The hadith, sometimes called traditions, are texts which relate the sayings and doings of the Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace. In his famous book of forty hadith, Imam Nawawi (d. 676 A.H./1277 C.E.) relates that the Messenger of God said, "Whosoever commits to memory for my ummah (religious community) forty traditions concerning religion will be resurrected by God in the company of the jurists and the learned." In other versions, it is said that the Prophet\ will be "an intercessor and witness" for such a person, or that they will be allowed to enter Paradise from any gate they wish, or that "they shall be recorded amongst the ranks of the jurists and resurrected in the company of the martyrs".
