These traditions are found in all well-known Sunni books of traditions, including as-Sihahas-Sittah (the six correct books of traditions): Sahih al-Bukhari , Sahih Muslim , Sunan Abi Dawud , Sahih at-Tirmidhi , Sunan an-Nasa'i , Sunan al-Bayhaqi , Musnad of Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Muwatta' of Imam Malik, Ta'rikh of al-Bukhari, Fathu 'l-Ba'ri (Sharh Sahih al-Bukhari ) of Ibn Hajar al-'Asqalani, Kanzu 'l-'Ummal of Mulla 'Ali al-Muttaqi, Tafsir ad-Durru'l-Manthur and al-Itqan of As-Suyuti, Jami'u 'l-Usul , al-Muhadarat of Imam ar-Raghib al-Isfihani, Jami 'u 'l-Jawami , Hilyatu 'l-awliya ' of Hafiz Abu Nu'aym and al-Mustadrak 'alas-Sahihayn of Imam al-Hakim an-Nishapuri.[^14] Also ' ahadith ' were attributed to the Imams of Ahlul Bayt too, and they found their way into Shi'a books of traditions.

In short the Sunni and Shi'a books of ahadith contain a lot of such traditions. But there is a basic difference between the two sects' respective attitude towards such traditions.
