Gardens of the Righteous Soul
The Life, Sacrifice, and Eternal Wisdom of Imam Al-NawawiBy Narin Hikma
Length10h 2m
About this audiobook
He owned a mat, a lamp, an inkwell, and a knife for trimming reeds. He wrote roughly fifty books by hand in a small cell and died at forty-five. Seven centuries later, his sentences are recited daily by millions.
This is the story of Yahya ibn Sharaf al-Nawawi: the scholar who published forty-two hadith under a title saying forty because truth mattered more than a beautiful number, and the jurist who stood before a sultan and refused to yield.
Researched from the historical record, this narrative biography brings to life a man who gave everything to quiet, unwitnessed work.
• Meet the man behind the Forty Hadith as someone you have sat with
• Understand what it costs to refuse something small every day for twenty years
• Find a quiet argument for your own unwitnessed hours
This is a book for anyone who has done careful work that nobody came to check.
