كتاب رَوْحٌ وَرَيَاحِينُ شَرْح رِيَاضِ الصَّالحِينَ
Rawh wa Rayaaheen Sharh Riyaad Al-Saaliheen
بسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
In the Name of Allaah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
The Explanation is written by
Abdul Hadi Bin Said Al Bustani - Ziyad Bin Mohammed Mohammed
عبد الهادي بن سعيد البستاني
- زياد بن محمد محمد
الحمد لله المحمود علىٰ ما لَهُ من الأسماء الحسنىٰ، والصفات الكاملة العظيمة العليا، وعلىٰ آثارها الشاملة للأولىٰ والأخرى، ونُصليِّ ونُسلِّم علىٰ سيد المرسلين؛ أجمع الخلق لكل وصف حميد، وخُلق رشيد، وقول سديد، وعلىٰ آله وأصحابه وأتباعه من جميع العبيد.
Praise be to Allaah, who is praised for His beautiful Names and perfect Attributes, and for their effects in the present life and in the Hereafter. We ask for Allaah’s peace and blessings upon the leader of all prophets, who, from among all humans, has the most perfect praiseworthy attributes, the best morals, and the most eloquent sayings, and we ask for Allaah’s peace and blessings upon his family, Companions, and all his followers.
أما بعد:
To proceed:
فليس بعد كلام الله تعالىٰ أصدق ولا أنفع ولا أجمع لخير الدنيا والآخرة من كلام رسوله وخليله محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم ، إذ هو أعلم الخلق، وأصدقهم حديثاً، وأعظمهم نصحاً وإرشاداً، وأبلغهم بياناً، وأحسنهم تعليماً، وقد أوتي جوامع الكلم، واختصر له الكلام اختصاراً.
Aside from the words of Allaah, the Exalted, there are no words more truthful, more beneficial, or more inclusive of the good of this life and the Hereafter more than the words of His Prophet and His chosen one, Muhammad (Allaah’s peace and blessings be upon him). He was the most knowledgeable of all mankind, the most truthful, the greatest giver of advice and guidance, the most eloquent, the best taught, and he was given pithiness of speech.
ومن هنا نعلم اضطرارَ العباد إلىٰ معرفة الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم وما جاء به، وتصديقه فيما أخبر، وطاعته فيما أمر، واجتناب ما نهىٰ عنه وزجر، وألا يُعبد الله تعالىٰ إلا بما شرع؛ فإنه لاسبيل إلىٰ السعادة والفلاح لهذه الأمة المرحومة إلا باتباع نبيِّها صلى الله عليه وسلم ظاهراً وباطناً، إذ لا طريق إلىٰ الله والجنة إلا بهدي الكتاب والسُّنَّة.
Hence we recognize the dire need of people to know the Prophet (Allaah’s peace and blessings be upon him) and what he was sent with, to believe him in what he told, to obey his orders, to avoid what he forbade, and to worship Allaah, the Exalted, according to his teachings. There is truly no road to happiness and success for this blessed Ummah except by following the path of its Prophet (Allaah’s peace and blessings be upon him), inwardly and outwardly, for there is no road to Allaah and to Paradise (Jannah) except through the guidance of the Qur'an and Sunnah.
ولذلك يجب علىٰ من نصح نفسه وأحب نجاتها وسعادتها أن يعرف من هديه وسيرته وشأنه المبارك ما يخرجه عن الجاهلين به، ويُدخله في عداد أتباعه وأهل سنته. والناس في هذا بين محروم ومستقلّ ومستكثر، والفضل بيد الله يؤتيه من يشاء والله ذو الفضل العظيم.
So, whoever seeks the best for himself and wishes to deliver it to safety and happiness should learn of his guidance, biography, and habits what takes him out of the group of those ignorant of the Prophet and admits him into the group of his followers and adherents to his Sunnah. People in this regard are divided into three categories: one that is deprived, one that takes a little, and one that takes a lot; and grace (in taking much of the Prophet's guidance) is in the Hands of Allaah; He gives it to whom He wills, and Allaah is the Most Bountiful.
