Hadith Qudsi 1:
On the authority of Abu
Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah
(PBUH)
said:
When Allah decreed the
Creation He pledged Himself by writing in His book which is laid down with Him:
My
mercy prevails over my wrath.
It was related by Muslim
(also by al-Bukhari, an-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah).
Hadith Qudsi 2:
On the authority of Abu
Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah
(PBUH)
said: Allah Almighty has
said:
The son of Adam denied Me and
he had no right to do so. And he reviled Me and he had no right to do so. As
for
his denying Me, it is his
saying: He will not remake me as He made me at first (1) - and the initial
creation [of him]
is no easier for Me than
remaking him. As for his reviling Me, it is his saying: Assah has taken to
Himself a son,
while I am the One, the
Everlasting Refuge. I begot not nor was I begotten, and there is none
comparable to Me.
(1) i.e., bring me back to life
after death.
It was related by al-Bukhari
(also by an-Nasa'i).
Hadith Qudsi 3:
On the authority of Zayd ibn
Khalid al-Juhaniyy (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
The Messenger of Allah (may
the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) led the morning prayer for us at
al-Hudaybiyah following
rainfall during the night. When the Prophet (may the blessings and peace of
Allah be
upon him) finished, he faced
the people and said to them: Do you know what your Lord has said? They said:
Allah and his Messenger know
best. He said: This morning one of my servants became a believer in Me and one
a disbeliever. As for him who
said: We have been given rain by virtue of Allah and His mercy, that one is a
believer in Me, a disbeliever
in the stars (2); and as for him who said: We have been given rain by
such-and-such
a star, that one is a
disbeliever in Me, a believer in the stars.
(2) The pre-Islamic Arabs
believed that rain was brought about by the movement of stars. This Hadith
draws
attention to the fact that
whatever be the direct cause of such natural phenomena as rain, it is Allah the
Almighty
who is the Disposer of all things.
It is related by al-Bukhari
(also by Malik and an-Nasa'i).
Hadith Qudsi 4:
On the authority of Abu
Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah
(PBUH)
said: Allah said:
Sons of Adam inveigh against
[the vicissitudes of] Time, and I am Time, in My hand is the night and the day
(1).
(1) As the Almighty is the
Ordainer of all things, to inveigh aginst misfortunes that are part of Time is
tantamount
to inveighing against Him.
It was related by al-Bukhari (also by
Muslim).
Hadith Qudsi 5:
On the authority of Abu
Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah
(PBUH)
said: Allah (glorified and
exalted be He) said:
I am so self-sufficient that
I am in no need of having an associate. Thus he who does an action for someone
else's sake as well as Mine
will have that action renounced by Me to him whom he associated with Me.
It was related by Muslim
(also by Ibn Majah).
Hadith Qudsi 6:
On the authority of Abu
Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the Messenger of
Allah
(PBUH) say:
The first of people against
whom judgment will be pronounced on the Day of Resurrection will be a man who
died
a martyr. He will be brought
and Allah will make known to him His favours and he will recognize them. [ The
Almighty] will say: And what
did you do about them? He will say: I fought for you until I died a martyr. He
will
say: You have lied - you did
but fight that it might be said [of you]: He is courageous. And so it was said.
Then he
will be ordered to be dragged
along on his face until he is cast into Hell-fire. [Another] will be a man who
has
studied [religious] knowledge
and has taught it and who used to recite the Quran. He will be brought and
Allah
will make known to his His
favours and he will recognize them. [The Almighty] will say: And what did you
do
about them? He will say: I
studied [religious] knowledge and I taught it and I recited the Quran for Your
sake. He
will say: You have lied - you
did but study [religious] knowledge that it might be said [of you]: He is
learned. And
you recited the Quran that it
might be said [of you]: He is a reciter. And so it was said. Then he will be
ordered to
be dragged along on his face
until he is cast into Hell-fire. [Another] will be a man whom Allah had made
rich and
to whom He had given all
kinds of wealth. He will be brought and Allah will make known to his His
favours and he
will recognize them. [The
Almighty] will say: And what did you do about them? He will say: I left no path
[untrodden] in which You like
money to be spent without spending in it for Your sake. He will say: You have
lied -
you did but do so that it
might be said [of you]: He is open-handed. And so it was said. Then he will be
ordered to
be dragged along on his face
until he is cast into Hell-fire.

