Telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Utsman bin Isma'il bin 'Imran Ad Dimasyqi] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Walid bin Muslim] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdurrahman bin Yazid bin Jabir] telah menceritakan kepadaku [Abu 'Abd Rabb] dia berkata; saya mendengar [Mu'awiyah bin Abu Sufyan] berkata, "Saya mendengar Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Sesungguhnya amalan seseorang itu bagaikan tempat minum, jika bawahnya jernih maka atasnya pun ikut jernih, namun jika bawahnya keruh maka permukaannya pun ikut keruh."

Imam Ibn Majah compiled the last of the six major hadith collections (Kutub al-Sittah). He travelled widely to collect hadiths — through Iraq, Basra, Syria, Egypt, and Arabia. His collection contains unique narrations not found in the other five collections, though scholars note some weaker chains.
Ibn Majah's collection was later added to the Kutub al-Sittah by Imam al-Maqdisi. It contains approximately 4,341 hadiths including narrations unique to this collection.