وإن مما يعين علىٰ معرفة ذلك العناية بالكتب الجامعة، النافعة، المختصرة، في معرفة هدي النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وسُنَنه، ومنها:
One of the ways that makes such knowledge accessible is to consider the comprehensive beneficial summarized books about the guidance of the Prophet (Allaah’s peace and blessings be upon him) and his practices, such as:
كتاب (رياض الصالحين من أحاديث سيد المرسلين) تصنيف العلَّامة الزاهد أبي زكريا يحيىٰ بن شرف النووي (631 ــ 676هـ) ــ رحمه الله تعالىٰ ــ جمع فيه مختصراً من الأحاديث الصحيحة، مشتملاً علىٰ ما يكون زاداً لصاحبه إلىٰ الآخرة، ومحصلاً لآدابه الباطنة والظاهرة، جامعاً للترغيب والترهيب وسائر أنواع آداب السالكين؛ من أحاديث الزهد، ورياضات النفوس، وتهذيب الأخلاق، وطهارات القلوب وعلاجها، وصيانة الجوارح وإزالة اعوجاجها، وغير ذلك من المقاصد.
The book of Riyaad al-Saaliheen min Ahaadeeth Sayyid Al-Mursaleen (Gardens of the Righteous from the Hadeeths of the Leader of the Messengers), compiled by the ascetic erudite scholar: Abu Zakariyya Yahya ibn Sharaf Al-Nawawi (631-676 AH, 1234-1277 AD) – may Allaah have mercy upon him. He compiled therein a concise collection of authentic Hadeeths, which represent a provision for the reader towards his afterlife, and an inventory of inward and outward etiquettes. It also combines encouragement and warning, and all the types of character traits for those who seek reward in the Hereafter and eschew this tempting life; all taken from Hadeeths on asceticism, disciplining of the self, perfecting morals, purification and healing of hearts, guarding the body parts and the senses (against committing the unlawful) and straightening their crookedness, among other objectives.
وقد عظمت وصية العلماء بالكتاب، واعتنوا به شرحاً وتدريساً لعموم المسلمين. وهذا دالٌّ علىٰ إخلاص مؤلفه، وعلىٰ حاجة ا لناس لمثل هذا الكتاب النافع الجامع.
Muslim scholars have vehemently recommended this book, gave great care to explaining it and teaching it to the general body of Muslims. This indicates the sincerity of its author and people’s need to such a concise and beneficial book.
واقتداءً بطريقة علمائنا وجرياً علىٰ صالح فعالهم، كانت هذه المشاركة في تيسير كتاب (رياض الصالحين) لعموم الراغبين، قصدنا من ورائها:
Following the example of our scholars and imitating them in their good deeds, we have participated in this endeavor to make Riyaad Al-Saaliheen accessible to those who seek its benefit. Our objectives are:
1) أن تكون نصيحة للمؤمنين في امتثال هدي سيد المرسلين صلى الله عليه وسلم ، فإنه خير الهدي.
1) To make this an advice to believers in abidance by the guidance of the leader of Prophets (Allaah’s peace and blessings be upon him), for it is surely the best guidance.
2) أن نتأسّىٰ بصحابة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في مسارعتهم إلىٰ تعظيم أمر الله تعالىٰ، وأمر رسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، فالصحابة هم الجيل الأمثل الذي صدق في اتِّباع هدي النَّبِّي المُرسَل صلى الله عليه وسلم .
2) To follow the example of the Companions of Prophet Muhammad (Allaah’s peace and blessings be upon him) in hastening to venerate the command of Allaah, the Exalted, and the command of His Messenger (Allaah’s peace and blessings be upon him), for the Companions are the best of generations in terms of faithfulness in following the example of the the sent Prophet (Allaah’s peace and blessings be upon him).
