Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal is the collection of Hadith collected by the famous Sunni scholar Ibn Hanbal.

It is said that Ibn Hanbal said about his book "There is not a hadith that I have included in this book except that it was used as evidence by some of the scholars." Anyone who has read the Musnad and has study the general areas of Islamic sciences can verify this claim ^{[[Citing sources citation needed]]}.

Some claimed that the Musnad contains fabricated hadith. These hadith are generally thought to be fabricated by interpolation (i.e. that narrator jumbling up information, mixing texts and authoritative chains) rather than being mere creations of a dubious narrators imagination.

Another issue at hand is the fact that Imam Ahmad added hadith to his Musnad which he later striked out. This methodology was not understood by some and those re-included in the work when transribed.
