Ibn Mājah did not write an introduction to his book, so the conditions for the aḥādīth in his collection are not explicit. However, there are indications that he was concerned with collecting as many aḥādīth as possible on Fiqh issues. Sunan Ibn Mājah contains a larger number of aḥādīth than any of the other five books without repetition. It also includes a greater number of weak aḥādīth than the other five. Ibn Mājah was enthusiastic about finding evidences for Fiqh issues. His purpose may have been to collect as many aḥādīth, and find the chain of narrations for the aḥādīth that were the basis of rulings on Fiqh issues of the time, regardless of their authenticity or chain of narrators. Sunan Abu Dawood, collected by Abu Dawood (died 275 AH, 888 CE), includes 5,274 ahadith (including repetitions) [12]He left his hometown to travel the Islamic world visiting Iraq, Makkah, the Levant and Egypt. He studied under Ibn Abi Shaybah (through whom came over a quarter of al-Sunan), Muḥammad ibn ʻAbdillāh ibn Numayr, Jubārah ibn al-Mughallis, Ibrāhīm ibn al-Mundhir al-Ḥizāmī, ʻAbdullāh ibn Muʻāwiyah, Hishām ibn ʻAmmār, Muḥammad ibn Rumḥ, Dāwūd ibn Rashīd and others from their era. Abū Yaʻlā al-Khalīlī praised Ibn Mājah as "reliable ( thiqah), prominent, agreed upon, a religious authority, possessing knowledge and the capability to memorize." [4] Sunan Ibn Majah is a perfect source of information regarding Islamic knowledge and hadees due to the presence of several chapters in a single book. When talking about the significance of a book, it focuses or emphasizes on every aspect of life in a beautiful manner and explains briefly how a Muslim can live according to the teaching of the Prophet Muhammad .

Sunan Abi Dawud is one of the Kitab al Sittah (6 authentic collection of Ahadith) authored by Abu Dawud Sulayman ibn al- Ash'ath as-Sijistani. The sixth book is disputed in Sunni Muslim jurisprudence. They were first formally grouped and defined by Ibn al-Qaisarani in the 11th century, who added Sunan ibn Majah to the list. [1] [2] [3] In particular, the Malikis and Ibn al-Athir consider al-Muwatta' to be the sixth book. [4] Some scholars considered Sunan al-Daraqutni to be the sixth book. [5] Muhammad b.

The reason for the addition of Ibn Majah's Sunan is that it contains many Hadiths which do not figure in the other five, whereas all the Hadiths in the Muwatta' figure in the other Sahih books. [4] Significance [ edit ] The Kutub al-Sitta ( Arabic: الكُتُب ٱلسِّتَّة, romanized: Al-Kutub as-Sitta, lit.'the six books') are six books containing collections of hadith (sayings or acts of the Islamic prophet Muhammad) compiled by six Sunni Muslim scholars in the ninth centuryCE, approximately two centuries after the death of Prophet Muhammad. They are sometimes referred to as al-Sihah al-Sittah, which translates as "The Authentic Six". Since then, they have enjoyed near-universal acceptance as part of the official canon of Sunni Islam.
