101 Hadith Qudsi by pImam ibn Arabi

part three
This ¢ad¨th was reported to me several times by the Shaykh, the Imam, scion
of the Prophet, transmitter of ¢ad¨th, Ab¬ Mu¢ammad Y¬nus b. Ya¢yå b. Ab¬
al-±asan b. Ab¬ al-Barakåt b. A¢mad b. ¡Abdallåh b. Mu¢ammad b. A¢mad
b. ±amza b. Ism塨l b. Mu¢ammad b. ¡Ôså b. M¬så b. Mu¢ammad b. ¡Al¨ b.
¡Abdallåh b. al-¡Abbås, uncle of the Messenger of God, may God give him
blessings and peace!
Sometimes I read it aloud to him while he listened, and sometimes he
read it to me while I listened, [and this was] in the interior of the Sacred
Precinct (al-±aram al-Shar¨f ) and facing the most venerated Ka¡ba, in Jumåda
al-åkhira of the year 599. He told me he had received it himself from the
Q剨 Ab¬ al-Fa‰l Mu¢ammad b. ¡Umar b. Y¬suf al-Urmaw¨, from Ab¬ Bakr
Mu¢ammad b. ¡Al¨ b. Mu¢ammad known as Ibn Khayyå†, from Ab¬ Sahl
Ma¢m¬d b. ¡Umar al-¡Ukbar¨, from Ab¬ Bakr Mu¢ammad b. al-±asan al-
Naqqåsh, from Ab¬ Bakr b. al-±usayn al-Êabar¨ al-Buz¬r¨, from Mu¢ammad
b. ±umayd al-Råz¨, from Salama b. Íåli¢, from Qåsim b. al-±akam,
from Salåm al-Êaw¨l, from Ghiyåth b. al-Musayyab, from ¡Abd al-Ra¢mån
b. Ghanm and Zayd b. Wahb, from ¡Abdallåh b. Mas¡¬d. He recounted from
¡Al¨ the ¢ad¨th of “the Stations of the Resurrection” and from the Prophet
the ¢ad¨th of “God’s Address to the people of Paradise”, which we have
mentioned.
Here ends the book entitled “The Niche of Lights concerning some of the
communications which have been transmitted from God, ever glori¥ed is
He”. This third part was completed, and with it the whole work, in the
Sacred Precinct of Mecca in the afternoon of Sunday, the third day of the
month of Jumåda al-åkhira, in the year 599 [16 February 1203]. It was
written in his own hand by its author, Mu¢ammad b. ¡Al¨ b. Mu¢ammad b.
al-¡Arab¨ al-Ê夨 al-±åtim¨. May God have mercy on the one who reads it,
and may He bless the one who has written it.
And may God bless our master Muhammad, his family and his companions,
and may He greet them all with peace.
O You, my surest con¥dence!
O You, my abiding hope!
May You seal my work with great good! 15
