Description :

Sharh Sahih Muslim by Imam al-Nawawi [English & Arabic]. Al-Minhaj Sharh Sahih Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj. After the Qur’an, the Prophetic traditions (Hadith) are the most recognised source of wisdom in Islam. These traditions offer readers down the ages a glimpse of Prophet Muhammad’s, ﷺ, sayings and actions. Amongst the Hadith literature, Sahih Muslim is second only to the collection of Imam al-Bukhari, and is recognised by scholars of history and religion for its reliability.

The hadith collection of Imam Muslim (d. 261CE/875After Hijri), like that of Imam Bukhari, has been the object of innumerable commentaries since its compilation. However, there is no doubt that one commentary stands out as the most authoritative—namely that of the great Damascene scholar and prolific author Imam al-Nawawi (d. 676CE/1277_AH).

Imam al-Nawawi’s commentary on Sahih Muslim is one of the most highly regarded works in Islamic thought and literature, and often referred to as a super-commentary. Accepted by every Sunni school of thought, and foundational in the Shafi'i school, this text, available for the first time in English, alongside the original Arabic text and translation of all the hadiths, is famed throughout the Muslim world.

This multidisciplinary commentary brings forth rich insights into the Arabic Language, Qur'anic Studies, Islamic Law and Jurisprudence, Islamic Theology, Islamic Spirituality and Islamic History.

The author : Imam an Nawawi, alayhi ar-Rahman w'al-Ridwan, [631–676 _A.H. /1234–1277_C.E.] is one of the great Sufi scholars, strictest latter-time hadith masters, and most meticulous of jurists, 'Shaykh al-Islam' al-Imam Muhyiddin Yahya ibn Sharaf al-Nawawi is with al-Rafi`i as the principal reference of the late Shafi`i school.


His books remain authoritative in the methodology of the law, in Qur'an commentary, and in hadith. His commentary of Sahih Muslim is second only to Ibn Hajar's commentary of Sahih Bukhari. Allah Almighty gave his famous compilation of Forty Hadiths more circulation and fame than possibly any other book of hadith, large or small, and has allowed an-Nawawi to be of immense benefit to the Community of Islam.
