Practice these MCQs in the appQuick fact: The two books referred to as Sahihain in Islamic tradition are Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.
The term "Sahihain" (meaning "the two Sahihs") is used because Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim are universally regarded as the most authentic collections of Hadith in Sunni Islam. Both works applied rigorous criteria for accepting narrations, and together they form the highest tier of the Sihah Sitta (the six authentic Hadith collections).
Imam Bukhari (d. 256 AH) compiled his Sahih after sifting through approximately 600,000 narrations, selecting only around 7,275 hadith (with repetitions). Imam Muslim (d. 261 AH), a student of Imam Bukhari, compiled his Sahih with about 12,000 hadith. Both collections are distinguished by their strict isnad (chain of narration) verification and are considered second only to the Quran in authority by Sunni Muslims.
