In the Name of All¡h, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Introduction
The Noble Prophet (prayers of All¡h be upon him and his family) has said:

“The person from my nation who memorizes forty traditions pertaining to those issues
of religion which one is in need of, will be resurrected by All¡h on the Day of Judgement
as a person with deep insight into the faith and as a scholar.”
In following the above °ad¢th, The Islamic Education Board of The World Federation
of KSIMC (IEB - WF) has decided to publish a series of booklets of 40 A¦¡d¢th on
different subjects. The A¦¡d¢th that have been selected from various sources, are short
and simple and therefore easy to understand and memorize. It is envisaged that the
booklets will not only be useful for Zakireen, Madrasah teachers and students, but will
be of benefit to the Ummah at large.
The collection of the A¦¡d¢th and introduction of this present work was done by
Ma¶m£d Shar¢f¢ [as found on the InterNet at
http://www.hawzah.net/Per/K/Qadir/Qadir.htm],
http://www.hawzah.net/Per/K/Qadir/Qadir.htm while the translation in English was
carried out by Shaykh Saleem Bhimji. IEB - WF would like to thank Shaykh Saleem for
his efforts in the translation of this work. May All¡h (Glory and Greatness be to Him)
accept this work as a further attempt by IEB - WF to propagate Isl¡m.

Introduction
I
n the tenth year after the migration to Mad¢nah, the year which
later became known as °ajjatul Wid¡{ [The (year of the) farewell
°ajj], the Muslims who had accompanied the Noble Prophet
to Makkah were finishing their °ajj rites. Once the °ajj was
complete, the Prophet and those with him were making their way
back to Mad¢nah and the other cities from which they had come.
When they reached R¡bigh - a spot three miles from Ju¶fah, one of
the miq°t for the Øujj°j - the order came from All¡h i to halt the
entire caravan.
At this point, the Truthful conveyor of the revelation, Jibr°}¢l came
to the Prophet who was stationed in the valley known as Ghad¢r
Khumm and revealed the following verse of the Qur}¡n to him:
/ . ! -
, + * ) ( ' & % $ # "

!
...3

* 1
' / 0"
“O’ Messenger! Convey that which has been revealed to you from
your Lord and if you do not do so, it is as if you have not conveyed
His message at all, and All¡h will protect you from the people…”
(S£ratul M°idah (5), Verse 67)
9
Since this verse commanded the Prophet to stop right where he
was, he himself and those with him, halted in the valley of Ghad¢r.
It was noontime, and as can be expected, the weather was extremely
hot. The Noble Prophet performed ¯al¡tul Zuhr in congregation,
and then with multitudes of people around him, ascended to a small
platform built from camel saddles and other things that the Muslims
had with them.
In a loud voice, he gave a long speech and said to the people: “O’
people! Know that shortly I shall answer the call of The Truth (All¡h)
and will no longer be among you – I have a responsibility (to All¡h)
and you too have a responsibility (towards Him).”
The Prophet then mentioned something very important to the
people and stated: “I am leaving behind two weighty things to you as
a trust – one of them is the Book of All¡h, and the other is my family,
the Ahlul Ba¢t. These two shall never separate from one another. O’
people! Do not attempt to supersede the Qur}¡n and my family, and
do not be negligent in your actions towards these two, because if you
do so, you shall be destroyed.”
After stating this, he took the hand of {Al¢ , raised it up and
introduced him to the multitudes of people and asked: “Who has
more of a right over the believers than their own selves?” Everyone
present proclaimed: “All¡h and His Prophet know better.”
10
The Noble Prophet then said: “All¡h is my master and I am the
master of all the believers and I have more right and authority over
the believers than they have over their own selves.”
Then he continued:
. $ 0 . 6 5 )

“Whomsoever I am his master, this {Al¢ is also his master. O’ All¡h!
Befriend he who befriends him ({Al¢) and oppose he who opposes him
({Al¢).”
The Angel of Revelation, Jibra}¢l once again descended by the
order of All¡h i and this time, revealed the following verse of the
Qur}¡n:
# "
*% &! ' ( # "

