Yahya ibn Sharaf al-Nawawi (631–676 AH / 1233–1277) wrote Riyadh al-Salihin, the Forty Hadith, and al-Majmu'. Salafi lessons explain his hadith books constantly; his fiqh remains Shafi'i.

Ibn Uthaymeen’s Sharh of Riyadh al-Salihin is one of the reasons his name stays in this archive with live lessons.
