Editing Sunni Islam (section)

===''Kutub al-Sittah''===
''Kutub al-Sittah'' are six books containing collections of hadiths. Sunni Muslims accept the hadith collections of [[Sahih al-Bukhari|Bukhari]] and [[Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj|Muslim]] as the most authentic (''[[sahih]]''), and while accepting all hadiths verified as authentic, grant a slightly lesser status to the collections of other recorders. Four other hadith collections are also held in particular reverence by Sunni Muslims, making a total of six:
* [[Sahih al-Bukhari]] of [[Muhammad al-Bukhari]]
* [[Sahih Muslim]] of [[Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj]]
* [[Sunan al-Sughra]] of [[Al-Nasa'i]]
* [[Sunan Abu Dawud]] of [[Abu Dawood]]
* [[Jami' at-Tirmidhi]] of [[Al-Tirmidhi]]
* [[Sunan Ibn Majah]] of [[Ibn Majah]]

There are also other collections of hadith which also contain many authentic hadith and are frequently used by scholars and specialists. Examples of these collections include:
* [[Musannaf of Abd al-Razzaq]] of [['Abd ar-Razzaq as-San'ani]]
* [[Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal|Musnad]] of [[Ahmad ibn Hanbal]]
* [[Mustadrak al-Hakim|Mustadrak]] of [[Hakim al-Nishaburi|Al Haakim]]
* [[Muwatta Imam Malik|Muwatta]] of [[Imam Malik]]
* [[Sahih Ibn Hibbaan]]
* [[Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah]] of [[Ibn Khuzaymah]]
* [[Sunan al-Darimi]] of [[Al-Darimi]]
