The 40 Hadith of Imam al-Nawawi

Paperback hadith book: Imam al-Nawawi's collection of forty Prophetic hadith, known as the Arba'in, in English and Arabic. For readers aged 16+.

Known in Arabic simply as the Arba'in, "The Forty," this is the most widely known and widely read small compilation of Prophetic hadith. Across the world, Imam al-Nawawi's collection is often the first, and sometimes the only, hadith text many Muslims study in their lives.

Each hadith in this collection serves as a foundational proof text in at least one area of the Islamic sciences. The hadith are also very dense in meaning: one of Allah's gifts to His Prophet ﷺ was the ability to convey volumes in only a few words, and the Hadith of the Arba'in are among the best examples of this.

This edition is easy to read and is intended to be returned to again and again.
