but extends to many continents and to a
host of Islamic and Non-Islamic states.
The history of such campaigns and revolutionary or
reformative movements shows that, after passage of a period of
time, or when the scope of the effort enlarges greatly (specially
when, by means of it, the attainment of certain advantages and
leadership becomes apparent) then such weaknesses, unwanted
objectives and neglect of the original goals set in, which reduce
or even totally wipe out the true influence of the work.
(I) In this assertion and testimony, there is no negation of the importance of all
those useful efforts and movements which cater to the reality and needs of the
present times. and which also create the ability to counter the prevailing trials
and tribulations. Here, the objective is only to acknowledge and highlight the
effectiveness and vastness of the efforts being made from the Tablfghi Da'wat
and its Movement, in a positive manner.
VB

8. PREFACE PREFACE
However, the Tabllghf effort (as far as the knowledge and
observations of the writer go) has, to a large extent been saved
from these tribulations up to now.
It is quite evident that the nature of this movement is based
on giving others priority over oneself (despite one's dire
needs), a passion for sacrifice, a quest for the pleasure of Allah,
a desire for reaping rewards in the Hereafter, respect and
honour of Islam and Muslims, humility and submissiveness to
Allah, the proper fulfillment of religious obligations, with a
desire for further advancement, a preoccupation with the
remembrance of Allah, refraining as far as humanly possible
from unprofitable and unnecessary preoccupations and
undertaking protracted journeys, while enduring all sorts of
hardships for the pleasure of Allah Sub:1anahil wa Ta 'ala, have
become a regular practice.
These special characteristics and distinctions of this work
are attributable to the sincerity of its first preacher (Sheikh
Muhammad Ilyas Rahmatullahi 'aIaihi), his preoccupation with
Allah, his prayers, struggle, sacrifice and, above all, the
acceptance of this work by Allah the Exalted. Beside this, it is
also a consequence of those principles and preconditions which
were declared essential by its first preacher, from its very
inception, and which he always insisted on and propagated. To
think about the meanings and responsibilities inherent in the
Kalimah, to acquire knowledge of the virtues of fulfilling all
forms of obligatory worship, a consciousness of the virtues of
knowledge and the remembrance of Allah aIong with a
preoccupation with the remembrance of Allah, respect for
Muslims with an appreciation and fulfillment of their rights, to
correct the motives behind every action, so that it is done
sincerely and solely for the pleasure of Allah; to refrain from
all that is irrelevant, and an enthusiasm and consciousness of
the virtues of travelling in the Path of Allah. These are those
elements and characteristics which have protected this
viii

9. PREFACE PREFACE
movement from becoming a political, material organization,
geared for obtaining material benefits, fame and authority, and
so it has remained a purely religious movement aimed at
attaining the pleasure of Allah.
These principles and elements, which have been
considered essential for this movement, have been derived
from the Qur'an and Sunnah. They serve as its guardians to
obtain the pleasure of Allah and protect Deen (religion); and
their sources are the Qur' an and Prophetic practices and
traditions.
There was thus a need that all the relevant Qur' anic verses
and AhadIth (Prophetic practices and sayings) be compiled in a
book. Praise be to Allah that the second preacher of this
movement of inviting towards righteousness, Sheikh
Mul)ammad Yusuf (son of the first preacher, Sheikh Ilyas
Rahmatullahi 'alaihi) who had a very profound and
comprehensive knowledge of books of Al)adIth, has collected
all the relevant principles, rules and precautions from their
original sources in the form of a book. He has been so
comprehensive and thorough that this book is not merely a
compilation of these principles, rules and instructions, but
perhaps an encyclopedia, in which, without being selective or
brief, all of these have been mentioned with their relative
importance. It is perhaps the will of Providence that the
writer's fortunate and worthy grandson Sheikh Sa'ad (May
Allah prolong his life and bless him with further works of this
nature), has assumed the responsibility of publishing this book
for general benefit. May Allah Ta 'ala grant acceptance to this
effort and service, and make it most beneficial. And this is not
hard for Allah. f-i<}11~~~~':;

10. INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Allah Sub1)anahii wa Ta'aIa says:
Indeed Allah conferred a great favour on the believers when He sent
among them a Messenger (Muhammad 1;)allalliihu 'alaihi wasalIam)
from amongst themselves (being human, people can easily benefit
from his distinguished qualities), reciting unto them His verses (by
means of these Qur'iinic verses, inviting them and advising them) and
purifying them (of sins and correcting their conduct) and teacheing
them the Book (Qur'iin) and AI-l,Iikmah (his Sunnah), before which
they were in manifest error. Ale-'lmmn 3: 164
In the context of the above verse, Sheikh Sayyad Sulaiman
Nadavi RaQmatullahi 'alaihi writes (in the preface of a book
about Sheikh MUQammad I1yas RaQmatullahi 'alaihi and his
religious movement) that Rasiilullah Sallallahu 'alaihi
wasallam was given the following Divine obligations of
prophethood: Invite towards Allah by reciting the verses of the
Qur'an; to purify people's undesirable traits; and to teach them
the Book and Wisdom (Sunnah),
It has been substantiated by the Qur'an and AJ;adfthe- SaMJ;a
(confirmed traditions) that the Ummah (followers) of the Last
of the Prophets, Sallallahu 'aJaihi wasallam, was Divinely
deputed for the guidance of all peoples (nations) of the world,

11. INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION
This verse clearly implies that the Muslim Ummah is the
deputy to the Prophet, in his ordained obligations of inviting
towards righteousness, enjoining good, and forbidding evil.
Hence, the obligations entrusted to Rasiilullah Sallallahu 'alaihi
wasallam - invitation through recitation of the Qur'an,
purifying people of undesirable qualities, and teaching the
Book and Wisdom - became the prime responsibilities of the
Muslim Ummah as well.
Therefore, Rasiilullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam taught his
Ummah to spend their life and wealth in inviting towards
Allah, learning and teaching Divine knowledge, remembering
and worshipping Allah. The Saoabah gave preference to the
above deeds over all worldly preoccupations. They were
trained to practice these A 'mal (actions) under all
circumstances with complete dedication, patience, and
forbearance, withstanding all forms of difficulties and
hardships. And they were taught to benefit others by
sacrificing physically and materially.
In compliance with the command:
1:.. '" Ii' '" :.~ ~). '" '"
~ .~lp.-J>- Alli J J~J
"' .. '" '" '" ...
And strive hard in Allah's cause, as you ought to strive,
AI-/:Iajj 22: 78
the Saoabah strove in the manner of prophets with piety,
austerity, discipline, self-sacrifice, and giving preference to
others. Thus, an environment was created in which emerged
models of excellence, who became the elite of the Ummah.
The era in which the deeds of RasUlullah Sallallahu 'alaihi
wasallam were collectively practiced by the Ummah was
declared to be the Khair-ul-Quriin (best of all the times, or the
best period of the Ummah).
Then in successive periods, the religious elite of the Ummah
spent their full effort and energy in fulfilling these Prophetic
obligations. The luminance of these self-sacrificing efforts is
still illuminating the world of Islam.
Xl

12. INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION
In recent times, Allah Sub!:Janahu wa Ta 'ala placed in the heart
of Sheikh Mu!:Jammad Ilyas Ra!:Jmatullahi 'alaihi a restlessness
and anxiety over the erosion in Islam and a burning desire to
correct this state of the Ummah. In the view of the religious
elite of his times he was unique in this respect. He used to
remain restless and concerned for the revival of all that was
revealed to RasUlullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, by Allah
Sub!:Janahu wa Ta 'ala, in the whole world. He advocated, with
resolute determination, that any effort for the revival of Deen
can only be effective and acceptable when it is done in the
manner of RasUlullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam.
Therefore, such Do'is (those who invite towards Islam) need to
be developed, whose desires should be consistent with the
knowledge, action, thought, perception, passion and
compassion of the Prophets. Not only should they posses a
strong Iman and virtuous deeds, but their inner aspirations and
their manner of invitation to Islam should be like those of
prophets. They should cherish a fervent love of Allah and His
fear, and a state of intimacy with Him.
In character and habits, they should adhere to the Sunnah of the
Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam. Their love or hatred
should be for the sake of Allah. The motivating factor behind
their inviting to Islam should be a deep compassion and mercy
for Muslims, and kindness for all the creation of Allah. The
oft-repeated Divine principle for prophets, "Our reward is
solely with Allah," should be their hallmark. They should have
no other objective except the pleasure of Allah.
They should have such a passionate desire for the revival of
Deen in the world that it keeps driving them, away of their
routines, in the Path of Allah; while their lives and wealth
become mere instruments in attaining this objective. There
should be no notion of personal authority, status, wealth,
property, honour and fame; not even a desire for personal rest
and comfort. Whether sitting, standing, speaking, or walking;
every act or move should be geared in this direction.
Xll

