Ismailis (Dawoodi bohras, Sulaymani, followers of Aga Khan) do not have many hadeeth books. The most important/significant book (according to their sect) is Daim al-Islam.
From Wikipedia: Daim al-Islam is a Mustaali Ismaili Shi'a Muslim book of hadith, meaning traditions.
This book is written by Sayedna Qazi Nauman. He served as Dai of four Imams (from Ismaili 11th Imam Mehdi to 14th Imam Aziz the first 4 Fatimd Caliphs of Egypt). The book emphasises what importance Islam has given to manners and etiquette along with ibadat, the worship of God, citing references of Fatemid first four Imams.
A website has the book available online (not in the original Arabic language).
We're pleased to bring you the Hindi translation of Da'a'im al-Islam - the celebrated book written by one of the great Isma'li intellectuals Sayedna Qadi al-Nu'man. This book is fundamental to Dawoodi Bohras as far as their religion, their beliefs and their spiritual practices are concerned. It is also the principal source of Isma'ili jurisprudence and hadith literature.
I recently found out that the book has been translated into the English Language. The titles of the books are The Pillars of Islam (in Vol 1 and 2).
