A Word's Weight: Forty Hadiths from the Comprehensive Words of the Prophet ﷺ

Gathered by the Imam and Shaykh ʿAbdullah Sirāj al-Dīn al-Ḥusayni of Aleppo, ḥāfiẓ, commentator upon the Qur'an, and teacher of a generation of scholars, and drawn from his Sayyidunā Muhammad Rasül Allāh ﷺ, these forty sayings contain within them a lifetime of Prophetic guidance inside a sentence.

Some were spoken to one man in a single moment. To Ibn ʿAbbās, riding behind him: be mindful of Allah, and He will preserve you. To Ibn ʿUmar, with a hand upon his shoulder be in this world as though you were a stranger, or a wayfarer travelling on a road. To Abū Dharr, who asked for more and was given more, seven times over. Others are sermons delivered to a whole gathering, urging repentance, warning against avarice, describing the friends of Allah Most High. The collection closes with the Hadith in which he ﷺ names the gift that every preceding page has been displaying.

Noble Traits: Forty Hadiths  on the Noble Character of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

Asked what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was like, ʿĀʾishah, Mother of the Faithful, answered that his character was the Qur'an.

The forty Hadiths in this volume show what that answer looked like across an ordinary day. He dipped his hand into every vessel the servants of Madinah carried to him after the dawn prayer. He asked after any man he had not seen for three days, and prayed for him if he was absent. He held a man's hand in parting and let the other withdraw first. He turned his face and his speech towards the least regarded person in a gathering in order to win him over. He hemmed his own garment, mended his own sandals, milked the sheep, sat on the ground to eat, and accepted a slave's invitation to barley bread. He corrected a fault without naming the one who had committed it. He was optimistic, loved good names, visited the sick, and patted the heads of the children of the Anṣār.

Every narration is referenced, the Arabic vocalised, and the English rendered in clear and readable prose.

Descriptions of his character were transmitted so that they might be imitated.

The Great Intercession: Forty Hadiths on the Intercession of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ on the Day of Resurrection

On the Day of Resurrection mankind will stand in the heat of the gathering and go from Prophet to Prophet seeking relief. Ādam (ʿalayhissalām) will decline. Nūḥ will decline. Ibrāhīm, Mūsā, and ʿIsā (ʿalayhimussalām) will each answer with the same words: "My own selfl My own self! Go to someone other than me." The search ends at one door.

The forty Hadiths in this volume describe what happens next. He ﷺ goes forward, falls in prostration beneath the Throne, and is told to raise his head, to ask, and to intercede.

One disposition emerges throughout. Offered the choice between two thirds of his Ummah entering Paradise without reckoning and the Intercession, he ﷺ chose the Intercession, because it reaches further. Granted the single supplication answered for every Prophet, he withheld his and reserved it for the Day of Resurrection. He described that intercession as extending to the sullied and the wrongdoing among the sinners of his Ummah.

Salutations of Light: Forty Hadiths on Invoking Allah's Blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

Allah ﷻ announced His own act and the act of His Angels before He turned to the bellevers with the command: 'O believers! Invoke Allah's blessings upon him, and salute him with worthy greetings of peace!

The forty Hadiths in this volume describe what follows when a servant obeys. One invocation returns tenfold. An Angel appointed over the matter carries it into the grave of the Prophet ﷺ as gifts are carried to the living, and names the one who sent it. Roaming Angels convey the salutations of the Ummah wherever they are uttered. The invocations of Friday and of the night preceding it bring a hundred needs fulfilled, seventy of them concerning the Hereafter. Those closest to him on the Day of Resurrection, in every station, are those who invoked blessings upon him most in this world.
