The book "Arbeen" (often referred to as Arba'een) is a collection of 40 Hadith compiled by various scholars, the most famous being Imam An-Nawawi’s "Al-Arba'een An-Nawawiyyah". The word "Arba'een" in Arabic means forty, which directly signifies the number of Hadith included in the compilation.

Imam Nawawi gathered 40 authentic Hadith that cover the fundamental principles of Islam, including matters of faith, worship, morality, social conduct, and personal development. The collection was aimed at providing Muslims with a comprehensive guide to live according to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

This tradition of compiling forty Hadith is based on a narration (though considered weak) where the Prophet (SAW) is reported to have said that whoever preserves forty Hadith for his Ummah will be raised among the scholars on the Day of Judgment. Despite the weakness of the narration, scholars compiled these Hadith to make Islamic teachings easy to understand and memorize for common Muslims.
