As-Saghir is a non-primary[2] hadith work which contains 10,031 hadith.[3] Al-Suyuti extracted all of the hadiths related to the prophet's speech contrary to the prophets actions and compiled them in his smaller collection entitling it Jami al-Saghir.[4]
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 sadly cut short after his passing. What remained was published in 30 large volumes, showcasing around nine to ten alphabetic orderings of the prophetic traditions.[6]

Al-Jaami As-Saghir is a collection of prophetic traditions by Imam Suyuti, which contains ten thousand and thirty one (10,031) hadiths.
