Shaikh Saaleh Ibn Fawzaan al-Fawzaan حفظه الله

Sharh Riyaadh al-Saaliheen
Sharh al-Arba`een al-NawawiyyahThe purpose was to gather all the benefits regarding this Hadeeth, mentioned in these three different books by these two noble Shaikhs and combine them into one book for the maximum benefit and understanding. This Hadeeth is from the Jawaami` al-Kalim (concise in wording but comprehensive in meaning), In a few words the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم explained the rights of Allaah, His Book, His Messengers, the Imaams and the common Muslims have upon us. When the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “The religion is sincerity”, it means the essence of this Deen is nothing but Naseehah. And this is why it becomes more important for us to understand this Hadeeth as explained by the scholars
