Sunan Ibn Maja (Arabic: سُنن ابن ماجه‎) is one of the Sunni Six Major Hadith collections, collected by Ibn Maja.

Description

It contains over 4,000 hadith in 32 books divided into 1,500 chapters. 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 Maja's home town of Qazwin.

Views

Sunni regard this collection as sixth in strength of their Six major Hadith collections ^[1]. Nonetheless this position was not settled until the 14th century or later. Scholars such as al-Nawawi (d. 676/1277) and Ibn Khaldun (d. 808/1405) excluded the Sunan from the generally accepted books; others replaced it with either the Muwatta of Imam Malik or with the Sunan of al-Darimi.
