They were all compiled in the 9th and early 10th centuries, roughly from 840 to 912 CE and are thought to embody the Sunnah of Muhammad. The books are the of al-Bukhari (), the of Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj (), the of Abu Dawud (), the of al-Tirmidhi (), the of al-Nasa'i (), and the of Ibn Majah () as the sixth book, though some (particularly the Malikis and Ibn al-Athir) instead listed the of Malik ibn Anas () as the sixth book, and other scholars list of al-Daraqutni () as the sixth book.

The two pre-eminent works among the Six, the collections of al-Bukhari and Muslim (also the only two compilations which aimed to only include ' authenticated' hadith), are known as the ''Sahihayn''. They were the first to be canonized over the course of t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
