The book is a translation from the original Arabic of forty Hadeeth of Prophet Muhammad collected by Imam Yahya ibn Sharaf Al-Nawawi from the Sahih of Bukhari and Muslim. These hadeeth deal with matters of Islamic faith, sincerity in work and give guidance for daily conduct of Muslim life and interaction between fellow human beings.

In this book, the adeeth is used to facilitate the learning of the Arabic language. To achieve this, forty hadeeth narrations, of varying lengths, were included in order to help students develop a better understanding of the language.
Two stories, considered the most beautiful in Islamic history, were also added: the Muslim migration to Abyssinia, the Al-Najashi story, and Salman Al-Farisi’s long search for truth.
Because the modern ways of teaching languages depend on texts for syntax explanation, each syntax issue mentioned includes a full explanation after each hadeeth. The most important vocabulary words are also provided.
The vocabulary explanations are enhanced by various exercises. Some are designed for comprehension and others for testing the student in the areas of language and syntax.

This book endeavors to ensure that the Hadith scholars pay attention to codifying the Prophetic Hadith, establishing the various remarkable sciences related to, for example, the study of the chain of narrators (sanad), actual wording of the hadith (matn), history of the Hadith narrators and each of their criticisms (jarḥ) or praise (ta'dil), obvious and indiscernible mistakes of the Hadith, unusual hadiths conveyed only by one narrator, various ones, and the science of abrogation (al-Nasikh wal-Mansukh), and others. But, up until now, Hadith scholars did not pay close attention to the tremendous literary side of their works.
Scholars and teachers continue studying Hadith from the aspects of Jurisprudence, legislative and terminology alone. The scholars used to take examples from Aktham Ibn Saifi Al-Jaheli and the speeches of Ali Bin Abi Taleb while the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was the ideal for writers in his times and even today. In terms of beauty, eloquence and rhetoric, his words, peace and blessings be upon him, come in only second after the Holy Quran.
This book exposes the linguistic and artistic expression of the Hadith. It starts with quotes from former scholars who recorded terms of the Prophetic Hadith, and then mentions what they wrote while documenting Hadiths in the common Hadith books. Also, this book briefly demonstrates the subjects of the developed Hadith science and how Hadith narrators listened to these Hadith and learned them by heart. Finally, the book clarifies three main Hadith classifications: authentic, good and weak.
The heart of the book talks about the noble Prophet’s personality, source of his eloquence, his opinion regarding poetry, and compares between metaphor and styles used in the Hadiths and in the Holy Qur'an. Finally, the author finishes the book with subjects that deal with daily life using metaphoric phrases about the expressive art of linguistics and rhetoric.

Bulugh al-Maram is the shortened name of a collection of ahadith originally written and compiled in the 8th century by the great scholar Al Hafiz Ibn Hajar Asqalani, who has included the ahadith’s origins, narrator, and comparisons of different versions. This book entitled, Bulugh al-Maram min Adillat al-Ahkam (Attainment of the Objective According to Evidences of the Ordinances), contains a total of 1,358 ahadith. Bulugh Al-Maram has been accepted widely and is one of the most sought after books of ahadith. Bulugh Al-Maram is based upon ahadith of our Prophet (s) that have been sources of Islamic Jurisprudence. Distinctive features of this book include the following:

• Ahadith have been shortened to present main ideas according to classifications under the chapters.
• Bulugh al-Maram is unique in that all of the compiled ahadith have been sources for Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence) rulings.
• The author mentions the origins of each hadith, a comparison between different versions, and sources.
• This book contains a collection of ahadith found in the Sahih Sita (the 6 authentic ahadith collections, namely Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, An Nasa’i, Ahmed and At-Trimidhi).
• The topics range from marriage to business transactions to the five pillars of Islam.
• Complicated terms and ideas have been thoroughly explained in foot notes.
  

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.

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.

Generally regarded as the single most authentic collection of hadeeth, Sahih Al-Bukhari covers almost all aspects of life in providing proper guidance from the Messenger of Allah (s). This 9-Volume Bukhari is the work of over 16 years by Imam Bukhari who before writing any hadeeth in this book performed two rak'at prayer of guidance from Allah, and when he was sure of the hadeeth's authenticity, he wrote it in the book. Tremendous amounts of errors exist in the translations by other translators. To eliminate the problem, Dar-us-Salam spent over 3 years in the publication of this book and presented a book which is translated into English in a very easy & simple language, so that all readers can understand it without difficulty. This is the unabridged version consisting of 7,563 hadeeth (about 4,000 pages) which are presented neatly in small books and printed on fine paper. Each book (subtopics in each volume categorized by very broad topics such as the Book of As-Salat) contains many chapters which represent one logical unit of hadeeth. Each book contains anywhere from one to 150 chapters with each chapter containing several hadeeth. This book will be a great addition to your library while giving you a true perspective on the traditions of the Prophet (s).
