Ṣaḥīfat Hammām ibn Munabbih (Arabic: صحيفة همام بن منبه), lit.'The Book of Hammam ibn Munabbih', is a hadith collection compiled by the Yemeni Islamic scholar Hammam ibn Munabbih (d. 101 AH / 719 CE or 130 AH / 748 CE). It is sometimes quoted as one of the earliest surviving works of its kind.[1][2]

The Sahifat exists in three somewhat variant recensions, one of which is in Ahmad ibn Hanbal's Musnad.[3]

Muhammed Hamidullah, who first discovered and published the Sahifa gives the year as 101 AH/719 CE. Beeston and Dickinson follow Hamidullah in this, while Jonathan Brown gives it as 130 AH/748 CE.
