Sahih Muslim
صحيح مسلم
Text Size:
Sahih Muslim is the second most authentic Hadith collection in Sunni Islam, compiled by Imam Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj al-Naysaburi (204-261 AH/819-875 CE). Along with Sahih al-Bukhari, it forms the "Sahihayn" (the two authentic collections), considered the most reliable books after the Quran. Imam Muslim traveled extensively across the Islamic world,to Hijaz, Iraq, Egypt, and Syria,collecting approximately 300,000 Hadith narrations, from which he selected about 7,500 (including repetitions) for his collection. His rigorous methodology required that narrators be reliable, the chain of transmission (isnad) continuous, and the text (matn) free from hidden defects. Imam Muslim's distinctive contribution was his systematic arrangement,grouping all variant narrations of a single Hadith together for comprehensive comparison, demonstrating the transmission history and textual variations. He organized his work thematically into books covering faith, purification, prayer, zakah, fasting, pilgrimage, marriage, divorce, trade, governance, and virtues of companions. Sahih Muslim is particularly valued for its meticulous organization, clear presentation of textual variations, and inclusion of introductory chapters on Hadith sciences. It serves as an essential source for Islamic law, theology, and spirituality, providing detailed guidance on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) teachings and practice. Scholars and students worldwide continue to study Sahih Muslim as a foundational text of Islamic knowledge.
