Islam is the religion of llm, or knowledge, especially such knowledge as is related to the understanding of Allah. The Prophet Muhammad held that seeking knowledge was incumbent on every Muslim. According to a Hadith narrated by Ibn Abbas, the Messenger of Allah said, "For those who go on a quest for knowledge, Allah will smooth the path to Paradise: As the title suggests, this book is a compilation of 40 Hadiths which stress the importance of knowledge, learning, and teaching. The selection for this compilation has been made and rendered into English by Dr. Assad Nimer Busool. Dr. Busool is a prolific writer in English, Arabic and Hebrew.

The Hadith and the Sunnah are keys to understanding and implementing the ordinances of the Qur'an. The Qur'an presents to us a broad Idea of religious principles, and the Hadith and the Sunnah specify and clarify them for us and help us put them into practice in our daily life. Indeed, without the Hadith and the Sunnah, we cannot apply any of the rules of the Qur'an on, for example, Salah) Zakah, Hajj, inheritance, etc. This Anthology of Hadith Sharif contains over 240 Hadith divided into 24 themes. The author has selected at least ten Hadiths to represent each theme. This compilation aims to help Muslims comprehend the Islamic faith through the Hadith of the Prophet.

There are two main sources of Islamic knowledge: the Holy Quran and the collection of the recorded words, actions, and sanctions of the Prophet Muhammad which make up the sunnah. These are commonly referred to as hadith. While the Quran remains the foremost source of Islamic knowledge, the sunnah complements the teachings of the Quran and should be followed as the Quran indicates in the following verse: “And whatsoever the Messenger gives you, take it. And whatsoever he forbids, abstain (from it).” Thus, without a study of hadith, Muslims cannot complete their knowledge of their faith, and non-Muslims are unable to form a true picture of Islam and its fundamental spiritual, moral, legislative, and cultural principles.

This book contains only authentic, well-documented hadiths, which are presented in Arabic and translated into modern English.

From the Introduction by Dr. Jaafar Sheikh Idris:
This is a great commentary on a great book. Br. Jamaal Zarabozo is to be congratulated for producing such a scholarly work. He is also to be thanked for giving the English speaking students of Islam the chance to taste the flavor of an in-depth knowledge of haddith, a flavor that has been up to now the prerogative of speakers of Islamic languages, especially Arabic. He is also to be commended for choosing al-Nawawi's Forty Haddith because they are known to be among the most important sayings of the Prophet (peace be upon him). In-depth knowledge of them is thus sure to give the reader even if he or she is a novice, a comprehensive view of the most fundamental Islamic beliefs and principles. No wonder that this book has been for hundreds of years among the most popular of Islamic books in the Muslim world... There are many commentaries on this book from which Br. Zarabozo has definitely benefited; but his is not a mere translation of summary of those commentaries-it is an original commentary the English speaking reader will find more useful and interesting than mere translations of those traditional commentaries.
The advantage of this book comes out clearly in the original method the author followed in his study of these prophetic sayings... the author delves into the main business of studying the haddith in great detail and depth. Every phrase of the haddith is studied linguistically, logically, jurisprudentially, legally, and so on. The author uses his vast knowledge of the sources to put before the reader almost all that scholars old and new had to say on matters related to the haddith and almost all the lessons that they had deduced from it. But he does not only quote and translate; he also adds, discusses and evaluates. He gives you all the important interpretations of different parts of the haddith text and the arguments of the scholars who suggested them. This gives the reader the chance to penetrate the minds of those great scholars and to familiarize himself with their reasoning and argumentation.
