The Book of Hadith: Sayings of the Prophet Muhammad from the Mishkat Al Masabih

An excellent book that teaches the character of the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him). A great source of knowledge about Islam taught the right way. I am also very impressed with the introduction. The author says and is backed up later in the book the a Hadith of the said from the Prophet (PBUH)"You must gain all the knowledge possible before making a decision""The worst of people are the scholars who use knowledge for the wrong reason. The best of people are the scholars how use their knowledge for good"This is important to me because I do believe non-Muslims do get the wrong impression of Islam because they do not have all the correct information. Also many Muslims are lead down the wrong path because someone knowledgeable has manipulated them. The book encourages everyone take the information and make the best informed decision with the help of their perception and common sense. The quote are also in the original Arabic with the English translation.Just the last thing to point out and this is also said in the book, a Hadith is only 100% accurate when it agrees with the Quran. The Prophet (PBUH) was the best of all humans, but he was just that human. Like in the Hadith of the people growing dates sometimes if asked he gave his opinion, if asked about religion he was quote the Quran. This is an excellent book of knowledge.

A nice choice from the Hadith and well presented. From this collection you learn that Mohammed lived the Koran. I'm not a Muslim nor raised as a Muslim but reading the Koran, The Life of Mohammed and this collection I find there is much to learn and to admire in Islam, the Messenger, his outlook of life and his teachings. It is a pity that much, especially the revolutionary and emancipatory meaning of the Koran and the Hadith, is not to be found back in every day and radical interpretations of Islam.

Gai Eaton has done an excellent job! Thankyou May Allah reward him immensely. I keep this hadith book on my bedside table and read it/ refer to it both night and day. InshaAllah very positive and inspiring when starting the day; reflective and to ponder on at days end!

Excellent a must have

The selection of Hadiths (mostly from Aisha's recording) is spiritually inspiring, and shows the wisdom, humanity and tenderness of The Prophet.

Good resource for person interested in Islam

Being a big fan of Charles Le Gai Eatons. His previous book Islam and the destiny of Man was book that changed my outlook on life.This book of Hadith is well written and easy to follow. I would recommend this to anyone.
