Description[edit]
Sunnis regard this collection as the third most important of their six major hadith collections.[2] 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.[3]
Views[edit]
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); there is not a single mawdhoo (fabricated) hadith in it.

It is claimed Sunan al-Sughra is "politically biased" towards Ali, the cousin of Muhammad.[5]
