Forty Hadith Jihadiyyah

بسم الله الرحمن
الرحيم

This short but valuable treatise contains forty-one authentic aḥādīth
concerning the exalted topic of Jihād in the Cause of Allāh, the
Most High.

Its author, the imprisoned, and well-known and respected Muhaddith
and scholar, Shaykh Sulaymān al-’Ulwān, has compiled these
narrations in order to shed light on the noble, but widely
misunderstood ‘Ibādah of Jihād, a number of its virtues, along
with some of its rulings as they relate to the science of Fiqh.

The work has been compiled in such as fashion, as many of the
classical Islamic works were, as to facilitate easy memorisation of
its text, and to provide the reader with the understanding of the
author merely by glancing at the chapter heading. The aḥādīth and
narrations that follow then provide the necessary evidence from the
words of the Prophet - may peace and salutations be upon him - and
his Companions - may Allāh be pleased with them all.

It is hoped that this work will be a source of enjoyment and great
benefit to its readers and its author - may Allāh reward him and
keep him steadfast upon the Truth.
