Riyad as-Salihin or The Meadows of the Righteous, also referred to as The Gardens of the Righteous (Arabic: رياض الصالحين Riyāḍ aṣ-Ṣāliḥīn), is a compilation of verses from the Quran supplemented by hadith narratives written by Al-Nawawi from Damascus (1233–1277). The hadith by al-Nawawī belongs to the category of canonical Arabic collections of Islamic morals, acts of worship, and manners, which are attributed to Muhammad by Muslim scholars but not found in the Quran.[1] The book is widely accepted to the modern Salafi scholars. Besides, Tablighi Jamaat suggests reading the book to their Arabic speaking communities instead of Fazail-e-Amal written by Zakariya Kandhlawi.[2][3]
