Al-Jami' al- by Al-Albani is a book in which he isolated the authentic hadiths from Al-Jami' al-Saghir by Al-Suyuti. The phrase "narrated by a group (jama'ah)" varies in its intended meaning depending on the terminology of different authors. Most often, it refers to what was narrated by the authors of the Six Books (Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Nasa'i, and Ibn Majah). However, for Majd al-Din Ibn Taymiyyah, "jama'ah" includes the seven (the Six Books in addition to Imam Ahmad). What was narrated by "jama'ah" is, in general, more authentic than what is found in Sahih al-Jami' that they did not narrate.