!
! ! ) # " $ # "
.$ + , -
“On this day have I completed your religion for you and perfected My
bounties upon you and am pleased with Isl¡m as being your religion.”
Therefore, this day was marked in history as a momentous and grand
day.
11
The day of Ghad¢r was a day of epic proportions in history. It was a
day which would become known as the Day of Wil¡yat (Mastership);
the Day of Im¡mate (Leadership); the Day of Wi¥¡yat
(Successorship); the Day of Brotherhood; the Day of Valour; the Day
of Courage, Bravery and Protection (of the faith); the Day of Pleasure
for the Believers; and they Day of Candidness.
It was a Day of:
• (Divine) blessings;
• Showing thanks to the Almighty;
• Conveyance of the message;
• Congratulations and felicitations;
• Happiness, delight and gift giving;
• The pact and promise and renewal of the Pledge of
Allegiance;
• Completion of the religion;
• Expression of the truth;
• Grief of Sha¢§¡n;
• Introducing the leader and the (true) path;
• Testing (the faith) of the Muslims;
12
• Despair for the enemies;
• Hope for the (true) friends.
In summary, it was the Day of Isl¡m, Qur}¡n, and the Ahlul Ba¢t .
It was the day which the followers of the true teachings of the faith of
Isl¡m mark with great esteem and a day when they congratulate one
another.
It can be understood from the A¦¡d¢th that the A}immah took this
day as one of celebration and used to hold special programs to
ccelebrate this event. It has been narrated from Fayy°§ ibne
Mu¦ammad at-∞£s¢ that, “I was in the presence of the 8th Im¡m on
the day of Ghad¢r (18th of Dhul Øijjah). I saw a particular group of
people serving the Im¡m and the Im¡m was (intentionally) keeping
them in his house until the time of sunset came so that he may give
them food to eat (and thus enable them to break their fast). The
Im¡m ordered that food, new clothes, shoes, rings, and other gifts be
sent for their families. In the house, I noticed that the state of all of
those present was something completely different than normal, and it
was from those people that I learned the greatness and magnitude of
this day.” (Bi¦¡rul Anw¡r, volume 97, page 112, ¦ad¢th 8)
In another °ad¢th it has been mentioned that one day during the days
of the “open caliphate” of Im¡m {Al¢ , the day of Jumu{ah and {E¢d
13
Ghad¢r fell together. On this day, the Im¡m delivered a long
speech and said, “This gathering shall soon come to an end and all of
you will go back to your homes and families – may All¡h shower His
mercy upon all of you.
On this day, you should be kind to your families and do good deeds
to your brothers. You should thank All¡h for the blessings which He
has granted you. You must also be sure to unite with one another so
that through this, All¡h may assist you.
Do good to others so that All¡h makes your friendship firm and
immovable. From the blessings which All¡h has given you, give gifts
to one another. On this day, All¡h will give rewards (to you) in
multiple folds compared to other days of celebration ({E¢d). This form
of reward cannot be attained except through this day (Ghad¢r). Doing
good to others and giving away much wealth to others increases the
life span. Being a host to others results in the mercy and love of All¡h
descending upon you.
On this day, as much as you are able to, give your brothers and family
a portion of the wealth which All¡h has granted you.
Always be smiling and in a happy mood when you meet one another;
and be sure to thank All¡h for the blessings which He has showered
upon you.
14
Go towards those people whose hope may lie in you and do good to
them. In regards to your food and drink (on this day), ensure that
between you and those who are under your care and supervision,
there is equality. This equality and equity must be displayed to the
extent of your ability (and you should know that) the reward of giving
one dirham of charity on this day is equivalent to giving 100,000
dirhams of charity (on any other day) and the Divine bounty of this is
in All¡h’s hands alone.
All¡h has also made it highly recommended to fast on this day and
has promised a great reward for one who observes it. If a person was
to look after the needs and necessities of his brothers, even before his
own wishes and desires (were expressed to All¡h), and if one was to
look after their requests in the best possible way, then one would be
granted such a reward that it would be equivalent to fasting the entire
day and spending the entire night in worship until the morning hours.
A person who feeds another fasting person on this day will be equal to
that person who went person by person and fed all of the fasting
people (with his own hands).
You must convey all that you have just heard to those who are not
here. The strong and able people must go out in search of the weak
people; the powerful must go in search of the oppressed, as these are
all things which the Prophet has commanded me to do.”
15
Im¡m {Al¢ then read the Khu§bah for Jumu{ah and performed the
¯al¡t al-Jumu{ah (since there is no special ¯al¡t for this {Eid). He then
went with his children and Sh¢{a to the house of Im¡m °usain ,
where food was ready, and he distributed gifts to the Sh¢{a – both the
needy and the free from need - who had accompanied him, and then
instructed them to go home to their families.”1

Insh¡-All¡h, we hope that one day all Muslims of the world will mark
the day of {E¢dul Ghad¢r in such a great and magnanimous way and
celebrate it as it deserves to be celebrated.

