The hadith comes under a general principle/ understanding of Islam, it is not bringing anything new but just adding.They cannot be extremely weak, generally it is said a hadith is da’if (weak) but there are more than 30-40 different classification of da’if with some being more weak than others.But not related to ahkam, legal rulings or related to belief. Weak Hadiths that are related to virtues, deeds, reminders, etc.This is the majority opinion and what Imam al-Nawawi refers to in his introduction.Ĭonditions to using weak hadiths this way:
One school of thought says one can use weak hadiths whenever you want.Essentially there are three main schools of thought about weak hadiths: When it comes to using weak hadiths there is a very important and profound difference in opinions. This is very important because we should always know what the source of our information is, whether the hadith is reliable, not reliable, is it sahih (authentic), hasan (good) or da’if (weak) and how this relates to whether a hadith is acceptable. Imam al-Nawawi, however, also clearly mentions that this hadith is weak. The hadith states that anyone who memorizes forty hadiths from the hadiths of the Prophet (sas), Allah will resurrect him among the scholars. Imam al-Nawawi begins by mentioning a narration attributed to Prophet Muhammad (sas) as one reason for the compilation of the “Forty Hadith”. Points from Imam Al-Nawawi’s Introduction 1.) Reason for compilation In his introduction, Imam al-Nawawi is telling us essentially why he wrote this book, what got him to write this book and this is important in understanding the purpose of the work.
This is important in being able to carry the dawah. We need to move on to a point where we actually know what we know and we can present it to others. This is a mistake, especially when studying Islamic sciences. Many times we are in the habit of skipping the introduction or quickly looking through introductions. Imam al-Nawawi begins the “Forty Hadith” with an introduction. It is a work of comparative fiqh because he brings all of the opinions of different madhab’s on different issues together. Imam al-Nawawi was one of the foremost figures of the Shafi’ madhab and the largest and most substantial book he wrote in this regard is called Al Majmua’ which is about 30 volumes. Along with the 40 Hadiths, he authored Riyad al-Saliheen, Al-Adhkar, and commentary of Sahih Muslim and Sahih Bukhari. The vastness of his works in these different areas is so great that if an individual decides to study fiqh, hadith, spirituality, or Quran one would need to pass through Imam al- Nawawi. Imam al-Nawawi was a scholar in many different disciplines of Islamic studies. Allah (swt) granted him blessing and success in his work so that he could make great contributions to Islam before passing away at a relatively young age. to 676 A.H, passing away at the age of 45.
He was one of the greatest scholars of Islam and lived from 631 A.H. Imam al Nawawi actually compiled a total of 42 hadiths for this collection, not 40. Imam al-Nawawi’s collection of 40 Hadiths is one of the most important collections of hadiths we have today. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
