The Forty Hadiths of al-Nawawi

2
00:00:05,780 --> 00:00:08,779
On the authority of Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him,

3
00:00:08,779 --> 00:00:14,779
from the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, regarding what he narrated from Allah, the Almighty and Majestic,

4
00:00:14,779 --> 00:00:16,780
that He said:

5
00:00:16,780 --> 00:00:18,579
"O My servants,

6
00:00:18,579 --> 00:00:22,179
I have forbidden injustice for Myself,

7
00:00:22,179 --> 00:00:25,379
and have made it forbidden among you,

8
00:00:25,379 --> 00:00:27,679
so do not oppress one another.

9
00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:29,280
O My servants,

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,280
all of you are astray except those whom I have guided,

11
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,280
so seek guidance from Me, and I shall guide you.

12
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:37,880
O My servants,

13
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,079
all of you are hungry except those whom I have fed,

14
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:45,479
so seek food from Me, and I shall feed you.

15
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,280
O My servants,

16
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,079
all of you are naked except those whom I have clothed,

17
00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:54,240
so seek clothing from Me, and I shall clothe you.

18
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,039
O My servants,

19
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,840
you commit sins by night and by day,

20
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,240
and I forgive all sins,

21
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,939
so seek My forgiveness, and I shall forgive you.

22
00:01:06,939 --> 00:01:08,340
O My servants,

23
00:01:08,340 --> 00:01:12,540
you will never be able to harm Me so as to cause Me harm,

24
00:01:12,540 --> 00:01:16,459
and you will never be able to benefit Me so as to cause Me benefit.

25
00:01:16,459 --> 00:01:18,260
O My servants,

26
00:01:18,260 --> 00:01:21,260
if the first of you and the last of you,

27
00:01:21,260 --> 00:01:23,659
and all of your humans and jinn,

28
00:01:23,659 --> 00:01:28,260
were to be as pious as the heart of a single man among you,

29
00:01:28,260 --> 00:01:32,659
that would not add anything to My kingdom.

30
00:01:32,659 --> 00:01:34,260
O My servants,

31
00:01:34,260 --> 00:01:37,060
if the first of you and the last of you,

32
00:01:37,060 --> 00:01:39,459
and all of your humans and jinn,

33
00:01:39,459 --> 00:01:43,260
were to be as wicked as the heart of a single man among you,

34
00:01:43,260 --> 00:01:47,620
that would not diminish anything from My kingdom.

35
00:01:47,620 --> 00:01:49,219
O My servants,

36
00:01:49,219 --> 00:01:52,219
if the first of you and the last of you,

37
00:01:52,219 --> 00:01:54,819
and all of your humans and jinn,

38
00:01:54,819 --> 00:01:59,019
were to stand in one place and ask of Me,

39
00:01:59,019 --> 00:02:02,819
and I were to give every person what they asked for,

40
00:02:02,819 --> 00:02:06,219
that would not diminish what I have,

41
00:02:06,219 --> 00:02:11,379
any more than a needle decreases the ocean when it is dipped into it.

42
00:02:11,379 --> 00:02:12,979
O My servants,

43
00:02:12,979 --> 00:02:16,979
it is only your deeds that I record for you,

44
00:02:16,979 --> 00:02:20,409
then I shall recompense you for them in full.

45
00:02:20,409 --> 00:02:24,009
So whoever finds good, let him praise Allah,

46
00:02:24,009 --> 00:02:26,409
and whoever finds otherwise,

47
00:02:26,409 --> 00:02:30,259
let him blame no one but himself."

48
00:02:30,259 --> 00:02:34,090
Narrated by Muslim.

49
00:02:34,090 --> 00:02:38,490
This hadith illustrates the vastness of Allah’s mercy and His justice,

50
00:02:38,490 --> 00:02:41,889
and that injustice is forbidden in all its forms.

51
00:02:41,889 --> 00:02:48,680
It is not permissible for a person to transgress against others regarding their rights, wealth, or honor.

52
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:54,680
It also emphasizes the complete dependence of the servants upon Allah for guidance, provision, and forgiveness,

53
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,680
and that all goodness lies in the hand of Allah alone.
