Ibn Majah

Abu Abdallah Muhammad ibn Yazid al-Qazwini, hadith scholar of Qazvin, author of the Sunan. Most later scholars count it the sixth of the six books. He died in 273 AH. ¹

He travelled in search of hadith to Iraq, the Hijaz, Syria and Egypt. His book is distinguished by hadiths on asceticism and tribulations, and by material he alone transmits, not found in the two Sahihs. ¹
