اربعون حديثا في: تارك الصلاة و مانع الزكاة و الامر بالمعروف و النهي عن المنكر و الوصية بالجار للامام المحدث نجم الدين محمد بن احمد بن علي، السكندري المصري الغيطي (ت 984هـ)، دراسة و تحقيق

Forty Hadiths on: The One Who Forsakes Prayer, Withholds Zakat, Enjoining Good and Forbidding Evil, and Willing One’s Neighbor to the Modern Imam Najm Al-Din Muhammad Bin Ahmed Bin Ali, Alexandrian Al-Masry Al-Ghaiti (d. 984 AH), study and investigation

I am hereby honored to study and investigate this script which includes forty hadiths of the Prophet with different titles as given by the title above. Actually they are important issues that deal with the relation between a slave and his Creator, financial worships that lead into economic welfare and a great principle of preventing the evil deeds and corruption. There is also the social peace principle represented by caring for one's neighbor. I have especially chosen this script when I found another copy buried among a group. Its writer mistakenly considered it narrated by Imam Al Syuti. This made me even more eager to investigate it and prove its real writer as will be shown in the study part. In the study part I started researching the writer's life, history, science and scholars' views about him. I also express the dissertation's belonging to him and give the descriptions of the two copies. I showed the second copy's belonging to its writer, mentioned my methodology in investigation and added photocopies of the two copies. Then I set out the part of investigation. I compared the two copies and proved the difference in the footnote though they are slight. I laid each hadith after mentioning the number given in the original script. I searched all hadiths in their original sources. I have been particularly concerned with mentioning the source that agrees with the script's text in the first place. This is in order to document the text first of all. I mentioned the views of the scholars in each hadith
