Question:
A questioner says: Some people say that the authentic hadiths are few, numbering only about two hundred. What is the truth of this?
Answer:
This is incorrect. The authentic hadiths are numerous, praise be to Allah. The *Sahih* collections include *Sahih al-Bukhari*, *Sahih Muslim*, and *Sahih Ibn Hibban*. The *Sunan* collections include the *Sunan* of the Four: *Sunan al-Tirmidhi*, *Sunan Abu Dawud*, and *Sunan Ibn Majah*—these are the four *Sunan* following the two *Sahih* collections. There are also the *Musnad* collections, such as *Musnad al-Imam Ahmad*, *Musnad al-Tayalisi*, and *Musnad Abu Ya'la*. Yes.
