Before you is a chapter from the great book Al-Adhkaar of the Imaam and great scholar of the seventh century, Abu Zaakariyaa, Yahyaa Ibn Sharaf An-Nawawee, which we decided to present as a book in itself due to the many benefits found in it. The chapter is entitled "Hifdh-ul-Lisaan" or "Guarding the Tongue."

In recent times, this great work was checked and verified by Shaikh Saleem Ibn 'Eid AlHilaalee and printed in two volumes. In his verification, Shaikh Saleem provides a grading for each hadeeth as well as a discussion into the reason for the hadeeth's authenticity or weakness.
