Sahih Al Bukhari is a collection of sayings and deeds of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), also known as the sunnah. The reports of the Prophet's sayings and deeds are called hadith.

Bukhari lived a couple of centuries after the Prophet's death and worked extremely hard to collect the hadith. Each report in his collection was checked for compatibility with the Qur'an, and the veracity of the chain of reporters had to be painstakingly established. Bukhari's collection is recognized by the overwhelming majority of the Muslim world to be one of the most authentic collections of the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH).

Imam Al Bukhari (full name Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Ismail bin Ibrahim bin al-Mughira al-Ja'fai) was born in 194 AH in Bukhara, Uzbekistan, and died in 256 AH. His collection of hadith is considered second to none. He spent 16 years compiling it and ended up with 2,602 hadith (9,082 with repetition). His criteria for acceptance into the collection were amongst the most stringent of all the scholars of hadith.

Sahih Al Bukhari is one of the Kutub al-Sittah (six major hadith collections) of Sunni Islam, compiled by a Muslim scholar Muhammad al-Bukhari. It was completed around 846 CE/232 AH. Sunni Muslims view this as one of the two most trusted collections of hadith along with Sahih Muslim. The Arabic word sahih translates as "authentic" or "correct". Sahih al-Bukhari, together with Sahih Muslim, is known as the Sahihayn.

Sahih Al Bukhari contains around 2,600 hadith without repetitions and 7,563 hadith with repetitions. It is an important book in Islamic literature. It is the first book to only include the hadith without interpretations of the companions (RA) and their successors. Al-Bukhari is considered to be the most authentic source of Hadith.
