Introduction
Praise be to Allah, Lord of
the worlds. Eternal Guardian of the heavens and
the earths, Disposer of all created beings,
Despatcher of Messengers (may the blessings and
peace of Allah be upon them all) who were sent to
those they have been entrusted to guide and to
reveal the religious laws to, with positive signs
and clear-cut proofs. I praise Him for His favours
and ask Him to increase His grace and generosity.
I bear witness that there is no god but Allah
alone, He having no associate, the One, the
Subduer, the Generous, the Pardoner, and I bear
witness that our master Muhammed is His servant
and His messenger, His dear one and His beloved,
the best of created beings, who was honoured with
the precious Quran, the enduring miracle through
the passing of the years, and with the sunnahs
that enlighten spiritual guides; our master
Muhammed, singled out for pithiness of speech and
tolerance in religion may the blessings and peace
of Allah be upon him, upon the rest of the
prophets and messengers, and upon all their
families and upon the rest of godly persons. To
proceed: It has been transmitted to us on the
authority of Ali bin Abi Talib, Abdullah bin
Masud, Muadh bin Jabal, Abu Al-Darda, Ibn Omar,
Ibn Abbas, Anas bin Malik, Abu Hurairah and Abu
Saeed Al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with them
all, through many chains of authorities and in
various versions, that the messenger of Allah
said: "Whosoever memorises and preserves for my
people forty hadith relating to their religion,
Allah will resurrect him on the Day of Judgment in
the company of jurists and religious scholars ".
In another version it reads: "Allah will resurrect
him as a jurist and religious scholar ". In the
version of Abu Al-Darda it reads: "On the Day of
Judgment I shall be an intercessor and a witness
for him". In the version of Ibn Masud it reads:
"It will be said to him: Enter by whichever of the
doors of Paradise you wish ". In the version of
Ibn Omar it reads: " He will be written down in
the company of the religious scholars and will be
resurrected in the company of the martyrs ".
Scholars of hadith are agreed that it is a weak
hadith despite its many lines of transmission. The
religious scholars, may Allah be pleased with
them, have composed innumerable works in this
field. The first one I knew of who did so was
Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak, followed by Ibn Aslam
Al-Tusi, the godly scholar, then Al-Hasan bin
Sufiyan Al-Nasai, Abu Bakr Al-Ajurri, Abu-Bakr
Mubammad bin Ibrahim Al-Asfihani, Al-Daraqutni,
Al-Hakim, Abu Nuaim, Abu Abd Al-Rahman Al-Sulami,
Abu Saeed Al-Malini, Abu Uthman Al-Saboni,
Abdullah bin Muhammed Al-Ansari, Abu Bakr
Al-Baihaqi, and countless others, both ancient and
modern. I have asked Allah Almightly for guidance
in bringing together forty hadith in emulation af
those eminant religious leaders and guardians of
Islam. Religious scholars are agreed it is
permissible to put into practice a weak hadith if
virtuous deeds are concerned; despite this, I do
not rely on this hadith but on his having said the
[ following ] sound hadith: "Let him who was a
witness among you inform him who was absent",
and on his having said : "May Allah make
radiant [the face of] someone who has heard what I
have said, has learnt it by heart and has
transmitted it as he heard it". Furthermore,
there were some religious scholars who brought
together forty hadiths on the basic rules of
religion, on subsidiary matters, or on jihad,
while others did so on asceticism, on rules of
conduct or on sermons. All these are godly
aims-may Allah be pleased with those who pursued
them. I, however, considered it best to bring
together forty hadith more important than all of
these, being forty hadith which would incolporate
all of these, each hadith being one of the great
precepts of religion, described by religious
scholars as being "the axis of Islam " or "the
half of Islam" or "the third of it ", or the like,
and to make it a rule that these forty hadith be
[classified as] sound and that the majority of
them be in the sahihs of Al-Bukhari and Muslim. I
give them without the chains of authorities so as
to make it easier to memorise them and to make
them of wider benefit if Allah Almighty wills, and
I append to them a section explaining abstruse
expressions.(Note here) every person wishing to
attain the Hereafter should know these hadith
because of the important matters they contain and
the directions they give in respect of all forms
of obedience, this being obvious to anyone who has
reflected upon it. On Allah do I rely and depend
and to Him do I entrust myself; to Him be praise
and grace, and with Him is success and immunity
[to errors].
Hadith #
1
On the authority of Omar
bin Al-Khattab, who said : I heared the messenger
of Allah salla Allah u alihi wa sallam say
:
"Actions are but by intention and every
man shall have but that which he intended. Thus he
whose migration was for Allah and His messenger,
his migration was for Allah and His messenger, and
he whose migration was to achieve some worldly
benefit or to take some woman in marriage, his
migration was for that for which he migrated."

Also on the authority of
Omar, who said : One day while we were sitting
with the messenger of Allah there appeared before
us a man whose clothes were exceedingly white and
whose hair was exceedingly black; no signs of
journeying were to be seen on him and none of us
knew him. He walked up and sat down by the
prophet. Resting his knees against his and placing
the palms of his hands on his thighs, he said:"O
Muhammed, tell me about Islam". The messenger of
Allah said: "Islam is to testify that there is no
god but Allah and Muhammed is the messenger of
Allah, to perform the prayers, to pay the zakat,
to fast in Ramadhan, and to make the pilgrimage to
the House if you are able to do so." He said:"You
have spoken rightly", and we were amazed at him
asking him and saying that he had spoken rightly.
He said: "Then tell me about eman."He
said:"It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His
books, His messengers, and the Last Day, and to
believe in divine destiny, both the good and the
evil thereof." He said:"You have spoken rightly".
He said: " Then tell me about ehsan." He
said: "It is to worship Allah as though you are
seeing Him, and while you see Him not yet truly He
sees you". He said: "Then tell me about the Hour".
He said: "The one questioned about it knows no
better than the questioner." He said: "Then tell
me about its signs." He said: "That the slave-girl
will give birth to her mistress and that you will
see the barefooted, naked, destitute herdsman
competing in constructing lofty buildings." Then
he took himself off and I stayed for a time. Then
he said: "O Omar, do you know who the questioner
was?" I said: "Allah and His messenger know best".
He said: "He was Jebreel (Gabriel), who came to
you to teach you your religion."

p "Verily the creation of
each one of you is brought together in his
mother's belly for forty days in the form of seed,
then he is a clot of blood for a like period, then
a morsel of flesh for a like period, then there is
sent to him the angel who blows the breath of life
into him and who is commanded about four matters:
to write down his means of livelihood, his life
span, his actions, and whether happy or unhappy.
By Allah, other than Whom there is no god, verily
one of you behaves like the people of Paradise
until there is but an arm's length between him and
it, and that which has been written over takes him
and so he behaves like the people of Hell-fire and
thus he enters it; and one of you behaves like the
people of Hell-fire until there is but an arm's

Al-Numan bin Basheer, who said : I heared the
messenger of Allah say :
"That which is
lawful is plain and that which is unlawful is
plain and between the two of them are doubtful
matters about which not many people know. Thus he
who avoids doubtful matters clears himself in
regard to his religion and his honor, but he who
falls into doubtful matters falls into that which
is unlawful, like the shepherd who pastures around
a sanctuary, all but grazing therein. Truly every
king has a sanctuary, and truly Allah's sanctuary
is His prohibitions. Truly in the body there is a
morsel of flesh which, if it be whole, all the
body is whole and which, if it be diseased, all of
it is diseased. Truly it is the heart."

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 you will not attain benefiting 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 become 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

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."
