Sunan Nasai

Al-Sunan al-Sughra  ( Arabic :  السنن الصغرى ), also known as  Sunan an-Nasa'i  ( Arabic :  سنن النسائي ), is one of the  Kutub al-Sittah  (six major  hadiths ), and was collected by  Al-Nasa'i  (214 – 303 AH; c. 829 – 915 CE).   Sunnis  regard this collection as the third most important of their  six major hadith collections .   Al-Mujtaba  (English: the selected) has about 5,270 hadiths, including repeated narrations, which the author selected from his larger work,  As-Sunan al-Kubra . Within Kutub al-Sittah, it is considered the most authentic book of  hadith  (narrations of  Muhammad ) after the Sahihayn ( Sahih al-Bukhari  &  Sahih Muslim ) by most scholars of hadith.
