Riyad al-Salihin [English Commentary] Volume 1
Riyad al-Salihin needs little introduction to anyone who has spent time seeking knowledge — Imam Yahya ibn Sharaf al-Nawawi's compilation of Qur'anic verses and prophetic hadith remains one of the most widely studied works on righteous conduct, and this is its first volume in English, with commentary.
The arrangement is what makes it so useful for daily life rather than just study. Imam al-Nawawi opens with sincerity and intention before moving through repentance, patience, truthfulness, and the various shades of God-consciousness — taqwa, certainty, reliance upon Allah, steadfastness. Later chapters turn outward: enjoining good and forbidding wrong, giving sincere counsel, safeguarding trusts, and holding fast to the Sunnah while being wary of innovation. The hadith throughout are drawn from the six canonical collections — Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, Nasa'i, and Ibn Majah — so the reader is working from the same material scholars have relied on for centuries.
This Muslims at Work Publications edition is the first of a three-volume set spanning the full 1,896 hadith of the original, with commentary alongside the English translation to help the text open up rather than simply sit on the page. It is the kind of book meant to be returned to often, a chapter at a time.
