Al-Sunan al-Sughra

Sunan al-Sughra (), also known as Sunan al-Nasa'i (), is one of the Kutub al-Sittah (six major hadith collections), and was collected by al-Nasa'i (214 – 303 AH; c. 829 – 915 CE).

Description

Sunnis regard this collection as the third most important of their six major collections. Al-Mujtaba (English: the selected) has 5,758 hadiths, including repeated narrations, which the author selected from his larger work, As-Sunan al-Kubra. Within Kutub al-Sittah, it is considered the most authentic book of hadith (narrations of Muhammad) after the Sahihayn (Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim) by most scholars of hadith.

Views

According to al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar, the book of Sunan an-Nasa'i contains the fewest da‘eef (weak) hadiths and majrooh narrators among the six books after the Saheehain (Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim), and there is not a single mawdhoo (fabricated) hadith in it.

It is claimed Sunan al-Sughra is "politically biased" towards Ali.

It is useful from an Ê¿ilal, ḥadÄ«th, and lughah perspective. The profiles of narrators, which have lengthened the volume of the book, serve as a useful reference, generally removing the need to consult TahdhÄ«b al-Kamāl, TahdhÄ«b al-TahdhÄ«b, or TaqrÄ«b al-TahdhÄ«b. The author quotes extensively from earlier sources which is useful, but this makes it a long read. This book is available online.
