Kitab as-Sunnah by Abdullah ibn Imam Ahmad | كتاب السنة ـ عبد الله بن الإمام أحمد

Kitāb al-Sunnah wa al-Radd ʿalā al-Jahmiyyah | كتاب السنة والرد على الجهمية
By Imām ʿAbdullāh ibn al-Imām Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal (d. 290H)

Among the most treasured works of the early Salaf, Kitāb al-Sunnah by Imām ʿAbdullāh ibn Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal stands as a monumental preservation of the creed of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamāʿah. The son of the great Imām Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal collected and transmitted this work through authentic isnāds, documenting the statements of the Salaf on the fundamentals of ʿaqeedah — affirming the Names and Attributes of Allāh as they were understood by the Companions and those who followed them in righteousness.

Central to the book is a thorough and systematic refutation of the Jahmiyyah — the deviant theological school that denied the Attributes of Allāh and distorted the texts of the Quran and Sunnah through false taʾweel. At a time when the fitna of the Jahmiyyah and the Muʿtazilah had spread widely and caused immense harm to the Muslim community, works like this one served as an authoritative defense of the pure Athari creed passed down from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and his Companions.

This premium two-volume hardcover edition has been carefully verified, authenticated, and annotated by Abū Mālik Aḥmad ibn ʿAlī ibn Rushdī — son of Shaykh Saʿīd ibn ʿĀmir al-Qaḥṭānī — and is published as entry No. 247 in the acclaimed Silsilat Iṣdārāt al-Nāshir al-Mutamayiz, a series renowned for its scholarly precision and superior print quality. The text has been meticulously cross-referenced and corrected, making this one of the finest available printings of this classical work. The entire text is fully vocalized (مضبوط بالشكل الكامل), making it accessible to students at all levels of Arabic.

An indispensable addition to the library of any serious student of Islamic theology, ʿaqeedah, and the sciences of the Salaf.
