The following is a list of hadith collections compiled by traditionists, which are the purported words, actions, and the silent approvals of the Islamic prophet Muhammad or his immediate circle (companions in Sunni Islam,[1][2]Ahl al-Bayt in Shiite Islam).[3] Among secondary compilations, a notable work is Al-Jāmiʿ al-Kāmil fī al-Ḥadīth al-Ṣaḥīḥ al-Shāmil, compiled by Ziya-ur-Rahman Azmi, which gathers over 16,000 authentic prophetic narrations from more than 200 sources—claiming to include all known sahih (authentic) hadith in a single volume.
Other Primary/Major Collections (Primary Hadith books are those books which are collected and written by author or their students themselves). Most of the following list has been given in Preface (Muqadamah) of the book Al-Jami al-Kamil (published in 2019) by Ziya-ur-Rahman Azmi, but the 1st century AH collections are not readily accessible:
Al-Durra al-Thamaina fi Fazayl al-Madinah lil Ibn al-Najjar (d. 643 AH)
Secondary books of Hadiths (Secondary Hadith books are those books that have been selected, compiled, and collated from the Primary Hadith books and are not original collections.)
Secondary books of Hadiths (Secondary Hadith books are those books which are not collected, compiled and written by author himself but rather they are selected from already existing Hadith books i.e Primary Hadith books)
