Hadith of Abu Dawud

Abu Dawud opened a letter he addressed to the people of Mecca with the following advice: “Peace upon you. Verily, I encourage you to praise Allah, the one besides whom there is no other God. And I beseech (God) that He sends His mercy upon Muhammad, peace upon him, every time he is mentioned. May Allah grant all of us a state of well being that will never be followed by any tribulation or torment.”

Imam Abu Dawud (d. AH 275, Basra)

Imam Abu Dawud (Sulayman b. al-Asha‘ab b. Ishaq al-Azdi) was a master hadith scholar who collected many hadiths. He traveled in search of hadith throughout the Muslim world. He is the compiler of one of the seven major hadith collections, Sunan Abu Dawud.