3) أن يعلم العباد عظمة هذه الشريعة الحنيفيّة السَّمحة التي أغاث الله بها العَالَمَ، فَعَمَّ خيرها البشرية كلَّها، وخصَّ الأُمة المحمدية ببركات ورحمات وتيسيرات تنالها الأمة ببركة اقتدائها بهدي الكتاب والسُّنَّة.
3) To make people aware of the greatness of this lenient Abrahamic religion, with which Allaah relieved the world, and whose goodness extended to all mankind. Allaah Almighty singled out the Ummah of Muhammad with blessings, mercy, and facilitations that they attain by virtue of following the guidance of the Qur'an and Sunnah.
وقد تلَّخص سعينا في خمس نقاط:
Our methodology can be summed up in five points:
1 ــ توضيح الكلمات التي لا يفهمها القارئ من الحديث، مما تركه المؤلف ولم يُبيَّن معناه، وهو ما يسمى: (غريب الحديث).
1. Explanation of the words that the reader does not comprehend in the Hadeeth and which the author left unexplained. This is called Ghareeb al-Hadeeth (unfamiliar words in the Hadeeth).
2 ــ استخراجُ هدايةٍ من الأبواب وأدلة الكتاب، نرجو منها أن تكون رسائل نصح وإرشاد في امتثال هدي سيد العباد عليه الصلاة والسلام. وحرصنا أن تكون وقفات الهداية بما يناسب أدلة كل باب، وقد أفردنا فوائد مهمات، وتنبيهات نافعات، لبعض الأدلة، وجاءت بلفظ «فائدة» أو «تنبيه» لتتميز عن كلام المصنف.
2. Inferring guidance from the chapters and evidences of the book that we hope can be messages of guidance and advice in following the example of the master of worshipers, Prophet Muhammad (Allaah’s peace and blessings be upon him). We were keen on placing the 'Guidance from the Hadeeth' at appropriate places with regard to the evidences of each chapter. We have also added important points and useful notes relevant to some evidences. These were written under the sub-title "Benefit", in order not to confuse them with the wording of the author.
3 ــ عند تكرار الأحاديث في الأبواب أعدنا شرح غريبها واستخراج هدايتها بما يتناسب مع الباب، جرياً علىٰ هدي القرآن الكريم {ٱللَّهُ نَزَّلَ أَحۡسَنَ ٱلۡحَدِيثِ كِتَٰبٗا مُّتَشَٰبِهٗا مَّثَانِيَ} [الزمر: 23] أي تُثنَّىٰ فيه الأخبار والقصص والأحكام وجميع المواضيع النافعة لحِكمٍ عظيمة، منها: تثبيت هذه المعاني في قلوب العباد بتكرارها، لأن الشيء إذا تكرر تقرر، فأعدنا معاني الأحاديث المكررة لتثبت في الأفئدة. علماً أن في كتاب (رياض الصالحين) مئة وثماني وستين (168) حديثاً مكرراً.
3. When Hadeeths are repeated in chapters, we reexplained the unfamiliar words they contain and rewrote the guidance derived from them in accordance with the chapter in which they are mentioned. This is done in imitation of the Qur'an's approach; {Allaah has sent down the best statement: a consistent Book wherein is reiteration} [Al-Zumar: 23] The verse means that statements, stories, rulings, and all useful subjects are repeated in the Qur'an for great reasons that include assertion of these meanings in the hearts of people by repetition; for if something is repeated it becomes established. Hence, we repeated the meanings of the recurrent Hadeeths so that they become established in minds and hearts. It is noteworthy to mention that there are 168 recurrent Hadeeths in Riyaad Al-Saaliheen.
4 ــ نبَّهنا القارئ الكريم علىٰ جملة الأحاديث التي ضعّفها أهل العلم في هذا الكتاب المبارك، وهي قليلة بالنسبة لمجموع أحاديثه، حيث يرىٰ الناظر الإشارة إلىٰ ضعف الحديث، في حاشية الكتاب، وقد اعتمدنا في ذلك على مطبوعة محققة مُجوَّدة للكتاب اعتنى بها الشيخ عصام هادي، وصدرت عن مؤسسة الريَّان، ومن رغب في بيان سبب الضعف فلينظر كتب التخريج المختصة بذلك.
