The Explanation of the Musnad of Imam Ahmad

Question:
He says: Among his questions, he asked: Tell us about the Musnad of Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him).

Answer:
The Musnad of Imam Ahmad is a book of hadith, and it is the largest and most beneficial of the musnads. It is a great book containing thirty thousand hadiths, which he narrated with their chains of narration (may Allah have mercy on him), and he narrates more than that, as some scholars said it contains a million hadiths that were authenticated, and he preserved them in his heart with the precision of a master. So he selected this number from them and placed it in the Musnad, which is a large number with their chains of narration. He does not judge them as authentic, weak, or good; rather, he leaves this to the chain of narration. The scholars look at the chain of narration and the narrators and know what is authentic, what is good, and what is weak; they know this. But there is never a fabricated hadith in the Musnad; rather, it contains weak, good, and authentic hadiths. Yes.
