<b>Alternative Sahih Bukhari referencing systems can also be used.</b> You can cite a hadith using its Dar-us-Salam reference number (as found in the Dar-us-Salam print edition of Bukhari) by adding an additional parameter with the value "darussalam".  

To do so type: <tt>{&#123;Bukhari|||#|darussalam}}</tt> (note that the first parameter for the volume number and second parameter for the book number are left empty for Dar-us-Salam Reference citations)

You can also cite a Bukhari hadith using the In-book reference convention (used on sunnah.com) by adding an additional parameter with the value "in-book".

You can also cite a Sahih Muslim hadith using the In-book reference convention (used on sunnah.com) by adding an additional parameter with the value "in-book".

<b>Alternative Abu Dawud referencing systems can also be used</b>, which cover the entire collection. You can cite a hadith using its Dar-us-Salam reference number (as found in the Dar-us-Salam print edition of Sunan Abu Dawud) by adding an additional parameter with the value "darussalam".

To do so type: <tt>{&#123;Abudawud||#|darussalam}}</tt> (note that the first parameter for the book number is left empty for Dar-us-Salam Reference citations)

To do so type: <tt>{&#123;Abudawud||#|hasan}}</tt> (note that the first parameter for the book number is left empty for Ahmad Hasan reference citations - they are not used because his book numbers varied depending on the edition).

Ahmad Hasan's hadith (narration) numbers were also used by USC-MSA (for the hadiths in their partial collection). USC-MSA used the book numbers from the 1990 edition of Hasan's translation, which had 41 books unlike the other editions in which he put the same hadiths into 36 books.

:<i>An optional fourth parameter allowed a suffix to be added to the narration number (no longer used, but put it in if you know there is one in case it's useful one day). The disused 2nd and 4th parameters are retained for the sake of earlier citations which had them, and their values are visible on the pages although not included in the links (except when they were mistakenly used for the book and hadith number - the template can detect this).</i>

<b>An alternative Muwatta referencing system can be used</b> by adding an additional parameter with the value "in-book". This is called 'Arabic reference' for Muwatta Malik on sunnah.com.

To reference a hadith from [[Template:Al Tirmidhi|Tirmidhi]] type: <tt><nowiki>{{Al Tirmidhi||#|#|#}}</nowiki></tt> (note the empty first parameter)

The first parameter can be left blank, the second parameter is the volume number, the third parameter is the book number, and the forth parameter is the narration number.

This provides the full citation as found in the Dar-us-Salam print edition of Jami` at-Tirmidhi (this is the reference called "English translation" on sunnah.com).

To reference a hadith from [[Template:Al Nasai|Nasai'i]] type: <tt><nowiki>{{Al Nasai||#|#|#}}</nowiki></tt> (note the empty first parameter)

This provides the full citation as found in the Dar-us-Salam print edition of Sunan an-Nasa'i (this is the reference called "English translation" on sunnah.com).

The first parameter is no longer used and can be left empty, but is retained for the sake of existing citations that used 4 parameters. It was used by the old template to link to the relevant book on sunnah.com. In any case it was always the same as the book number in the 3rd parameter, so was redundant anyway.

 

 

 

 

This provides the full citation as found in the Dar-us-Salam print edition of Sunan Ibn Majah (this is the reference called "English translation" on sunnah.com).

 

The first parameter is no longer used and can be left empty, but is retained for the sake of existing citations that used 4 parameters. It was used by the old template to link to the relevant book on sunnah.com. In any case it was always the same as the book number in the 3rd parameter, so was redundant anyway.
