Matn al-Arbaʿīn an-Nawawiyyah Workbook

The Matn al-Arbaʿīn an-Nawawiyyah (Arabic: متن الأربعين النووية), widely known as “The Forty Hadith of Imam Nawawi,” is a timeless collection of prophetic narrations that form the foundation of Islamic ethics, spirituality, and behaviour.

Compiled by the great Shāfiʿī jurist and hadith master Imam Yahya ibn Sharaf an-Nawawi (d. 1277), this collection gathers 42 authentic narrations that scholars have described as the core principles of Islam-covering belief, worship, manners, dealings, and purification of the heart.

For centuries, this work has been studied, memorized, and taught across the Muslim world. Its concise wording, comprehensive meanings, and practical guidance have made it essential for both beginners and advanced students of Islamic knowledge.
