A Treasury of Hadith

A Treasury of Hadith presents the first English translation of Ibn Daqiq al-'Id's commentary on Imam Nawawi's celebrated collection of forty-two hadith, a text long used to introduce students to the core principles of Islamic law and practice. Each hadith in the original collection is treated by Nawawi as encapsulating a major rule of the religion, and Ibn Daqiq al-'Id's commentary, translated by Mokrane Guezzou, explains the legal, theological, and linguistic dimensions of each tradition in a style described as both accessible and scholarly. Published as part of Kube's Treasury in Islamic Thought and Civilization series, the book is aimed at students of hadith and Islamic law as well as general readers wanting a deeper grounding in the sources behind Nawawi's widely studied selection.
