An AWAIR Pick,
By AWAIR Reviews (Berkeley, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Al-Nawawi's Forty Hadith (Paperback)
There are two main sources for an under-standing of Islam: the Qur'an (which Mus-lims believe to be God's word revealed), and the collections of the recorded and authenticated words, actions and sanctions of the Prophet Muhammad which make up the sunna and which are normally referred to as Hadith. The compiler of this short book of Hadith was the Imam An-Nawawi. Born in 1233 AD in the Syrian village of Nawa, he enjoyed a high reputation as a jurist and scholar of Hadith. This selection is generally regarded as the most popular anthology and the best introduction to the study of Muhammad's sayings, which, together with the Holy Qur'an, contain the essential teachings of Islam. The Arabic original is printed alongside the English translation. Each Hadith is presented with its sanad, or chain of transmitters or authorities. It is said that Paradise is the reward for the Muslim who can recite forty Hadith. (See the Hadith related by the women Companions of the Prophet Muhammad, at left.)Teachers/Librarians: good resource for 7th-adult, social studies/humanities