4. We have drawn the reader's attention to a number of Hadeeths that the scholars judged to be weak in this great book. They are few compared to the total number of Hadeeths cited therein. The reader can find the note to the weakness of a Hadeeth in the footnotes of the book. We relied in this regard on a fine version of the book verified by Shaykh ‘Isaam Haadi, published by Al-Rayyaan Institution. Whoever wishes to learn the reason for judging a Hadeeth as weak can consult Takhreej (Hadeeth documentation) books.
ومعلومٌ أخي ــ هدانا الله وإياك ــ أن الواجب علىٰ عموم المسلمين التعبد لله ربِّ العالمين بما صح من أخبار رسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم ؛ ففي الصحيح ما يغني عن الضعيف، وما يذكره بعض الأئمة في كتبهم من الحديث الضعيف ــ اليسير ضعفه ــ ؛ فلأن لهذه الأحاديث أصولاً صحيحة من الكتاب والسنة، فهي صحيحة المعاني وإن كانت ضعيفة الإسناد.
It is well know, dear brother – may Allaah guide us all to the true path – that it is the duty of all Muslims to worship Allaah based on the authentic traditions of our Prophet (Allaah’s peace and blessings be upon him). If authentic Hadeeths are available, there us no need to resort to weak ones. As for what some scholars cite of weak Hadeeths - of minor weakness - it is due to the fact that these Hadeeths have authentic grounds in the Qur'an and Sunnah. Therefore, they are correct in meaning, despite being weak in the chain of narration.
ولذلك جعلنا جملة الأحاديث الضعيفة مع عموم أحاديث الكتاب في شرح غريبها، واستخراج هدايتها، لأن لها ما يقوي معانيها، إلا النادر اليسير مما يكون معناه منكراً فنُعرض عنه، (والنادر لا حكم له).
That is why we have included the weak Hadeeths in the general body of Hadeeths cited in the book and treated them in the same way by explaining their unfamiliar vocabulary and deducing guidance from them, for there are other texts that corroborate their meanings. We excluded a few rare Hadeeths whose meaning is Munkar (denounced), given the principle that what is rare is not to be taken into consideration.
5 ــ ألحقنا الكتاب بثلاثة فهارس معينة للقارئ، وهي:
5. We attached three appendices to help the reader, as follows:
أولاً: فهرس الأحاديث والآثار، وفيه:
First: Appendix of Hadeeths and traditions, which includes:
ذكر أطراف الأحاديث النبوية، والآثار المروية عن الصحابة؛ ليَسْهُل علىٰ الناظر الوصول إلىٰ أي حديث أو أثر في الكتاب.
Parts of the prophetic Hadeeths and traditions narrated by Companions of the Prophet; which facilitates for the reader access to any Hadeeth or tradition in the book.
ثانياً: فهرس الأحاديث المكررة، وفيه:
Second: Index of repeated Hadeeths, which include:
الإشارة إلىٰ موضع تكرار الحديث في الكتاب، والغاية منه أن يقف القارئ علىٰ حسن صنيع المؤلف ــ رحمه الله تعالىٰ ــ في جعل الحديث الواحد لأبواب كثيرة، وبذلك يُعلم معنىٰ جوامع الكلم الذي اختُصّ به نبيُّنا عليه الصلاة والسلام، حيث يتكلم بالكلام القليل لفظُه، الكثير معناه، فيصلح الحديث الواحد لمناسبات عدَّة.
Reference to the Hadeeth's repetitions in the book. The objective is to show the aptitude of the author, may Allaah have mercy upon him, in including a single Hadeeth in different chapters. This shows the real meaning of Jawaami‘ al-Kalim (succinct speech) that was an exclusive characteristic of our Prophet (Allaah’s peace and blessings be upon him), as he would make statements that are brief in wording but broad in meaning, thus making a single Hadeeth relevant to many contexts.
