Information AboutAbu Dawod |
|
'' Sunan Abi Da'ud '', containing some 4800 hadith, is his principal work, but he wrote some 21 books in total. Some of his hadith are not ''sahih'' (authentic), but he claimed that all hadith listed were ''sahih'' unless specifically indicated otherwise; this has been controversial among Islamic scholars, since some (eg Ibn Al-Hajar ) believe some of the unmarked ones to be weak as well. In another work, ''Kitab al-Marasil'', he lists 600 ''mursal'' hadith (that is, hadith lacking a complete chain of narrators, or '' Isnad '') which, after extensive background investigation, he concludes are nonetheless ''sahih''.