the two {E¢d (of al-A¤¦¡ and al-Fi§r) and the Jumu{ah?” The Im¡m

designated by the Messenger of All¡h (blessings of All¡h be upon him

replied, “Yes O’ °asan! (There is one) greater than these two and
much worthier than them.” The companion replied, “And what day is
that?” The Im¡m said, “The day upon which Am¢rul Mo}min¢n [{Al¢
ibne Ab¢ ±¡lib] (peace be upon him) was appointed as the flag (of
guidance) for the people.” The companion then asked, “May I be
sacrificed for you! And what should we do (on this day)?” The Im¡m
replied, “You should fast on it, O’ °asan, and recite many prayers
upon Mu¦ammad and his family and disavow yourself towards All¡h
from all of those who oppressed them; surely the Prophets (of the
past) also commanded their successors to consider the day of their
appointment a day of celebration and {E¢d.”

permitted and forbidden is more than what I can explain to you; what
I command you as permitted and forbid you as prohibited, is all from
one position. I was commanded to take your allegiance and your
pledge to accept what I brought from All¡h, the Exalted, regarding
{Al¢, the commander of the believers, and the Im¡ms after him. O’
People! Ponder and understand the verses (of the Qur}an), observe
those that are clear and do not follow those that are unclear; for by
All¡h no one can explain to you its limitations or clarify its meanings

Introduction
The Noble Prophet (prayers of All¡h be upon him and his family) has said:
<íŽ { Úÿ ^ÿéÏŽ ĞÖ]<ÿÝłç{ èÿ <₣]<Łäÿn{{{Ãÿ eÿ <^{{ãÿ eŽ <ÿáçŁÃËŽ jÿ łß{{{èÿ <^⁄nèŽ‚{u

“The person from my nation who memorizes forty traditions pertaining to those issues
of religion which he is in need of, will be resurrected by All¡h on the Day of Judgement
as a person with deep insight into the faith and as a scholar.”
In following the above ¦ad¢th, The Islamic Education Board of The World Federation of
KSIMC (IEB - WF) has decided to publish a series of booklets of 40 A¦¡d¢th on
different subjects. The A¦¡d¢th which have been selected from various sources, are short
and simple and therefore easy to understand and memorize. It is envisaged that the

Introduction
All¡h, the Most High, has said:

