Compilation of 'Fazaail A'amaal'
The entire kitaab which is famous by 'Tableeghi Nisaab' or
'Fazaail A'amaal' was not exactly planned out by Sheikhul Hadeeth R A, Each
section is a separate book which was written by Sheikhul Hadeeth R A at
different times on requests from different people. The elders of the Tableegh
Jamaat selecled this book for the deeni-religious- education and reformation of
those going out in the path of Allaah.
Thal is why some
publishers prinled it with the title
'Tableeghi Nisaab'. This title lasted for a long lime.
Later afler ....onsidering the actual subject mauer, it was
printed as 'Fazaail A'amaal'.

1357 (A.H) during a journey to Ajrarah, in Meerat, Hadhrat R A suffered severe
blistering. These blisters burst and for almost two hours blood flowed

for
the past four years to write a book on stories of the Sahabah. Sheikhul Hadeeth

(Some writer has spreaded a false rumour that Fazail e Amaal was written when writer was mentaly sick. They mischievously present the above disease and fact to support their false claim.

There
is no need to describe how AIlaah Ta'ala has accepted these works. Supporters
and critics alike are forced to admit, that no other worldly book by any
author is read as much as the book under
discussion.
The way of the world is such that stones are
thrown at every fruit laden tree, the sun with all its radiance lights up the
entire world yet its scorching temperatures cannot be endured. In this manner,
many factions have raised objections on this book and expressed their
disapproval. I am not denying the fact that besides the book of AlIaah,and
words of Prophet no other book in this
world is free from fault. Many great scholars might have erred in some way or
the other but these errors pale in comparison to the multitude of good that
their works entail and neither did any faction pay much heed to these errors.