ثالثاً: فهرس موضوعات الكتاب، وفيه:
Third: Index of subjects of the book, which includes:
حصر موضوعات الكتاب مرتبة علىٰ أبواب بلغت (372) باباً، يحوي كل باب جملةً من الأدلة الشرعية، ويندرج في أغلب الأبواب آيات قرآنية، وأحاديث نبوية، بلغ مجموع الأحاديث في تلكم الأبواب (1896) حديثاً علىٰ المشهور من طبعات الكتاب.
Indexing the book's subjects according to chapters; totaling 372 chapter. Each chapter includes a group of textual evidences. Most chapters contain Qur'anic verses and Prophetic Hadeeths. The total number of Hadeeths in these chapters are 1896, according to the most popular versions of the book.
هذا، وقد اعتمدنا في إخراج كتاب (رياض الصالحين) علىٰ المطبوعة التي اعتنىٰ بها الشيخ المحقق شعيب الأرناؤوط، وصدرت عن مؤسسة الرسالة، مع تصحيح أخطاء يسيرة وقعت فيها، بالرجوع إلىٰ الكتب الأصول.
That said, we have relied, in the arrangement of Riyaad Al-Saaliheen, on the version verified and documented by Shaykh Shu‘ayb Al-Arnaa'uut and published by Ar-Risaalah Foundation. Some minor mistakes in this version were corrected by comparing them with the original books.
وقد قدمنا بين يدي الكتاب ترجمة مختصرة للنووي ــ رحمه الله تعالىٰ ــ، ونبذة يسيرة من كلام العلماء في منزلة كتاب (رياض الصالحين)، ووصيتهم به.
We prefaced the book with a summarized biography of Imam Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy upon him) and brief excerpts from the statements of the scholars regarding the merit of Riyaad Al-Saaliheen and their advice to Muslims to read it.
وختاماً: فهذا نصحنا أسميناه: (رَوْحٌ وَرَيَاحِينُ شَرْح رِيَاضِ الصَّالحِينَ).
Finally, we have named this advice of ours 'Rawh wa Rayaaheen Sharh Riyaad al-Saaliheen'.
نهديه لكل مؤمن راغب في امتثال هدي سيد المرسلين صلى الله عليه وسلم ، وسبيل السابقين الأولين، رضي الله عنهم أجمعين. ونسأل الله سبحانه أن ينفع به ويبارك، كما نفع بأصله وبارك. وما كان فيه من صواب فمن الله تعالىٰ وتوفيقه، وما كان من خطأ فهو من تقصيرنا وجهلنا وذنوبنا، التي حالت بيننا وبين كرامات ربِّنا.
We dedicate it to every believer who is interested to follow the example of the leader of all prophets (Allaah’s peace and blessings be upon him) and the example of the first forerunners in Islam (may Allaah be pleased with them all). We ask Allaah, the Exalted, to bless this work and make it useful, just as He blessed and made useful the original book upon which it is based. Whatever correctness the book contains, it is by the grace of Allaah; and whatever incorrect content it contains, it is due to our negligence, ignorance, and misdeeds, which barred us from receiving the favors of our Lord.
فنسأل الله تعالىٰ العظيم، رب العرش الكريم، ألا يحرمنا خير ما عنده، بشرِّ ما عندنا إنه جواد كريم.
We ask Allaah, the Great, the Lord of the Exalted Throne, not to deny us the good He has due to the bad we do, for He is Bounteous and Generous.
والحمد لله الذي هدانا لهذا، وما كنا لنهتدي لولا أن هدانا الله.
Praise be to Allaah who guided us to this; and we would not have been guided if Allaah had not willed so.
وصلىٰ الله علىٰ نبيِّنا محمد، وعلىٰ آله وصحبه وسلم.
May Allaah’s peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and Companions.
