A Treasury of Hadith: A Commentary on Nawawi’s Forty Prophetic Traditions – Imam Yahya an Nawawi

This treasury of hadith and classical commentary introduces foundational Islamic principles through the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. Imam Nawawi’s collection of 42 hadith brings together some of the most important and pivotal Prophetic traditions. Each tradition encapsulates a great rule of the religion of Islam, described by Islamic religious scholars as an ‘axis’ in Islam. The commentary of the great hadith master Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Daqiq al-‘Id is simple but erudite and was the first prepared on Imam Nawawi’s collection.
