Abstract

The Musnad dictated by Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal (d. Baghdad, 241/855) to his son Ἁbd Allāh (d. Baghdad, 290/903) is the largest of the great ninth-century collections of ḥadῑṯ to survive. It did not gain a place among “the Six Books” that became more or less the Sunnī canon of ḥadῑṯ  from the tenth to the twelfth century C. E. But it was included in most lists that went beyond the Six Books; for example, al-Ḥusaynī’s directory of men in the ten books.[1] What follows is an attempt to determine above all how it was collected and what makes it so much longer than other collections.
