Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah (Arabic: مصنف ابن ابي شىيبه‎) is one of the well-known compilations of Hadith (narrations) of Mohammad, his predecessors and companions.[1] These prophetic traditions, or hadith, were collected by Muslim scholar Ibn Abi Shaybah (159H-235H).

Description

It is one of the largest compilations of Hadiths, including more than thirty seven thousand (37,000) Hadiths.[2] The goal of these authors was to collect whatever they found, not to extract the best, nor to refine them, nor to make them more accessible for use.

Shaybah narrated reports from predecessors about each subject area, including the controversial topics of discussions between Muslims, like Battle of Siffin, battle of camel,Nehrwaan and death of 3rd Caliph Uthman. It includes Ahaadeeth classified as Saheeh (sound), Marfoo‘ (attributed to Muhammad), Mawqoof (attributed to the Companions), and Munqaṭiʻ (with discontinuity in chain of transmission).[3]

Multiple manuscripts have been preserved (some printed more recently in Delhi and volumes of much more earlier manuscripts also exist) and some may differ.[4][5][6]

Opinion of Shah Waliullah al-Muhaddith al-Dahlawi

Shah Waliullah claims that this book is not among the top rank books of Hadiths, falling in the second rank, because of its many unauthentic (Dhaif) Hadiths.[7]
