Most Ahadith are the sayings, deeds, and approvals of the Prophet ﷺ under divine guidance, and their authority is traced to him. A small number are different.
What Makes Them Qudsi
In Ahadith Qudsi — sacred Ahadith — the authority is attributed to Allah, conveyed through the Prophet ﷺ. The words are the Prophet's ﷺ; the statement is Allah's.
That places them in a category of their own: not Quran, since the Quran is Allah's word in wording as well as meaning, but nearer to it than an ordinary narration. They are among the most affecting texts in the entire tradition for exactly that reason.
What This Collection Covers
110 such Ahadith relating to the important aspects of daily life, chosen so that readers may benefit from them for success in this life and in the Hereafter.
The subjects are the ones the Qudsi narrations are known for — Allah's mercy, His nearness to those who turn to Him, what He says about the one who remembers Him, and what awaits those who oppress others.
Who It Is For
Any reader. These are short, self-contained, and among the most quoted texts in Islamic literature — and a collection of them is one of the more rewarding small books a person can own.
