This is Free Online Audio Mp3 Application of Imam An- Nawawi 40 Hadith in English By Sheikh Shady Al-Suleiman.

Nawawi's Forty (sc. “Forty Hadith”, in Arabic: al-arbaʿīn al-nawawiyyah) is a compilation of forty hadiths by Imam al-Nawawi,[1] most of which are from Sahih Muslim and Sahih al-Bukhari. This collection of hadith has been particularly valued over the centuries because it is a distillation, by one of the most eminent and revered authorities in Islamic jurisprudence, of the foundations of Islamic sacred law or Sharīʿah. In putting together this collection, it was the author's explicit aim that “each hadith is a great fundament (qāʿida ʿaẓīma) of the religion, described by the religious scholars as being ‘the axis of Islam’ or ‘the half of Islam’ or ‘the third of it’ or the like, and to make it a rule that these forty hadith be classified as sound (ṣaḥīḥ).” This work is the most representative of the arbaʿīniyyāt genre of hadith.

Imam An Nawawi (631–676 H)

He is Yahya Ibn Sharaf Ibn Hasan Ibn Husain An Nawawi Ad Dimasyqi, Abu Zakaria. He was born on the month of Muharram, 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 evaded them, refused, and cried 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.

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. There, seeking for knowledge became his main activity. It was said that 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.” (See: “Syadzaratudz Dzahab”, 5:355)

Imam al-Nawawi died at the age of 44 years, leaving behind an immense heritage. Among his numerous works are:

- Al-Arba'un Nawawiyyah (Forty Hadith)
- Riyad al-Salihin
- Sharh Sahih Muslim
- Kitab al-Adhkar
- al-Maqasid (Manual of Islam)
- Minhaj al-Talibin (a main reference for Shafi'i fiqh)
