Sahih Bukhari is a comprehensive collection of the sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), collectively known as the Sunnah. Recognized as one of the Kutub al-Sittah, or six major collections of hadith in Islam, it serves as an authoritative source for Islamic teachings. Imam Bukhari dedicated years to meticulously gathering hadith, ensuring each report aligned with the Qur'an, and establishing the integrity of the chain of narrators. His work is widely acknowledged within the Muslim community as one of the most authentic records available.

Bukhari, whose full name was Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Ismail bin Ibrahim bin al-Mughira al-Ja'fai, spent sixteen years compiling this collection, ultimately achieving 2,602 unique hadiths (9,082 with repetitions). His stringent criteria for inclusion in this compilation set a high standard among scholars of hadith. The Sahih Bukhari collection is organized into nine volumes, each divided into several books that contain numerous hadiths, consecutively numbered for ease of reference.

The term 'hadith' denotes discourse and encompasses what Muslims believe to be records of the words, actions, and tacit approvals of Prophet Muhammad. Within Islamic tradition, hadith form the backbone of religious law and ethical guidance, serving as a vital complement to the Qur'an. The authority granted to hadith as a source is only secondary to that of the Qur'an itself, which serves as the foundational text of Islam.

The Qur'an, also referred to as Koran or romanized as Qur'an, is regarded by Muslims as a divine revelation delivered to Muhammad via the archangel Gabriel over 23 years. It consists of 114 chapters containing verses that are highly esteemed in Arabic literature. The Qur'an is considered Muhammad's most significant miracle and a culmination of previous revelations made to prophets throughout history.
