In our literature, there are hundreds of forty hadith translations in verse, prose or a mixture of both. Of these, only the verse ones have been studied and the prose hadith translations and commentaries have been neglected. This article draws attention to the tradition of prose forty hadith translations and introduces a new prose forty hadith translation that has not been mentioned in the literature before. The translation in question belongs to a translator named Hâfız Sâlih b. Süleyman, who was identified as living in the 18th century. The only copy of the work that we have been able to find is in the Fatih collection of the Suleymaniye Library, numbered 05430-003, between leaves 41b-74b in a 125-leaf mecmua. In the work, whose full title is Ha?a Kitab-ı ?adis-i Resulu'llah ‘Aleyhi’s-selam, forty hadiths, 11 of which are reliable, are translated in two or three lines. In the article, after giving information about who Hafiz Salih was, the form and content of his work were revealed. By transcribing this hadith translation from Arabic letters to Latin alphabet, it is aimed to take its place in the literature of Hâfız Sâlih and his work, which is closely related to several branches of science such as literature and hadith.
