About the Book:
For the first time ever in English, after years of painstaking efforts at Darussalam, Sunan An-Nasa'i is now available, complete in 6 volumes! Like the other translations of the six books of hadith, Darussalam, has taken great care in correct translation, simple and clear modern English language and high-quality publishing.

Sunan An-Nasai has the fewest weak ahadith after the two Sahih collections. This Sunan is one of the six is al-Mujtaba or as-Sunan as-Sughara, which is a synopsis of a large collection of ahadith which he considered to be fairly reliable. In the smaller collection, only those ahadith which he considered to be reliable have been included.

It was compiled by the great scholar of hadith, Abu Abdur-Rahman Ahmad bin Shu'aib bin Bahr An-Nasai (Nasa' of Khurasan) (214-303AH). Imam An-Nasai, like other great scholars of hadith, travelled to Baghdad, Ash-Sham, Egypt, Mecca, and many other cities to seek knowledge. He received the praises of many scholars including Ad-Daraqutni who said about him: "He is given preference over all others who are mentioned with this knowledge from the people of his time".

Some scholars consider his compilation to have the least number of defective or weak narrations among the four Sunan. This great book of his contains 5761 ahadith, making it an invaluable addition to anyone's library.

This translation by Darussalam Publications has several advantages including: A final verdict about the authenticity of every hadith (in parentheses at end of every hadith) by the committee of scholars at Darussalam Comments in English after many ahadith to explain unclear points and to further explain the hadith Translation from old manuscripts of hadith to get the most authentic version Revision by three different levels of scholars to get as close to the original meaning Arabic and English side by side for easy access as always on all Darussalam books, the paper quality, binding, design and the print are unmatched. Alhamdulillah.
