Treasury in Islamic Thought and Civilization

A Treasury of Hadith

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Daqiq al-'Id

Imam Nawawi's collection of forty two hadith brings together some of the most important and pivotal Prophetic traditions. Each tradition encapsulates a great rule of the religion of Islam, described by Islamic religious scholars as an «axis» in Islam. The commentary of the great hadith master Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Daqiq al-'Id is simple but erudite. Mokrane Guezzou is a well-known translator of over ten works including the Qur'an commentary Wahidi's Asbab al-Nuzul. Ibn Daqiq al-'Id (d.1302) is accounted as one of Islam's great scholars in the fundamentals of Islamic law and belief. Imam Nawawi (1233-77) was an authority on hadith and a biographer, lexicologist, and Sufi.
