Provisions for the Seekers: A Manual of Prophetic Hadiths with Commentary
The Messenger of God, Muhammad--the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him, was given exceptional oratorical skills. His words were eloquent, comprehensive, and simple, conveying libraries of wisdoms and truths. The Messenger--the blessings and peace of Alalh be upon him--himself said, “I have been sent with the jawami al-kalim” (Bukhari)—that is, pithy language that expresses a multitude of meanings in few words.
Bookstores and libraries today are full of books of proverbs, coined by historical personages and political and religious leaders. But each of these pales in comparison to the eloquence of the Messenger of God--the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him--and philosophers and sages seem nothing more than struggling students in the light of his divinely inspired wisdom.
This book is a collection of 327 hadiths which the author, Shaykh 'Ashiq Ilahi al-Bulandshehri, compiled from 'Allama Tabrizi’s renowned hadith compilation, Mishkat al-Masabih. The book contains many jawami' al-kalim, as well as prophecies and other accounts and narratives.
The book is ultimately a compilation of hadiths meant to inspire the souls of today’s Muslims and give them a glimpse at the charisma of the Prophet Muhammad--the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him--and a roadmap with which they can achieve closeness to their Lord.

A wonderful book for anyone who is seeking some spiritual upliftment. The narrations that are compiled are short, to the point, and very thought-provoking. It is also a great book for anyone who wishes to memorise the statements of the Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), as it is accompanied by the arabic text.

An excellent collection designed to help beginning Arabic learners with memorable sentences to learn Arabic at the same time as the religion. It's best to read with a teacher if possible, because the ahadith are collected according to sentence structure.
