Sunan Abu' Dawud is one of the six important and authentic collections
(Sihah Sittah) of the Prophetic Traditions. Abu Dawud, following
the practice of his time, travelled far and wide to collect Hadith. He
visited Hijaz, Iraq, Khurasan, Egypt, Syria, Nishapur, Mery and Isfahan
for the purpose. His proficiency in Hadith is accepted. He also
had keen insight in law (fiqh). His Sunan, naturally, is replete
with legal Traditions; it also indicates his point of view on various questions
and his acumen in ijtihad.
The Sunan is Abu Dawud's most important work. It has 4800 Traditions
selected from a mass of 500,000. It can be called one of the fundamental
works on Hadith.
Professor Ahmad Hasan, a versatile scholar of Islamics, has translated
Sunan Abu Dawud into English.
