Nahj al-faṣāha (نهج الفصاحه), written by Abu l-Qasim Payandeh, is a collection of hadith from the Prophet (s) regarding virtues and akhlaq. It was named after the hadith of the Prophet (s) which says, "Ana afsah al-Arab" (I am the most fluent Arab).

This book only includes those hadith of the Prophet (s) which speak about virtues and morals(akhlaq), and avoids hadith regarding other topics such as fiqh.

This book contains 3227 hadith which are in alphabetical according to the first letter of the first word of the hadith.

The book ends with two appendices: the first appendix contains the Prophet's (s) speeches and the second appendix includes his metaphorical sayings. continue...
