Jami' Asbab al-Khayrat wa-Muthir 'Azm Ahl al-Kasal wa-al-Fatarat جامع أسباب الخيرات ومثير عزم أهل الكسل والفترات

Jami' Asbab al-Khayrat wa-Muthir 'Azm Ahl al-Kasal wa-al-Fatarat (جامع أسباب الخيرات ومثير عزم أهل الكسل والفترات) is a highly regarded classical work on tazkiyah (purification of the soul), suluk (the spiritual path), and raqa'iq (heart-softening exhortations). Authored by the distinguished Shafi'i jurist and spiritual guide Imam Abu Bakr ibn Isma'il al-'Imrani al-Yamani (d. 695 AH), the book serves as both a practical manual and a source of spiritual renewal for believers seeking to overcome lethargy and rekindle their devotion.

A member of the renowned Banu al-'Imran family of Yemen, Imam al-'Imrani combined deep juristic learning with profound spiritual insight. Recognizing that even sincere believers experience periods of weakness, he composed this work to address two common obstacles on the path to Allah: kasal (laziness and reluctance in acts of worship) and fatrah (the natural decline in spiritual enthusiasm that may follow periods of heightened devotion).

Drawing upon the Qur'an, Sunnah, and the wisdom of the righteous predecessors, the work includes more than one thousand hadiths and reports that encourage virtuous deeds and spiritual perseverance. A notable feature of this edition is the addition of references (takhrij) for these hadiths. More than a collection of exhortations, this timeless classic offers a balanced and realistic roadmap for spiritual perseverance, making it as relevant today as it was over seven centuries ago.
