How Adhkar Sources and Gradings Are Shown
Every dhikr names the book it comes from. This page explains each part of a source line, and what the grading shown with it does and does not tell you.
Where the texts come from
The 1148 adhkar here come from one corpus. Each has its Arabic text and one or more citations to printed hadith books or to the Qur'an.
Arabic status: 1085 matched to the cited printed source, 44 corrected to match it, 19 not yet verified.
Title, translation and explanation are written with AI and checked against the cited sources.
Corpus built on 2026-09-09, schema version 4.
What each part of a source line means
- Book
- The book the text is taken from, by its short title. In Arabic and Urdu the Arabic title is shown.
- Number
- The hadith number in that book. If the book gives none, the volume and page of the printed edition are shown instead, as volume/page.
- Link
- Selecting a source opens the printed page in the Maktabah, or the verse in the Qur'an reader, so you can check the text yourself.
- Grading
- The grading phrase is quoted in Arabic as the source prints it, followed by the scholar who gave it when the corpus records one. The label beside it (Sahih, Hasan, Da'if) only classifies that phrase. This site does not grade hadith.
- Chain
- When a phrase judges only the chain of narrators, the label says so, for example “Sahih chain”. It does not grade the wording of the hadith.
- Badge
- The badge on a dhikr shows the strongest backing found for it, from a Qur'an verse down to “No source found”.
A reference shows where a text is found. It does not guarantee that the hadith is authentic. Read the grading and who gave it, and check the printed page.
Gradings recorded in the corpus
250 citations across 170 adhkar carry a grading phrase. The table counts citations, so one dhikr can appear more than once.
| Class | On the hadith | On the chain only | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sahih | 70 | 59 | 129 |
| Hasan | 55 | 26 | 81 |
| Da'if | 0 | 18 | 18 |
| Other, such as gharib or mursal | 15 | 7 | 22 |

Unverified sources
19 adhkar carry the badge “Source not yet verified”. Their Arabic has not been matched to a printed source yet, so treat them as unconfirmed.

Questions and answers
Does a reference mean the hadith is authentic?
No. A reference shows where the text is found. The grading is shown separately, in the words of the source and with the scholar who gave it when the corpus records one. Check the printed page yourself.
What does the unverified source badge mean?
The Arabic of that dhikr has not been matched to a printed source yet. It is shown because it is in the corpus, not because it is confirmed. The badge reads “Source not yet verified”.
Who writes the gradings?
Not this site. Each grading phrase is quoted from the cited book or from the scholar named beside it. The Sahih, Hasan and Da'if labels only classify the quoted phrase.
Are the translations copied from a printed book?
No. Titles, translations and explanations are written with AI and checked against the cited sources. The Arabic is matched to the cited printed editions, except for adhkar that carry the unverified badge.
