Sunan al-Darimi  ( Arabic :  سنن الدارمي ) or  Musnad al-Darimi  ( Arabic :  مسند الدارمي ) by  `Abd Allah ibn `Abd al-Rahman al-Darimi  (181H–255H) is a  hadith collection  considered by Sunnis to be among the prominent nine collections: the  Al-Kutub al-Sittah ,  Al-Muwatta  and the  Musnad of Imam Ahmad .

Despite its title as a  Musnad , it is not arranged by narrator in the manner of other  Musnads , such as that of Tayalisi or Ibn Hanbal. It is arranged by subject matter in the manner of a book of  Sunan , like the  Sunan Ibn Majah .

It contain almost three thousand five hundred hadith (3500) according to Maktaba Shamila. The arrangement of Hadiths are by subject matter. Most of Hadiths in Sunan are authentic, only few of Hadiths are weak (Dhaif).
