Hammaam ibn Munabbih<br />

"Of the earliest collections of hadeeth one in particular deserves closer<br />

attention. This is the Saheefah of Hammaam ibn Munabbih. It is<br />

actually a written collection of hadeeth that the Companion Abu<br />

Hurayrah dictated to his student Hammaam.<br />

Since Abu Hurayrah died around 58 A.H. (or some 48 years<br />

after the death of the Prophet) this collection must have been dictated<br />

to Hammaam sometime from that date...<br />

Imam Ahmad Ibn Hambal incorporated the entire work<br />

except two hadeeth into his famous Musnad.<br />

Al-Sulami (a muhaddith), on the other hand, continued the<br />

passing on of this collection as an independent work. It was<br />

continually passed on until the 9th century which is the date of the<br />

Berlin manuscript, one of the four manuscripts of this work that is still<br />

in existence.<br />

Since Ahadeeth in Ahmad's Musnad are<br />

arranged according to the Companions who<br />

narrated the Hadeeth. It is very easy to find<br />

all of the hadeeth from Hammam on the<br />

authority of Abu Hurayrah in that<br />

collection.<br />
