'Isa al-Tirmidhi, the author of the well-known as Sunan al-Tirmidhi, who was a student of Bukhari and died in 279/892–3. Imam Ibn-e-Majah was also considered to be extra-ordinary due to his ability to memorize everything. By the time of compilation, he knew many hadiths by heart and used to narrate them to his students. Introduction:

Sunnis regard this collection as sixth in terms of authenticity of their Six major Hadith collections. [4] Although Ibn Mājah related hadith from scholars across the eastern Islamic world, neither he nor his Sunan were well known outside of his native region of northwestern Iran until the 5th/11th century. [5] Muḥammad ibn Ṭāhir al-Maqdisī (died 507/1113) remarked that while Ibn Mājah's Sunan was well regarded in Ray, Iran, it was not widely known among the broader community of Muslim jurists outside of Iran. [6] It was also Muḥammad b. Ṭāhir who first proposed a six-book canon of the most authentic Sunni hadith collections in his Shurūṭ al-aʾimma al-sitta, which included Ibn Mājah's Sunan alongside Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawud, Sunan Nasai, and Jami al-Tirmidhi. [1] Nonetheless, consensus among Sunni scholars concerning this six-book canon, which included Ibn Mājah's Sunan, did not occur until the 7th/13th century, and even then this consensus was largely contained to the Sunni scholarly community in the eastern Islamic world. [7] Scholars such as al-Nawawi (died 676/1277) and Ibn Khaldun (died 808/1405) excluded Sunan Ibn Mājah from their lists of canonical Sunni hadith collections, while others replaced it with either the Muwatta Imam Malik or with the Sunan al-Darimi. It was not until Ibn al-Qaisarani's formal standardization of the Sunni hadith cannon into six books in the 11th century that Ibn Majah's collection was regarded the esteem granted to the five other books.

Saheeh al-Bukhari is a collection of Hadees by Muhammad ibn Isma'el al-Bukhari. It is considered as the Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalani (2003). al-Nukat 'Ala Kitab ibn al-Salah. Vol.1 (2nded.). Ajman, U.A.E.: Maktabah al-Furqan. p.153. The sixth book is disputed in Sunni Muslim jurisprudence. They were first formally grouped and defined by Ibn al-Qaisarani in the 11th century, who added Sunan ibn Majah to the list. [1] [2] [3] In particular, the Malikis and Ibn al-Athir consider al-Muwatta' to be the sixth book. [4] Some scholars considered Sunan al-Daraqutni to be the sixth book. [5]
