as-Sunan as-Sughra (Arabic: السنن الصغرى), also known as Sunan an-Nasa'i (Arabic: سنن النسائي) is one of the Sunni Six Major Hadith collections, and was collected by Al-Nasa'i. Sunni regard this collection as third in strength of their Six major Hadith collections [1]. Shia, however, do not hold it in the same high esteem and judge the hadith in it individually.[citation needed]
