Literary analysis of Hadith 29 by An-Nawawi demonstrates that it is constructed in a thoughtfull way. Its text can be divided into four units. Four disturbing questions of Mu’az Ibn Jabal and Muhammad are the ground for divide. The theme of this dialogue are the terms of salvation: the guide to Paradise and the evasion of damnation in Hell. First Prophet specified the triad of religious obligations: fast-alms-prayer but the more important is the triad: islam-prayer-jihad, while in the Gospel all is based on the triad: divine love-love of neighbour-love self. The literary composition of this hadith is based on the principles of the rhetoric, which were formed in the cultural circle of the Near East. They result in the composition of the text in paralel order, which is referred to as concentric construction. It is not linear but involute, concentrated on one essential centre. The centre of this hadith construction is a Koranic quotation from surah XXXII, 16–17. The author of hadith, like biblical authors, puts together and arranges single elements of the constructions in such a way that individual members of its audience can deliberately chose their own way of salvation. The use of biblical patterns is intentional and indicates that the biblical tradition of Old and New Testament was known in the islamic environment of Koranic exegists. It also proves that the biblical doctrine is attractive to them.
