Summary
Imam Ibn Majah was a hadith scholar from Qazwin, born around 207 or 209 AH and died in 273 AH. His Sunan is counted among the Six Books (al-Kutub al-Sittah), is arranged by fiqh chapters, and contains 32 books, 1500 chapters and 4000 hadiths. Scholars dispute its place within the six, and it includes a number of weak and fabricated hadiths. He is concluded to be a scholar whose learning was recognised, and his work is a major reference in hadith.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, Imam Ibn Majah merupakan salah seorang daripada tokoh-tokoh yang hebat dan karya beliau juga termasuk di dalam rujukan utama dalam bidang hadith.
