About The Book

Musnad al-Imam Ahmad is the largest of the canonical Sunni hadith collections — some 27,000 to 30,000 reports depending on the recension — compiled by the founder of the Hanbali school and the supreme symbol of third-century-AH Sunni doctrinal steadfastness. Where Bukhari and Muslim organise their collections by topic, Imam Ahmad organises his by Companion: each Companion's section contains the hadiths he transmitted, with the result that the work serves as a single-volume reference for which hadiths trace back to which Companion. The compilation includes hadiths of every grade — sahih, hasan, and weak — with later scholars (notably Imam Ahmad's own son and the hadith critics of subsequent generations) supplying the gradings.

This 14-volume edition presents the complete Musnad in clean print with the standard ordering preserved. The work is an indispensable reference for any serious student of hadith and a major source of hadiths not found in the six canonical collections.

About The Author

Imam Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Hanbal al-Shaybani (164-241 AH / 780-855 CE) was the founder of the Hanbali school of fiqh and the great hadith master of third-century AH Baghdad. He famously endured imprisonment and torture during the mihna (the Mutazili inquisition over the createdness of the Quran) without renouncing the Sunni position — establishing him as the supreme symbol of Sunni doctrinal steadfastness. His Musnad is the largest of the canonical Sunni hadith collections.

عن الكتاب

مسند الإمام أحمد أَكْبَر الكتب الحديثية السنّية الكلاسيكية — نحو ٢٧٠٠٠ إلى ٣٠٠٠٠ خبر حسب الرواية — صنَّفه مؤسّسُ المذهب الحنبلي ورمزُ الثَّبَات العَقَدي السنّي في القرن الثالث الهجري. حيث رَتَّب البخاري ومسلم كتبَيهما على الأبواب، رَتَّب الإمام أحمد مسندَه على الصحابة: لكلِّ صحابيٍّ بابُه الذي يَستوعب أحاديثَه، فيكون الكتابُ مرجعاً واحداً لِمَعرفة مَن مِنَ الصحابة روى ماذا. يَستوعب الكتابُ الأحاديثَ من جميع الدرجات — الصحيح والحسن والضعيف — وقد عَدَّل لاحقُو ذلك (وخاصّةً ابنُ الإمام أحمد ونقّادُ الحديث في الأَجْيال اللاحقة) أحكامها.

About the Contributor(s)

About the author

Ahmad ibn Hanbal: Imam Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Hanbal al-Shaybani rahimahullah (164-241 AH / 780-855 CE) was the founder of the Hanbali school of fiqh and one of the supreme hadith masters of third-century AH Baghdad. Born in Baghdad to a family of Arab tribal lineage (Shayban), he devoted his life to the collection and criticism of prophetic narrations, traveling extensively to hear hadith from the major scholars of his time. He is best known for two legacies: his founding of the Hanbali legal school, one of the four canonical Sunni madhabs, and his unwavering stance during the mihna - the Mutazili inquisition, backed by three successive Abbasid caliphs, that attempted to force scholars to declare the Qur'an created. Imam Ahmad endured imprisonment and severe physical punishment but refused to recant, making him the enduring symbol of Sunni doctrinal steadfastness. His Musnad, containing approximately 27,000 to 30,000 narrations organized by the chain of each companion, is the largest of the canonical Sunni hadith collections and a foundational reference for identifying which companion transmitted which report.