13. INTRODUCTION INTRODUC110N
To revive the ways of RasfllulHih ~allalIahu 'alaihi wasallam in
this effort and bring all facets of life according to the
Commandments of Allah Subl)anahii wa Ta'ala and the Sunnah
of RasUlullah ~allalHihu 'alaihi wasallam, and to equip those
struggling in this path with the above mentioned qualities, the
Six Points (of Tabl"igh) were prescribed. All the contemporary
scholars and religious elite supported and commended these six
qualities.
Sheikh Yiisuf Ral)matullahi 'alaihi, son of Sheikh Ilyas
Ral)matulIahi 'alaihi, dedicated his whole life, striving
relentlessly with a zeal directed to promote the work in this
direction and raise a group of workers equipped with these
qualities. These qualities have been derived from reputable
books of Al)adIth, biography, and history. He compiled a
three-volume book "l:layiit-u~'-Sahiibah" which gives a
representative glimpse of the life of RasiilulHih ~allallahu
'alaihi wasallam and his companions RaQiyalIahu 'anhum. By
the Grace of Allah, this book was published during his lifetime.
The Sheikh had compiled another book of l)adIth, Muntakhab
Ahad"ith, in respect of these six qualities (six points). However,
prior to the final compilation of this book, he left for his
heavenly abode. ;:,AI) ~l Gr; ~t G!
Sheikh Mul)ammad Yiisuf Ral)matullahi 'alaihi spoke to
numerous close friends and colleagues about this collection of
al)adlth. He used to thank Allah, in gratitude, and was well
pleased with this collection. Allah alone knows what
aspirations were in his heart and how he wanted to present the
collection, to make it illuminating and effective. However this
is how it was destined by AlIah.
By the Grace of Allah, the Urdu rendering of Muntakhab
Ahad"ith has already been presented (Jamadul-Awwal 1421 i.e.
September 2000). Now this collection of al:Jadlth with its
English translation is being presented. In translating this book,
it has been tried that the language remains simple and easy to
Xlll

14. INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION
grasp. For the clarification of the meanings of certain aJadIth,
some sentences have been added in brackets. Besides this,
some explanatory notes have also been added.
Since the Sheikh could not review the draft of the book,
considerable effort had to be made to correct the text of
aJadIth, and to make a critical analysis of the transmitters, and
to classify the al)adTth as Sa!zl!;, lfasan, or Da'if (technical
terms used in the classification of JadIth) and an explanation of
the difficult words of l)adIth. All the sources consulted have
been referred to at the end of the book.
All precautions were taken in accomplishing this task and a
group of scholars have substantially shared the burden. May
Allah Subl)anahil wa Ta 'ala bless all those associated with this
venture with an excellent recompense. However, human error
is always there. It is an earnest request to the scholars of Deen
that they may kindly inform us of any amendments that may be
needed. This collection was compiled by Sheikh Yilsuf
Ral)matullahi 'alaihi for a specific objective, the importance of
which has been adequately explained by Sheikh Sayyad Abul
Hasan 'Ali Nadavi Ral)matullahi 'alaihi. It is, therefore,
important to save this collection from any amendments or
brevity.
Allah SubJanahil wa Ta'ala appointed Prophets 'Alaihimus
Salam to disseminate His word and knowledge for the eternal
success of mankind. To benefit fully from these branches of
sublime knowledge, it is essential that fervent belief be built
according to this knowledge. While reading or listening to the
words of Allah or Rasillullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, one
should consider oneself completely ignorant. That is, belief in
human experiences and research should be replaced by the
belief in the unseen, and the heart should affirm that every
word, read or heard is the absolute truth.
Among the etiquettes of reciting or listening to the Qur'an is
that one should imagine that Allah SubJanahil wa Ta 'ala is
XlV

15. INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION
addressing him; similarly when one sits to read or listen to
!)adlth, one should think that RasiiluIHih SallalUihu 'alaihi
wasallam is directly addressing him. While reading or
listening, the effect of the words will be proportionate to the
greatness and respect that one has for Allah and his Prophet and
how attentive one is.