( ' & % $

“Surely the first House which was appointed for mankind (as a place
of worship) was that in Bakkah (Makkah), the blessed, and a source
of guidance for the entire universe.” (S£rat ªle {Imr¡n (3), Verse 96)
HUMANITY IS CONTINUOUSLY BEING overwhelmed by the problems of
day to day life in the quest for both their true and perceived material
needs; they are plagued with bureaucracy, their own daily
professions, and keeping abreast with the news of things happening
around them – in their own country and throughout the world.
All of these things prevent a person from enacting his Divinely granted
responsibilities and the lofty goals which he sets for himself.
Such a busy life keeps one negligent of one’s original identity and true
(eventual) abode. It is the °ajj which acts as a sacred migration from
all of the things which one is tied down with in one’s daily life and
also the habits which one becomes accustomed to. Thus, through the
°ajj, an individual evolves into a person who begins to travel back
towards All¡h i and towards his All¡h-given innate character and
being.
By performing the °ajj, a person is able to be present in the general
yearly gathering of Muslims from the entire world, and one can
witness the Divine along with others who believe in the same religion,
have one aspiration and are all worshipping the Only Creator.
Being present in the Miq¡t (spot of wearing the I¦r¡m), chanting the
Talbiyyah (Labbayk All¡humma Labbayk…), performing the §aw¡f
around the House of All¡h i, performing the ¯al¡t, running between
the mountains of al-¯af¡ and al-Marwah, trimming the nails or hair,
then making the great move to {Araf¡t, Mash{ar followed by Min¡, and
culminating this great act of worship with the sacrifice of an animal,
and then finally shaving the head – all of these acts have thousands of
secrets and mysteries related to them which are obviously not possible
to explain in the light of forty short A¦ad¢th (as will be covered in this
booklet).
However, it is important to note that a portion of the secrets behind
all of these acts of worship, which are both political and spiritual, is
10
that they actually pull a person towards a greater study and research
of the Isl¡mic texts and are actually the cause for the thirst towards
more knowledge and a stimulation to learn more about the faith.
The minute intellectual reflections and small goals which people have
for themselves, take on a much larger scale when they are engrossed
in the great universal gathering of Muslims. Without a doubt, it is
within such a venue that an individual wishes and desires the hopes
and aspirations not only for himself, rather for all Muslims.
The °ujjaj participating in this great Abrahamic journey, spiritually
link their actions with those done by the great prophets of the past
and open up the doors of the historical past to their own realm of
understanding.
The Divinely taught sacred call of “Labbayk All¡humma Labbayk…”
brings to mind the ancient pledge, pact, and innate covenant which
mankind made with their Creator aforetime.
It is through putting on the white clothing of the I¦r¡m that a person
removes the spiritually dark traits of selfishness, pretentiousness, and
the rampant desire to fulfill one’s sensual pleasures, and puts an end
(hopefully not temporarily) to one’s evil habits and actions. Through
11
this clothing which one has now donned, one sees and understands
that all the praise, blessings, and power belong solely to All¡h i.
The etiquette related to being inside the Sanctuary (°aram) teaches us
the noble ethical traits and the sacred Divine morals which we must
enact at all times in our lives.
In the physical actions of the °ajj, we are taught the lessons of unity,
the importance of keeping the spiritual realm and politics together,
maintaining true faith, building alliances with other Muslims, and the
true meaning of freedom. At the same time, we are also taught to
stand up and fight against disbelief, polytheism, and other Satanic
forces as one firm unit of Muslims.
It is through the §aw¡f in the presence of one’s beloved and standing
at the Maq¡m of Ibr¡h¢m and performing the ¯al¡t that a person
becomes one with the Angels in the heavens who are performing the
same action!
Through the act of the Sa{¢ between the mountains of al-¯af¡ and al-
Marwah and then trimming the hair, a person is finally permitted to
once again circle the Ka{bah in the final §aw¡f known as the ±aw¡f an-
Nis¡ where he finishes off this entire °ajj by standing at the Maq¡m-
e-Ibr¡h¢m and performing one final two Rak{at ¯al¡t.
12
It is through greeting the °ajrul Aswad and even kissing it that a
person renews the pledge one made in the other world, as the Qur}¡n
mentions:

“And when your Lord brought forth from the children of ªdam, from
their backs, their descendants, and made them bear witness against
their own souls: ‘Am I not your Lord?’ They said: ‘Yes! we bear
witness.’ Lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection: Surely we
were heedless of this.” (7:172)
It is only through drinking the delicious water of the well of Zamzam
that a person is able to once again, hear the whisper of life flowing
through one’s entire body and soul…
The momentary stops through the °ajj and the movements made from
one place to another by the command of All¡h i and with the
remembrance of All¡h i teach a person the Abrahimc way of life.
13
It is through the acts of the slaughtering of an animal that a person is
able to slit the throat of his negative trait of miserliness, and it is
through the act of shaving the head that one begins to prepare himself
once again to be able to enter into Masjidul °ar¡m, the house of his
Beloved.
However before this, one must make his way to the Jamar¡t to stone
the large, middle and small representations of the Satan. Through this
act, he announces his disavowal and disapproval from anything
Satanic and anything which has polytheistic undertones to it.
K
That which we have mentioned in this short booklet is a collection of
forty ¦ad¢th in regards to this great obligatory act – the °ajj. These
A¦¡d¢th go forth to elucidate and explain some of the etiquettes and
goals behind the °ajj.
The sacredness and sanctity of the sites of the °ajj and the role which
they have in the life of a person have also been alluded to in our
selection of narrations.
The short traditions which have come to us from the Infallible Leaders
of the faith which we have quoted in this work open up a new
14
outlook to the beautiful visage of the °ajj which the visitors to the
sacred house of All¡h. For those that have a strong desire to make the
trip, but have not yet been blessed to, need to carefully study these as
well.

me the ability to recite it as it should be

Introduction
The Noble Prophet (blessings of All¡h be upon him and his family)
has said:
<Ýÿ łç{ÿè<₣ ]<Łäÿn{{ÿÃeÿ <^{ÿãeŽ <ÿáçŁÃËŽ jÿ łß{{ÿè<^⁄nèŽ‚{ÿu<ÿ°{ŽÃeÿ ł…_ş <ê{{ŽjÚĆ _₣ <î{×{ÿÂ<şÀËŽ u

