About The Book

Forty Divine Narrations is the translation of the renowned text of Imam al-Qaḍi Yusuf al-Nabhani (1849–1932), a Shafiʿi jurist and Levantine gnostic. In it, he has compiled forty integral Aḥadith (Prophetic Narrations), on topics ranging from the core fundamental monotheistic belief of Islām to remedies of one’s affairs in accordance to the sharīʿah and wonderful reminders of the nature of an aspirational Muslim.

Each one of the narrations is termed as Ḥadith al-Qudsi (Divine Narration) — a term used in the study of Prophetic narrations to describe those Divine statements aside from those contained in Revelations, which are manifested on the tongue of His Prophet.
