Sunan Abi Dawood, known as Sunan, is one of the six books of hadith and the four Sunans, which hold an advanced position among the Sunnis; as they are considered to be the main sources of hadith for them. It comes in status after the two Sahihs, (2) It was compiled by Imam Abu Dawood Sulayman ibn al-Ash’ath ibn Ishaq ibn Bashir ibn Shaddad ibn Amr al-Azdi al-Sijistani (202 AH – 817 AD / 275 AH – 888 AD), in which Abu Dawood collected a number of hadiths, and its hadiths amounted to 5274 hadiths. He selected them from five hundred thousand hadiths. Abu Dawood was interested in the hadiths of rulings that the jurists used as evidence, and upon which the scholars of the regions built the jurisprudential rulings, as he said in his letter to the people of Mecca: “These hadiths are all hadiths of the Sunnah in rulings, but as for many hadiths on asceticism and virtues, and other than this, I did not include them.” He divided his book into 36 books, and divided each book into chapters, numbering 1871 chapters, and translated each hadith with what the scholars had deduced from it. The book contains hadiths traced back to the Prophet Muhammad, as well as hadiths attributed to the Companions, and the traces attributed to the scholars of the Followers. As for the graduation of hadiths, he would point out the extremely weak hadiths, but he would remain silent about the authentic and good hadiths, as he said: “I mentioned in it the authentic and what is similar to it and close to it, and what was extremely weak in it I explained, and what I did not mention anything about is good, and some of them are more authentic than others.” Hadith scholars differed regarding the hadiths that were not mentioned, as Ibn al-Salah, Yahya ibn Sharaf al-Nawawi, and Ibn Kathir al-Dimashqi believe that they are good if they are not in the two Sahihs, and others believe that they are varied between authentic and good, and some of them are weak and suitable for consideration.
