بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ.

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ لِلَّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعِينُهُ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُهُ، وَنَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شُرُورِ أَنْفُسِنَا وَمِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ أَعْمَالِنَا، مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللَّهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ، وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَأَصْحَابِهِ وَمَنْ تَبِعَهُمْ بِإِحْسَانٍ إِلَى يَوْمِ الدِّينِ، وَسَلَّمَ تَسْلِيمًا كَثِيرًا.

Indeed, all praise is due to Allah; we praise Him, seek His help, and seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evils of our own selves and from the consequences of our bad deeds. Whoever Allah guides, none can lead astray, and whoever He leads astray, none can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, having no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. May Allah send blessings and abundant peace upon him, his family, his companions, and those who follow them in righteousness until the Day of Judgment.

أَمَّا بَعْدُ: فَإِنَّ مِنْ تَوْفِيقِ اللَّهِ - وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَالشُّكْرُ - أَنْ يَسَّرَ لِفَضِيلَةِ شَيْخِنَا - رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى - شَرْحَ الْأَرْبَعِينَ النَّوَوِيَّةِ لِلْحَافِظِ مُحْيِي الدِّينِ أَبِي زَكَرِيَّا يَحْيَى بْنِ شَرَفٍ النَّوَوِيِّ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَامَ ٦٧٦ هـ - رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى، وَذَلِكَ فِي الدَّوْرَةِ الْعِلْمِيَّةِ الَّتِي عَقَدَهَا - رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى - بِالْجَامِعِ الْكَبِيرِ فِي مَدِينَةِ عُنَيْزَةَ فِي صَيْفِ الْعَامِ الْهِجْرِيِّ ١٤٢١ هـ.

To proceed: It is among the successes granted by Allah—to Him belong praise and gratitude—that He facilitated for our virtuous Sheikh—may Allah the Exalted have mercy upon him—the explanation of the Forty Hadith of An-Nawawi by the Hafiz Muhyi ad-Din Abu Zakariya Yahya ibn Sharaf an-Nawawi, who passed away in the year 676 AH—may Allah the Exalted have mercy upon him—during the scholarly seminar he held—may Allah the Exalted have mercy upon him—at the Grand Mosque in the city of Unaizah in the summer of the Hijri year 1421 AH.

وَقَدْ عَهِدَتْ مُؤَسَّسَةُ الشَّيْخِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ الْعُثَيْمِينِ الْخَيْرِيَّةُ إِلَى الشَّيْخِ فُؤَادِ بْنِ بِشْرٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ بِالْعَمَلِ لِإِعْدَادِ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ لِلنَّشْرِ، وَإِلَى الشَّيْخِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ابْنِ نَاصِرِ السُّلَيْمَانِ بِعَزْوِ أَحَادِيثِهِ، فَجَزَاهُمَا اللَّهُ خَيْرًا.

The Sheikh Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaymeen Charitable Foundation entrusted Sheikh Fuad ibn Bishr al-Juhani with the work of preparing this book for publication, and Sheikh Abdulaziz ibn Nasir as-Sulaiman with the task of attributing its hadiths; may Allah reward them both with goodness.

نَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَنْ يَجْعَلَ هَذَا الْعَمَلَ خَالِصًا لِوَجْهِهِ الْكَرِيمِ، نَافِعًا.

We ask Allah the Exalted to make this work purely for His noble sake and beneficial.
