Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Daqiq al-'Id and Imam Nawawi
Translated by Mokrane Guezzou

This treasury of hadith is as a short introduction to foundational Islamic principles through the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad.

Imam Nawawi's collection of forty two hadith brings together some of the most important and pivotal Prophetic traditions. Each tradition encapsulates a great rule of the religion of Islam, described by Islamic religious scholars as an "axis" in Islam. The commentary of the great hadith master Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Daqiq al-'Id is simple but erudite.
