The Hadith

Sahih Al Bukhari is a collection of sayings and deeds of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), also known as the sunnah. The reports of the Prophet's sayings and deeds are called hadith.Sahih Al Bukhari is one of the Kutub al-Sittah (six major hadith collections) of Sunni Islam, compiled by a Muslim scholar Muhammad al-Bukhari. It was completed around 846 CE/232 AH. Sunni Muslims view this as one of the two most trusted collections of hadith along with Sahih Muslim. The Arabic word sahih translates as "authentic" or "correct". Sahih al-Bukhari, together with Sahih Muslim, is known as the Sahihayn. Sahih Al Bukhari contains around 2,600 hadith without repetitions and 7,563 hadith with repetitions. It is an important book in Islamic literature. It is the first book to only include the hadith without interpretations of the companions (RA) and their successors. Al-Bukhari is considered to be the most authentic source of Hadith.
