HADITH SHARIF
SAYINGS OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD

Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam
(may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)

The Sayings of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam) are called his Hadith.

The Companions (Sahaba) of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam) have narrated his Hadith.

These Hadith have been compiled in Books of Hadith.

There are six major Books of Hadith.

They are Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah and An-Nasai.

They contain thousands of Hadith.

From the Books of Hadith, we also learn what Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam) did.

What he did is called his Sunnah.

We try to follow his Sunnah.

From the Books of Hadith, we learn about the simple life of the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam) and of his Family and Companions (Rady Allahu Anhum).

We learn about the hardships they faced and the sacrifices they made in spreading the religion of Islam.

The lady who narrated the most Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam) was his wife Sayyidatina Aisha Siddiqah (Rady Allahu Anha).

The man who narrated the most Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam) was Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Rady Allahu Anhu).

The Hadith teach us in more detail what Allah has taught in the Qur’an.

The Hadith teach us in more detail about many things such as:

the Pillars of Islam

the Pillars of Muslim Faith

halal (what is permitted)

haram (what is prohibited)

heaven and hell.

There is a Hadith that whoever believes in the Kalima Tayyibah with a true heart will certainly go to Jannah (Paradise).

There is a Hadith that Allah has ninety-nine Names and whoever memorizes them all, will go to Jannah (Paradise).

There is a Hadith that if one recites the fifth Kalima Sayyid-ul-Istighfar in the morning and dies before the evening will go to Jannah and whoever recites it at night and dies before the morning will also go to Jannah.

This Hadith teaches us about the importance of good behaviour.

Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Rady Allahu Anhu) related that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam) said: The most perfect Muslim in the matter of faith is one who has an excellent behaviour, and the best among you are those who are best towards their wives. (Tirmidhi).

Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam) has taught us many things in his Hadith. Some of the things he has taught us are:

to become properly educated

to obey, respect and take care of parents

to have good relations with the family, with brothers and sisters, and all the relatives

to have good manners and good character

to dress decently

to be kind and merciful

to be friendly and to greet everyone with a smile

not to lie and cheat

to recite salawaat (blessings) on Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam), may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him.

We learn a lot from the Hadith Sharif of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam). We learn for example what to say on various occasions.

When starting to do something, say: Bismillah (In the Name of Allah)

When you finish eating or drinking, say: Al-Hamdu Lillah (All Praise is for Allah)

When entering a house, greet with: As-salamu alaykum (peace be upon you)

Reply to the greeting with: Wa alaykum-us-salam (and peace be upon you too)

When intending to do something, say: In shaa Allah (if Allah Wills)

When something is being praised, say: Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah)

When expressing appreciation, say: Maa shaa Allah (whatever Allah Wishes)

When thanking someone, say: Jazakallah (may Allah reward you)

When awakening from sleep, say: Laa ilaha Illallah (None is to be worshipped but Allah)

When repenting from a sin, say: Astaghfirullah (I beg forgiveness from Allah)

When giving in charity, say: Fi Sabilillah (in the Way of Allah)

When a death message is received, say: Inna Lillahi wa inna Ilayhi rajiun (indeed, we are for Allah and indeed to Him we shall return)

When having love for someone, say: Li Hubbillah (for the love of Allah)

When getting married, say: Amantu Billah (I believe in Allah)

When parting from someone, say: Fi Amanillah (may you be in the protection of Allah)

When a problem appears, say: Tawakkaltu ‘Alallah (my complete trust is in Allah)

When in pain or distress, say: Yaa Allah (O Allah)

When pleasantness appears, say: Fa Tabarakallah (so, blessed is Allah)

When unpleasantness occurs, say: Naudhu Billah (we seek refuge in Allah)

When you sneeze, say: Al-Hamdu Lillah (All Praise is for Allah)

When someone sneezes, say: Yarhamukallah (may Allah have mercy on you)

When participating in prayer, say Amin (O Allah! Answer our prayers).

We should follow the Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam) because they teach us how to obey Allah, how to lead a good life and be good Muslims.

We should follow both the Qur’an and the Hadith Sharif of the beloved Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam).
