Sahifah Hammam ibn Munabbih (Arabic: صَحِيفَة هَمَّام ٱبْن مُنَبِّه‎) is sometimes quoted as one of the earliest surviving hadith collections compiled by Islamic scholar and Tabi‘in Hammam ibn Munabbih (d. 101 AH/719 CE).[1]

Description[]

Generally considered in the islamic world to possibly be the oldest surviving book of hadith, it exists in various manuscript collections and printed versions are widely available.[2][3] It was first discovered and published in the 20th century by Muhammad Hamidullah.[4] This publication was a collation of two manuscript copies of Sahifa Hammam bin Munabbih, one found in a library in Damascus and the other in a library in Berlin.[3] The collection contains approximately 140 ahadith[3] all of which have an isnad (chain of narrators) The Prophet → Abū Hurayrah → Hammām → Ma‘mar → ‘Abd al-Razzāq.[5]

Hammam bin Munabbih was a disciple of Abu Hurairah from whom he relates the narrations comprising the sahifah, noting "this is what Abū Ḥurayra told us, on the authority of Muhammad the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him".[6] It was generally known that the Sahifah had been completely included in the Musnad Ahmad.[citation needed]

The original manuscript for the text has been lost, but the text survives through secondary copies of it. [7]

Contested Authorship[]

Although muslim scholars and quite a few western orientalist hadith scholars confirm its attribution to Ibn Munabbih,[8] G.H.A. Juynboll argues that it was concocted by 'Abd ar-Razzaq.[9]
