Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a concise yet comprehensive commentary on al-Nawawi's Forty Ḥadith focusing on the meanings, lessons, and benefits of each narration. Imam al-Nawawi's (r) collection of forty ḥadith, which actually consists of forty two ḥadith, is perhaps the most widely studied ḥadith collection across the Muslim world. It is taught and studied in Islamic schools, seminaries, universities, and hadith gatherings across all academic traditions and throughout every Muslim community. The wide acceptance of this compilation and the fact that it is still being studied today is a testimony to the sincerity, hard work, and dedication of its author. In this work, Imam al-Nawawi (r) selected those narrations that he felt covered the most fundamental concepts of faith and religion.
