Practice these MCQs in the appQuick fact: The two collections of Hadith referred to as Sahihain are Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.
The term "Sahihain" (meaning "the two Sahihs") is used by Hadith scholars to refer to the two most authentic and authoritative collections of Hadith: Sahih al-Bukhari compiled by Imam Bukhari and Sahih Muslim compiled by Imam Muslim. These two works are considered the highest in authenticity among the six canonical Hadith collections (Sihah Sitta) and are universally accepted by the Muslim Ummah. Together they form the primary source of Prophetic traditions after the Quran.
Imam Bukhari (d. 256 AH) and Imam Muslim (d. 261 AH) were both students of Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal and other great scholars. Sahih Bukhari contains approximately 7,275 Hadith (with repetitions) and took 16 years to compile, while Sahih Muslim contains about 12,000 Hadith (with repetitions). Both compilers applied extremely rigorous criteria for accepting narrations, requiring an unbroken chain of reliable narrators.
