About
A quiet place to read one narration at a time.
This project was built in my free time as a simple way to read and reflect on Hadith. The goal is to keep it clean, minimal, and focused on the message — no clutter, no noise, just the text.
Every narration is shown together with its full reference: the collection, the hadith number, the chapter, and the grading reported by the source. That way anyone reading it — or receiving a card you shared — can go back and cross-check it for themselves.
The translation is shown first, on its own. Tap Show full Hadith for the complete text together with the Arabic.
A note on the Arabic
The Arabic can be set in three typefaces: Naskh (Amiri), the classical book hand; Clear (Scheherazade New), larger and rounder with fuller vowel marks; and Bold (Noto Naskh Arabic), a denser cut closer to the block-print style common in South Asia.
All three render exactly the same characters. The source provides a single Arabic version, so this changes the letterforms only — none of them is a conversion to the Indo-Pak orthography used in the printed Mushaf, which differs from standard Arabic in its spelling and diacritic conventions and would need both a differently encoded source text and a font licensed for that specific purpose. The community fonts that do reproduce it (Al Qalam, PDMS Saleem and similar) are freeware without clear terms for redistribution, so none is bundled here.
Where the texts come from
Narrations come from the open-source Hadith API collection by Fawaz Ahmed, served directly from this site. It covers these collections:
- Sahih al-Bukhari
- Sahih Muslim
- Sunan Abi Dawud
- Jami` at-Tirmidhi
- Sunan an-Nasa'i
- Sunan Ibn Majah
- Muwatta Malik
- The Forty Hadith of al-Nawawi
- The Forty Hadith Qudsi
- The Forty Hadith of Shah Waliullah
Each narration shows the gradings recorded for it, with the scholar who gave each one; where scholars differ, Al-Albani's grading is shown first. Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim carry no individual gradings — their contents are accepted as authentic by scholarly consensus, so they are marked Sahih. For anything you intend to act on or pass along, please verify with the printed collection or a qualified scholar.
Collections are sequences, and some entries carry no text of their own — only “the same as above”, or a second chain of narrators for the hadith before it. Pulled out on their own they point at nothing, so they are skipped and another narration is drawn instead.
Each narration links to its page on Sunnah.com, where you can read it in context.
