Regarding the authenticity of Saheeh Bukhaari, Allamah Suyooti (rahimahullah) has mentioned that there is consensus of all the Ulama that this kitaab is the most authentic kitaab after the Qur\u2019aan Majeed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"itemFullText\">\n<p>It is reported that Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullah) compiled the Saheeh Bukhaari over a period of sixteen years. He selected the Ahaadith for this kitaab from a total of six hundred thousand Ahaadith. Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullah) mentioned, \u201cI only placed authentic Ahaadith in my kitaab. However, there are much more authentic Ahaadith which I have not included in my kitaab, the number of which surpass the number of authentic Ahaadith in my kitaab.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Reason for Compiling Saheeh Bukhaari<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullah) was once seated in the class of his ustaad, Imaam Ishaaq bin Raahwayh (rahimahullah), when Imaam Ishaaq (rahimahullah) said to the students, \u201cIt would be good if some of you compile a kitaab which only contains authentic Ahaadith of Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam)\u201d Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullah) took the instruction of his ustaad to heart and thus commenced compiling Saheeh Bukhaari.<\/p>\n<p>Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullah) also mentions the following regarding the reason for him compiling the Saheeh Bukhaari, \u201cI had a dream in which I saw myself standing before Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) and fanning flies away from him. When I awoke, I went to a person who was knowledgeable in the science of interpreting dreams and narrated the dream to him. He said to me, \u2018The interpretation of the dream is that you will repel lies and fabrications from (the Ahaadith of) Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam).\u2019 This is what motivated me to compile my kitaab.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>(Hadyus Saari pg. 7 and 491-492, Tadreeb-ur-Raawi 1\/96)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Allah Ta\u2018ala had blessed Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullah) with the taufeeq (ability) to author many different kitaabs relating to Hadith and the sciences of Hadith.
