Traditional Ranking of hadith collections:

1. The most reliable collections: Al Muwatta, Sahih al Bukhari and Sahih Muslim
2. The four sunan collections: Abu Dawud, an Nasai, at Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah

The 'four' are: Sahih al Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, the Sunan of Abu Dawud and the Sunan of an-Nasai

The 'sound six' are Sahih al Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, the Sunan of Abu Dawud, the Sunan of an Nasai, the Jami of at Tirmidhi and the Sunan of Ibn Majah.

(although Muwatta is the oldest and most reliable collection, it is not mentioned as one of the four or the six since its hadiths are found in the two sahih collections)

Musnad

Al-Hakim defines a Musnad ("supported") hadith as follows: "A hadith which a traditionist reports from his shaikh from whom he is known to have heard (ahadith) at a time of life suitable for learning, and similarly in turn for each shaikh, until the isnad reaches a well- known Companion, who in turn reports from the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)."8

By this definition, an ordinary Muttasil hadith (i.e. one with an uninterrupted isnad) is excluded if it goes back only to a Companion or Successor, as is a Marfu` hadith which has an interrupted isnad.

Al-Hakim gives the following example of a Musnad hadith: We reported from Abu `Amr `Uthman b. Ahmad al-Sammak al-Baghdadi === Al-Hasan b. Mukarram === `Uthman b. `Amr === Yunus --- al-Zuhri --- `Abdullah b. Ka`b b. Malik --- his father, who asked Ibn Abi Hadrad for payment of a debt he owed to him, in the mosque. During the ensuing argument, their voices were raised until heard by the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), who eventually lifted the curtain of his apartment and said, "O Ka`b! Write off a part of your debt" - he meant remission of half of it. So he agreed, and the man paid him.

He then remarks,

"Now, my hearing from Ibn al-Simak is well- known, as is his from Ibn Mukarram; al- Hasan's link with `Uthman b. `Amr and the latter's with Yunus b. Zaid are known as well; Yunus is always remembered with al-Zuhri, and the latter with the sons of Ka`b b. Malik, whose link to their father and his companionship of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) are well-established."9

The term Musnad is also applied to those collections of ahadith which give the ahadith of each Companion separately. Among the early compilers of such a Musnad were Yahya b. `Abd al-Hamid al-Himmani (d. 228) at Kufah and Musaddad b. Musarhad (d. 228) at Basrah. The largest existing collection of ahadith of Companions arranged in this manner is that of Imam Ahmad b. Hanbal (d. 241), which contains around thirty thousand ahadith. Another larger work is attributed to the famous Andalusian traditionist Baqi b. Makhlad al-Qurtubi (d. 276), but unfortunately it is now untraceable
