Sunan an-Nasāʾī is one of the six major hadith collections in Sunni Islam, compiled by Imam Ahmad ibn Shuʿayb an-Nasāʾī. Known for its high standard of authenticity and precise methodology, it focuses primarily on hadiths related to Islamic law (fiqh), worship, and ethics. The collection is notable for its detailed arrangement and careful classification of narrations, often including commentary on the strength and reliability of the hadiths. It serves as an essential reference for scholars, students, and anyone studying the practice of Islam through prophetic tradition.
