More about Sunan An-Nasa'i in English – Complete 6 Volumes

Sunan An-Nasai has the fewest weak ahadith after the two Sahih collections. This Sunan is one of the six is al-Mujtaba or as-Sunan as-Sughara, which is a synopsis of a large collection of ahadith which he considered to be fairly reliable. In the smaller collection, only those ahadith which he considered to be reliable have been included. It was compiled by the great scholar of hadith, Abu Abdur-Rahman Ahmad bin Shu'aib bin Bahr An-Nasae (Nasa' of Khurasan) (214-303AH). Imam An-Nesai, like other great scholars of hadith traveled to Baghdad, Ash-Sham, Egypt, Mecca, and many other cities to seek knowledge. He received the praises of many scholars including Ad-Daraqutni who said about "He is given preference over all others who are mentioned with this knowledge from the people of his time". Some scholars consider his compilation to have the least number of defective or weak narrations among the four Sunan. This great book of his contains 5761 ahadith, making it as an invaluable addition to anyone's library.

About the author

Nasiruddin al-Khattab

Nasiruddin al-Khattab is a Canadian Muslim translator whose body of work — produced primarily through Darussalam Publishers in Riyadh — constitutes the largest single contribution to the contemporary English-language translation of classical Sunni hadith literature. A convert to Islam who studied Arabic and Islamic Studies at the University of Toronto and pursued further training in the Arab world, he has spent several decades rendering the canonical hadith collections, classical biographical works, and major creed and fiqh texts into accessible English.

His translations include the complete English-language editions of Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abi Dawud, Jami' al-Tirmidhi, Sunan al-Nasa'i, and Sunan Ibn Majah — together known as the Six Books of Sunni hadith — published by Darussalam in multi-volume bilingual Arabic-English sets that have become the standard reference editions in English-speaking mosques, schools, and personal libraries worldwide. He has also produced English translations of Riyad al-Salihin, al-Targhib wa al-Tarhib, the Mukhtasar of Tafsir Ibn Kathir, and a long list of works of biography, creed, and contemporary Islamic scholarship.

Al-Khattab's translation style is characterized by careful literalism — preserving the technical hadith vocabulary and the structure of classical chains of transmission — combined with sufficiently natural English prose for general readers and students. His work, more than that of any single translator before him, has made the canonical Sunni hadith corpus directly accessible to English-speaking Muslims, and his Bukhari and Muslim editions in particular are present in nearly every serious English-language Islamic library.
