Sahih al-Bukhari and the Sahih Muslim are considered the best authentic ahadith. The other four Sunan Sahih al-Tirmidhi, Sunan Ibn Majah, Sunan Abu Dawud, and Sunan Nasa’i are also highly esteemed.
This book occupies an outstanding place among six principal Hadith collections (Sihah Sittah) known in the Muslim world. Imam Nasa’i was very careful while selecting materials for his work. This is why many scholars consider that the book Sunan Nasa’i occupies third place in Hadith collections after Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. It contains 5764 tradition, carefully collected out of 500,000

Ahmad ibn Shu'ayb al-Nasa'i (215-303 AH) was one of the great Muslim hadith scholars in the third century AH and the author of the book "Al-Sunan al-Kubra", one of the "Sahah Setha" in the eyes of the Sunnis. He also wrote the valuable book "Khaasis Amir al-Mu'minin Ali ibn Abi Talib" in which he described the virtues of Imam Ali (a.s.).
Birth
"Abu Abd al-Rahman, Ahmad ibn Ali ibn Shu'ayb al-Nasa'i", a famous hadith scholar and author of one of the Sunni Sahaah Setha, was born in the year 214 or 215 AH, in the city of Nisa.
Not much information is available about his childhood. Historical sources have mentioned his travels to cities such as Khorasan, Hijaz, Iraq, Jazira, Syria and Egypt in order to gain knowledge and listen to hadith.
Zarkali writes: "He traveled to many cities and finally settled in Egypt. After the sheikhs of Egypt envied him, he went to Ramla, one of the cities of Palestine."
Teachers
Among his teachers from whom he has narrated narrations are Qutaybah bin Saeed, Ishaq bin Ibrahim bin Habib, Ibrahim bin Yaqoob, Isa bin Hammad, Ishaq bin Rahuwayh, Sulayman bin Ash'ath, Ishaq bin Shaheen, Ibrahim bin Saeed, Abu Dawood Sijistani, and...
Many students have also gained knowledge from him and have narrated narrations, including Abu al-Qasim al-Tabarani, Ahmad bin Umair, Abu al-Maymun bin Rashid, Abu Saeed al-Arabi, and Abu Ja'far al-Tahawi.
Works
"Sunan al-Kubra" by Nasa'i, after the Sahihs (Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim), is considered the third most important and respected book of hadith by Sunnis.
It is narrated from Al-Hakim Al-Nishaburi: “I heard Abu’l-Hasan Darqutni say several times: Abu Abd al-Rahman Al-Nasa’i was superior to everyone else in his knowledge of hadith and in refuting and correcting narrators in his time.”
Al-Sunan Al-Nasa’i’s book is actually a summary of the voluminous book “Al-Sunan Al-Kubra” that he himself had written. He first composed a voluminous book on hadith under the title “Al-Sunan Al-Kubra”, then he presented the book to Amir Hillah. Amir Hillah asked him: Are all the hadiths in your book authentic? He said: No. So Al-Hakim ordered him to bring only the authentic hadiths in another book, so Al-Nasa’i chose hadiths from “Al-Sunan Al-Kubra” and named it “Al-Mujtabi”, and this “Al-Mujtabi” is one of the six books of the Sunnis known as “Al-Sunan” or “Al-Sunan Al-Kubra”.
Among other works of Nasa'i, we can mention the book "Khaasis" which is written about the virtues of Hazrat Ali and his Ahlul Bayt.
"Manasik Hajj", "Al-Dha'fa'a wa al-Matrukin", "Musnad Ali", "Musnad Malik", "Fada'il al-Sahaba" and "Amal al-Yum wa al-Layla" are among his other works.
Death
There is not much difference between sources regarding the year of Nasa'i's death, and generally the year of his death is written as 303 AH. Some people write the month of his death as Sha'ban and some as Safar of the same year.
