Sunan al-Daraqutni, (Arabic:سنن الدارقطني), is a book ofHadith (narrations of the IslamicMuhammad) collected by theMuhaddith (Hadith collector) ImamAl-Daraqutni (306 – 385 AH).[1][2][3]
The total number ofHadiths in this book are 4836 according toAl-Maktaba Al-Shamela. In this bookal-Daraqutni deliberately collected the famous Moudu (fabricated) and Dhaif (weak in Narration) Hadiths. Beside that al-Daraqutni also mentioned someSahih Hadith (Authentic Hadith) as well.[4][5]
Most ofHadiths collected by Imam Daraqutni in his book are Moudu' (Fabricated) and Daeef (weak in Narration). Most of theMuhadditheen (Hadith Collectors) agree that the mention of a hadith in his book doesn’t mean that it is allowed to rely on it. Even Imam ibn-e-Taymiyyah said "Daraqutni used to mention the unreliable hadiths in his Sunan, so that he and the other scholars can make it clear that thoseHadiths are unreliable" (authentically unverifiable).On the contrary, according to a research paper submitted at the International Conference on Humanities, the researchers found the methods used by Imam Daraqutni to be reliable “The research findings show that al-Daraqutni’s methods was neither corrupted nor weak as alleged but had firm footing in the methodologies previously practiced by hadith scholars in ancient times.”[6]
