The Riyad as-Salihin of Imam Nawawi is a well known and popular collection of hadiths covering various themes. The purpose of the book; in the words of the author; is:
I felt that I should compile a short collection of authentic hadiths which will be means for the traveller to the hereafter; through which he will acquire internal and external ettiquette; which will combine [hadiths] which create a yearning [for Paradise] and a fear [of Hell]; and all other types of ettiquette for those treading the path. These hadiths will have lessons on abstention (zuhd); [spiritual] exercise for the souls; the development of character; the purifications and treatment for the hearts; the protection of the limbs and removing their waywardness; and other objectives of the 'arifin (those who have truly recognised)
Includes the Arabic text of each hadith.
