Críticas:

This slender volume of a number of the prophetic traditions . . . offers deeds and sayings of the Prophet Mohammed selected, translated, and introduced by Abdul Ali Hamid of the Muslim College in London. . . . They give a portrait of the Prophet Mohammed and a vision of the best thoughts of a culture sophisticated in human relations, respect, and courtesy. This portrait and vision are deserving of study by those who seek peace and by those who are currently trying to bring a measure of security, development, and tranquility to Central Asia.--Arthur J. Spring, Ph.D., College of St. Benedict, St. John's University, Minnesota "Bridges, Vol. 10 (3/4), Fall/Winter 2003 "

Reseña del editor:

In Islamic life and tradition, Hadith sayings enshrine the most important teachings after the Qur'an itself. Derived from the Sunnah or teachings of the Prophet and his Companions and their followers, these precepts were collected under the title Al-Adab al-mufrad-meaning Good behaviour singled out-by Imam al-Bukhari in the ninth century CE. The Hadith sayings in al-Bukhari's writings formed a large corpus that covered the way Muslims should conduct their lives, from duties to parents, family, relatives, neighbors and friends, to instruction about honesty, generosity, truthfulness and kindness. While al-Bukhari's original text runs to many hundreds of pages forming several volumes, Abdul Hamid has made a selection of the teachings that has relevance and appeal to today's readership, with appeal not only to Muslims but to all who seek to know more of the essence of Islamic life and teachings.
