'I have been given comprehensive speech, and speech has been condensed for me to the utmost degree.'
Forty sayings in which the Prophet ﷺ placed a lifetime of guidance Inside a sentence.
Some were spoken to one man in a single moment. To Ibn ʿAbbās, riding behind him: be mindful of Allah, and He will preserve you. To Ibn ʿUmar, with a hand upon his shoulder be in this world as though you were a stranger, or a wayfarer travelling on a road. To Abū Dharr, who asked for more and was given more, seven times over. Others are sermons delivered to a whole gathering, urging repentance, warning against avarice, describing the friends of Allah Most High. The collection closes with the Hadith in which he ﷺ names the gift that every preceding page has been displaying.
Gathered by the Imam and Shaykh ʿAbdullah Sirāj al-Dīn al-Ḥusayni of Aleppo, ḥāfiẓ, commentator upon the Qur'an, and teacher of a generation of scholars, and drawn from his Sayyidunā Muhammad Rasül Allāh ﷺ.
