Some scholars considered Sunan At-Tirmidhi to be the best out of all of the Six Books of Hadith, not based upon a criteria of authenticity, but rather because of how well organized it is, making it easy for the average person to find what he is looking for, and all of the additional areas of knowledge that the author has included, which are not found in the other titles among the Six.

For example, after citing the narrations of a chapter, the Author Imam Tirmidhi often explains the views of the famous Aimmah of Fiqh, like Ahmad, Ash-Shäfi'i, Mãlik, and others. In this manner he makes clear the interpretations of these great scholars, and why they did or did not act upon this hadith, or its like, making this collection an important Fiqh reference.

This is the First Volume of the English translation from the unabridged version consisting of 3956 ahadith. Each volume contains many chapters which represent one logical unit of Ahadith. Volume 5 consists of the translation of Hadith 2606-3290.

The author Abu Eisa bin Sawrah bin Musa bin Ad Dahhak, As Sulami,Ad Darir, Al Bughi At Tirmidhi famously know as 'Imam At Tirmidhi' was born between 200AH and 209 AH. Scholars differ with respect to the dates. While he was young, he began learning in his own city and later traveled to learn from the scholars of various lands.

At-Tirmidhi studied from many of the most eminent people of knowledge of his time, some of those whom Al-Bukhari heard from, as well as the other famous Hadith compilers. He met and heard narrations from Imam Muslim, and Abu Dawud, and he stayed with Imam Al-Bukhari learning a wealth of knowledge and narrations from him. Thus, Al-'Allamah 'Abdul 'Aziz Ad-Dihiawi said, "Surely, At-Tirmidhi was Bukhari's suceessor".

Imam Tirmidhi died in Termez on the 13th night of Rajab in 279 AH, May Allah mercy on him.
