7 hadiths
مَنْ نَفَّسَ عَنْ مُؤْمِنٍ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ الدُّنْيَا نَفَّسَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
Whoever relieves a believer of a hardship in this world, Allah will relieve him of a hardship on the Day of Resurrection. Allah helps His servant as long as the servant helps his brother.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى صُوَرِكُمْ وَأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ وَأَعْمَالِكُمْ
Allah does not look at your appearance or your wealth, but He looks at your hearts and your deeds.
الطُّهُورُ شَطْرُ الإِيمَانِ
Purity is half of faith. Alhamdulillah fills the scales, and SubhanAllah and Alhamdulillah fill what is between the heavens and the earth.
مَا نَقَصَتْ صَدَقَةٌ مِنْ مَالٍ
Charity does not decrease wealth. No one forgives another except that Allah increases him in honour. And no one humbles himself for Allah except that Allah raises him.
مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي تَوَادِّهِمْ وَتَرَاحُمِهِمْ وَتَعَاطُفِهِمْ مَثَلُ الْجَسَدِ
The believers in their mutual kindness, compassion and sympathy are like one body: when one limb suffers, the whole body responds with wakefulness and fever.
احْرِصْ عَلَى مَا يَنْفَعُكَ وَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللَّهِ وَلاَ تَعْجَزْ
The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, though there is good in both. Strive for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not give up.
يَا عِبَادِي إِنِّي حَرَّمْتُ الظُّلْمَ عَلَى نَفْسِي
Allah said: My servants, I have forbidden injustice for Myself and forbidden it among you, so do not wrong one another.
Hadith are the recorded sayings, actions and approvals of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. They are the second source of Islamic law after the Qur'an and cover every aspect of life — from worship and morals to transactions and family matters. The most authoritative collections are the “six books” (al-Kutub al-Sittah): Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawud, Jami' at-Tirmidhi, Sunan an-Nasa'i and Sunan Ibn Majah.
Wording follows widely used English renderings. For study, check each hadith against a published edition of its collection.
A hadith is a report of what the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, did or silently approved. Each hadith has a chain of narrators (isnad) and a text (matn). Scholars graded them by the reliability of each narrator in the chain.
Sahih means authentic. A sahih hadith has an unbroken chain of trustworthy narrators and a text free of hidden defects. Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim are regarded as the two most authentic collections.
They are Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawud, Jami' at-Tirmidhi, Sunan an-Nasa'i and Sunan Ibn Majah. Together they are called al-Kutub al-Sittah (the Six Books) and form the core reference for hadith scholarship.
Type a keyword — such as "prayer", "charity" or "patience" — into the search box above. You can also filter by collection. Every result shows the narrator, book and reference number so you can verify it in a published edition.
The English wording follows widely used renderings and is suitable for general reading. For detailed study or deriving rulings, check the Arabic original in a published edition of the collection.
