Al-Jami' al-Kabir
As-Saghir is an abridgement of al-Suyuti's larger work al-Jami' al-Kabir. His attempt to compile all of the remaining hadiths in one massive collection, the Jami al-Kabir, was incomplete when he died. What remained was published in 30 large volumes, showcasing around nine to ten alphabetic orderings of the prophetic traditions.
Which in turn was further ordered and arranged in al-Mutaqqi al-Hindi's work Kanz al-Ummal.{{cite web|title=Jami' al-Saghir Fi Ahadith al-Bashir al-Nadir|url=https://www.kitaabun.com/shopping3/jami-saghir-ahadith-bashir-nadir-imam-suyuti-p-5845.html|website=kitaabun|access-date=12 June 2020|quote=Al-Jaami As-Saghir is a collection of prophetic traditions by Imam Suyuti, which contains ten thousand and thirty one (10,031) hadiths.
It was named as "Al-Jami al-Saghir" because it was absorbed from his distinguished writing "al-Jami al-Kabir".}}{{cite web |url= https://seekersguidance.org/answers/hadith/are-hadiths-in-the-book-kanz-al-umman-authentic/|title= Are Hadiths in Kanz al Ummal Authentic?|last=Meah|first=Jameah |date=27 July 2017 |website=SeekersGuidance|access-date= 20 November 2019}}
