Some Notes
-* The number of versions from various sources, made us include all the information we got, while looking deeper into its accuracy.
-We order the Sunan by birth year or estimated birth year.
-The mating of Arabs with other Middle Eastern marriages, Arabs with Asians including Chinese, and finally Arabian marriages with Indonesians, produced the Sunan we know today.
-However, there is a common thread on the origin of the Sunan-sunan, because they are Arabs who come from the Sayyid or Sharif, who are still close relatives or relatives of the Prophet Muhammad.
-A little additional information, that the Sunan-sunan who are not descendants of the Prophet Muhammad. This is given;
1.The Prophet Muhammad did not have a Boy
2.The Arabs embraced Patrilineal (the line of descent originating from the father's side)
3.Uncle or niece in Patrilineal can no longer be called Descendants
