About The Book

al-Arbaeen al-Nawawiyya — Imam al-Nawawi's collection of 42 foundational hadiths (the traditional 'forty' being meant generously) — is the universal introductory hadith curriculum of the Sunni world. Each hadith is one of the foundational hadiths from which scholars have traditionally said the entire teaching of Islam can be derived: the hadith of intentions, the hadith of Gabriel (Islam, Iman, Ihsan), the hadith of the believer's lawful and forbidden, the hadith on the doer of evil, the hadith on the Prophet's brotherhood with his followers, and others. The work has been committed to memory by Sunnis in every land for more than seven centuries — typically the first hadith corpus a young Sunni student commits to memory.

More than fifty significant commentaries have been written on the Arbaeen, foremost among them those of Ibn Daqiq al-Id, Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (his Jami al-Ulum wa al-Hikam is a substantial two-volume work on the collection), and al-Nawawi's own auto-commentary (which forms the basis of subsequent teaching of the matn).

About The Author

Imam Yahya b. Sharaf al-Nawawi (631-676 AH / 1233-1277 CE) was the supreme Shafii authority of the late Ayyubid and early Mamluk Damascus and one of the most influential Sunni scholars in the entire history of the school. His Minhaj al-Talibin is the foundational matn of late Shafii fiqh; his al-Adhkar, Riyad al-Salihin, and al-Arbaeen are among the most-recited devotional works in the entire Sunni canon; his commentaries on Sahih Muslim and his Bustan al-Arifin span the disciplines of hadith and tasawwuf.

About the Contributor(s)

About the author

al-Nawawi: Abu Zakariya Yahya ibn Sharaf al-Nawawi (631-676 AH / 1233-1277 CE) was born in the village of Nawa, south of Damascus, from which he takes his name. As a young man he moved to Damascus, then a great center of learning, where he immersed himself in the religious sciences with extraordinary discipline, reportedly attending many study circles each day. Shafiʿi in law, he became one of the school's foremost authorities, and is honored with the title Muhyi al-Din, "reviver of the religion." He was renowned for his piety, simplicity, and detachment from worldly comfort, declining wealth and position to remain devoted to learning and teaching. Though his life was short, his scholarship was vast and remarkably enduring. Among his landmark works are Riyad al-Salihin, a thematically arranged collection of nearly two thousand hadith on ethics, worship, and noble character that remains among the most widely read books in the Muslim world; al-Arbaʿun (the Forty Hadith), a concise gathering of foundational traditions studied by beginners and scholars alike; Kitab al-Adhkar, on supplication and remembrance of God; the influential Shafiʿi legal manual Minhaj al-Talibin; and al-Minhaj, his detailed commentary on Sahih Muslim. His writings continue to anchor traditional Islamic study to this day.
