This webpage is partly based upon Muhammad Abd al-Rauf (The Islamic Centre, Washington, D.C.), 'Hadith Literature - I: The Development of the Science of Hadith', in the  Cambridge History of Arabic Literature [= CHAL.,] ed. Beeston, A F L. et. al. Cambridge: CUP., 1983), `Arabic Literature to the end of the Umayyad Period',  vol. 1, pp. 271-288.

Largely dating from the 2nd-3rd centuries AH., the bibliographical lists of the texts and translations of the Hadith collections listed below, are only select examples of classical and modern editions. They are by no means all trustworthy. Translations are likewise often inadequate and sometimes fail to include or accurately translate. for example, religiously `controversial' materials. Sadly, there  seems to be but few modern reliable critical editions of many of the even standard hadith collections (see further Juynboll, Encyclopedia, 2007: xixff).

Basic Definitions of Hadith

The Oxford Dictionary of Islam :

"Report of the words and deeds of Muhammad and other early Muslims; considered an authoritative source of revelation, second only to the Qur'an (sometimes referred to as sayings of the Prophet). Hadith (pl. ahadith; hadith is used as a singular or a collective term in English) were collected, transmitted, and taught orally for two centuries after Muhammad's death and then began to be collected in written form and codified...

"Hadith literature is exceedingly abundant ... The collection and arrangement of the Hadith, i.e. words, deeds and tacit approvals attributed to the Prophet, as well as descriptions of his person, developed through a number of stages. These are designated here as the sahifab, musannaf, musnad, sahih and the analytical stages" (Hadifth literature-I: The development of the science of Hadith ^MUHAMMAD ABDUL RAUF, The Islamic Centre, Washington, D.C.) Ch. 10 =  CHAL 2:271).

Criterion of Hadith Reliability.

"As the mass of traditions gradually increased, it became more difficult to distinguish the genuine from the spurious. Isnād criticism, as referred to above, developed into a regular scholarly discipline constituting one of the branches of the `ilm al-hadith,
the science of tradition. Eventualiy the traditionists came to distinguish three types of isnāds:

• I. Sahīh, i.e. "sound", the transmitters of which are all trustworthy; each of them had to have been in actual contact with his infonnant and this throughout the chain. Traditions with "sound"  isnāds had to be generally accepted as historically authentic according to the Muslim traditionists 
• II. Hasan, i.e. "fair". These isnāds are sligbtly less reliable · because, for example, there may be found among the transmitters someone who is known to have been "forgetful" at times.
• III. Da`īf, i.e. "weak". A "weak" isnād, generaliy speaking,.does not fulfil the conditions (shurut) of a sound or a fair isnād." (Juynboll, 1969: 7).

Malik  ibn Anas (d. 179/796).

Imam Mālik ibn Anas (93 AH/711 CE – 179 AH/795 CE). Founder of the second major Maliki  law school

• al- Muwaṭṭa’ -  In 61 sections, "also containing opinions and legal decisions" (CHAL 2:272).
• Ahadith. co.uk = http://ahadith.co.uk/maliksmuwatta.php

"The Muwatta' was revised several times over forty years by its author, who flourished in Medina, having studied earlier with renowned scholars there, and in turn taught those revised works to his disciples. Malik's revised work survived in some different versions through his disciples, notably Yahya b. Yahya al-Laythi of Cordoba (d. 232/848), and of Muhammad ibn al-Ḥasan Shaybānī (d. 189/804), the well known Hanafi authority. Yahya's version is the more popular.

