The Explanation of an-Nawawi’s 40 Hadith [Arabic-English] (2 Vol. Set)

A comprehensive and educational commentary on Al-Arbaʿīn an-Nawawiyyah (Imam al-Nawawī’s Forty Hadith), this two-volume work presents Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān’s detailed explanation of one of the most renowned hadith collections in Islam.

The work is divided into two volumes, each covering twenty hadiths. In the introduction to the first volume, Shaykh al-Fawzān discusses the significance of hadith, provides a brief biography of Imam al-Nawawī, and outlines the methodology behind the compilation of the Forty Hadith.

What follows is a clear and systematic explanation of each hadith. Shaykh al-Fawzān examines the chain of transmission (isnād), clarifies the meanings, and highlights the legal and theological implications. His commentary is further enriched with supporting evidence from the Qurʾān and other authentic hadiths from the Sunnah, offering the reader a well-rounded and deeper understanding.

The second volume continues in the same manner with the remaining twenty hadiths, maintaining the same level of clarity and scholarly depth.

This commentary is based on lessons delivered by Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān after the Fajr prayer at Masjid Ḥammād ibn Salamah in Riyadh, giving the work a practical and engaging teaching style.

An invaluable resource for students of knowledge and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Imam al-Nawawī’s Forty Hadith and the foundational principles of Islam.
