Sunan al-Darimi (Arabic: سنن الدارمي) or Musnad al-Darimi (Arabic: مسند الدارمي) by al-Darimi is a hadith collection considered by Sunni Muslims to be among the prominent nine collections: the Al-Kutub al-Sittah, Muwatta Malik, and Musnad Ahmad.^[1]

Despite its title as a Musnad, it is not arranged by narrator in the manner of other Musnads, such as that of Tayalisi or Ibn Hanbal. It is arranged by subject matter in the manner of a book of Sunan, like the Sunan Ibn Majah.

Description

It contains approximately 3,833 hadith according to Maktaba Shamila,^[2] which are arranged by subject matter. Most of them are considered authentic, with some being weak.^[3][4]

Conveyance

Darimi transmitted these hadiths to `Isa ibn `Umar al-Samarqandi; date of death unknown, but presumably after 293 AH. Thereafter it passed to:

• `Abdullah ibn Ahmad ibn Hamawiya al-Sarkhasi (293–381 AH)
• `Abd al-Rahman ibn Muhammad ibn Muzaffar al-Dawudi "Jamal al-Islam" (374–467 AH)
• Abu'l-Waqt `Abd al-Awwal ibn `Isa ibn Shu`ayb al-Sijizzi (458–553 AH)
