Description
editIt 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. One of the goals Ibn Abi Shaybah had was to refute the jurist, Abu Hanifa with a whole chapter in his compilation attacking his views. he listed 125 Hadiths Which Abu Hanifa contradicted [3]
Shaybah narrated reports from predecessors about each subject area, including the controversial topics of discussions between Muslims, like the Battle of Siffin, the Battle of the Camel, the Battle of Nahrawan and the death of the 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).[4]
Multiple manuscripts have been preserved (some printed more recently in Delhi and volumes of much more earlier manuscripts also exist) and some may differ.[5][6][7]
