Riyad as-Salihin or The Meadows of the Righteous, also referred to as The Gardens of the Righteous (Arabic: رياض الصالحين Riyāḍ aṣ-Ṣāliḥīn), is a compilation of verses from the Quran supplemented by hadith narratives written by Al-Nawawi from Damascus (1233–1277). The hadith by al-Nawawī belongs to the category of canonical Arabic collections of Islamic morals, acts of worship, and manners, which are attributed to Muhammad by Muslim scholars but not found in the Quran.[1] The book is widely accepted to the modern Salafi scholars. Besides, Tablighi Jamaat suggests reading the book to their Arabic speaking communities instead of Fazail-e-Amal written by Zakariya Kandhlawi although it has been translated into many languages.[2][3][relevant?]
Description
The Meadows of the Righteous by Al-Nawawi contains a total of 1,896 hadith divided across 344 chapters, many of which are introduced by verses of the Quran.[4][5] The content of the book were studying the Hadiths in effort to translate the teaching from Quran verses into Sunnah, or practical tradition in the form of Islamic based jurisprudence and ethics.[6] The Sunnah which covered by Nawawi includes the practice of Sahabah, which were viewed by Malik ibn Anas as "living Sunnah" who transmit the rulings directly from Muhammad.[6]
