Question
Who compiled the nine basic books of Hadeeth and when was that?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.

(d. 256 After Hijrah).

3. Sunan Abu Daawood, collected by Imaam Abu Daawood (d. 275 After Hijrah).

5. Sunan An-Nasaa’i, collected by Imaam An-Nasaa’i (d. 303 After Hijrah).
