{"product_id":"prophetic-wisdom-hadiths-for-beginners","title":"Prophetic Wisdom: Hadiths for Beginners","description":"\u003cp\u003eHabib Umar bin Hafiz put this collection together for students who are just starting with hadith, and the Arabic title says so outright: \u003cem\u003eal-Mukhtār min al-Ḥadīth… li'l-mubtadiʾbīn\u003c\/em\u003e, selections for beginners. The fifty-nine hadiths he chose are short enough to memorize in a sitting. Actions are by intentions. Be mindful of Allah wherever you are. The best of you are those most beautiful in character. He drew them from \u003cem\u003eShifāʾ al-Saqīm\u003c\/em\u003e, the hadith compilation of his teacher and father-in-law Habib Muhammad al-Haddār, which reaches back through al-Munāwī's \u003cem\u003eFayḍ al-Qadīr\u003c\/em\u003e to al-Suyūṭī's \u003cem\u003eal-Jāmiʿ al-Ṣaghīr\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this edition apart is the commentary. Every hadith is given in fully vocalized Arabic, then in English with its source named, then unpacked three ways: a short glossary of the terms doing the real work in it, a plain reading of what it means, and a numbered set of lessons to take from it. The explanatory material is translated from \u003cem\u003eTuḥfat al-Nāẓirīn\u003c\/em\u003e, a commentary by Sayyida Umm Ibrahim, daughter of the Tarim scholar Habib ʿAbdullāh bin Maḥfūẓ al-Ḥaddād. Amjad Tarsin, who studied at Dar al-Mustafa under the author, keeps the English plain enough for a thirteen-year-old without thinning it out, and the commentary is pitched so a teacher can take it up or down to suit the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoulFood Publications has bound it as a hardcover with a ribbon marker across 150 pages, which is the right build for a book meant to survive a school year and be opened again after it. It is designed as the step before Imam al-Nawawi's Forty, and it works just as well for an adult coming to hadith late, a weekend-school syllabus, or a parent memorizing alongside a child.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SoulFood Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49262131577140,"sku":"SFD001","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/5031\/5572\/files\/Prophetic-Wisdom-Hadiths-for-Beginners-SoulFood-Publications-1.jpg?v=1787200202","url":"https:\/\/www.meccabooks.com\/products\/prophetic-wisdom-hadiths-for-beginners","provider":"Mecca Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
