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.

In today’s complex and volatile world, the consequences of relying on fraudulent and counterfeit hadeeth to legitimize extremist behavior, issue violent fatwas, and justify blatant abuse, particularly of women, is not only far too easy but in fact dangerous. Israr Khan addresses the sensitive topic of hadeeth authentication, focusing on the criteria adopted by classical scholars to maintain that concentration on the continuity and accuracy of the chain of narrators, rather than the textual content of hadeeth, has led to particular hadeeth being included which either contradict other hadeeth directly, project the Prophet (s) in an uncharacteristic light, or do not reflect and/or conflict with the teachings of the Qur’an. The study traces in careful detail the historical development of the oral and written traditions, as well as the many targeted attempts at fabrication that took place, critiquing in methodical detail certain hadeeth which have come to be widely accepted as “authentic.”
The prominent collections we have today were made possible by the development of the science of hadeeth criticism, and Muslim scholars deserve deep appreciation for their painstaking work, as well as their invaluable contribution towards preserving the hadeeth literature to the best of their ability.
However, insists the author, the process is ongoing, and the closed-door policy which currently surrounds hadeeth authentication needs to be carefully reexamined.

Bulug Al-Maram is an unprecedented compilation of Hadith that in spite of being concise is complete in terms of benefit and diversity. This compilation of important issues and orders in Islam is equally necessary to scholars and students alike. Because of this, it has become a part of the cirriculum in many schools and madrasahs the world over. The famous scholars of the subcontinent put this book together in the Urdu language. Nearly every Hadith is accompanied by its translation, and followed by an commentary to explain every Hadith and extrapolate various Ahkam (orders) from them. This book can serve as a good reference for every Muslim.

Spanish Description

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.

"This little book has been composed in order to present to the English-reading public, Muslim as well as non-Muslim, the viewpoint of orthodox Islam with regard to Haddith literature, its origin and development, and its criticism by the Muslim doctors. For in English, only one book on the subject has been published (The Traditions of Islam by Alfred Guillaume, Oxford, 1924). It presents a complete history through the origin and development, its collection by the companions and history after the death of the companions as well as haddith literature, its special features and the sciences of the tradition. But is does not represent the Muslim point of view. In other European languages (like German, French and Dutch) several highly learned and critical works on Haddith have been published. But none of them represents orthodox Islamic views. "This book was begun in 1930 and was almost completed in 1936. In composing it, not only many of the important works of the modern European orient lists have been utilized but also a large part of the original Arabic sources, some of which (so far as I know) have not hither to been fully utilized. The reader, therefore, may find in this work some important material which may not be available in any of the European works on the subject."

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.

For the first time ever in English, after years of painstaking efforts at Dar-us-Salam, Jami' At-Tirmidhi is now available complete in 6 volumes!
Jami At-Tirmidhi is one of the classical books of hadeeth that was compiled by 279 AH when its compiler and the great collector of hadeeth Muhammad Ibn Isa Ibn Surah At-Tirmidhi (209-279 AH), passed away. He was a special student of the great scholar of hadeeth Imam Bukhari. He traveled a lot and quoted from many sheikhs. With 3,956 hadeeth, Jami' At-Tirmidi is an invaluable addition to any person's library of hadeeth collection.
Imam Abu Ismail `Abdullah bin Muhammad Al-Ansari in Harrah said about this book: "To me, his book is better than the book of Al-Bukhari and that of Muslim. Because only one who is an expert in knowledge can arrive at the benefit of the books of Al-Bukhari and Muslim, whereas in the case of the book of Abu `Eisa, every one of the people can reach its benefit."
In Jami`Al-Usul, Ibn Al-Athir said: "(It) is the best of the books, having the most benefit, the best organization, with the least repetition. It contains what others do not contain; like mention of the different school of thoughts, angles of argument, and clarifying the circumstances of the hadeeth being authentic, weak, gharib (odd), as well as disparaging and endorsing remarks (regarding narrators)."

This translation by Dar-us-Salam Publications has several additional advantages including:

• A final verdict about the authenticity of every hadeeth (in parentheses at end of every hadeeth) by the committee of scholars at Dar-us-Salam
• Comments in English after many hadeeth to explain unclear points and to further explain the hadeeth
• Translation from old manuscripts of hadeeth to get the most authentic version
• Revision by three different levels of scholars to get as close to the original meaning
• Arabic and English side by side for easy access
• As always on all Dar-us-Salam books, the paper quality, binding, design and the print are unmatched.
