This two volumes book is a comprehensive commentary on al-Nawawi’s Forty Hadith.
This commendable work offers a detailed analysis of forty of the most important hadith of the Prophet (ﷺ) for a Muslim to understand. Beginning with a biography of Imam Al-Nawawi, the author then explains each hadith in depth. Each hadith features the Arabic text, English translation, selected vocabulary in Arabic with English translation, general comments, circumstances behind the hadith, brief biography of the narrator and then a detailed commentary that explains the hadith’s major subjects. Each subject is studied from a logical and shariah point of view, deducing the lessons of the hadith for the reader. The author then familiarises the reader with the interpretations of the great scholars and provides his own interpretation.
Highly recommended and ‘An important study for any student of hadith’.
