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 Sahihayn.

It is the first book to only include the ahadith without interpretations of the companions (ra) and their successors.

He traveled widely throughout the Abbasid Caliphate from the age of 16, collecting those traditions he thought trustworthy.

It is reported that al-Bukhari devoted 16 years to sifting the hadiths he included in his Sahih from a collection of nearly 600,000 narrations.

Sources differ on the exact number of hadiths in Bukharis Sahih, depending on whether a hadith is defined as a Prophetic tradition or a narration of that tradition.

Experts, in general, have estimated the number of full- isnad narration at 7,563, and without considerations to repetitions or different versions of the same report, the number of Prophetic traditions reduces to approximately 2,602.

At the time when Bukhari saw the earlier works and conveyed them, he found them, in their presentation, combining between what would be considered sahih (correct) and hasan (good) and that many of them included daf (weak) hadith.

This aroused his interest in compiling hadith whose authenticity was beyond doubt.

What further strengthened his resolve was something his teacher, hadith scholar Ishaq ibn Ibrahim al-Hanthalee better known as Ishaq Ibn Rahwayh had told him.

We were with Ishaq Ibn Rahwayh who said, If only you would compile a book of only authentic narrations of the Prophet.

This suggestion remained in my heart so I began compiling the Sahih.

Bukhari also said, I saw the Prophet in a dream and it was as if I was standing in front of him.

I asked some dream interpreters, who said to me, You will protect him from lies.

Bukhari finished his work around 846232 AH, and spent the last twenty-four years of his life visiting other cities and scholars, teaching the hadith he had collected.

In every city that Bukhari visited, thousands of people would gather in the main mosque to listen to him recite traditions.

In reply to Western academic doubts as to the actual date and authorship of the book that bears his name, scholars point out that notable hadith scholars of that time, such as Ahmad ibn Hanbal (855 CE241 AH), Yahya ibn Main (847 CE233 AH), and Ali ibn al-Madini (848 CE234 AH), accepted the authenticity of his book 9 and that the collections immediate fame makes it unlikely that it could have been revised after the authors death without historical record.

Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani in his book Nukat asserts the number of hadiths is the same in each version.

The most famous one today is the version narrated by al-Firabri (d.

CE320 AH), a trusted student of Bukhari, from which all printed editions derive today.

Al-Khatib al-Baghdadi in his book History of Baghdad quoted Firabri as saying: About seventy thousand people heard Sahih Bukhari with me.

Many others narrated the book to later generations, such as Ibrahim ibn Maqal (d.

CE295 AH), Hammad ibn Shaker (d.

CE311 AH), Mansur Burduzi (d.

CE319 AH) and Husain Mahamili (d.

CE330 AH). There are many books that noted differences between these versions, the best known being Fath al-Bari.

Muhammad al-Bukhari has followed two principal criteria for selecting sound narratives.

First, the lifetime of a narrator should overlap with the lifetime of the authority from whom he narrates.
