Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه‏) reported: The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said, “By Allah, he is not a believer! By Allah, he is not a believer! By Allah, he is not a believer.” It was asked, “Who is that, O Messenger of Allah?” He said, “One whose neighbour does not feel safe from his evil.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] The Prohibition of Observing Saum (Fasting) after the Middle of Sha'ban except for the one who fasts the day before (as in the three days of the middle of the month) or it coincides with his regular habit of fasting on Monday and Thursday and it coincides with this day. Eating from What is in Front of One and Disciplining and Educating others to not Eat in an improper way Each section of the book provides exhaustive information on a specific topic. Every section carries a title. For instance, the section about mannerisms is entitled ‘Book One – The Book of Good Manners’; the section dealing with Hajj is entitled ‘Book Ten – The Book of Hajj’ and so on. This kind of systematic categorization of the contents of this book of Ahadith has made it an easy resource for Muslims. If I have mentioned at the end of the tradition ‘Mutafiqun ‘Alayhi – متفقٌ عليه it denotes: Narrated by al-Bukhari and al-Muslim.Permissibility of Drinking Water from all Types of Clean Vessels Except Those of Gold and Silver and the Permissibility of Drinking by Putting the Mouth in a Vessel Obligation of Obedience to the Ruler in what is Lawful and Prohibition of Obeying them in what is Unlawful And verily, whosoever shows patience and forgives, that would truly be from the things recommended by Allah.” (42:43) As for those who strive hard in Us (Our Cause), We will surely, guide them to Our paths (i.e., Allah's religion - Islamic Monotheism). And verily, Allah is with the Muhsinun (good doers)." (29:69)

On the authority of Abee Ya’la Shaddaad bin Aws, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet said, ‘The wise is he who submits his soul, subjugates it to his Lord and works for that which is after death. The incompetent is he who follows his desires and wishes from Allaah [what he] wishes.’ “ And I feel the author’s excuse, may Allah have mercy upon him, for these weak Ahadith falling into his work, despite his attempt to only relate authentic Ahadith in it, is due to his reliance, for the most part, on Imaam Tirmithi’s rulings of hassan and saheeh and upon Abu Dawood’s remaining silent about the rulings of certain Ahadith . . .” The love of such saints is a means to attain the Pleasure of Allah, and enmity (hatred and repulsion) with them is a cause of His serious displeasure and wrath. And verily, this is My straight path, so follow it, and follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you away from His path.” (6:153) Some of the prestigious works of Imam Nawawi, apart from the compilation of the “40 Ḥadīth” (al-Arbaʿīn) include:

Obligation of Rulers to show Kindness to their Subjects, Advising them, Being Kind to them, Prohibition from cheating them, Being Harsh with them, Ignoring What Benefits Them and Their Needs Hence, I deemed it appropriate to compile an abridgement of authentic traditions, depicting a path for its master to tread upon towards the Hereafter. Acquiring manners and etiquettes, concealed and apparent. [In addition] to the inclusion of a provision for awakening a desire and providing a source of fear [impelling action]. [Incorporating] all the categories of manners and etiquettes for those treading upon this path. [Extracted] from the traditions pertaining to asceticism, the spiritual refinement of the soul, and the perfection of good character. the purification and treatment of the heart, and preservation of the limbs. The elimination of deviation and crookedness, in addition to other [matters] from [amongst] the objectives of the cognisant [TN – Those amongst creation who are acquainted with the objective]. Bidding Farewell and Advising Them on the Eve of Departure for a Journey or Other Things and Praying for Him and asking Him to Pray for You

Some of his prestigious works include Commentary on Sahih Bukhari, Tahdhib-ul-Asma was-Sifat, Kitab-ul-Adhkar, At-Tibyan, Arba’een, Riyadh-us-Saliheen, Mukhtasar At-Tirmidhi, and Tabaqat Ash-Shafi’iyah. Imam An-Nawawi died at Nawa on the 24 th of Rajab 676 A.H. and he was buried in his home town. Imam Albani states that this Hadith is weak because ‘its isnaad is da’eef – in it is al Muthanna bin Abdir Rahmaan al Khazzaaee, who is majhool, as stated by Ibn ul Madeenee.’

CHAPTER 4 (4). TRUTHFULNESS

Prohibition of Continuously Fasting ( Wiṣāl) which is to fast for two or more successive days without eating or drinking in between. The Excellence of Worship in the time of Tribulations such as Times of Confusion (when truth and falsehood are mixed and not clear) and Trials (i.e. Killing) etc. Desirability of Lying down on one's right side after the Sunnah of Fajr Prayer and Inducement to (Pray) Them Whether or not a person prayed ( tahajjud) at night or not. Imam An Nawawi’s full name was Abu Zakaria Mohiuddin Yahya. He was the son of Sharaf ibn Muriy ibn Hasan ibn Husain ibn Jum’a ibn Hazam Al-Hazami Annawawi and was born at a place named Nawa near Damascus in the year 631 A.H. Imam An Nawawi had a great love for knowledge and learning. Even at the very young age of ten he declined all offers made by the children of his age for fun and games; instead he spent his hours in reciting the Quran and enlightening his heart with knowledge. According to Sheikh Yasin bin Yousad Marakashi: Undesirability of Praising a Person in his Presence for the one for whom it is feared this will corrupt him through Self Admiration (Vanity) and so on, and Permissibility to do so if there is no such fear

Prohibition of using Utensils made of Gold and Silver while Eating, Drinking, Ablution and all forms of use Hadith 95. Narrated Abu Hurairah (R) Messenger (S) said, "Allah the Exalted has said: 'I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a Pious worshipper of Mine. And the most beloved thing with which My slave comes nearer to Me is what I have enjoined upon him; and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawafil (prayer or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) till I love him. When I love him I become his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks (something) from Me, I give him, and if he asks My Protection (refuge), I protect him."' [Al-Bukhari] Harithah bin Wahab (رضي الله عنه‏) reported: Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said, “Shall I not inform you about the inmates of Hell? It is every violent, impertinent and proud person.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] At a young age, Imam Nawawi learnt to read the Noble Qur’an and by that time he nearly had attained puberty. Nawā, at the time, had no academic or scholarly atmosphere and there were religious academies or institutions where one could earn excellence in religious learning, so his father took him to Damascus, which was considered the center of learning and scholarship, and the students from across the Ummah gathered there for Islamic learning. During that period, there were more than three hundred institutes, colleges, and universities in Damascus.The Meadows of the Righteous, also referred to as The Gardens of the Righteous (Arabic: رياض الصالحين Riyadh as-Salihin or Riyadh as-Saaliheen), is a compilation of verses from the Qur'an supplemented by ḥadīth narratives written by Al-Nawawi from Damascus (1233–1277). The ḥadīth by al-Nawawī belongs to the category of canonical Arabic collections of Islamic morals, acts of worship, and manners, which are attributed to Muḥammad by Muslim scholars but not found in the Qurʾān. Prohibition of two Holding Private Conversation Between Two People When there are only Three without their permission Except for (Pressing) Reason And Examples Are They Speak To Each Other Secretly So That He Does Not Hear Them or in a Language that the Third Person Does Not Understand O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with Allah if that (believer) who has At-Taqwa [he is one of the Muttaqub (the pious)].” (49:13) Imam Nawawi had a very short life (44 years) but even during this short period, he wrote a large number of books on various subjects. Nearly every work is a masterpiece and a treasure of knowledge. Hundreds of thousands of people have benefited from these works.
