Question

Which hadith book is most authentic

Answer 1

The most authentic books of Hadith are considered to be **Sahih al-Bukhari** and **Sahih Muslim**⁴⁵. These two books are highly regarded in the Islamic tradition and are considered the most authoritative books after the Quran⁴⁵.

**Sahih al-Bukhari** is a collection of Hadith by Muhammad ibn Isma'el al-Bukhari. It is considered the most authentic Islamic book after the Holy Quran³. All of its narrations are authentic³.

However, it's important to note that while these books are considered the most authentic, there are also other significant collections of Hadith, often referred to as the "Six Authentic Books" or "Kutub Al-Sittah". These include Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawood, Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Sunan al-Nasa'i, and Sunan ibn Majah¹².
