What is the 40 Nawawi Hadiths course?

This course is an explanation of the famous 40 hadith Nawawi book by Imam Abu Zakariyyah Muhyi ad-Deen ibn Sharaf an-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him). The hadiths give us a better understanding and a closer look at how the prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) lived his life.

The book consists of 42 hadiths, originally, twenty-six were collected by Ibn Salah (may Allah have mercy on him), and the remaining sixteen hadiths were added by Imam An Nawawi(may Allah have mercy on him).

In the introduction of the book Imam al Nawawi wrote:

“It has been related to us from Ali bin Abī Ṭālib, `Abdullāh bin Mas‘ūd, Mu‘ādh bin Jabal, Abūd-Dardā’, Ibn `Umar, Ibn ʽAbbās, Anas bin Mālik, Abū Hurayrah and Abū Sa`eed al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with them) through numerous chains with varied narrations that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “Whoever preserves for my nation forty ḥadīths concerning its religion – Allah will resurrect him on the Day of Resurrection among the jurists and scholars.” In one narration it says, “…Allah will resurrect him as a jurist and scholar,” and in that of Abūd-Dardā’, “…I will be for him, on the Day of Resurrection, an intercessor and a witness.” In the narration of Ibn Mas‘ūd it says, “…he will be told, ‘Enter by any of the doors of Paradise you wish,'” and in that of Ibn `Umar, “…he will be registered among the scholars and resurrected among the martyrs.” But ḥadīth scholars have agreed that it is a weak ḥadīth despite its many narrations.”

From this hadith, we can see the importance of learning and memorizing the hadiths of the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him).

 

At the end of the introduction of the 40 hadith Nawawi book, Imam An Nawawi wrote:

“Everyone desiring the Hereafter ought to know these ḥadīths for what they contain important information and because they alert one to all acts of obedience [to Allah], which is clear to whoever reflects upon it.”

 

Here’s One of the most touching hadiths that were mentioned in the 40 hadith Nawawi

On the authority of Anas, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessing be upon him) say: “Allah, the Exalted, has said, ‘O son of Ādam, as long as you supplicate Me and implore Me, I will forgive for you whatever issued from you, and I will not mind. O son of Ādam, even if your sins reached the clouds of the sky and then you sought My forgiveness, I would forgive you. O son of Ādam, even if you come to Me with nearly the earth’s capacity of sins and then meet Me without associating anything with Me, I will come to you with nearly its capacity of forgiveness.'”