“A person from my nation who memorizes forty traditions pertaining
to those issues of religion which one is in need of, will be resurrected
by All¡h on the Day of Judgement as a person with deep insight into
the faith and as a scholar.”
In following the above ¦ad¢th, the Islamic Education Board of The
World Federation of KSIMC (IEB - WF) has decided to publish a
series of booklets of 40 a¦¡d¢th (traditions) on different subjects. The
a¦¡d¢th that have been selected from various sources are short and
simple and therefore easy to understand and memorize. It is
envisaged that the booklets will not only be useful for Zakireen,
Madrasah teachers and students, but will be of benefit to the Ummah
at large.
The collection of the a¦¡d¢th and introduction of this present work

was done by {Abdul-Rahim Mugahi in his compilation, ‘The Heart of
Hearts’, while the translation in English was carried out by Shaykh
Saleem Bhimji.
IEB - WF would like to thank Shaykh Saleem for his efforts in the
translation of this work. May All¡h (Free from Imperfections and
Exalted is He) accept this work as a further attempt by IEB - WF to
propagate Isl¡m.

Introduction
T
he time period we are currently going through is one in which
the Divinely appointed Im¡m (representative of All¡h i) is
not amongst us – at least ‘apparently’ he is not. From the
traditions of the Prophet , we know that the Im¡m has
not distanced himself from his followers, nor is he in some mystical
land or in another time realm. Rather, he lives among the people, sees
what we are going through and feels the hurt and grief at the state of
affairs of the world. In addition, to show us that he is indeed with us,
the traditions tell us that he is present in various gatherings
throughout the year – such as the °ajj – on an annual basis.
This period which has been going on for the past 1,200 years is
known as the ghaybatul kubrah or the major occultation of Im¡m al-
°ujjah , and is one in which we are all in a state of inti¨¡r or
‘active anticipation’ for his advent.
During this time, one of the responsibilities for those who want to
follow the Im¡m is to know as much about him as possible. This
knowledge of the Im¡m is not limited to merely the incidental
characteristics of the Im¡m - such as his date of birth, place of
birth, his mother and father’s name and other such things. Rather, as
the traditions, narrated in all of the books of ¦ad¢th tell us that, “The
person who dies and does not have a deep understanding (Ma{rifat) of
the Im¡m of his time, dies the death of those of the period of
decadence (the pre-Islamic era).” Thus, even if we were to follow all of
the dictates of Islam such as praying, fasting, going for °ajj and even
struggling in Jih¡d against ourselves and an external threat, however if
we do not know and acknowledge the Im¡m of our time, all of our
actions would be in vain!
It is with this thought in mind that we need to proceed forward in life,

seeking to better understand our living Im¡m – and what better
way than through what his noble fore-fathers have said about him!
The traditions mentioned in this booklet offer us glimpses of the Im¡m

which should instill a sense of hope in us – a hope for a better
future of the world and one in which the rule of All¡h i is established
over the entire globe. It is only at this time - through the support and
guidance of Im¡m al-Mahd¢ , that all forms of corruption and evil
will be removed from the Earth, paving the way for the utopia which
the Islamic narrations speak so vividly about – the kingdom and rule
of All¡h i.
One of the ways in which we can attain the deep understanding of the
ii
Im¡m , which we must strive for, is to hold firm to the true scholars
who are serving the cause of the faith during the period of the
occultation of our awaited Im¡m . It is by following them and
adhering to their orders, which in reality is nothing other than
following the Qur’¡n and the Sunnah, that we can safeguard our
position with the Im¡m .
The worth of the scholars during the occultation has been emphasized
in a beautiful tradition that has reached us from the 10th Im¡m,
Mu¦ammad b. {Al¢ al-H¡d¢ :

“If there were not to remain after the occultation of your Q¡}im from
among the scholars, a person from among the proofs of All¡h who
would call (others) towards him (the Im¡m); represent him (the
Im¡m); defend his (the Im¡m’s) religion; grant safety to the
downtrodden servants of All¡h from the evils of Ibl¢s and the
wickedness of the enemies (of the Ahlul Bayt), then there would not
remain a single person (on Earth) except that he would have left the
religion of All¡h. But rather, these people (the {Ulam¡) take it upon
themselves to be the protectors of the hearts of our downtrodden Sh¢{a,
just as the captain of a boat takes control of the lives and safety of
those on his ship. Thus, these (the {Ulam¡) are the people who are the
best in the sight of All¡h, the Noble and Great.”1

command [the advent of Im¡m al-Mahd¢] is like a person who was
with al-Q¡}im in his tent … no rather, he would be like a person who

would be like the person who attained martyrdom along-side the
Messenger of All¡h (peace be upon him and his family).”
