If you want to buy just one hadith book (and every Muslim home must have at least one) this should be it. It is hard to think of Maulana Manzoor Naumani, Rahimahullah, without thinking of this seminal work by him. He is a compassionate teacher whose lucid explanations and pertinent comments are indispensable for a serious hadith student.

This latest edition is a pleasure to look at and delight to read. Computer composed Arabic text with diacritical marks makes it easy to read the original Arabic text. This is a complete translation of the entire 8 volume Urdu original. The translation and explanation have been thoroughly revised.
