Since its compilation over a thousand years ago, Sahih Muslim has been recognised by scholars as an authentic collection of Prophetic teachings second only to that of Imam Bukhari (d. 256/870). The hadith collection of Imam Muslim (d. 261/875) has had innumerable commentaries written on it down to modern times. However, there is no doubt that one commentary stands out as the most authoritative, namely that of the great Damascene scholar, Imam al-Nawaw ı (d. 676/1277), which in Arabic is entitled al-Minhaj Sharh. Sahih Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj. This multidisciplinary commentary brings forth rich insights into the Arabic language, Qur'anic studies, Islamic law and jurisprudence, Islamic theology, Islamic spirituality, and Islamic history.

The present translation by Dr Adil Salahi is the first time al-Nawawi's rich and authoritative commentary on Sahih Muslim is being made available in English. This ground-breaking project marks a significant moment for Islam in the English language. Readers can now gain access to the timeless wisdom of the Prophet with the explanations of the ulama summarised by one of the ummah's finest scholars.

This volume includes Book of Mandatory Punishments Chapter 8 onwards, The Book of Judgement, The Book of Found Property, The Book of Jihad and The Book of Government.
