About the author
Ibn Daqiq al-Id: Ibn Daqiq al-Id rahimahullah (d. 1302 CE / 702 AH) was a Shafi'i mujtahid imam of the highest rank, educated in the major centers of Islamic learning in Damascus, Alexandria, and Egypt. He was widely accounted as one of the greatest scholars in Islam in the fundamentals of Islamic law and belief. His scholarly output was extensive, encompassing works in Islamic law (fiqh), the principles of jurisprudence (usul al-fiqh), the science of hadith, and the tenets of faith (aqida). His commentary on the Forty Hadith of Imam al-Nawawi stands as a celebrated and enduring contribution to the hadith commentary tradition, studied across the Muslim world to this day. He is listed in the catalog as author of the Treasury of Hadith (KP113) and his commentary on Imam al-Nawawi's collection (IIS006).
About the translator
Mokrane Guezzou: Mokrane Guezzou is a British-Algerian scholar and translator known for rendering important works of the Islamic tradition into clear, faithful English. Much of his reputation rests on his work for the Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought in Amman and Fons Vitae of Louisville, whose "Great Commentaries on the Holy Qurʾan" series set out to present leading exegetical texts in unabridged, accurate translation. For that series he translated Tafsir Ibn ʿAbbas (Tanwir al-Miqbas) and al-Wahidi's Asbab al-Nuzul, the classic compilation of the occasions of revelation, both standard references for students of Qurʾanic exegesis. Beyond tafsir, his translations reach into hadith, biography, and Sufi adab. These include A Treasury of Hadith, Ibn Daqiq al-ʿId's commentary on al-Nawawi's selection of forty-odd prophetic traditions; The Onlooker's Delight, a biography of Shaykh ʿAbd al-Qadir al-Jilani attributed to Ibn Hajar al-ʿAsqalani; and The Adab of the True Seeker by Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Buzaydi, a guide to the manners of the spiritual path. He holds a doctorate and has long been based in Jordan, where he continues to translate classical works, among them a study of Ibn ʿAtaʾ Allah al-Iskandari. His careful, readable renderings have made several primary sources accessible to English readers for the first time.
