Description :

Musnad Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal is the famous collection of hadith compiled by Al-Imam Ahmad Abdullah bin Hanbal, radi Allahu ta'ala anhu.


Imam Ahmad's Musnad is one of the earliest and largest collections of authentic hadith. It is organised into compilations of the hadiths narrated by each Companion (Sahabi al-Rasul, ﷺ), starting with the ‘asharah mubashsharah (“the men who were promised Paradise”). This highlights their status and the efforts they made to preserve the ahadith of the Beloved Messenger of Allah, ﷺ. The scholars and muhadditheen praised the Musnad of Imam Ahmad.

Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (d. 241H / 855CE), was renowned for his profound knowledge of hadith—the reports of the Prophet’s, ﷺ, sayings and deeds—is a major figure in the history of Islam. Ibn Hanbal, may Allah be pleased with him, was famous for living according to his own strict interpretation of the Prophetic model and for denying himself even the most basic comforts despite belonging to a prominent & wealthy family.


His piety and austerity made him a renowned fighurehead, especially after his principled resistance to the attempts of two Abbasid caliphs to force him to accept rationalist doctrine. His subsequent imprisonment and flogging became one of the most dramatic episodes of classical Islamic history. Ibn Hanbal’s resistance influenced the course of Islamic law, the rise of Sunnism, and the legislative authority of the caliphate, tells the formidable life tale of one of the most influential Muslims in history.
