A talk by Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaquobi on the Compendium of Knowledge and Wisdom, our translation of the Jami’ al-‘ulum wa’l-hikam of Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali, may Allah be merciful to him. This was Ibn Rajab’s collection of fifty hadith, comprising the Forty (actually 42) of Imam an-Nawawi, may Allah be merciful to him, and another eight hadith, with a greatly expanded commentary on them.