"The Muwatta''s sixty-one chapters, here called " books " (sing, kitab), are arranged according to the categories of the religious law, each dealing with one topic such as purity, prayers, zakat (alms-tax), fasting and so on. Chapters are divided into sub-chapters (sing. bab). A bab may begin with a relevant hadith followed by comments, or with a question addressed to Malik followed by his answer, either alone or supported by a hadith or a Quranic verse, or by an opinion of a Companion or a Follower, or by the custom prevailing among the people of Medina.
"Among the 1,720 hadith existing in Yahya's version, which include 613 statements attributed to Companions and another 285 attributed to Followers, there are 61 without an isnad, some with interrupted isnads and 222 in which the narrating Companion is not mentioned. Some scholars later discovered complete isnads for those hadith" ( CHAL 2:272-3).

Ahmad ibn Hanbal (d. 241/855) (164-241 AH - 780-855 CE). 

The large collection of prophetic ḥadīth  of Aḥmad Ibn Ḥanbal (d. Baghdad, 241 / 855) is entitled al-Musnad  ("The Supported [Traditions]"). It is a highly respected supplementary collection to the six books (see below and Burton,1994). 

Ibn Ḥanbal, Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad.

"The Musnad of Ahmad b. Hanbal... founder of the fourth law school, is the best known of this category. It was transmitted through Ibn Hanbal's own son, 'Abdullah (d. 290/903), and then through 'Abdullah's disciple, Abu Bakr al-Qati`i (d. 368-979), both of whom made a few additions. It relates on the authority of 700 male and almost 100 female Companions whose names are arranged according to their seniority, beginning with the first four caliphs (the " Rashidun"). It contains 30,000 hadiths, excluding 10,000 repetitions, filling six large volumes in small type in its Cairo edition (1312-13H). Although the claim that the Musnad contains a few discredited hadith was rejected by later scholars, it is admitted that some are "weak" (da'if). However, to some jurists, like Ibn Hanbal himself, this type of hadith was useful in making legal decisions. (ABDUL RAUF, CHAL 2:273-4).

THE SIX +  `CANNONICAL'  SAHIH (SOUND) COLLECTIONS

Both Sunnī and Shī`ī  Muslims give tremendous weight to ḥadīth  (pl. aḥādīth), khabar  (pl. akhbār ) literatures. Sunnī Muslims give primacy to "the six books"  (al-kutub al-sittah) of `canonical’ ḥadīth  compilations and secondary importance to numerous other supplementary works. They are first  the two highly respected Ṣaḥīḥ or  ("Reliable [Collections]"), the  Ṣaḥīḥayn  of al‑Bukhārī and Muslim b. Ḥajjāj :

• (1) The Ṣaḥīḥ ("Reliable [Collection]") of al‑Bukhārī, Muḥammad b. Ismā’īl (194-256 AH = 810-870 CE).
• (2) The Ṣaḥīḥ ("Reliable [Collection]") of  Muslim b. Ḥajjāj (204-261 AH = 819-875 CE).
• (3) The Sunan of Abū Dāwūd, Sulaymān ibn al-Ash‘ath al-Azdi al-Sijistānī (b. Sijistān c. 818 – d. Basra, 275/888). 202-275 AH = 817-888 CE.
• (4) The Sunan of al Tirmidhī, Abū ‘Īsá Muhammad ibn ‛Īsá al-Sulamī (209-279 AH = 824-892 CE), d. Termez 279/892).

This volume contains " all the canonical traditions from the Six Books and some major other collections with a unique arrangement of the hadith materrial which is "organized on the basis of the alphabetical order of Muhammad’s companions who allegedly transmitted one or more hadths from him" (so Juynboll, Encyclopedia, 2007: xviii). 
 

[1] al-Bukharī, Abū 'Abd-Allāh Muhammad ibn Ismā'īl (d.256/870).

