Imam nawawi 40 hadith pdf

Yahya Ibn Sharaf Ibn Hasan Ibn Husain An-Nawawi Ad Dimasyqi, Abu Zakaria was born on the month of Muharram in the-year 631 Hijri, in Nawa, a village near the region of Damascus, the current capital of Syria. He was taught by his father who was famous for his piety and righteousness. He started to study sciences at katatib ( a place for kids to learn to read and write) and completed his memorization of the Qur’an before he reached the teen age. When he was ten years old, Sheikh Yasin Ibn Yusuf Az-Zarkasyi saw him being forced to play by his friends, but he refused them because of that forcing. The sheikh said that this child is hoped to be the brightest and the most ascetic man of his time, and the one to give great benefits to Muslims. Hearing that, his father and teachers paid more attention to him. Imam An-Nawawi stayed at Nawa until he was 18 years of age. On year 649 of Hijra, he started his journey to seek for knowledge to Damascus by attending general learnings hosted by the scholars of that city. He stayed at the School of Rawahiyya, near Al-Jami’ Al-Umawi. It was said that there he attended 12 lessons a day. He was very studious and he remembered many things. Thus, he surpassed his other friends. He said, “And I wrote all things that related to it, whether it was explanation of difficult word or line on the words; and Allah has bestowed His blessings on my time.” Among his teachers were: Abul Baqa’ An-Nablusi Abdul Aziz Ibn Muhammad Al-Ausi Abu Ishaq Al-Muradi Abu al Faraj Ibn Qudama Al-Maqdisi Ishaq Ibn Ahmad Al-Maghribi Naqib Ash Shafi’i Abul ‘Abbas Al-Isybili Ibn ‘Abdil Hadi On year 651 Hijri, he went to perform Hajj with his father, and he went to Medina and stayed there around half a month, then he returned to Damascus. On year 665 Hijri, he taught at Darul Hadits Al-Asyrafiyyah at Damascus and refused to be paid. Imam An-Nawawi was an ascetic man, very cautious, and pious. He was very modest, self-contented, and had an authoritative bearing. He spent most of his time in piousness, often sleep deprived due to worshipping or writing. He also enjoined people to do good and prevented them from evil doing, including the authority, according to Islamic guidance. He wrote letters containing advices to the authority with a very delicate language. One day, he was called by King Azh-Zhahir Bebris to sign a fatwa. He came, a skinny man with a very modest clothes. The King humbled him and said, “Sign this fatwa!” He read it and refused to sign it. The King got angry and said, “Why?” He replied, “Because it contains a clear oppression.” The King got even angrier, and said, “Discharged him from all his positions!” The King’s servants said, “He owns no position at all.” The King was eager to kill him but Allah prevent him from doing it. Then the King was asked, “Why didn’t you kill him, whereas he had dared to behave so impudent to you?” The King answered, “By Allah, I feel really low in front of him.” Thus, portraying how even great kings bowed down to Imam An-Nawawi Imam An-Nawawi left plenty of well-known scientific works. The number reached forty books, among them are: Arba’in, Riyadhush Shalihin Al-Minhaj (Sharh of Shahih Muslim), At-Taqrib wat Taysir fi Ma’rifat Sunan Al-Basyirin Nadzir. At-Tibyan fi Adab Hamalatil Qur’an Bustanul Arifin, Al-Adzkar. These books are very popular, known by even the common people, and give great benefits to mankind. It is all due to Allah’s guidance, then to his sincerity and vengeance in struggling to produce them. Imam An-Nawawi died on 24th of Rajab, year 676 of Hijra. May Allah have mercy on him and forgive him and all of us.
