Shaykh Muḥammad Fuʿād ʿAbd al-Bāqī further noted, in remarks appended to the end of the Sunan, that the reports found in it in addition to the other five books amount to 1,339 ḥadiths.
Sunan Ibn Mājah contains five traditions whose chains consist of only three transmitters (thalāthiyyāt). All five follow the route of Jubārah ibn al-Mughlis, from Kathīr ibn Sulaym, from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him). Three of them are recorded in the Book of Foods (3356), (3357), (3310); one appears in the Book of Asceticism (4292); and one in the Book of Medicine (3479). Ibn Mājah alone, among the compilers of the Six Books, reported ḥadiths from both Jubārah and Kathīr. Al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Ḥajar states in Taqrīb al-Tahdhīb that both men are weak authorities. Accordingly, these five traditions are counted among the narrations unique to Sunan Ibn Mājah over and above the other five collections.
