1.0 INTRODUCTION
There are two hadith texts to be discussed in this unit. These are hadiths
29 and 30. The first one which comes as a reply to a question, is based
on basic principles of Islam while the second hadith (hadith 30)
emphasises the need to abide by those principles and not to violate them.
As usual, the discussion follows the presentation of the Arabic text,
translation, commentary and lessons therein.

At the end of this unit, you should be able to:
• read all the hadith texts fluently
