[MM] Al Fawaid / الفوائد ( عطاءات العلم

Imagine a religion in which its adherents openly reject every saying, action, and event surrounding their Prophet &$. It is a Qur’anist’s reality. What exactly would lead to this stance, this scepticism, towards haduh? What would cause a Muslim to reject the teachings of the Prophet ¿E that he adores?! Everything about Islam is questionable without hadiths. What exactly do we know about the Prophet of Islam 2 without hadiths? Never mind his biography, we can’t even ascertain his identity. The Qur’än only identifies him as Muhammad (Q. 3:144). Couldn’t this be referring to Muhammad bin Maslama d. 43 AH) instead of Muhammad bin ‘Abdilläh (d. 11 AH)? This book is directed to hadith-rejecters, to Muslims in general that are on the fence, as well as to conservative Muslims that seek to reaffirm their stance in regards to the authority of hadiths.

This edition of Riyad-us-Saliheen has selected hadith from the full 2 volume edition. It has Arabic text, followed by English translation. It does not contain commentary like the larger editions.

Imam Nawawi was a great scholar of Hadith and Fiqh of his time. He compiled Riyad-us-Saliheen which acclaimed an important position in the Hadith Collections. It is an extremely popular and useful compilation of authentic hadith. Commentaries on the Ahadith were added by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf of Pakistan.

Keeping in view the problems of our times, we wished to print a concise volume of Riyad-us-Saliheen. For this volume, Sheikh Safi-ur-Rahman Mubarakpuri has made the selection of Ahddith.
