The Word "Hadith"

The Arabic word Hadith, which in European languages is most often translated as "traditions," means message or story. Hadith are not only information about religious life but also historical narratives, whether sacred or profane, whether referring to a time far-removed or more recent (1). This is the literal meaning of the word Hadith. Every traditional text which, in accordance with certain rules, can be directly attributed to the Prophet Muhammad, is an approved Hadith - a binding report about his sayings or actions.

Every Hadith consists of a statement about the chain of tradition (isnad) and the actual text. As an example:

Ismail b. Ibrahim spoke with us. He said: "Abu Haiyani't-Taimi told us about Abu Zar'a who commented from Abu Hurayra who said: `The Prophet - Allah bless him and grant him salvation - was among the people one day. Then Gabriel came and asked him about the Faith'" (2).

From this example, it follows that the authenticity of an Islamic tradition depends upon the succession and reliable character of the commentators. Out of necessity, its authority is connected with those who passed it down.

Sunna, a word which is frequently used as a synonym for Hadith, means "path, lifestyle, and manners." It is concerned primarily with the deeds and habits of Muhammad. Every Muslim is obliged legally to adopt (to copy) the lifestyle of his Prophet - a lifestyle which has been thoroughly described in the traditions. Muslims endeavoured to preserve reports about this lifestyle (3).

A very large part of these Hadith-sayings, attributed to the Prophet, deal with ahkam ("the legal requirements and religious duties") and define halal or haram; that is, "what is allowed or forbidden." They describe ritual purity, dietary laws, penalties, and civil rights. They also deal with courtesy and good manners. Furthermore, they comment on dogma, retribution on the Day of Judgement, and explain Hell, Paradise, angels, the Creation, revelation, the earlier prophets, and everything concerning the relationship between God and man. Many traditions also include encouraging sayings and ethical instruction in the name of the Prophet.

Hadith Qudsi 25:

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Allah (mighty and sublime be He) said:

Whosoever shows enmity to someone devoted to Me, I shall be at war with him. My servant draws not near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have enjoined upon him, and My servant continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him.

When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks.

Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it.

I do not hesitate about anything as much as I hesitate about [seizing] the soul of My faithful servant: he hates death and I hate hurting him.

Best Times to make Dua (Supplication)

There are certain times dua (supplication)

is more likely to be accepted by Allah (SWT)

as mentioned by Prophet (SAW). These

times are as follows:

1. The Last Third Of The Night

Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that Allah’s

Messenger (SAW) said: 'In the last third

of every night our Rabb (Cherisher and

Sustainer) (Allah (SWT)) descends to the

lowermost heaven and says; "Who is

calling Me, so that I may answer him?

Who is asking Me so that may I grant

him? Who is seeking forgiveness from

Me so that I may forgive him?."'

[Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith Qudsi]

Amr ibn Absah narrated that the

Prophet said: 'The closest any

worshipper can be to His Lord is

during the last part of the night,

so if you can be amongst those

who remember Allah at that time,

then do so.'[at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa'i,

al-Hakim - Sahih]

2. Late at night

When people are sleeping and busy

with worldly pleasures Allah (SWT)

gives the believers an opportunity,

or an answer hour if they can fight

sleep and invoke Allah (SWT) for

whatever they need. The Prophet

(SAW) said: 'There is at night an

hour, no Muslim happens to be

asking Allah any matter of this world

or the Hereafter, except that he will

be given it, and this (occurs) every night.'

[Muslim #757]

3. Between Adhan and Iqamah

Anas (RA) narrated that Allah’s

Messenger (SAW) said: 'A supplication

made between the Adhan and Iqama

is not rejected.'

[Ahmad, abu Dawud #521, at-Tirmidhi

#212, Sahih al-Jami #3408, an-Nasai

and Ibn Hibban graded it sahih (sound)]

4. An Hour On Friday

Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA): Allah’s

Messenger (SAW) talked about Friday

and said: 'There is an hour on Friday

and if a Muslim gets it while offering Salat

(prayer) and asks something from

Allah (SWT), then Allah (SWT) will definitely

meet his demand.' And he (the Prophet (SAW)

pointed out the shortness of that

particular time with his hands.

[Sahih al-Bukhari]

Some have said that this hour is from

the time the Imam (prayer’s leader)

enters the mosque on Friday’s prayer

until the prayer is over (ie between the

two khutbahs), whereas others have

said that it is the last hour of the day

(ie after the Asr prayer until the

Maghrib prayer).

5. While Drinking Zamzam Water

Jaber (RA) narrated that Allah’s

Messenger (SAW) said: 'Zamzam

water is for what it is drunk for.'

[Ahmad 3: 357 and Ibn Majah #3062].

This means that when you drink Zamzam

water you may ask Allah (SWT) for anything

you like to gain or benefit from this water

such as healing from illness.... etc.