Abu Hurairah Ra<,liyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasiilullah i;lallallahu

angels strike their wings in fear and submission to His word. The
decree of their Rabb sounds to them like (the chimiug of) a chain ou a
smooth rock. When their hearts are relieved from fear, they ask one

Anas Rat;liyalliihu 'anhu narrates that whenever Nab! ;>allalliihu
'alaihi wasallam would say something (important) he wonld repeat
his words three times, so that they are understood.
Therefore, il will be proper to read a i)adHh lhree times. One
should be engaged in this knowledge with discipline,
suppressing ones personal desires. Practice to read and hear
attentively, lovingly and respectfully. Conversations in
between should be avoided. An attempt should be made to sit
with Wut;lu (ablution), in the position of Tashahhud, without
reclining. The objective is that the Qur'an and words of i)adHh
affect the heart. Such a fervent belief be built on the promises
of Allah and His Prophet that it creates an earnest longing for
Deen - the force which makes us perform every action
according to the Sunnah of Rasiilullah Sallallahu 'alaihi
wasallam, and to consult the scholars of Deen, for a systematic
guidance iil performing our deeds (actions) correctly.
I begin this book with an excerpt from the Preface of the book,

18. INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION
All praises be to Allah Sub1)anahl1 wa Ta 'ala, Who created
man, so that He may lavishly spend His bounties on him.
Bounties which do not exhaust with the passage of time. They
are from such treasures that never deplete by spending and that
are beyond human comprehension. In human beings, Allah has
hidden such jewels of inherent capabilities that, if found and
applied, will entitle him to benefit from the treasures of
Ar-Ral).man (The Most Beneficent). And by means of which he
can attain such success as to dwell eternally in Paradise.
Allah's salutations be upon Mu1)ammad Sallallahu 'alaihi
wasallam, the Chief of all Prophets and Apostles, the one
bestowed with the distinction of interceding for the sinful, and
the one sent as a mercy and blessing to mankind. Allah
Tabaraka wa Ta'ala had chosen him, to lead all Prophets and to
convey His message to mankind before creating the Pen and
the Preserved Tablet. He was selected to describe His bounties
and boundless treasures which can neither be counted nor
reckoned.
Allah disclosed to Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam those
branches of knowledge, relating to His Magnificent Self, which
were never unfolded to anyone. Allah revealed to him those of
His glorious and illustrious attributes, which were not disclosed
to anyone before; neither a close angel nor an Apostle. His
(The Prophet's) heart was opened and he was empowered with
the capability to comprehend all the hidden qualities placed in
men-qualities by means of which men can achieve a proximity
to Allah Ta'ala, and seek guidance in the affairs of this world
and the Hereafter.
Allah Sub1)anahl1 wa Ta'ala taught RasUlullah Sallallahu
'alaihi wasallam the ways of correcting the deeds of human
beings. Deeds which are continuously coming out from them
with every passing moment. The correction of deeds forms the
basis of success in this world and the Hereafter, and wrong
deeds result in deprivation and failure in both the worlds.

19. INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION
May Allah Sub1)anahu wa Ta 'ala be pleased with the
Sa1)abah Ra<;liyallahu 'anhum. They acquired from Nabi
Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam that most honourable and virtuous
knowledge which came out from the blessed niche of
prophecy. Knowledge which is so vast that it surpasses the
numbers of the leaves of trees and the drops of rain. Then they
committed it to their memory, and preserved it in the most
befitting manner. They accompanied the Prophet on journey
and at home, and participated in all his pre-occupations:
Da 'wah (preaching), Jihad (striving in the cause), 'Ibadah
(worship), and social affairs. Then they learned to practice
these deeds according to the Sunnah of RasUlullah Sallallahu
'alaihi wasallam in his company.
Blessed are the Sa1)abah, who acquired knowledge and its
application directly from RasUlullah SallalUihu 'alaihi
wasallam, without any intermediaries. Furthermore, they did
not restrict these branches of knowledge to themselves; rather
they conveyed this knowledge and wisdom to others - thus,
illuminating the universe with Divine knowledge and spiritual
prophetic deeds. As a result of their endeavours, the whole
world became a cradle of learning and scholarship. Men
became fountains of light and guidance; and they became the
standard bearers for establishing worship and Khilafat (the rule
of Allah on the earth).

