Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 6, Hadith 145
Sahih (Darussalam)
The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. Compiled by Ibn Majah in the 9th century, the Sunan is a respected collection that completes the list of the Kutub al-Sittah, the six major books of hadith in Sunni Islam. It contains an estimated 4,000 narrations that comprehensively cover the spectrum of Islamic life, including issues of doctrine, law, morality, and society. A key point of discussion among scholars is its comparative authenticity. It is often noted that this collection includes a subset of narrations that are classified as weak or da’if, which are largely absent from the more stringent compilations like the two Sahihs. Therefore, while it is an essential resource, its usage often requires additional verification.
