Musnad Al-Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal 1-6

Prepared by Saleh Ahmed Al-Shamimesand, Imam Ahmad's valuable book from the books of the Prophetic Sunnah, collected approximately forty thousand hadiths, including repetitions, and arranged them according to the narrations of the companions; it mentions the companion then lists under him what he has of hadiths, not arranged. This method is known among scholars of hadith as classification according to the Musnad method. The book as a whole is one of the important sources of the Sunnah because it contains many authentic hadiths and most of the weak ones that can be compensated for, and rare in it are fabricated ones. As for its author: he is the knowledgeable Imam, the leader of the Sunnah and the standard-bearer of religion in his era, Abu Abdullah Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Hanbal. Imam Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani also authored a book in response to those who criticized the hadiths of the Musnad, called "The Correct Saying in Defending the Musnad of Ahmad." In this edition, the author did the following: removed repetitions of hadiths, removed the chains of narration, which are replaced by mentioning the hadith number in the original for those who wish to refer to it, did not burden the book with footnotes except what was necessary, arranged the hadiths under the chapters, fully vocalized.
