Explanation of Riyadus-Saliheen (6 Vol. Set)

Riyad-us-Saliheen is the most widely read hadith collection in the Muslim world. This is the commentary that opens all of it up, hadith by hadith.

What You Get

Each hadith is given in Arabic, followed by the English translation, followed by Shaykh Ibn Al-'Uthaymeen's commentary — not on selected narrations but on every one.

The full Arabic edition runs to six volumes, so the English set is substantial. That is the price of a complete commentary rather than a selective one.

Why This Commentator

Shaykh Ibn Al-'Uthaymeen was known above all for clarity, and for showing his reasoning rather than delivering conclusions. A reader learns how a ruling was derived and where the difficulty lay, which is what allows him to handle a case the book never mentions.

The explanation is easy to follow and carries a great deal of benefit for a reader at any level.

Production

High-quality binding and crisp two-color printing — maroon for headings and Arabic text, black for the English. That separation matters in a book with three layers on every page.

Who Should Own It

Imams and khateebs, who will use it constantly. Teachers and study circles. Serious readers who already own Riyad-us-Saliheen and want to go deeper into it.
