Hadith Science

Hadith are the recorded sayings, actions, and approvals of Prophet Muhammad, serving as the second primary source of Islamic guidance after the Quran. These prophetic traditions provide detailed explanations of Islamic teachings and serve as practical examples for Muslim life and conduct.

Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj (817–875 CE) compiled Sahih Muslim, the second most authoritative hadith collection in Sunni Islam. A student of al-Bukhari, he grouped all chains of transmission for each hadith together, making his work especially valuable for studying transmission history.
