Some Words about Compilation

Muslim bin Qadim-Al-Qurtabi, a scholar of the rank of Ad-Dara Qutni, while mentioning Imám Muslim, writes in his history:

No one has compiled a book like Sahih Muslim.” This appreciation is based on the best form, excellent arrangements, and easy understanding of the book, because he has selected a suitable topic for all traditions (Ahadith) and collected in it all the modes of transmission of all the Ahádíth (traditions) he selected to report.

He has produced their different versions. It is in contrast with the way adopted by Imam Bukhari because he had mentioned these modes of transmission in different chapters and has produced most of the Ahádíth in more than one chapter where the human mind expects to find their mention.

It is why the scholars have disapproved of Bukhari’s mode of transmission of the Ahádíth because they do not find them in the places where they are expected to be available. Therefore, it is the arrangement of Sahih Muslim that I have kept in view and adopted.

 I have derived the names of Kutub (Books) and Abwáb (Chapters) along with their numbers from it.

I have taken from Sahih Al-Bukhari the text of those Ahadith that are also agreed upon by Imam Muslim. At the end of every Hadith, I have described its origin in Sahih Al-Bukhári. Muhammad Fu’ad Abdul-Báqi
