An Arba’in is a type of Hadith collection in which forty Hadiths are compiled. According to Mulla Katib Chilapi, ‘Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak (d. 181 A.H.) wrote the first compilation of this type, after whom many collections of this type came into existence, such as those compiled by:
- Muqammad ibn Aslam al-Tusi
- Hafiz al-Daraqutni
- Hafiz ibn Hajar al-‘Asqalani
This old tradition of compiling arba’in is not conventional- rather, the basis for this is a Hadith that encourages the compilation of forty Hadiths, or conveying them to the people. The Prophet (saw) said: Whoever preserves for my nation forty Hadiths regarding their religion, Allah the Almighty and Exalted shall raise him on the Day of Judgement amongst the group of jurists and scholars.
