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 />
