Assessment of the Book *Riyad al-Sami'in wa Bustan al-Wa'izin*

Question:
Our brother also asks and says: Is the book *Riyad al-Sami'in wa Bustan al-Wa'izin* authentic? I have seen in it a great deal of severe warning (tarhib).

Answer:
I do not know the book mentioned; I have no knowledge of the book mentioned. However, *Riyad al-Salihin* suffices in its place, for it is a noble book, a good book, and most of it is authentic. Therefore, benefiting from *Riyad al-Salihin* is preferable, because it is a well-known book among the people of knowledge, and it is a beneficial book. One should substitute *Riyad al-Salihin* for this one.
As for this book, I do not know it. If the questioner would be so kind as to send this book, otherwise we will inquire about it, if Allah wills, and then we will speak about it, if Allah wills, in a coming session, if Allah wills. And we will endeavor, if Allah wills, to find someone to seek it out, so that we may speak about it as the situation requires. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
