Hakim al-Nishaburi, the author of Al-Mustadrak alaa al-Sahihain, wrote it in the year 393 AH, i.e. when he was 72 years old and claimed all hadith in it where authentic according to the conditions of either Sahih Bukhari or Sahih Muslim^{[citation needed]}.

It contained 9045 hadith ^[1].

Al-Dhahabi in his Talkhis al-Mustadrak made an abridged version (a version with omitted material) of the collection where he commented on its claimed authenticity. In that version, he added his comments on 1182 hadith ^[1].

Al-Dhahabî in his encyclopedic Târikh al-Islam “The History of Islam” says the following in his biographical entry on al-Hâkim, wherein he speaks about his Mustadrak ^[1]:

“

The Mustadrak contains a good number of hadîth that conform to the conditions of authenticity of both (al-Bukhârî and Muslim) as well as a number of hadîth conforming to the conditions of either one of them. Perhaps the total number of such hadîth comprises half the book. There is roughly another quarter of the hadîth that have authentic chains of transmission, but that have something else about them or that have some defect. As for the rest, and that is about a fourth, they are rejected and spurious narrations that are unauthentic. Some of those are fabrications. I came to know of them when I prepared an abridgement of the Mustadrak and pointed them out

”

al-Dhahabî says in Siyar A`lâm al-Nubalâ’ (17/176) ^[1]:

“

It is a useful book. I had made an abridgement of it that is in considerable need of work and editing.

”

On at least three other occasions, he citicised hadith he had not commented on in his Talkhîs ^[1].

For example, when speaking about Mu`âwiyah b. Sâlih in Mîzân al-I`tidal (4/135), he writes: “He is among those narrators whom Muslim accepts but not al-Bukhârî. You can see al-Hâkim relating this narrator’s hadîth in his Mustadrak and say: ‘This is according to the conditions of al-Bukhârî.’ He repeatedly makes this mistake.” However, when the same statement comes up in his Talkhîs, he says nothing about it ^[1].

There have been many prominent scholars who have assumed that al-Dhahabî’s silence in his Talkhîs indicates his tacit approval of al-Hâkim’s ruling, scholars of the caliber of Suyuti in al-Nukat al-Badî`ât (197) (15th century CE), al-Manâwî in Fayd al-Qadîr, and al-Husaynî in al-Bayân wa al-Ta`rîf ^[1].

Many contemporary scholars follow this view as well, but some question that stance based on detailed arguments ^[1].