Hadith Qudsi 7:
On the authority of Uqbah ibn
Amir (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the messenger of Allah
(PBUH) say:
Your Lord delights at a
shepherd who, on the peak of a mountain crag, gives the call to prayer and
prays. Then
Allah (glorified and exalted
be He) say: Look at this servant of Mine, he gives the call to prayer and
performs the
prayers; he is in awe of Me.
I have forgiven My servant [his sins] and have admitted him to Paradise.
It was related by an-Nasa'i
with a good chain of authorities.
Hadith Qudsi 8:
On the authority of Abu
Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (PBUH), who said:
A prayer performed by someone
who has not recited the Essence of the Quran (1) during it is deficient (and he
repeated the word three
times), incomplete. Someone said to Abu Hurayrah: [Even though] we are behind
the
imam? (2) He said: Recite it
to yourself, for I have heard the Prophet (may the blessings and peace of Allah
be
up on him) say: Allah (mighty
and sublime be He), had said: I have divided prayer between Myself and My
servant into two halves, and
My servant shall have what he has asked for. When the servant says: Al-hamdu
lillahi rabbi l-alamin (3),
Allah (mighty and sublime be He) says: My servant has praised Me. And when he
says:
Ar-rahmani r-rahim (4), Allah
(mighty and sublime be He) says: My servant has extolled Me, and when he says:
Maliki yawmi d-din (5), Allah
says: My servant has glorified Me - and on one occasion He said: My servant has
submitted to My power. And
when he says: Iyyaka na budu wa iyyaka nasta in (6), He says: This is between
Me
and My servant, and My
servant shall have what he has asked for. And when he says: Ihdina s-sirata l-
mustaqim, siratal ladhina an
amta alayhim ghayril-maghdubi alayhim wa la d-dallin (7), He says: This is for
My
servant, and My servant shall
have what he has asked for.
(1) Surat al-Fatihah, the
first surah (chapter) of the Qur'an.
(2) i.e. standing behind the
imam (leader) listening to him reciting al-Fatihah.
(3) "Praise be to Allah,
Lord of the Worlds."
(4) "The Merciful, the
Compassionate".
(5) "Master of the Day
of Judgement".
(6) "It is You we

(7) "Guide us to the
straight path, the path of those upon whom You have bestowed favors, not of
those against
whom You are angry, nor of
those who are astray".

Hadith Qudsi 9:
On the authority of Abu
Harayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (PBUH), who said:
Allah
(mighty and sublime be He)
says:
The fist of his actions for
which a servant of Allah will be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection
will be his
prayers. If they are in
order, then he will have prospered and succeeded: and if they are wanting, then
he will
have failed and lost. If
there is something defective in his obligatory prayers, the Lord (glorified and
exalted be
He) will say: See if My
servant has any supererogatory prayers with which may be completed that which
was
defective in his obligatory
prayers. Then the rest of his actions will be judged in like fashion.
It was related by at-Tirmidhi
(also by Abu Dawud, an-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah and Ahmad).
Hadith Qudsi 10:
On the authority of Abu
Harayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (PBUH), who said:
Allah
(mighty and sublime be He)
says:
Fasting is Mine and it I who
give reward for it. [A man] gives up his sexual passion, his food and his drink
for my
sake. Fasting is like a
shield, and he who fasts has two joys: a joy whin he breaks his fast and a joy
when he
meets his Lord. The change in
the breath of the mouth of him who fasts is better in Allah's estimation than
the
smell of musk.
It was related by al-Bukhari (also by
Muslim, Malik, at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah).
Hadith Qudsi 11:
On the authority of Abu
Harayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (PBUH), who said:

Adam, and I shall spend on you.

Mas'ud al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger
of Allah
(may the blessings and peace

A man from among those who
were before you was called to account. Nothing in the way of good was found for
him except that he used to
have dealings with people and, being well-to-do, he would order his servants to
let off
the man in straitened
circumstances [from repaying his debt]. He (the Prophet p.b.u.h) said that
Allah said: We
are worthier than you of that
(of being so generous). Let him off.

