Sahih Bukhari Bukhari (full name Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Ismail bin Ibrahim bin al-Mughira al-Ja'fai) was born in 194 A.H. and died in 256 A.H. His collection of hadith is considered second to none. He spent sixteen years compiling it, and ended up with 2,602 hadiths (9,082 with repetition). His criteria foracceptance into the collection were amongst the most stringent of all the scholars of ahadith. It is important to realize, however, that Bukhari's collection is not complete: there are other scholars who worked as Bukhari did and collected other authentic reports. Alhamdulillah, we have over 7000 ahadiths from Bukhari's collection(9 volumes) translated by M. Muhsin Khan. |
