Sahih al-Bukhari at Arabic Wikisource

Sahih al-Bukhari (Arabic: صحيح البخاري, romanizedṢaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī) is the first hadith collection of the Six Books of Sunni Islam. Compiled by Islamic scholar al-Bukhari (d. 870) in the musannaf format, the work is valued by Sunnis, alongside Sahih Muslim, as the most authentic after the Qur'an.

During the reign of Abbasid caliph al-Wathiq (r. 842–847), al-Bukhari organized the book mostly in Hijaz at the Sacred Mosque of Mecca and the Prophet's Mosque of Medina, and completed the work in Bukhara. The work was examined by his teachers Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Ali ibn al-Madini and Yahya ibn Ma'in.

Sahih (صحيح) means "authentic". The original name of the work is Al-Jami Al-Musnad Al-Sahih Al-Mukhtasar Min Umur Rasul Allah Sallá Allah Alayhi Wa-Sallam Wa-Sunanihi Wa-Ayyamihi (الجامع المسند الصحيح المختصر من أُمور رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلّم وسننه وأيامه), which means "The shortened authentic (sahih) collection with isnads from the affairs of the Messenger, peace be upon Him, and His traditions and His days".
