Saheeh al-Bukhari is a collection of Hadees by Muhammad ibn Isma'el al-Bukhari. It is considered as the most authentic Islamic book after the Holy Quran. All of its narrations are authentic. It is famous for the linking of ahadeeth to chapters. Saheeh Muslim is authored by Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj an-Naysaboori. The Hadiths are the collected accounts of the sayings, actions, and habits of the Prophet Muhammad; they are essential texts for practicing Muslims. Sayyiduna 'Abdullah ibn Mughaffal [radiyallahu 'anhu] narrates that the Messenger of Allah said: "Allah, Allah! Fear Him with regard to my Companions! Do not make them targets after me. Whoever loves them loves them with his love for me; and whoever hates them hates them with his hatred for me. All Muslims, be they Sunni or Shia, agree that hadiths are essential to understanding Islam. Hadith are important because without them the Qur'an does not make sense. They provide a context to the verses in the Qur'an. The Qur'an is a rather concise book and therefore contains many general statements. For instance, the Qur'an commands Muslims to pray, but it does not provide the details of how Imam Nawawi's 40 Hadith have come to be known as the most comprehensive and holistic collection of hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). They convey the essence of Islam as each hadith is based on a foundational principle of our religion. Read More. 5Q34.
