The Riyad as-Salihin of Imam al-Nawawi is a well known and popular collection of hadiths covering various themes. The purpose of the book, in the words of the author, is: 


         ''... I felt that I should compile a short collection of authentic hadiths
               which will be means for the traveller to the hereafter, through which
               he will acquire internal and external ettiquette, which will combine
               [hadiths] which create a yearning [for Paradise] and a fear [of Hell],
               and all other types of ettiquette for those treading the path. These
               hadiths will have lessons on abstention (zuhd), [spiritual] exercise
               for the souls, the development of character, the purifications and
               treatment for the hearts, the protection of the limbs and removing
               their waywardness, and other objectives of the 'arifin (those who
               have truly recognised)...''
