Sahih Bukhari is the most authentic and widely respected collection of Hadith in Sunni Islam. Imam Bukhari spent 16 years compiling it, collecting over 600,000 narrations and selecting approximately 7,275 (with repetitions) based on his rigorous authenticity criteria. His full name was Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Ismail al-Bukhari, and he was born in 194 AH (810 CE) in Bukhara (present-day Uzbekistan).
Imam Bukhari's Sahih is considered the most authentic book after the Holy Quran by Sunni Muslims. It is the first book in the Sihah Sitta (the six authentic Hadith collections). Imam Bukhari's methodology required that each narrator in the chain must have met the preceding narrator, ensuring an unbroken chain of transmission. He passed away in 256 AH (870 CE) in Khartank, near Samarkand.
