“One night, when he (ﷺ) exited his Salat, I heard the Messenger of Allah saying: ‘O Allah, I ask You of Your mercy, that You guide by it my heart, and gather by it my affair, and bring together that which has been scattered of my affairs, and correct with it that which is hidden from me, and raise by it that which is apparent from me, and purify by it my actions, and inspire me by it with that which contains my guidance, and protect me by it from that which I seek protection, and protect me by it from every evil. O Allah give me faith and certainty after which there is no disbelief, and mercy, by which I may attain the high level of Your generosity in the world and the Hereafter. O Allah, I ask You for success [in that which You grant, and relief] in the Judgment, and the positions of the martyrs, and the provision of the successful, and aid against the enemies. O Allah, I leave to You my need, and my actions are weak, I am in need of Your mercy, so I ask You, O Decider of the affairs, and O Healer of the chests, as You separate me from the punishment of the blazing flame, and from seeking destruction, and from the trial of the graves. O Allah, whatever my opinion has fallen short of, and my intention has not reached it, and my request has not encompassed it, of good that You have promised to anyone from Your creation, or any good You are going to give to any of Your slaves, then indeed, I seek it from You and I ask You for it, by Your mercy, O Lord of the Worlds. O Allah, Possessor of the strong rope, and the guided affair, I ask You for security on the Day of the Threat, and Paradise on the Day of Immortality along with the witnesses, brought-close, who bow and prostrate, who fulfill the covenants, You are Merciful, Loving, and indeed, You do what You wish. O Allah, make us guided guiders and not misguided misguiders, an ally to Your friends, an enemy to Your enemies. We love due to Your love, those who love You, and hate, due to Your enmity those who oppose You. O Allah, this is the supplication (that we are capable of), and it is upon You to respond, and this is the effort (that we are capable of), and upon You is the reliance. O Allah, appoint a light in my heart for me, and a light in my grave, and light in front of me, and light behind me, and light on my right, and light on my left, and light above me, and light below me, and light in my hearing, and light in my vision, and light in my hair, and light in my skin, and light in my flesh, and light in my blood, and light in my bones. O Allah, magnify for me light, and appoint for me a light. Glory is to the One who wears Glory and grants by it. Glory is to the One for Whom glorification is not fitting except for Him, the Possessor of Honor and Bounties, Glory is to the Possessor of Glory and Generosity, Glory is to the Possessor of Majesty and Honor’ (Allāhumma innī as'aluka raḥmatan min `indika tahdī bihā qalbī, wa tajma`u bihā amrī, wa talummu bihā sha`athī, wa tuṣliḥu bihā ghā'ibī, wa tarfa`u bihā shāhidī, wa tuzakkī bihā `amalī, wa tulhimunī bihā rushdī, wa taruddu bihā ulfatī, wa ta`ṣimunī bihā min kulli sū'in.

Questions

Frequently asked

Everything you might want to know about how Random Hadith works and where our texts come from.

What is hadith in Islam?
In Islam, a hadith is a recorded saying, action, approval, or characteristic of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Alongside the Quran, hadith forms the foundation of Islamic guidance — explaining worship, ethics, family life, and daily conduct. Scholars preserve hadith through verified chains of narrators so Muslims can follow authentic prophetic teachings with confidence.
What does hadith mean?
The Arabic word hadith literally means speech, report, or narration. In Islamic usage, it refers to the transmitted reports about what the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, did, or approved. When Muslims ask what hadith means in Islam, they are usually referring to these prophetic narrations that complement and explain the Quran.
What is Hadith Qudsi?
Hadith Qudsi (also called a sacred hadith) is a special category in which the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) conveys words attributed directly to Allah, while the wording of the narration itself belongs to the Prophet. Unlike Quranic verses, Hadith Qudsi are not part of the Quran, but they carry profound spiritual meaning and are studied alongside other authentic narrations.
How many hadith are there?
There is no single fixed number because hadith exist across many collections compiled over centuries. The six major Sunni books alone contain tens of thousands of narrations, with significant overlap when the same report appears in multiple sources. Random Hadith draws from verified entries across Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abi Dawud, Jami' at-Tirmidhi, Sunan an-Nasa'i, Sunan Ibn Majah, and related collections.
How does the random hadith generator work?
Random Hadith selects an authentic narration from our verified database each time you visit the homepage or click New Random Hadith. Every result includes the Arabic text, English translation, book name, chapter, and reference number. You can bookmark or share the unique URL so the same hadith stays available whenever you return.

Preserving the words of the Prophet for a new generation

Random Hadith makes the timeless wisdom of the Sunnah accessible, beautiful, and easy to revisit — one narration at a time.
