All Praise is for Allah, the Most High. Prayers and peace be upon Muhammad, his
family, his Companions and all those who continue in their way until the Day of
gathering.
Many a man has led his soul into destruction by that which he covets. Desiring the
riches of this world, recognition and authority amongst the people – it was a trial for the
nations of the past and many of us relentlessly chase after it today. We hope that this
valuable book highlights the evil consequences of craving after wealth and status and
how that can corrupt the Deen of the Muslim. We pray that this realisation causes our
brothers and sisters to race one another in hastening towards forgiveness from Allaah,
seeking the best provision in the Hereafter – aameen.
This is the English translation of the book Sharh Hadeeth Maa Dhi`baan Jaa`I’aan..
(Explanation of the Hadeeth: Two Hungry Wolves...”) by the esteemed scholar of
Ahlus-Sunnah wal Jamaa’ah, Imaam al-Haafidh Ibn Rajab al-Hanbalee (d.795h).
Many this fine work provide beneficial and though provoking information for the
reader and may it be a treasure for us On the Day when neither wealth nor sons will benefit
(one) except he who comes before Allaah with a sound heart.

This is the first English translation of the book Sharh Hadeeth Maa Dhi’baan Jaai’aan… written by the great scholar Ibn Rafab alHanbalee d.795H in explanation of the prophet. An excellent book , warning us about the dangers of expending our energies in chasing after the transitory things of this world at the expense of the rewards of the Hereafter.