(also by al-Bukhari and an-Nasa'i).
Hadith Qudsi 13:
On the authority of Adiyy ibn
Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
I was with the Messenger of
Allah (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and there came to him
two men: one of them was
complaining of penury (being very poor), while the other was complaining of
brigandry
(robbery). The Messenger of
Allah (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: As for brigandry,
it
will be but a short time
before a caravan will [be able to] go out of Mecca without a guard. As for
penury, the
Hour (Day of Judgement) will
not arrive before one of you takes his charity around without finding anyone to
accept it from him. Then (1)
one of you will surely stand before Allah, there being no screed between Him
and
him, nor an interpreter to
translate for him. Then He will say to him: Did I not bring you wealth? And he
will say:
Yes. Then He will say: Did I
not send to you a messenger? And he will say: Yes. And he will look to his
right and
will see nothing but
Hell-fire, then he will look to his left and will see nothing but Hell-fire, so
let each of you
protect himself against
Hell-fire, be it with even half a date - and if he finds it not, then with a
kind word.
(1) i.e. at the time of the
Hour. It was related by al-Bukhari.
Hadith Qudsi 14:
On the authority of Abu
Harayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (PBUH), who said:
Allah (glorified and exalted
be He) has supernumerary angels who rove about seeking out gatherings in which
Allah's name is being
invoked: they sit with them and fold their wings round each other, fillin that
which is
between them and between the
lowest heaven. When [the people in the gathering] depart, [the angels] ascend
and rise up to heaven. He
(the Prophet p.b.u.h.) said: Then Allah (mighty and sublime be He) asks them -
[though] He is most knowing
about them: From where have you come? And they say: We have come from
some servants of Yours on
Earth: they were glorifying You (Subhana llah), exalting you (Allahu akbar),
witnessing that there is no
god but You (La ilaha illa llah), praising You (Al-Hamdu lillah), and asking
[favours] of
You. He says: And what do
they ask of Me? They say: They ask of You Your Paradise. He says: And have they
seen My Paradise? They say:
No, O Lord. He says: And how would it be were they to have seen My Paradise!
They say: And they ask
protection of You. He says: From what do they ask protection of Me? They say:
From
Your Hell-fire, O Lord. He
says: And have they seen My Hell-fire? They say: NO. He says: And how would it
be
were they to have seen My
Hell-fire: They say: And they ask for Your forgiveness. He (the Prophet
p.b.u.h) said:
Then He says: I have forgiven
them and I have bestowed upon them what they have asked for,and I have
granted them sanctuary from
that from which they asked protection. He (the Prophet p.b.u.h) said: They say:
O
Lord, among then is
So-and-so, a much sinning servant, who was merely passing by and sat down with
them. He
(the Prophet p.b.u.h) said:
And He says: And to him [too] I have given forgiveness: he who sits with such
people
shall not suffer.
It was related by Muslim
(also by al-Bukhari, at-Tirmidhi, and an-Nasa'i).
Hadith Qudsi 15:
On the authority of Abu
Harayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Prophet (PBUH)
said: Allah
the Almighty said:
I am as My servant thinks I
am (1). I am with him when he makes mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to
himself, I make mention of
him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of
him
in an assemble better than
it. And if he draws near to Me an arm's length, I draw near to him a fathom's
length.
And if he comes to Me
walking, I go to him at speed.
(1) Another possible
rendering of the Arabic is: "I am as My servant expects Me to be".
The meaning is that
forgiveness and acceptance of
repentance by the Almighty is subject to His servant truly believing that He is
forgiving and merciful.
However, not to accompany such belief with right action would be to mock the
Almighty.
It was related by al-Buhkari
(also by Muslim, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn-Majah).
Hadith Qudsi 16:
On the authority of son of
Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), from the Messenger of Allah
(PBUH),
among the sayings he related
from his Lord (glorified and exalted be He) is that He said:
Allah has written down the
good deeds and the bad ones. Then He explained it [by saying that] he who has
intended a good deed and has
not done it, Allah writes it down with Himself as a full good deed, but if he
has
intended it and has done it,
Allah writes it down with Himself as from ten good deeds to seven hundred
times, or
many times over. But if he
has intended a bad deed and has not done it, Allah writes it down with Himself
as a full
good deed, but if he has
intended it and has done it, Allah writes it down as one bad deed.
It was related by al-Bukhari

Hadith Qudsi 17:
On the authority of Abu Dharr
al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (PBUH) is that
among
the sayings he relates from
his Lord (may He be glorified) is that He said:
O My servants, I have
forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden amongst you, so do
not
oppress one another. O My
servants, all of you are astray except for those I have guided, so seek
guidance of
Me and I shall guide you, O
My servants, all of you are hungry except for those I have fed, so seek food of
Me
and I shall feed you. O My
servants, all of you are naked except for those I have clothed, so seek
clothing of Me
and I shall clothe you. O My
servants, you sin by night 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 will not
attain
benefitting 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 be 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 human of you and the jinn of you
to be
as wicked as the most wicked
heart of any one man of you, that would not decrease My kingdom in anything. O
My servants, were the first
of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to rise up in
one place
and make a request of Me, and
were I to give everyone what he requested, that would not decrease what I have,
any more that a needle
decreases the sea if put into it. O My servants, it is but your deeds that I
reckon up for
you and then recompense you
for, so let him finds good praise Allah and let him who finds other that blame
no
one but himself.

