Description
It is one of the largest compilations of Hadiths, including more than thirty seven thousand (37,000) Hadiths.[2] The goal of these authors was to collect whatever they found, not to extract the best, nor to refine them, nor to make them more accessible for use.
Shaybah narrated reports from predecessors about each subject area, including the controversial topics of discussions between Muslims, like Battle of Siffin, battle of camel,Nehrwaan and death of 3rd Caliph Uthman. It includes Ahaadeeth classified as Saheeh (sound), Marfoo‘ (attributed to Muhammad), Mawqoof (attributed to the Companions), and Munqaṭiʻ (with discontinuity in chain of transmission).[3]
Multiple manuscripts have been preserved (some printed more recently in Delhi and volumes of much more earlier manuscripts also exist) and some may differ.[4][5][6]
