Al-Jami' as-Saghir (Arabic: الجامع الصغير, lit. 'The little collection', al-Jami as-Saghir) is a Sunni hadith collection authored by the Islamic scholar Jalaluddin al-Suyuti (1445 – 1505 CE/ 849 - 911 H).[1]
Description
Contents
As-Saghir is a non-primary[2] hadith work which contains 10,031 hadith.[3] Al-Suyuti extracted all of the hadiths related to the prophet's speech contrary to the prophets actions and compiled them in his smaller collection entitling it Jami al-Saghir.[4]
Commentary
The Hadith scholar Al-Munawi published a famous commentary entitled Fayd al-Qadir Sharh al-Jami` al-Saghir in 8 huge volumes and has become an important reference for the late hadith studies.[5]
Al-Jami' al-Kabir
As-Saghir is an abridgement of al-Suyuti's larger work al-Jami' al-Kabir. His attempt to compile all of the remaining hadiths in one massive collection, the Jami al-Kabir, was sadly cut short after his passing. What remained was published in thirty large volumes, showcasing around nine to ten alphabetic orderings of the prophetic traditions.[6]
Which in turn was further ordered and arranged in al-Mutaqqi al-Hindi's work Kanz al-Ummal.[1][3][7]
