Question:
Allah [gives] you this brother, Asamah, who says: Honorable Shaykh, does Imam al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) have books other than *Riyad al-Salihin*? And I ask that you guide me to a brief overview of this Imam (may Allah have mercy on him).
Answer:
He is a distinguished Imam, an Imam in hadith, an Imam in fiqh, and an Imam in various sciences, may Allah have mercy on him. He authored a great wealth of beneficial works, including *Bulugh*, *Hadith Bayad al-Salihin*, *Al-Arba'in al-Nawawi*, and works on Shafi'i fiqh. The greatest of these is *Al-Majmu' Sharh al-Muhadhdhab*, because he did not complete it, may Allah have mercy on him.

May Allah reward you.
