Sunan Ibn Majah

Sunan Ibn Mājah  ( Arabic :  سُنن ابن ماجه ) is one of the six major  Sunni   hadith  collections ( Kutub al-Sittah ). The  Sunan  was authored by  Ibn Mājah  (b. 209/824, d. 273/887).  It contains 4341  aḥādīth  in 32 books  (kutub)  divided into 1,500 chapters  (abwāb) . Some 1329 hadith are only found in it, and not in the other five canonical works.  About 20 of the traditions it contains were later declared to be forged; such as those dealing with the merits of individuals, tribes or towns, including Ibn Mājah's home town of  Qazwin .