IMAN
The literal meaning of [man is to believe in
someone's words relying solely on his authority.
In religious terms, it implies belief in the
Unseen relying solely on the authority of the
Messenger of Allah Sub1}anahu wa Ta'ala.
VERSES OF QUR'AN
Allah Sub!)anahu wa Ta'ala said to
His Prophet:
And We sent no Messenger before
you except that We revealed to

1. Abu Hurairah Ra<;liyallahu 'anhu narrates that RasUlullah
sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: lman (faith) has more than seventy
branches; the snperior most is the saying of La ilaha illal/ah (There
is none worthy of worship except Allah); and the inferior most is the
removal of an obstacle from the way; and lfaya is a branch of lman.
(Muslim)
Note: The essence of lfaya is that it restrains a man from evil and
prevents a man from neglecting the obligations that he owes to
others. (Riya<)-us-~alihln)

Rasiilalliih Sallalliihu 'alaihi wasallam saying: The best Ohikr
(remembrance of Allah) is La ilaha illallah, and the best Ou 'a
(supplication) is Al!wmdulillah (All praises be to Allah). (Tirmidhj)
Note: This Kalimah is the basis of the entire Oeen. Without the
belief in Kalimah, neither Iman (faith) nor Aa'mal (deeds) are
acceptable. All,iamdulillah (All praises be to Allah) is said to be the
best Ou'a because praising the One who is the most generous,
amounts to asking him for his help or favours. (Ma;oahir !:Iaque)

Vi ilaha illallah sincerely, the doors of the skies are opened (for it to
ascend) until it reaches the 'Arsh (Throne of Allah, and is readily
accepted) provided he abstains from major sins. (Tirmidhj)
Note: To say sincerely means that it is free from pretence and
hypocrisy. Abstaining from major sins ensures its rapid acceptance,
and even if it is recited without abstaining from the major sins, it is
still beneficial and rewarding. (Mirqat-ul-MaIat~)

amongst you, meaning thereby, the people of the Book? We said: No,
o Rasiilallah! He then asked us to shut the door and said: Raise your

(and recited the Kalimah). Afterwards Nab! SallalIahu 'alaihi wasallam
lowered his hand and said: Al!wmdulillah (All praise be to Allah). 0
Allah! Verily, You have sent me with this Kalimah and have ordered
me to convey it and have promised me Paradise on it, and verily, You
do not break Your Promise. He then said addressing the Sal)abah: Oh!

died believing in it, he surely entered Paradise. I asked: Even if he had
fornicated and even if he had stolen? He replied: Even if he had
fornicated and even if he had stolen. I again asked: Even if he had
fornicated and even if he had stolen? He repeated: Even if he had
fornicated and even if he had stolen. I asked the third time: Even if he
had fornicated and even if he had stolen? He emphasized: Even if he
had fornicated and even if he had stolen, despite your disapproval

o Abu Dhar! (Bukharj)
Note: Abu Dhar Ra(liyallahu 'anhu was surprised that despite such
major sins, how could a man enter Paradise while justice demanded
that he should be subjected to punishment Hence, Nab! Sallallahu
'alaihi wasallam said emphatically to remove his astonishment that
despite the disapproval of Abu Dhar, the man will enter Paradise;
implying that even though he may have done sins, but because of his
Iman he will turn with repentance and get his sins forgiven; or Allah
will, out of His Infinite Mercy, forgive him and send him to Paradise
without any punishment or after a punishment In any case, He will
eventually send him to Paradise, (Mu'ariful I:IadJth)

8. J:Iudhaifah Ra(liyalliihu 'anhu narrates that RasiJIullah SallalIahu
'alaihi wasallam said: Islam will gradually fade as the design on
cloth fades, until neither Siyam (fasting), nor Zakat (cf,Lfity) nor
Nusuk (religious devotion and sacrifice) will be known. In a certain
night, the Qur' an will be lifted from the hearts of men leaving not a
single verse on the earth, and only a few groups of people will
remain, of old men and old women, saying: We found our forefathers
reciting the Kalimah La iliiha illalliih, so we are reciting it Silah
ibne-Zufr said to J:Iudhiiifah Ra(liyallahu 'anhu: How will their
saying of La iliiha illalliih benefit them when they neither know
Siyam, nor Zakat, nor Nusuk? J:Iudhaifah Ra(liyallahu 'anhu evaded
him. So he repeated his question thrice, each time J:Iudhiiifah evaded
him. Then, after the third time, he turned and faced him saying: 0
Silah! It will indeed save them from the Fire. (Mustadrak I:Iakim)

