Description from the publisher:

5.5"x8.5" Hadith Qudsi (“sacred hadith”) are those sayings of the Prophet Muhammad divinely communicated to him, though the actual wording need not necessarily be that of the Almighty. The present collection has been compiled from all the available books of Hadith. The forty chosen are all well authenticated and present many of the doctrinal, devotional and ethical elements of Islam. A scholarly introduction deals fully with the subject and shows the way in which sacred Hadith differ from the Holy Qur’an and Prophetic Hadith. The selection and translations have been made by two scholars whose previous translation of an-Nawawi’s Forty Hadith gained wide approval for its accuracy and readability. The present book, a companion volume to an-Nawawi’s Forty Hadith, has been printed in similar format, with the original Arabic text alongside the English translation.

Description from the publisher:

This is a great commentary on a great book. Br. Jamaal Zarabozo is to be congratulated for producing such a scholarly work. He is also to be thanked for giving the English speaking students of Islam the chance to taste the flavor of an in-depth knowledge of hadith, a flavor that has been up to now the prerogative of speakers of Islamic languages, especially Arabic. He is also to be commended for choosing al-Nawawi’s Forty Hadith because they are known to be among the most important sayings of the Prophet (peace be upon him). In-depth knowledge of them is thus sure to give the reader even if he or she is a novice, a comprehensive view of the most fundamental Islamic beliefs and principles. No wonder that this book has been for hundreds of years among the most popular of Islamic books in the Muslim world… There are many commentaries on this book from which Br. Zarabozo has definitely benefited; but his is not a mere translation of summary of those commentaries-it is an original commentary the English speaking reader will find more useful and interesting than mere translations of those traditional commentaries.

The advantage of this book comes out clearly in the original method the author followed in his study of these prophetic sayings… the author delves into the main business of studying the hadith in great detail and depth. Every phrase of the hadith is studied linguistically, logically, jurisprudentially, legally, and so on. The author uses his vast knowledge of the sources to put before the reader almost all that scholars old and new had to say on matters related to the hadith and almost all the lessons that they had deduced from it. But he does not only quote and translate; he also adds, discusses and evaluates. He gives you all the important interpretations of different parts of the hadith text and the arguments of the scholars who suggested them. This gives the reader the chance to penetrate the minds of those great scholars and to familiarize himself with their reasoning and argumentation…

Description from the publisher:

Hadith Qudsi are sayings of the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) as revealed to him by almighty Allah (swt). Unlike other hadiths which are by their nature prophetic, these are so named because their sanad (authority) is traced back not to the Prophet (pbuh) but to God (Allah).

The collection of this 40 hadith qudsi are selected from authentic sources such as Sahih Bukhari, Muslim, Nasa'I, Ibn Majah, etc. The book is in Arabic text with English translation.

Description from the publisher:

Imam an-Nawawi assembled his collection of forty-two ahadith together with the absolute minimum of fiqh and commentary necessary for people not to misunderstand their import. Ibn ’Uyaynah said, ”Ahadith are misleading except to those who have fiqh.” Ibn Wahb said, “Every man of hadith who has no Imam in fiqh is astray.” Of the huge number of collections of forty hadith, the one by Imam an-Nawawi is undoubtedly the most famous and most enduring. This is, to our Knowledge, that work’s first full translation into English and so we have called it “The complete Forty Hadith” of Imam an-Nawawi.

About the author: Muhyid-Din Abu Zakariyya Yahya ibn Sharaf an-Nawawi was born in Muharram of the year 631AH / October 1233 CE. He was one of the principle scholars of hadith in his day, and an important fiqh in the Shafi’I madhhab. Apart from his great learning, he was known for his fearless counseling of the leaders of his time and his doing without in the world. He died in his father’s house on Wednesday, 24th Rajab 676 AH / Dec.22, 1277CE
