A Treasury of Hadith - A Commentary on Nawawi’s Selection of Forty Prophetic Traditions

This treasury of hadith and classical commentary introduces foundational Islamic principles through the teachings of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

Imam An-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 An-Nawawi’s collection.
