Abstract
This manuscript is a Fulfulde Ajami translation of Imām al-Nawawī’s forty-four ḥadiths. This ḥadith collection is perhaps the most popular one in northern Nigeria. Students in Quranic school students study the text and are expected to read, memorize, and chant it in Arabic and to translate it into other local languages. The author, whose name is not written on the digitized manuscript, provides a line by line translation of the Arabic ḥadiths and offers comments in Fulfulde Ajami.
The text addresses many aspects of Islamic rituals, including faithfulness, goodwill, chastity, devotion, contentment, virtuous habits, oneness of Allāh, human relations, and preparedness for the judgment day.