14. Ibn-e-Shimasa Al Mahri Ral)imahullah narrates that we were
present with 'Amr ibnil-'A~ Ra<;liyallahu 'anhuma while he was in
the throes of death. He was weeping continously and turned his
face towards the wall. . At this, his son consoled him saying: a my
father! Has Rasillullah sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam not given you
such glad tidings? Has Rasillullah sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam not
given you such glad tidings? He then faced us and said: Verily the
most excellent thing that we prepare (for ourselves) is the testimony
of La iliiha illalliihu wa anna Muljammad ur Rasiilulliih (There is
none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Mul)ainmad is His
Messenger). Indeed I have passed my life through three phases.
The first phase was that there was no one more bitter in hatred
towards Rasillullah sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam than myself, and no
one more desiring to' seize an opportunity to kill him than myself!
And had I died in that state, I certainly would have been of the
people of the Fire. Then, Allah placed Islam in my heart, I came to
Rasillullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam and said: Give me

31. KALlMAHTAYY/BAH 10 lmiin
your right hand so that I may pledge allegiance to you. He extended
his right hand, but I withdrew my hand. At this, he asked: What
stops you 0 'Amr? I said: I want to make a condition. He said:
Make a condition of what? I said: That I be forgiven! He said: Did
you not know that (the acceptance ot) Islam eradicates the sins
committed before it and Hijrah (migration) eradicates the sins
committed before it and that fjajj (pilgrimage) eradicates the sins
committed before it.
And (thereafter) no one was more revered to me than Rasiilullah
.')allallahu 'alaihi wasallam. And I could not bear to fill my eyes
(with the sight) of him out of reverence for him. And if I were asked
to describe him, I would not be able to do so, as I never looked at
him to my fill; and had I died in that state, I would have been
hopefully amongst the people of Paradise. Afterwards, we were
given responsibilities regarding which I know not how I have fared.
(This was the third phase of my life) So when I die (see that) I am
not accompanied by a wailing woman, or a fire. When you have
buried me, mould the mud upon my grave (in the shape ot) a mound,
then remain standing around my grave for such time as it would take
to slaughter a camel and distribute its meat, so that I may feel solace
from you, while I see what reply I give to the messengers (angels) of
my Rabb. (Muslim)

Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam in a Hadith Qudsi narrated: When the
people of Paradise will have entered Paradise, and the people of the

it whosoever had in his heart Iman equal to the weight of a mustard
seed. Accordingly, they will be taken out from the Fire, having
being burnt and blackened. They will be cast into the River of Life
from where they shall sprout afresh, as a seed sprouts on the bank of
a torrential stream. Have you not seen how it comes out yellow and
curved? (BukhlirT)

lman is most trustworthy? He replied: Allah' Azza wa Jail, and His
Rasiil know best. He said: Friendship for the sake of Allah alone,
love for the sake of Allah alone and hatred for the sake of Aiiah
alone. (Baihagl)
Note: It means that from amongst the branches of lman, the most
lasting and invigorating is that, in one's dealings whether be it for
making or breaking ties, for love or hatred, one looks solely to the
pleasure of Aiiah and acts according to His Commandments, leaving
aside all his personal desires.

