What is Hadith?
This is a body of Authentic literature that comprises
the sayings, teachings, behaviour etc. of the last and
final Messenger to Mankind Prophet Muhammad (peace be
upon him). Muslims try to emulate the character of the
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in their daily lives and use
the hadith as a key source to that end. The Qur'an together
with hadith constitute the two most authoritative sources
for moral, ethical and spiritual guidance for Muslims.
Below are a number of the Sayings of the Messenger of
God, Muhammad (peace be upon him). We will try and post
a new Hadith every week God Willing. |

in the way of good was found for him except that he
used to have dealings with people and, being well-to-do,
he would order his servants to let off the man in
straitened circumstances [from repaying his debt].
He (the Prophet p.b.u.h) said that God said: We are

Let him off."

to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to
ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son

as great at it."
