Sunan al-Darimi or Musnad al-Darimi by ‘Abd Allah b. ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Darimi (181H-255H) is a Hadith collection considered by Sunnis to be among the nine: the Six major Hadith collections, Al-Muwatta, Musnad of Imam Ahmed, and Sunan al-Darimi.

Despite its title "Musnad", it is not set per narrator like the Musnads of Tayalisi or Ibn Hanbal. It is arranged by topic, like the Sunan of Ibn Maja.

Darimi transmitted these hadiths to 'Isa ibn 'Umar al-Samarqandi; date of death unknown, but presumably after 293 AH. Thereafter it passed to:

  • ‘Abdullah b. Ahmad b. Hamawiya al-Sarkhasi (293-381 AH)
  • ‘Abd al-Rahman b. Muhammad b. Muzaffar al-Dawudi "Jamal al-Islam" (374-467 AH)
  • Abu'l-Waqt ‘Abd al-Awwal b. ‘Isa b. Shu‘ayb al-Sijizzi (458-553 AH)
