FORTY HADEETHQUDSI

Introduction

The following is a collection of40 Hadeeth Qudsi. But what is Hadeeth Qudsi and how do they differ fromother Hadeeth? The following discussion is given in the introduction tothe book titled “Forty Hadeeth Qudsi” published by: Revival of IslamicHeritage Society, Islamic Translation Center, P.O.Box 38130, Aldahieh,Kuwait.

Hadeeth Qudsi are the sayings ofthe Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) asrevealed to him by the Almighty Allah. Hadeeth Qudsi (or SacredHadeeth) are so named because, unlike the majority of Hadeeth which areProphetic Hadeeth, their authority (Sanad) is traced back not to theProphet but to the Almighty.

Among the many definitions givenby the early scholars to Sacred Hadeeth is that of as-Sayyid ash-Sharifal-Jurjani (died in 816 A.H.) in his lexicon At-Tarifat where he says:”A Sacred Hadeeth is, as to the meaning, from Allah the Almighty; as tothe wording, it is from the messenger of Allah . It is thatwhich Allah the Almighty has communicated to His Prophet throughrevelation or in dream, and he, peace be upon him, has communicated itin his own words. Thus Qur’an is superior to it because, besides beingrevealed, it is His wording.”
