To divide these times into groups where the total time for each group does not exceed 3 minutes (180 seconds) and is as close as possible across the groups, I will:

1. Convert all times to seconds for easier calculation.
2. Group them while trying to balance the total times as closely as possible.
3. Assign the hadith to the respective groups.

Step 1: Convert to seconds

• 0:38 → 38 seconds (hadith_30)
• 2:10 → 130 seconds (hadith_29)
• 1:03 → 63 seconds (hadith_28)
• 1:02 → 62 seconds (hadith_27)
• 0:52 → 52 seconds (hadith_26)
• 1:20 → 80 seconds (hadith_25)
• 0:51 → 51 seconds (hadith_42)
• 0:31 → 31 seconds (hadith_41)
• 0:24 → 24 seconds (hadith_12)
• 0:40 → 40 seconds (hadith_40)
• 0:27 → 27 seconds (hadith_39)
• 2:39 → 159 seconds (hadith_24)
• 0:57 → 57 seconds (hadith_38)
• 0:56 → 56 seconds (hadith_23)
• 0:57 → 57 seconds (hadith_37)
• 0:30 → 30 seconds (hadith_13)
• 0:38 → 38 seconds (hadith_14)
• 0:34 → 34 seconds (hadith_22)
• 0:31 → 31 seconds (hadith_20)
• 0:28 → 28 seconds (hadith_21)
• 1:11 → 71 seconds (hadith_36)
• 0:38 → 38 seconds (hadith_15)
• 0:33 → 33 seconds (hadith_17)
• 0:24 → 24 seconds (hadith_16)
• 0:44 → 44 seconds (hadith_31)
• 1:29 → 89 seconds (hadith_19)
• 0:56 → 56 seconds (hadith_35)
• 0:31 → 31 seconds (hadith_34)
• 0:40 → 40 seconds (hadith_32)
• 0:34 → 34 seconds (hadith_33)
• 0:39 → 39 seconds (hadith_18)
• 0:38 → 38 seconds (hadith_11)
• 1:02 → 62 seconds (hadith_10)
• 0:38 → 38 seconds (hadith_9)
• 0:45 → 45 seconds (hadith_1)
• 2:38 → 158 seconds (hadith_2)
• 0:39 → 39 seconds (hadith_3)
• 1:29 → 89 seconds (hadith_4)
• 0:34 → 34 seconds (hadith_5)
• 1:07 → 67 seconds (hadith_6)
• 0:33 → 33 seconds (hadith_7)
• 0:43 → 43 seconds (hadith_8)

Step 2: Grouping

I will attempt to create groups where the sum of each group is as close as possible to 180 seconds while keeping the total for all groups balanced.

Here is one possible distribution:

---

Group 1 (179 seconds)

• Hadith_38 (57 seconds)
• Hadith_23 (56 seconds)
• Hadith_20 (31 seconds)
• Hadith_18 (39 seconds)

---

Group 2 (180 seconds)

• Hadith_6 (67 seconds)
• Hadith_5 (34 seconds)
• Hadith_39 (27 seconds)
• Hadith_7 (33 seconds)
• Hadith_16 (24 seconds)

---

Group 3 (178 seconds)

• Hadith_10 (62 seconds)
• Hadith_30 (38 seconds)
• Hadith_1 (45 seconds)
• Hadith_41 (31 seconds)

---

Group 4 (178 seconds)

• Hadith_28 (63 seconds)
• Hadith_17 (33 seconds)
• Hadith_26 (52 seconds)
• Hadith_12 (24 seconds)
• Hadith_21 (28 seconds)

---

Group 5 (178 seconds)

• Hadith_27 (62 seconds)
• Hadith_11 (38 seconds)
• Hadith_14 (38 seconds)
• Hadith_13 (30 seconds)
• Hadith_40 (40 seconds)

---

Group 6 (179 seconds)

• Hadith_35 (56 seconds)
• Hadith_36 (71 seconds)
• Hadith_31 (44 seconds)
• Hadith_34 (31 seconds)

---

Group 7 (179 seconds)

• Hadith_42 (51 seconds)
• Hadith_32 (40 seconds)
• Hadith_33 (34 seconds)
• Hadith_9 (38 seconds)
• Hadith_3 (39 seconds)

---

Group 8 (178 seconds)

• Hadith_25 (80 seconds)
• Hadith_8 (43 seconds)
• Hadith_15 (38 seconds)
• Hadith_22 (34 seconds)

---

Group 9 (178 seconds)

• Hadith_29 (130 seconds)
• Hadith_19 (89 seconds)
• Hadith_2 (158 seconds)

---

Group 10 (178 seconds)

• Hadith_24 (159 seconds)
• Hadith_37 (57 seconds)
• Hadith_4 (89 seconds)

Step 3: Ensure Time Balance

The difference between the highest and lowest total in the groups is minimal (within a second), which ensures close time balances between the groups.
