MUSNAD IMAM AHMAD BIN HANBAL
(SET OF FIRST 3 VOLUMES)
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."
