The answer

The Hadith Library in Islamweb comprehensively includes what was facilitated from the Hadith of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. These classifications vary: - Al-Sihah (The Authentic Collections): Such as Bukhari and Muslim, characterized by collecting authentic hadith, omitting weak ones, and arranging them by topic. - Al-Sunan (The Traditions): Such as Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud, which focused on collecting hadith by topic and did not restrict themselves to only well-established hadith. - Al-Masanid (The Musnad Collections): Such as Musnad Imam Ahmad, which gathered the narrations of each Companion separately, without regard for authenticity or thematic arrangement. - Al-Ma'ajim (The Dictionaries): Such as Al-Tabarani's Al-Awsat and Al-Kabeer, which arranged hadith according to the Companions or their teachers, without concern for topics or authenticity. - Al-Musannafat (The Classified Works): Such as the Musannaf of Abd al-Razzaq and Ibn Abi Shaybah, which collected hadith by topic along with the sayings and actions of the Salaf (pious predecessors), without adherence to authenticity. Thus, they combined the authentic Marfu' (attributed to the Prophet) and others with the Mawquf (attributed to a Companion) and the Maqtu' (attributed to a Tabi'i).

For disseminating Hadith to the general Muslim public, it is recommended to restrict oneself to what Bukhari and Muslim narrated, or to select from Hadith that scholars have judged authentic, such as Sheikh Al-Albani's Silsilat al-Sahihah or his project of classifying the four Sunan books.
