Al-Nawawi (1233 to 1277) was a jurist and hadith scholar of the Shafi'i school, best known for authoring The Meadows of the Righteous and a commentary on Sahih Muslim. Despite dying at the relatively early age of 45 he produced numerous lengthy works spanning hadith, theology, biography, and jurisprudence that are still read today. Alongside Abu al-Qasim al-Rafi'i he is regarded by the Shafi'i school as one of its two leading jurists of the earlier classical age, known as the Two Shaykhs.
