Imam Ahmad Bin Hanbal Language: Arabic – English | Format: PDF | Volumes: 3 | Size: 34 MB
One of the greatest compilations of the
sunnah and books of hadith is the Musnad by Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal, which
is organized into compilations of the hadiths narrated by each
Companion (Sahabi), starting with the ‘asharah mubashsharah (“the ten
who were promised Paradise”). This highlights their status and the
efforts they made to preserve the ahadeeth of the Messenger of Allah
(S).
The scholars and muhadditheen praised the
Musnad of Imam Ahmad. Al-Hafiz Abu Moosa al-Madeeni wrote a book in
which he highlighted the great features of the Musnad. In his book he
said: “This book is an important source and trustworthy reference for
the scholars of hadeeth, as he (Imam Ahmad) selected from the large
number of hadith he came across and the plentiful reports he heard, and
he put a great deal of effort into making it a prominent, leading and
reliable source. When disputing an issue, it is a refuge and a source of
help.”
