Re: …Ahadees…
According to Fua’d Abd al Baqi in his Notes to Sunan Ibn Majah (p.1519f) the total number of hadith in Sunan Ibn Majah amount to 4341 of which 3002 are also recorded in Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, al Tirmidhi, al Nasai… that leaves some 1339 hadith unique to Ibn Majah’s work which al Baqi grades as follows:
428 = sahih
199 = hasan
613 = weak
99 = munkar
See also the work Criticism of Hadith Among Muslims With Reference To Sunan Ibn Maja by Suhaib Hasan Abdul Ghaffar (Ta Ha Publishers / Al Qur’an Society, 1986)
they should be aware of it (or at least try to be) given that one of the primary recensions of Imam Malik’s Muwatta is through one of Imam Abu Hanifah’s leading students, namely Muhammad Ibn al Hasan al Shaybani… you can buy this as a separate work… it differs in some respects from the more generally known version of Malik’s Muwatta in that al Shaybani substitutes for Imam Malik’s opinions his own judgements or that of Imam Abu Hanifah after some of the hadith and even in some cases, if i recall, preferring the opinion of Imam Malik over Imam Abu Hanifah where it was based on stronger evidence…
