Sahih Bukhari is a collection of saying and deeds of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also
Know as the sunnah. The report of the Prophet's (S.A.W) saying and deeds are called ahadeeth.
Imam Bukhari lived a couple of centuries after the Prophet's S.A.W death and worked extremely
hard to collect his ahadeeth.Each report in his collection was checked for compatibility with the
Quran, and the veracity of the chain of reporters had to be painstakingly established. Bukhari's
collection is recognized by the overwhelming majority of the Muslin world to be one of the most
authentic collection of the Sunnah of the Prophet (P.B.U.H.).
Bukhari full name (Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Ibrahin Bin Al-Mughira al-ja fai)
was born in 194 A.H. and died in 256 A.H. his collection of hadeeth is considered second to none
He spent sixteen years compilling it, and ended up with 2,602 hadeeth (9,082 with repetition).
His criteria for acceptance into the collection were amongst the most stringent of all the scholars of
ahadeeth.
Sahih Bukhari is divided into eight volumes, each of which has several books each book contain
many ahadeeth. The ahadeeth are numbered consecutively per volume. The books really only
serve to group ahadeeth together , but the volumes impose the numbering.
