40 Hadith of Imam Nawawi

Commentary of selections from Imam Nawawi’s 40 Hadith & Science Hadith

The Prophet ﷺ said whosoever preserves 40 Hadith shall be reckoned from amongst the scholars. To diffuse the lights of divine guidance scholars compiled various collections from the vast Hadith literature – the most famous of these compilations is the 40 Hadith of Imam al-Nawawi. This course will attempt to cover some of the lessons and meanings of the Hadith contained in this illuminated collection making use of various commentaries. Students will also be encouraged to memorise the Hadith. Learn how the Hadith of the Prophet ﷺ are incorporated into the classical four schools of law (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi & Hanbali). As a precursor to the course we will give you an introduction to the science of Hadith to deepen your understanding.
