The book "At-Targhib wa At-Tarhib" by Al-Mundhiri is one of the greatest books that encourages virtues and discourages vices. Its author did not stipulate authenticity for all its hadiths, and he clarified his methodology in the introduction. Sheikh Al-Albani classified its hadiths into authentic and weak. As for other beneficial books for the student of knowledge, they are: "Riyadh As-Salihin" and "Al-Adhkar" by An-Nawawi, "Az-Zuhd" by Ibn Al-Mubarak, "Bulugh Al-Maram" by Ibn Hajar, or the two Sahihs, " Al-Bukhari" and "Sahih Muslim."
