All praise belongs to Allāh, Lord of all the worlds. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muḥammad, upon his family, his companions and all those who follow his guidance until the Day of Judgment.
This [pdf]{.smallcaps} file is a translation of Ibn Ḥazm's !m[him] book Kitāb al-Akhlāq wa al-Siyar fī Mudāwat al-Nufūs. Its content is from Archive.org. It was originally part of the book In Pursuit of Virtue by Shaykh Muḥammad Abū Laylā. I've edited the source that was used for this document. Most of the edits are in punctuation. However, some points didn't flow well in English and were edited. Some other points were compared with the original Arabic and edited accordingly. The latter are discussed in the footnotes. I've also replaced the term “God” with “Allāh” throughout the document.
The following works were referenced:
- [[source a]]{.smallcaps} Risālah fī Mudāwāh al-Nufūs wa Tahdhīb al-Akhlāq (Egypt: Nile Printers, [ah]{.smallcaps} 1323),
- [[source b]]{.smallcaps} Kitāb al-Akhlāq wa al-Siyar (Beirut: Dār Ibn Ḥazm, n.d.),
- [[source c]]{.smallcaps} Rasāʾil Ibn Ḥazm (Beirut: Muʾassasah al-ʿArabiyyah li al-Dirāsāt wa al-Nashr, 2nd Ed. 1987), and
- [[source d]]{.smallcaps} In Pursuit of Virtue (UK: Ta-Ha Publishers, 1990).
