Collection

These prophetic traditions were collected by the Sunni scholar Muhammad ibn Ismail al-Bukhari (810-870) and published during his lifetime. He was a scholar from Bukhara, hence the name by which he is known. He traveled widely throughout the Abbasid empire, collecting traditions. He is said to have spent sixteen years writing down those traditions he thought trustworthy.

Views

Sunni view of al-Bukhari

Sunni view this as their most trusted collection, calling it "The most authentic book after the Holy Qur'an".^{[citation needed]} This article or section seems to contain too many quotations for an encyclopedia entry. ...

Sunni Muslims believe that al-Bukhari spent sixteen years collecting and writing down those traditions he thought trustworthy. They recount that Bukhari collected over 300,000 hadith ^[3] and transmitted only 2,602 traditions that he believed to be Sahih [1]. It is said that before he placed a hadith in his collection, he would perform ghusl (fullgreater ritual ablution) and prayed two Rakah (Islamic unit for form of prayer) Nafl (voluntary prayer) to ask God for guidance.^[4] Sahih is a Islamic term that means authentic. ... Ghusl (غسل) is an Arabic term referring to the full Ablution in Islam. ...

Sunnis believe that al-Bukhari finished his work in 846, and that he spent the last twenty-four years of his life visiting other cities and scholars, teaching the hadith he had collected. They say that in every city that he visited, thousands of people would gather in the main mosque to listen to him recite traditions. Regarding Western academic doubts as to the actual date and authorship of the book that bears his name, Sunni say that notable hadith scholars of that time, such as Ahmad Ibn Hanbal 855, Ibn Maīn 847, and Ibn Madīni 848, all accepted the authenticity of his book [2] [3]. Thus, the collection's inmediate fame makes arguments regarding its being changed after the author's death highly improbable. Events The Moors temporarily recapture León. ...

Nine volumes of Sahih al-Bukhari

During this long period of twenty-four years, Bukhari made minor changes to his book, in particular its chapter headings. Each version is named by its narrator. According to Ibn Hajar Asqalani in his book Nukat, the number of hadiths in all narrations (versions) is the same. The most famous one today is the version narrated by al-Firabri (d. 932), who is a trusted student of Bukhari. Khatib al-Baghdadi in his book History of Baghdad had quoted Firabri saying: "There were about seventy thousand people who have heard Sahih Bukhari with me".

Firabri is not the only transmitter of Sahih al-Bukhari. There were many others that narrated that book to later generations, such as Ibrahim ibn Ma'qal (d. 907), Hammad ibn Shaker (d. 923), Mansur Burduzi (d. 931), and Husain Mahamili (d. 941). There are many books that noted differences between these versions; Fath al-Bari is the most famous among them.

Shia view of al-Bukhari

In contrast to Sunni Muslims who believe that Bukhari's Collection of Hadeeths is "The most authentic book after the Holy Qur'an".[citation needed], Shia Muslims do not share the same view. Although there are many hadeeths amongst this collection which are accepted by Shia's, there are also many clearly fabricated Ahadeeths, which Shia Muslims question, with logic and intellect. Verily, Bukhari is not infallible like Qu'ran.

Below are just a few of the many Ahadeeths Shia Muslims use to show their view:

Below are some criticism of Sahih ul Bukhari

Sahih Bukhari Volume 3, Book 43, Number 651: Narrated Hudhaifa:

"I saw Allah's Apostle coming (or the Prophet came) to the dumps of some people and urinated there while standing."

We'll let readers jusge the authenticity of this one.

Sahih Bukhari, Kitab-e-Ghusl, Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "The (people of) Bani Israel used to take bath naked (all together) looking at each other. The Prophet Moses used to take a bath alone. They said, ‘By Allah! Nothing prevents Moses from taking a bath with us except that he has a scrotal hernia.’ So once Moses went out to take a bath and put his clothes over a stone and then that stone ran away with his clothes. Moses followed that stone saying, ‘My clothes, O stone! My clothes, O stone!’ till the people of Bani Israel saw him and said, ‘By Allah, Moses has got no defect in his body.’ Moses took his clothes and began to beat the stone." Abu Huraira added, "By Allah! There are still six or seven marks present on the stone from that excessive beating."