seem to be from the tribe of Kindah, Madh!)ij! When they reached
him, it became evident that they were, in fact, from Madh!)ij. One of
them came close to him to pledge allegiance. Upon taking the hand
of Rasiilullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, he said: 0 Rasiilallah!
What will be the reward for the one who has seen you and believes
in you and verifies (that which) you (have been sent with) and
follows you? Rasiilullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam replied: Good
tidings for him. So he passed his hand over the Prophet's haud and
left, having made his pledge. Then the other came forward and took
the Prophet's hand to pledge allegiance. He said: 0 Rasiilallah! The
one who believes in you, and verifies you and follows you, although

he had not seen you, what will he get? He replied: Good tidings to

28. Abu Musa Rac)iyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasiilullah sallallahu
'alaihi wasallam said: There are three types of people, who will have
a double reward: A man from among the people of the Book (Jew or
Christian), who believed in his Prophet and (also) believed in
Mui)ammad sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam; a slave when he fulfils his
duties to Allah as well as the duties to his master; and a master of a
woman-slave who brought her up in an excellent manner and
educated her with the best of knowledge and then set her free and
married her, for him is also a double reward. (BukhiirT)
Note: The objective of this padIth is to explain that a double reward
will be recorded in respect of each and everyone of their deeds,
compared with those of others. For example, if anyone offers saIat,
he will receive a tenfold reward and when anyone from these three
persons does the same action, his reward will be twenty-fold. (Ma?iihir

emanates from Iman. Meaning thereby, a hardy life with simple
clothes and giving up luxuries of life to such an extent that a person's
skin becomes dry. (Abu Dawiid)
Note: This does not mean that Iman is limited to a hardy life but
Iman encompasses within itself numerous distinguished qualities.

45. Makl)iil Ral)imahuWih narrated that a very old man, with
eyebrows drooping over his eyes, came and said: 0 Rasiilallah A
man who had betrayed, fornicated, and not left any wish or a
slightest desire (whether permitted or forbidden) but fulfilled it; if his
sins were distributed amongst the entire population of the world, they
would be destroyed thereby. Can his turning with repentance be
accepted? Rasiilul1ah SallaWihu 'alaihi wasallam asked: Have you
embraced Islam? He replied: As for me, I bear witness that there is
none worthy of worship except Allah, Alone, without partner, and
that Mu1]ammad is His slave and Messenger.
NabT Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Then, indeed Allah will keep
forgiving you and replacing your evil deeds with righteous ones as
long as you are faithful to the words of this Kalimah. At this, the old
man exclaimed: 0 Rasiilallah! And my betrayals and my
fornication? NabT Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam replied: And your
betrayals and your fornication. The old man then turned and left
saying (out of sheer joy): Allallli Akbar, La ilaha il/al/ah. (Tal'sir ibn
Kathir)

heard RasiilulJah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasaJlam saying: Indeed Allah
will summon a man from my Ummah in the presence of the entire
creation on the Day of Resurrection and ninety-nine scrolls (of evil
deeds) wil1 be unrolIed in front of him, while each scroll (length)
being as far as the eye can see. He (Allah) wil1 ask: Do you deny

43. KALlMAH TAYYIBAH 22 [man
anything (written) here? Have My scribes done any injustice to you?
He will say: No, my Rabb. Allah will say: Have you got any excuse
for it? He will reply: No, my Rabb. Allah will say: We have with us
a good deed of yours, and verily, today no injustice will be done to
you. Then a piece of paper will be brought forth written therein will
be these words:
4i.:?))O~ 1~~¥fJ~~1I ~~41~i§~t ¥t
I hear witness that there is none worthy of worship except
Allah, and I hear witness that MOJ;mmmad is His slave and
Messenger.
Then Allah will say: Go and have it weighed. He will say: 0 my
Rabb, what is (the weight of) this paper as compared to all of these
scrolls? Allah will say: Indeed there will be no injustice to you. The
scrolls will then be placed in one pan (of the scale) and the piece of
paper in the other pan. Thereupon, compared to the weight of the
piece of paper, the pan of scrolls will begin to fly. And nothing can
outweigh the name of Allah. (TirmidhT)

47. Abu 'Amrah Al AnsarI Racjiyallahu 'anhu narrates that NabI
Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: I bear witness that there is none
worthy of worship except Allah, and that I am His Messenger. Any
slave (of Allah) who meets Allah with this belief, this Kalimah will
keep him away from Fire on the Day of Resurrection. In another
narration: Anyone who meets Allah on the day of Judgement
testifying these two, (Oneness of Allah and Prophethood of
Muljammad Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam) shall enter Paradise, despite
all his sins. (Musnad Af:lrnad, TubaranL Majma-'uz-Zawaid)
Note: Commentators in the light of this and similar a1)adIth state that
such a person will enter into Paradise either his sins being forgiven
by the Mercy of Allah or after he has withstood punishment.
