Sahih al-Bukhari (English)

Sahih Bukhari in English. Authored by Muhammed Al Bukhari. Translated in English by M. Muhsin Khan. Content Copied from www.islamhouse.com

Al-Bukhari traveled widely throughout the Abbasid empire from the age of 16, collecting those traditions he thought trustworthy. It is said that al-Bukhari collected over 300,000 hadith and included only 2,602 traditions in his Sahih.

The book covers almost all aspects of life in providing proper guidance of Islam such as the method of performing prayers and other actions of worship directly from the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Bukhari finished his work around 846, and spent the last twenty-four years of his life visiting other cities and scholars, teaching the hadith he had collected.

In every city that Bukhari visited, thousands of people would gather in the main mosque to listen to him recite traditions.
