Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal is the collection of Hadith collected by the famous Sunni scholar Ibn Hanbal to whom the Hanbali madhab of Sunnis is attributed.
It is said by some that Ibn Hanbal made a comment in regards to his book which read as follows:
- "There is not a hadith that I have included in this book except that it was used as evidence by some of the scholars."
Certain Hanbali scholars (such as Ibn Jauzi claimed that the Musnad contains hadiths that are fabricated by interpolation (i.e. that narrator jumbling up information, mixing texts and authoritative chains). However it is agreed that the hadhits that are suspected to be fabricated are not new hadiths that are creations of a dubious narrators imagination.[1].
An issue concerning Imam Ahmad's hadith collection, his Musnad, was that during his work on it, he struck out various hadith (as not belonging to his collection). This methodology was not understood by some of the copyists and they reinserted some of these hadith which Ibn Hanbal had made efforts to remove in their transcriptions.
