This is a unique translation of Juzz' Birr al-Walidain, a medieval tract by one of the greats of Islamic history on the theme of good treatment of parents. In it the author records 76 narrations leading back to Prophet Muhammad and members of the early Islamic community on the significance of treating one's parents in the best manner and other communal duties. This critical edition is presented in both Arabic and English along with explanatory notes from noteworthy scholars of hadith including al-Nawawi (d. 1277) and Ibn Hajr (d. 1448). About the Author: Muhammad b. Isma'il al-Bukhari was born in Bukhara, in modern-day Uzbekistan in 810.

Al-Manar al-Munif fi 'l-Sahih wa ‘l-Da'if, or The Towering Lighthouse on the Sound and Weak [Hadith] by Ibn Qayyim (d. 1350) is one of the best known works on the subject of fabricated hadith and also one of the author’s last, written in 1348, almost three years prior to his death. The original book contains three fatwas by Ibn Qayyim on the subject of hadith scrutiny and this book contains a complete translation of his second fatwa, the lengthiest of the three and covering approximately 100 pages; in it, the author was asked to explain whether it is possible to identify fabricated hadiths without knowing the science of isnad criticism. and goes on to identify numerous signs that indicate a hadith is false.
