Sahifah al-Sadiqah: The First Book of Hadith

In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Sahifah al-Sadiqah: The First Book of Hadith by Sajid Mahmood Ansari During the early stages of the revelation of the Qur'an, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) took measures to ensure that his words, known as hadith, were not recorded alongside the Qur'an. This decision was made to prevent any potential confusion between the divine scripture, the Qur'an, and the sayings or actions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The primary reason for this distinction was to safeguard the Qur'an's unique status as the direct word of God, as Muslims believe it was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) through the angel Gabriel. The Qur'an is considered the ultimate and unalterable source of guidance for Muslims, containing the teachings, principles, and laws that form the foundation of the Islamic faith and practice.

When those youths sought refuge in the Cave and said: "Our Lord! Grant us mercy from Yourself and provide for us rectitude in our affairs."

Authenticity of Sahih al-Bukhari

In the Name of Allah---the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. Here is a brief introduction to the most authentic Hadith book, titled Sahih al-Bukhari. The era in which Imam Muhammad bin Ismail al-Bukhari, may God bless him and grant him peace, opened his eyes was a period full of temptations for the Muslim Ummah. Some groups fascinated by Greek thought and philosophy were busy attacking certain Muslim beliefs and ideas of Islam. On the other hand, the enemies of Islam were engaged in fabricating narrations from their masters to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) due to the high status of the tradition of interpretation of the Qur'an (Ilm-e-Hadith) in the Muslim Ummah. The traditions passed down were related to the beliefs, principles and branches of religion. This is the period when the above-mentioned groups either completely denied the authenticity of hadith by using the hadith as an argument, or deviated from recognizing the authority of the strong and reliable traditions of the Ummah