On the authority of Abu
Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah

said: Allah (mighty and
sublime be He) will say on the Day of Resurrection:
O son of Adam, I fell ill and
you visited Me not. He will say: O Lord, and how should I visit You when You
are the
Lord of the worlds? He will
say: Did you not know that My servant So-and-so had fallen ill and you visited
him
not? Did you not know that
had you visited him you would have found Me with him? O son of Adam, I asked
you
for food and you fed Me not. He will say: O
Lord, and how should I feed You when You are the Lord of the
worlds? He will say: Did you
not know that My servant So-and-so asked you for food and you fed him not? Did
you not know that had you fed
him you would surely have found that (the reward for doing so) with Me? O son
of
Adam, I asked you to give Me
to drink and you gave Me not to drink. He will say: O Lord, how should I give
You
to drink whin You are the
Lord of the worlds? He will say: My servant So-and-so asked you to give him to
drink
and you gave him not to
drink. Had you given him to drink you would have surely found that with Me.

saying: Allah
loves So-and-so, therefore
love him. And the inhabitants of heaven love him. He (the Prophet pbuh) said:
Then
acceptance is established for
him on earth. And if Allah has abhorred a servant [of His], He calls Gabriel

Whosoever shows enmity to
someone devoted to Me, I shall be at war with him. My servant draws not near to
Me with anything more loved
by Me than the religious duties I have enjoined upon him, and My servant
continues
to draw near to Me with
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. I do not
hesitate about anything as much as I hesitate about [seizing] the soul of My
faithful servant:
he hates death and I hate
hurting him.

Hadith Qudsi 26:
On the authority of Abu
Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah
(PBUH)
said: Allah (mighty and
sublime be He) said:
Truly of those devoted to Me
the one I most favour is a believer who is of meagre means and much given to
prayer, who has been
particular in the worship of his Lord and has obeyed Him inwardly (1), who was
obscure
among people and not pointed
our, and whose sustenance was just sufficient to provide for him yet he bore
this
patiently. Then the Prophet
(pbuh) rapped his hand and said: Death will have come early to him, his
mourners
will have been few, his
estate scant.
(1) i.e. he has not been
ostentatious in his obedience.

Hadith Qudsi 27:
On the authority of Masruq,
who said:
We asked Abdullah (i.e. Ibn
Masud) about this verse: And do not regard those who have been killed in the
cause
of Allah as dead, rather are
they alive with their Lord, being provided for (Quran Chapter 3 Verse 169). He
said:
We asked about that and the
Prophet (pbuh) said: Their souls are in the insides of green birds having
lanterns
suspended from the Throne,
roaming freely in Paradise where they please, then taking shelter in those
lanterns.
So their Lord cast a glance
at them (1) and said: Do you wish for anything? They said: What shall we wish
for
when we roam freely in
Paradise where we please? And thus did He do to them three times. When they say
that
they would not be spared from
being asked [again], they said: O Lord, we would like for You to put back our
souls into our bodies so that
we might fight for Your sake once again. And when He saw that they were not in
need of anything they were
let be.
(1) i.e. at those who had
been killed in the cause of Allah.

Hadith Qudsi 28:
On the authority of Jundub
ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of
Allah
(PBUH) said:
There was amongst those
before you a man who had a wound. He was in [such] anguish that he took a knife
and made with it a cut in his
hand, and the blood did not cease to flow till he died. Allah the Almighty
said: My

the
world and he has then borne
it patiently for My sake, shall be nothing less than Paradise.

Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah
(PBUH)
said: Allah (mighty and
sublime be He) said:
If My servant likes to meet
Me, I like to meet him; and if he dislikes to meet Me, I dislike to meet him.
Prophetic
explanation of this Sacred
Hadith: He who likes to meet Allah, Allah likes to meet him; and he who
dislikes to
meet Allah, Allah dislikes to
meet him. Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Prophet of Allah, is
it
because of the dislike of
death, for all of us dislike death? The Prophet (pbuh) said: It is not so, but
rather it is that
when the believer is given
news of Allah's mercy, His approval and His Paradise, he likes to meet Allah
and
Allah likes to meet him; but
when the unbeliever is given news of Allah's punishment and His displeasure, he
dislikes to meet Allah and
Allah dislikes to meet him.
It was related by al-Bukhari
and Malik. The Prophetic version is related by Muslim.
