As Salaamu Alaykum wa rahmatulahi wa barakatu

Bismillah wal hamdulilah wa salatu wa salaamu ala rasoolilah, wa ba'd,

Insha'Allah I will begin charting my progress of Imam An Nawawi's 40 Hadeeth by posting hadeeth that I have completed and then continuing from there with each hadeeth (or part of hadeeth) as I memorize them. Barakallahu feekum.

Hadeeth 1: Actions are but by Intentions

عن أمـيـر المؤمنـين أبي حـفصٍ عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه ، قال : سمعت رسولَ الله صلى الله عـليه وسلم يـقـول : { إنـما الأعـمـالُ بالنيات وإنـمـا لِكُـلٍ امـرِئٍ ما نَـوى . فمن كـانت هجرته إلى الله ورسولـه فهجرتـه إلى الله ورسـوله ومن كانت هجرته لِـدُنيا يُصـيبُها أوٍ امرَأةٍ يَنكَحُها فهجرته إلى ما هاجرَ إليهِ }:

رواه إمام المحد ثين أبـو عـبـد الله محمد بن إسماعـيل بن ابراهـيـم بن المغـيره بن بـرد زبه البخاري الجعـفي،[رقم:1] وابـو الحسـيـن مسلم بن الحجاج بن مـسلم القـشـيري الـنيسـابـوري [رقم :1907] رضي الله عنهما في صحيحيهما اللذين هما أصح الكتب المصنفه


On the authority of Ameer ul-Mu'mineen (the Commander of the Faithful), Abu Hafs `Umar ibn al-Khattaab radiAllaahu 'anhu, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam say:

"Actions are but by intentions and every man shall have only that which he intended. Thus he whose migration (Hijrah to Madeenah from Makkah) was for Allaah and His Messenger, his migration was for Allaah and His Messenger, and he whose migration was to achieve some worldly benefit or to take some woman in marriage, his migration was for that for which he migrated"[/

It is related by the two Imaams of the scholars of Hadeeth, Abu `Abdillaah Muhammad ibn Ismaa`eel ibn Ibraheem ibn al-Mugheera ibn Bardizbah al-Bukhaaree and Abu-l-Husain Muslim ibn al-Hajjaaj ibn Muslim al-Qushairee an-Naisaaburee, in their two Saheehs, which are the soundest of compiled books [i.e. the most truthful books after the Book of Allaah, since the Qur'aan is not 'compiled'].

Hadeeth 2: An Explanation of Islaam, Eemaan and Ihsaan





Also on the authority of `Umar (radiyAllaahu 'anhu), who said:

One day while we were sitting with the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) there appeared before us a man whose clothes were exceedingly white and whose hair was exceedingly black; no signs of journey were to be seen on him and none of us knew him. He walked up and sat down in front of the Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam), with his knees touching against the Prophet's (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) and placing the palms of his hands on his thighs

he said: “O Muhammad, tell me about Islaam.”
The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: “Islaam is to testify that there is no deity worthy of worship but Allaah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah, to perform prayers, to give zakaah, to fast in Ramadaan, and to make the pilgrimage to the House if you are able to do so.”

He said: “You have spoken rightly”; and we were amazed at him asking him and saying that he had spoken rightly.

He (the man) said: “Tell me about Eemaan.”
He (the Prophet, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: “It is to believe in Allaah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the Last Day, and to believe in divine destiny (qadr), both the good and the evil of it.”
He said: “You have spoken rightly.”

He (the man) said: “Then tell me about Ihsaan.”
He (the Prophet, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: “It is to worship Allaah as though you see Him, and if you do not see Him, then (knowing that) truly He sees you.”

He said: “Then tell me about the Hour.”
He said: “The one questioned about it knows no better than the questioner.”

He said: “Then tell me about its signs.”
He said: “That the slave-girl will give birth to her mistress, and that you will see barefooted, naked destitute shepherds competing in constructing lofty buildings.”

Then he (the man) left, and I stayed for a time. The he (the Prophet, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: “O `Umar, do you know who the questioner was?”
I said: “Allaah and His Messenger know best.”
He said: “It was Jibreel, who came to teach you your religion.”
