Content :

The study of the 38th and 41st Hadith of an-Nawawi’s collection involves learning and understanding these two sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and their significance in our daily lives.

The 38th Hadith talks about the importance of treating others the way we would like to be treated. This is known as the “Golden Rule” and it means that we should always be kind, respectful and considerate towards others, just as we would like them to be towards us. This Hadith teaches us to be empathetic and to think about the feelings of others before we act or speak.

The 41st Hadith talks about the importance of sincerity in our actions. It teaches us that whatever we do, we should do it with a pure intention and for the sake of pleasing Allah (God) alone. This Hadith emphasizes the importance of having a good heart and a pure intention, as our actions are judged by our intentions.

To study these Hadiths, we will first learn the Arabic text and transliteration, which will help us understand the original words of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). We will also learn the English translation, which will help us understand the meaning of the Hadith in our own language.

After learning the Hadiths, we will then discuss the lesson or commentary, which will help us understand the deeper meaning and significance of the Hadiths. We will also learn how we can apply these Hadiths to our daily lives, by discussing real-life situations where we can practice the Golden Rule and sincerity in our actions.

For example, we can apply the Golden Rule by being kind to our classmates, helping others in need, and respecting our parents and elders. We can practice sincerity by doing good deeds with the intention of pleasing Allah (God) alone, such as praying, giving to charity, and being honest in our dealings with others.

Overall, the study of the 38th and 41st Hadith of an-Nawawi’s collection teaches us important lessons about kindness, empathy, sincerity, and living a righteous life.

Arabic text and transliteration for the 38th and 41st Hadith of an-Nawawi’s collection:

38th Hadith: النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ” لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى يُحِبَّ لِأَخِيهِ مَا يُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ ”

Transliteration: “La yu’minu ahadukum hatta yuhibba li akheehi ma yuhibbu li nafsihi.”

Translation: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.”

41st Hadith: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ” إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَقْبَلُ الْعَمَلَ الصَّالِحَ إِنْ كَانَ صَغِيرًا، وَيَتَقَبَّلُهُ مِنَ الْمُتَوَاضِعِينَ، وَيَتَعَاوَدُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ”

Transliteration: “‘Inna Allah ta’ala yaqbalu al’amala al-saleha in kana saghira, wa yataqabbalu min al-mutawadi’ina, wa yata’awadu ‘alayhi min al-muqarrabin.”
