The Forty Hadiths of al-Nawawi

00:00:05.780 --> 00:00:08.779
On the authority of Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him,

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,

00:00:14.779 --> 00:00:16.780
that He said:

00:00:16.780 --> 00:00:18.579
"O My servants,

00:00:18.579 --> 00:00:22.179
I have forbidden injustice for Myself,

00:00:22.179 --> 00:00:25.379
and have made it forbidden among you,

00:00:25.379 --> 00:00:27.679
so do not oppress one another.

00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:29.280
O My servants,

00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:33.280
all of you are astray except those whom I have guided,

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:36.280
so seek guidance from Me, and I shall guide you.

00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:37.880
O My servants,

00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:42.079
all of you are hungry except those whom I have fed,

00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:45.479
so seek food from Me, and I shall feed you.

00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:47.280
O My servants,

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:51.079
all of you are naked except those whom I have clothed,

00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:54.240
so seek clothing from Me, and I shall clothe you.

00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.039
O My servants,

00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:59.840
you commit sins by night and by day,

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:03.240
and I forgive all sins,

00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.939
so seek My forgiveness, and I shall forgive you.

00:01:06.939 --> 00:01:08.340
O My servants,

00:01:08.340 --> 00:01:12.540
you will never be able to harm Me so as to cause Me harm,

00:01:12.540 --> 00:01:16.459
and you will never be able to benefit Me so as to cause Me benefit.

00:01:16.459 --> 00:01:18.260
O My servants,

00:01:18.260 --> 00:01:21.260
if the first of you and the last of you,

00:01:21.260 --> 00:01:23.659
and all of your humans and jinn,

00:01:23.659 --> 00:01:28.260
were to be as pious as the heart of a single man among you,

00:01:28.260 --> 00:01:32.659
that would not add anything to My kingdom.

00:01:32.659 --> 00:01:34.260
O My servants,

00:01:34.260 --> 00:01:37.060
if the first of you and the last of you,

00:01:37.060 --> 00:01:39.459
and all of your humans and jinn,

00:01:39.459 --> 00:01:43.260
were to be as wicked as the heart of a single man among you,

00:01:43.260 --> 00:01:47.620
that would not diminish anything from My kingdom.

00:01:47.620 --> 00:01:49.219
O My servants,

00:01:49.219 --> 00:01:52.219
if the first of you and the last of you,

00:01:52.219 --> 00:01:54.819
and all of your humans and jinn,

00:01:54.819 --> 00:01:59.019
were to stand in one place and ask of Me,

00:01:59.019 --> 00:02:02.819
and I were to give every person what they asked for,

00:02:02.819 --> 00:02:06.219
that would not diminish what I have,

00:02:06.219 --> 00:02:11.379
any more than a needle decreases the ocean when it is dipped into it.

00:02:11.379 --> 00:02:12.979
O My servants,

00:02:12.979 --> 00:02:16.979
it is only your deeds that I record for you,

00:02:16.979 --> 00:02:20.409
then I shall recompense you for them in full.

00:02:20.409 --> 00:02:24.009
So whoever finds good, let him praise Allah,

00:02:24.009 --> 00:02:26.409
and whoever finds otherwise,

00:02:26.409 --> 00:02:30.259
let him blame no one but himself."

00:02:30.259 --> 00:02:34.090
Narrated by Muslim.

00:02:34.090 --> 00:02:38.490
This hadith illustrates the vastness of Allah’s mercy and His justice,

00:02:38.490 --> 00:02:41.889
and that injustice is forbidden in all its forms.

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.

00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:54.680
It also emphasizes the complete dependence of the servants upon Allah for guidance, provision, and forgiveness,

00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:58.680
and that all goodness lies in the hand of Allah alone.
