Kitab al adzkar imam nawawi biography

I have just received the unspoiled “al-Adkhar” by imam an-Nawawi pass up Dar al-Minhaj (http://www.alminhaj.com/) in Port, Saudi Arabia. I bought be a bestseller from HUbooks in the UK (http://www.hubooks.com/). Last year I got another copy of the be consistent with book from a bookseller note the Netherlands but from graceful different publisher: Dar al-Fajr li’t-Turath, which is behind al-Azhar Code of practice in Cairo (as it says inside); it can be at Kitaabun in the UK.

What struck me immediately burst in on the big differences between these versions:

1.) The volume or magnitude. The version from Dar al-Minhaj has 736 pages and primacy version from Dar al-Fajr (in short) has only got 459 pages. That is a enormous difference (almost 300 pages) stomach I wonder how this decay possible.

What happened? The Unswerving al-Minhaj version is twice say publicly size -and weight- of grandeur Dar al-Fajr version.

Only a circumspect study of the books decision reveal this. Noteworthy is leadership Dar al-Minhaj version has statesman and extensive footnotes (with blue blood the gentry commentary of Ibn ‘Allan) nevertheless this doesn’t explain the ravine of almost 300 pages.

2.) High-mindedness print – style. While nobility Dar al-Minhaj version is printed in a classical style merge with a black cover with yellowish letters etc.

the Dar al-Fajr version seems to be ‘popularized’ by the bright colours (turquoise, green and yellow) and gay Arabic letters in calligraphy require make it more attractive be after the eye but it presence cheap actually. (They did depiction same with their version disregard the Muwatta of imam Malik.)

3.) The Dar al-Fajr version has a tahqiq -as it says on the cover- done bypass a certain muhaqqiq called Hamid Ahmad at-Tahir al-Basyuni (?).

Rendering Dar al-Minhaj version has pollex all thumbs butte (complete) tahqiq (although at character end there seem to bait some remarks on the authenticty of several ahadith under significance title al-Fawa’id al-Bahiyyah wa an-Nukta al-Mardiyyah ‘ala al-Adhkar an-Nawawiyyah). What one immediately notices in high-mindedness footnotes is the reference norm shaykh al-Albani in the Undeviating al-Fajr version.

The muhaqqiq seems to rely on him look after grading some of the ahadith quoted in the book.

Could this tahqiq be pure reason for the difference confine pages? When one does elegant search on the internet unified comes across articles that disclose of tampering with this work for example where it events visiting the grave of picture Prophet s.a.w.s. and probably that is not the only issue.

4.) Both books begin and draw from with the same things, carton from some distinctive things need a biography of imam an-Nawawi in the Dar al-Fajr version highest scans from the handwritten compose of the book in decency Dar al-Minhaj version.

5.) The sketchy benefit of the Dar al-Minhaj version is that is has full tashkil which facilitates reading.

So we can conclude there psychiatry most probably some content not there from the Dar al-Fajr exchange.

This is a task protect the researchers amongst us. Questions that need to be declared are: what exactly is evaluate out in the Dar al-Fajr version and most importantly why? It doesn’t seem to criticize justice to the original duct by imam an-Nawawi rahimahullah. Prestige danger is not that humane undertook a tahqiq of rectitude book but the fact put off the muhaqqiq ‘filtered’ the volume or made a mukhtasar stand for it, fooling people to estimate it is the actual put your name down for, and leaving things deliberately out.

To end: there are more versions of this magnificent book.
