Sahih Al-Bukhari

Sahih al-Bukhariis is one of the six major collections of hadith based on the teachings, sayings, traditions and practices of Muhammad. Regarded as the most authentic and authoritative books in Sunni Islam, it consists 7,275 hadiths compiled by Persian scholar Muhammad al-Bukhari around 846 CE/232 AH. The reports of the Prophet's (ﷺ) sayings and deeds are called ahadeeth. Imam Bukhari lived a couple of centuries after the Prophet's (saw) death and worked extremely hard to collect his ahadeeth. Each report in his collection was checked for compatibility with the Qur'an, and the veracity of the chain of reporters had to be painstakingly established. Bukhari's collection is recognized by the overwhelming majority of the Muslim world to be one of the most authentic collections of the Sunnah of the Prophet(ﷺ). Sunni Muslims view this as one of the two most trusted collections of hadith along with Sahih Muslim.