بخاري ،محمد بن اسماعيل

Al-Bukharī, regarded as founder of the sahih movement and its first author, began memorizing hadith at an early age and started compiling al-Jami` al-saḥīḥ, which took him sixteen years after establishing himself in Hadith criticism, to which he contributed significantly, and thus was able to  extract from his material 6,000 reliable hadith. He divided his work into 97 kitabs, and each kitab into babs (3,450  altogether), leaving unfilled those divisions for which he could not find satisfactory material. Titles of divisions cover the themes of revelation, tmdn, knowledge, law, eschatology, biography, exegesis and doctrine. The work includes hadith without isnad or with broken isnads, quoted not as integral parts of the Ṣaḥīḥ but for clarification or corroboration. To criticize al-Bukharī or his apparent incompleteness is therefore unfair. The number of hadith in the Ṣaḥīḥ, excluding those without complete isnad, amounts to 7,397, of which about 4,000 are repetitions"  (ABDUL RAUF, CHAL 2:274-5)

‏مسلم بن الحجاج القشيري،

[2] Muslim / Muslim ibn al-Ḥajjāj , Abū al-Ḥusayn, al-Qushayrī (d. 261/875).

"Following al-Bukhari's steps, Muslim recorded only authentic material in his work al-Jami`al-saḥīḥ. It  contains 12,000 hadith including 4,000 repetitions, and is dedicated to hadith alone, unburdened with legal notes, and divided into 54 kitabs with titles such as iman, purity, prayer, zakah, hajj (pilgrimage). Divisions within kitabs are without titles, although sub-titles are added in  commentaries. Each hadith appears where it should be, and all versions of a hadith and its available isnads are put together, thus making the book easier to use.
Al-Bukharl and Muslim are referred to as al-Shaykhan, i.e. the two leading authorities on hadith', and the hadith which exist in both works, said to number 2,326, are the most respected. Both al-Bukhari and Muslim phrase  their reports in honest and careful terms. When two or more authorities narrate the same text, they add the words: "all say", or "both say"; but when the given version belongs to one of them they say: "and the text is his". When a teacher's name is obscure, they explain it by such words as: "and he is  he son of so and so".
In terms of comparison, the majority prefer al-Bukhari who insists on an isnad mu`an`an, i.e. a chain of  authorities in which the disciple is known actually to have met his teacher. Muslim is satisfied if they were contemporaries. Some, however, prefer Muslim for his better punctuation and easier order.  (ABDUL RAUF, CHAL 2:275).

"Although Bukhar's attitude was more admired by the Muslims as stricter than Muslim's, both men used and knew that their predecessors had used written sources. The two works have much material in common, although Bukhari recognises 434 persons whom Muslim does not cite, and Muslim cites 625 persons whom Bukhàrï does not mention.495  As each man set out to collect what is sahïh, later scholars as sure one that what they included is sahïb, that is, guaranteed. What is found in the book of either requires no further examination. In this, their two books are unique" (Burton (Burton 1994 [2001] :125).

Leiden ; Boston : Brill ; Biggleswade : Extenza Turpin [distributor], 2011. Revision of the author's thesis (Ph. D.)--University of Chicago, 2006

"The two 'Authentic' hadith collections of al-Bukhari and Muslim are the most famous books in Islam after the Qur'an -- reality left unstudied until now. This book charts the origins, development and functions of these two texts through the lens of canonicity. It examines how the books went from controversial to indispensable as they became the common language for discussing the Prophetʹs legacy among the various Sunni schools of law. The book also studies the role of the ḥadith canon in ritual and narrative. Finally, it investigates the canonical culture built around the texts as well as the trend in Sunni scholarship that rejected it, exploring this tension in contemporary debates between Salafi movements and the traditional schools of law" (Summary from Back cover).

