Muhammad in His Own Words

Allah commands all Muslims to obey and imitate the Prophet Muhammad, who is the founder of Islam and the world's model for righteous behavior. They are to do so by following the hadiths, written records of what Muhammad said and did, including even the smallest details of how he lived. Muslims consider sahih hadiths to be the most authentic and authoritative of all the hadiths. Yet many sahih hadiths of the Prophet remain shrouded in mystery. Muslims never read, teach, or follow these hadiths. As a practical matter, for most Muslims these hadiths do not exist. This book quotes more than 700 of these 'forgotten' sahih hadiths. Knowledge of these hadiths will produce a more complete and well-rounded view of Muhammad, one of the most influential spiritual and political leaders in history.
