Sahih
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
ahadith.
Bukhari
lived
a
couple
of
centuries
after
the
Prophet's
death
and
worked
extremely
hard
to
collect
his
ahadith.
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).
