Dalil al-falihin li-turuq riyad al-salihin

Dalil al-falihin li-turuq riyad al-salihin is a commentary on al-Nawawi's Riyad al-salihin by Muhammad ibn Allan al-Siddiqi al-Shafi'i al-Ash'ari al-Makki (d. 1057 AH) (his biography). It follows the chapters of the Riyad and sets out the routes of its hadiths and their meanings. ¹

The volume printed by Dar al-Ma'rifa (4th edition, 1425 AH / 2004 CE) follows the Riyad from its opening. Its chapter headings include sincerity (scan page 49), repentance (page 90), jihad (page 157), patience (page 158), truthfulness (page 207), watchfulness (page 218) and piety (page 250). ², ³, ⁴, ⁵

The title page names Khalil Ma'mun Shiha as the editor, who has numbered and referenced the verses and hadiths. ¹

The volume printed by Dar al-Kitab al-Arabi (Beirut) moves through later chapters of the Riyad. Its headings include steadfastness, guarding the tongue, prohibiting harm, plucking grey hairs, the disliked riding of an animal fed on filth (al-jallala), the chapter of remembrance (adhkar), and, at scan page 400, the chapter on forbidden matters: forbidding contempt for a Muslim, showing malicious glee at a Muslim, and mistreating a servant or animal. ⁶, ⁷, ⁸, ⁹, ¹⁰, ¹¹
