How to benefit from this book

Read a few narrations each day and think about how you can follow the Sunnah in your own life. Choose one habit from the Prophet ﷺ, such as smiling at others, eating with the right hand, speaking gently or beginning a task with the name of Allah, and practise it for a week before moving to the next. Send salawat upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ whenever you read his name. If a narration raises a question about its meaning, ask a qualified scholar, since the understanding of the hadith is best learned from teachers.
