ESSENTIAL 40 · REFERENCES
Read with confidence.
The same edition acknowledgments and source links appear in the Essential 40 app’s Settings. Individual narrators and source notes remain with each hadith in the reader.
Arabic text
The Arabic text is based on the 2018 tahqīq (verification and checking) of Shaykh Abdul Muhsin Al-Qasim.
English translation
The English translation of the Forty Hadith of al-Nawawi, with The Additions by Ibn Rajab, is based on both Suheyl bin Munir’s translation and the official English translation published on the website of Shaykh Abdul Muhsin Al-Qasim. The translation has been edited and revised with AI assistance to align with Shaykh Abdul Muhsin Al-Qasim’s taḥqīq (verification and checking).
Readers are encouraged to consult both original translations. Suheyl bin Munir’s edition also includes footnotes, Imam al-Nawawi’s opening khuṭbah, and his conclusion.
Recordings and reciters
The web reader includes the same four reciters available in the apps. Shaykh Abdul Muhsin Al-Qasim’s collection lists each reciter and provides additional recordings.
