Musnad al-Shafi'i (Arabic: مسند الشافعي), is one of the famous Hadith book attributed to Imam Abū ʿAbdullāh Muhammad ibn Idrīs Al-Shafi‘i (767–820 CE, 150–204 AH).^[1]

Description[]

The book contains almost two thousand (2000) hadiths according to Maktaba Shamila.^[2] It is one of the oldest Musnad ( a kind of Hadith book) written. It is written in second century of Islamic Calendar and written before the most authentic book of Hadiths (narrations of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad) that are Sahihain (Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim). The Musnad (مسند) are collections of Hadiths which are classified by narrators, and therefore by Sahabas (companions of Muhammad). It seems that the collection is not directly the work of the Imam, but rather it was written by later scholars who were students of al-Rabi', the inheritor of al-Shafi'i as ibn Hajar al-'Asqalani explains.^[3][4]

The book has been published by many organizations around the world:
