101 Hadith Qudsi by pImam ibn Arabi

part one
The servant who is in utter need of God, Mu¢ammad ibn ¡Al¨ ibn Mu¢ammad
ibn al-¡Arab¨, may God forgive him and his parents, his brothers, his
companions and all muslims, says:
The forty ¢ad¨th are completed according to what I have recorded, may
God give ease and the best of help by means of them, together with, as I
mentioned, chains of transmission going directly back to God the High.
Most of them I have collected from my companions, and I have transmitted
them on the authority of the teacher from whom they themselves received
them. In so doing, I wished to mention their place in the transmission of the
Revelation, that they may also be placed in the line of the knowers of ¢ad¨th
of the Messenger of God, may God’s blessing and peace be upon him.
I shall now proceed to cite forty traditions going back to God but without
chains of transmission.
