Muhammad al-Bukhari

Al-Bukhari's mausoleum Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Ismāʿīl ibn Ibrāhīm al-Juʿfī al-Bukhārī (; 21 July 810 – 1 September 870) was a 9th-century Muslim ''muhaddith'' who is widely regarded as the most important ''hadith'' scholar in the history of Sunni Islam. Al-Bukhari's extant works include the ''hadith'' collection ''Sahih al-Bukhari'', ''al-Tarikh al-Kabir'', and ''al-Adab al-Mufrad''.

Born in Bukhara in present-day Uzbekistan, Al-Bukhari began learning ''hadith'' at a young age. He travelled across the Abbasid Caliphate and learned under several influential contemporary scholars. Bukhari memorized thousands of ''hadith'' narrations, compiling the ''Sahih al-Bukhari'' in 846. He spent the rest of his life teaching the ''hadith'' he had collected. Towards the end of his life, Bukhari faced claims the Quran was created, and was exiled from Nishapur. Subsequently, he moved to Khartank, near Samarkand.

''Sahih al-Bukhari'' is revered as the most important ''hadith'' collection in Sunni Islam. ''Sahih al-Bukhari'' and ''Sahih Muslim,'' the ''hadith'' collection of Al-Bukhari's student Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj, are together known as the Sahihayn () and are regarded by Sunnis as the most authentic books after the Quran. It is part of the Kutub al-Sittah, the six most highly regarded collections of ''hadith'' in Sunni Islam. Provided by Wikipedia
