Summary
Al-Musannaf is a work compiling the Prophet's hadith together with the sayings and actions of the Companions and the Tabi'in, arranged by chapters of jurisprudence and containing marfu', mawquf and maqtu' narrations. Al-Sunan is also arranged by jurisprudential chapters but accepts only marfu' hadith, with very few mawquf reports. Al-Mustadrak is a book that gathers hadith from other books which their authors did not mention, even though the hadith meet the authors' own conditions. Well-known examples are Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq, Sunan Abu Daud and al-Hakim's Mustadrak.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Al-Mushannaf ialah karya yang menghimpunkan hadith-hadith Nabi SAW dan apa yang disebut dan dibuat oleh para sahabat dan Tabi'in.