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "When the Prophet Job (Aiyub) was taking a bath naked, golden locusts began to fall on him. Job started collecting them in his clothes. His Lord addressed him, ‘O Job! Haven't I given you enough so that you are not in need of them.’ Job replied, ‘Yes! By Your Honor (power)! But I cannot dispense with Your Blessings.’"

Do you actually believe such a thing is possible for the holy Prophet Moses, or that a stone, an inanimate object, could take away his clothes? Surely it would be impossible for a Prophet to run naked before the people.

We shall leave it upto the reader to decide whether a stone, an inanimate object, could take away his clothes ? And surely it would be impossible for a Prophet to run naked before the people.

Sahih Al-Bukhari: Volume 4, Book 54, Number 537

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said "If a house fly falls in the drink of anyone of you, he should dip it (in the drink), for one of its wings has a disease and the other has the cure for the disease."

Here is what the medical world says:

There are many bacteria and parasites that infest the fly, making flies a major factor in spreading many diseases by touching surfaces with their legs or their saliva. After walking on much excrement, flies may carry up to as many as 6 million bacterias on their feet. SO BE WARY OF FOODS THAT HAVE BEEN TOUCHED BY A FLY! Here's some information on the diseases some flies are known to help spread. (Source: http://library.thinkquest.org/C0117442/html/diseases.html)

(Bukhari Book of Nikah 3:52)

"The Holy Prophet used to visit all nine wives every night"

"The Holy Prophet used to have intercourse with all his wives in one hour of the day and night (without taking a bath) and these wives were eleven."

On the other hand, Bukhari repeatedly narrates that the Holy Prophet used to stand at prayers all night. So much so that his feet used to swell.

(Bukhari Book of Nikah 3:52)

"The Holy Prophet said that the best of his followers is the one who has the greatest number of wives"

Yet, the Qur'an (49:13) tells us that the best person is the one who is best in conduct. Direct Contradiction.

(Bukhari Book of Nikah 3:55)

"The Holy Prophet disapproved of his companion Jabir's plan to marry a widow and asked. Why did you not marry a virgin, so you played with her and she played with you"

The Holy Prophet was extremely compassionate to widows and divorced women.

(Bukhari, Book of Nikah 3:57).

"Prophet Abraham lied three times"

Insulting/Accusing the Patriarch of Faith. One of the Top 5 Prophets. Is it even possible for one second to think that one of the top five people in all the Human Race, lied three times ?

(Bukhari Beginning of creation 2:251)

"Woman was created from the rib of a man, so she will always remain crooked"

This is a Biblical statement. Later, it adds and reap advantage. The Qur'an does not state that woman was created from a rib.

(Bukhari 2:269)

"Aisha said: The Prophet used to have intercourse with us and kissed us while he was fasting"

Intercourse is not allowed whilst fasting.

"Khola bint Hakeem presented herself to the Prophet. Aisha exclaimed, 'The woman does not feel ashamed of saying this!' However, the Prophet started receiving a revelation and Aisha complained, 'O' Messenger of Allah! I see that your Lord rushes to fulfill your desires'" (Bukhari, Kitabun Nikah p.67).

Here, some criminal is trying to create doubt in the Holy Revelation.

Do you ever see an animal born with deformed organs? (Bukhari 1:525).

Animals are born with deformities. Someone in this narration is trying to attribute his ignorance to the most knowledgeable man of all time.

• "The Messenger of Allah addressed his wife Safia as 'you bald-headed perished one!'" (Bukhari, Kitabut Talaq p.143).
• "Umro bin Maimoon reported, 'I saw a monkey surrounded by a swarm of other monkeys. He had committed adultery with a female monkey. So, all monkeys stoned him to death. I cast stones, too.' A variation of this hadith reports, 'The female monkey had been lying down with a middle-aged male when a young male came and gestured with his eye. The female slowly pulled her hand away from under the head of the middle-aged monkey and tiptoed away from him. Then she committed adultery with the young monkey. The older monkey got wind of what had happened so he yelled and gathered around him all monkeys in the vicinity. They stoned both (the adulterers) to death!'" (Bukhari 2:261).
