After reading basmalah, tahmid, and salawat then said one who expects Allah's forgiveness from evil, namely Muhammad Nawawi bin Umar Javanese (Banten).

This is the explanation I put on a book that contains the advice of a great, knowledgeable scholar, a hafidz, Shaykh Shihabuddin Ahmad ibn Ali ibn Muhammad bin Ahmad As Syafi`I, who is well known as Ibnu Hajar Asqalany and Al Mishri, may Allah put it in His mercy, Amen.

I give the title of this book, Nasaihul Ibad, containing utterances that can improve (us) to prepare for the Day of Judgment.
