Hammaam ibn Munabbih<br />
"Of <strong>the</strong> earliest collections <strong>of</strong> hadeeth one in particular deserves closer<br />
attention. This is <strong>the</strong> Saheefah <strong>of</strong> Hammaam ibn Munabbih. It is<br />
actually a written collection <strong>of</strong> hadeeth that <strong>the</strong> <strong>Com</strong>panion Abu<br />
Hurayrah dictated to his student Hammaam.<br />
Since Abu Hurayrah died around 58 A.H. (or some 48 years<br />
after <strong>the</strong> death <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Prophet) this collection must have been dictated<br />
to Hammaam sometime from that date...<br />
Imam Ahmad Ibn Hambal incorporated <strong>the</strong> entire work<br />
except two hadeeth into his famous Musnad.<br />
Al-Sulami (a muhaddith), on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r h<strong>and</strong>, continued <strong>the</strong><br />
passing on <strong>of</strong> this collection as an independent work. It was<br />
continually passed on until <strong>the</strong> 9th century which is <strong>the</strong> date <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Berlin manuscript, one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> four manuscripts <strong>of</strong> this work that is still<br />
in existence.<br />
Since Ahadeeth in Ahmad's Musnad are<br />
arranged according to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Com</strong>panions who<br />
narrated <strong>the</strong> Hadeeth. It is very easy to find<br />
all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> hadeeth from Hammam on <strong>the</strong><br />
authority <strong>of</strong> Abu Hurayrah in that<br />
collection.<br />