جامع الترمذي‎,

"Al-Tirmidhfs significant compilation, called al-Jami` al-sahih ("The Comprehensive") and also al-Sunan, covers in its 46 kitabs, which are divided into babs, legal, ethical, doctrinal, Quranic and eschatological topics. Chapters on the Qur'an and the manaqib, i.e. the virtues of some Companions, lacking in other sunan, are extensive here.The author enters each of his 4,000 hadtths where it appears it should be, giving the variants, if any, at the same time. The importance of this compilation, confined to hadtth acceptable in legal circles, is that the author follows each hadtth with notes on its use by the jurists, thus making a valuable comparative legal study, and makes analytical remarks on the degree of the authenticity of a. hadtth, introducing the term hadtth, meaning a grade between sahth and da'tf. Thus, for him, a hadtth is sahih, hasan or da6tf\ but the combinations hasan—sahih and hasan-gharib, which he used in describing some hadtth, are difficult to interpret. The author's interest in hadtth criticism is further displayed by his adding a valuable supplement to his work, called Kitab al-`iIlal ....

Aḥmad ibn ʻAlī Al- Nasāʼī  was a Hanbalī Sunnī Muslim compiler of a major collection of over 5,000 ḥadīth.  

"Al-Nasa'i's Kitab al-Sunan contains over 5,000 hadtth listed in 51 chapters, divided into sub-chapters, arranged in the familiar legal order. It treats mainly ceremonial topics and details of prayer formulae. The original work, which contained many da'tf and even more discredited hadtth, has never been published, but was condensed by the author's disciple, Ibn al-Sanl (d. 364/974) under the title al-Mujtabd, with the discredited  categories deleted.

[6B]   al-Dārimī, 'Abdullah ibn  'Abd al-Rahman (b. Samarqand, 181/797 - d.    c. 250/865).   

The Sunan/ Musnad/ al-Jāmiʿ  of al-Dārimī. 
"This author had a work entitled Kitab al-Sunan  or al-Musnad al-jami` which was musannaf, not musnad, though its author so named it. It consists of 1,363 hadtih distributed over 23 kitdas, each divided into babs, arranged in the legal order. The author examines the credibility of narrators and discusses legal points in an original, independent manner, but the book lacks consistency and many of its isnads are of the interrupted categories. Some, however, grade it higher than Ibn Majah's book and include it among the Six Works instead of the latter's work." (CHAL 2: 277). 

"The utility of the Sunan comes in the first sixth of the book, which is a veritable excursus on the ahl al-sunna wa-l-jamāʿa worldview and methodology. Through an assortment of Prophetic ḥadīths and transmitted opinions from Companions and Successor scholars, these chapters cover areas from the condemnation of raʾy  (independent legal reasoning) and hypothetical fiqh (jurisprudence) to the centrality of ḥadīth, the rules of ḥadīth transmission, and the legal thought of the early Muslim community"  (Jonathan A. C. Brown, art. al-Dārimī in EI³ ).

"Abstract "Sunni Islam is at heart a cult of authenticity, with the science of hadlth criticism functioning as a centerpiece designed to distinguish authentic attributions to the Prophet from forgeries. It is thus surprising that even after hadlth scholars had sifted sound hadlths from weak, mainstream Sunni Islam allowed the use of unreliable hadlths as evidence in subjects considered outside of the core areas of law. This majority stance, however, did not displace minority schools of thought that saw the use of unreliable hadlths as both a danger to social morality and contrary to the stated values of Islamic thought. This more stringent position has burgeoned in the early modern and modern periods, when eliminating the use of weak hadiths has become a common call of both Salafi revivalists and Islamic modernists. This article explores and traces the history of the various Sunni schools of thought on the use of weak and forged hadiths from the third/ninth century to the present"

Review by Recep Senturk, Center for Islamic Studies, Istanbul : "Harald Motzki has produced an excellent reference work for students and researchers. It brings together articles by sixteen well-known scholars including himself. J. Fueck, Joseph Schacht, John Burton, Ignaz Goldziher, Gregor Schoeler, Etan Kohlberg, Joseph Horovitz, James Robson, G. H. A. Juynboll, Michael Cook, J. H. Kramers, R. Marston Speight, M. J. Kister, Albrecht Noth and Maher Jarrar. These essays may be seen as an Orientalist metanarrative on hadith...The book aims to present the evolution of the views of Western Orientalists on the origins of hadith ."
