Summarized Sahih Muslim

by مسلم بن الحجاج

Muslims believe that Sahih Muslim is the most authentic book of Hadith after Sahih Al-Bukhari. The Muslim Scholars have agreed that all of the Ahadith in Sahih Muslim are authentic. Thus, Darussalam realized the great benefit of publishing Al-Hafiz Al-Mundhiri's summarized version of Sahih Muslim in the English language. Much care has been taken in rendering these Ahadith into a clear and simple style of modern English. May Allah accept our work.

About the author

Imaam Abul-Husain Muslim ibn-ul-Hajjaaj al-Qushairee an-Naisaabooree

One of the chief authorities on the Hadeeth. Muslim traveled widely; his great work, Al-Musnad-us-Saheeh, is said to have been compiled from about 300,000 hadeeths, which he collected in Arabia, Egypt, Syria, and Iraq. The Saheeh has been unanimously acclaimed as authoritative and is one of the two canonical compilations of Hadeeth, along with the book of his teacher, Imaam al-Bukhaaree.

Muslim was careful to give a full account of the isnaads (chains of transmission) for each hadeeth and to record textual variations. The collection also includes an introduction discussing Hadeeth Science.
