The hadith by al-Nawawī belongs to the category of canonical Arabic collections of Islamic morals, acts of worship, and manners, which are attributed to Muhammad by Muslim scholars but not found in the Quran. The book is widely accepted to the modern Salafi scholars. Besides, Tablighi Jamaat suggests reading the book to their Arabic speaking communities instead of Fazail-e-Amal written by Zakariya Kandhlawi although it has been translated into many languages.
