''Sunan al-Darimi'' ( ar, سنن الدارمي) or Musnad al-Darimi ( ar, مسند الدارمي) by
`Abd Allah ibn `Abd al-Rahman al-Darimi (181H–255H) is a
hadith collection considered by Sunnis to be among the prominent nine collections: the
Al-Kutub al-Sittah,
Al-Muwatta and the
Musnad of Imam Ahmad.
Despite its title as a
''Musnad'', it is not arranged by narrator in the manner of other ''Musnads'', such as that of Tayalisi or Ibn Hanbal. It is arranged by subject matter in the manner of a book of ''Sunan'', like the
Sunan Ibn Majah.
Description
It contain almost three thousand five hundred hadith (3500) according to Maktaba Shamila. The arrangement of Hadiths are by subject matter. Most of Hadiths in Sunan are authentic, only few of Hadiths are weak (Dhaif).

Darimi transmitted these hadiths to `Isa ibn `Umar al-Samarqandi; date of death unknown, but presumably after 293 AH. Thereafter it passed to:
* `Abdullah ibn Ahmad ibn Hamawiya al-Sarkhasi (293–381 AH)
