Muhammad 賴bn Ismaa'eel ibn Ibraaheem ibn al-Mugheerah ibn Bardizbah al-Bukhaaree popularly known as al-Bukhaaree or Imaam al-Bukhaaree, was a Sunni Islamic scholar of Greater Khorasan. He is the author of the collection of hadeeths which Muslims regard as the most authentic of all Hadeeth compilations, Al-Jaami'-us-Saheeh. Most Sunni scholars consider it second only to the Qur鈥檃n in terms of authenticity. The Arabic word saheeh translates as authentic or correct.
Imaam al-Bukhaaree was born in 810 A.D. / 196 A.H. in Bukhara, Uzbekistan. His father, Ismail Ibn Ibrahim, was a known hadith scholar who died while he was still an infant and he was hence raised by his mother. Imam Bukhari began studying hadith, memorising works of Abdullah ibn al-Mubaarak while still a child.
At age of sixteen, Imam Bukhari made the pilgrimage to Mecca, beginning a series of travels in order to increase his knowledge of hadith. He went through all the important centres of Islamic learning of his time, talked to scholars and exchanged information on hadith. It is said that he heard from over 1,000 men, and learned over 600,000 traditions.
After sixteen years鈥� absence he returned to Bukhara, and drew up his al-Jami鈥� as-Sahih, a collection of 7,275 tested traditions, arranged in chapters so as to afford bases for a complete system of jurisprudence. Imam Bukhari finished his work around 846 A.D., and spent the last twenty-four years of his life visiting other cities and scholars, teaching the hadith he had collected. In every city that he visited, thousands of people would gather in the main mosque to listen to him recite traditions. Imam Bukhari died in a village near Samarkand in the year 870/256.
The Sahih Al-Bukhari book covers almost all aspects of life in providing proper guidance of Islam such as the method of performing prayers and other actions of worship directly from Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Hadiths are a practical example of the implementation of Quranic guidance and are essential supplements to the teachings of the Quran. Neither the Quran nor the Sunnah can be understood correctly without the other. They have been meticulously compiled by individuals with exceptional memory skills and analytical expertise like Imam Bukhari, who travelled tirelessly to collect thousands of narrations and distinguish the true words of prophetic wisdom. Muslims during the time of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and generations that followed and generations to come are blessed to have these pearls of wisdom to guide us in a righteous, Islamic way of life leading to Al-Firdaus.
A lengthy summarized collection of hadith from the Prophet Mohammed. These topics range from the five pillars of Islam (prayer, almsgiving, fasting, hajj, and monotheism) to anything and everything in between (jihad, good manners, prophets, and tons others). Reading this with the Quran will help the curious student. My advice is to read it in small portions to allow yourself to further comprehend.

Imam Bukhari's collection of ahadith 'abridged' (duplicate ahadith with different sanad [traditional chains of transmission] but the same matn [text] are omitted, leaving approximately 3,000 ahadith out of 8,000).
Sahih Bukhari is one of the 'kutub al-sittah', the 'six trustworthy books' canonized in proto-Sunni Islam [Shi'a have different ahadith] as essentially authorized commentaries on the Quran and essential sources of Islamic law (which regulates all the minutiae of daily life along with religious practice), a sort of Islamic Talmud (excuse the parallel) with biographical elements, recording the traditionally-attributed sayings and doings of Muhammad as traditionally considered to be told by his companions, the sahaba.
Bukhari is considered by Muslims the most reliable of the six, followed by Muslim, with three of the other four (Abu Dawud, Timirzi, Sugra) agreed upon - all five contain mostly the same ahadith, and the more of the kutub a given hadith is present in, the more authentic it is considered (agreement between Bukhari and Muslim is generally sufficient). The sixth is Ibn Majah, which contains a wide range of different ahadith - unless you adhere to the Maliki madhhab (school of law; there is little analogy to schools of theology, Islam being a orthopraxis-centered religion), in which case the sixth is instead Imam Malik.
It is an invaluable and unvarnished source for the study of the development of Sunni Islam in all its beauty and ugliness, truth and violence, regality and brutality, as all primary sources are. Recommend to be accompanied by the Qur'an, Wansbrough's 'Sectarian Milieu' and 'Qur'anic Studies', and Crone and Cook's 'Hagarism'. Martin Ling's biography of Muhammad (or Ibn Ishaq's Sirat Rasulallah) will help orient you according to the traditional Islamic view by partially contextualizing the putative occasions of revelation, both of the Qur'an and the sunnah recorded in the ahadith.
A parallel Arabic-English version is available in 9 volumes.

This book is a summarize collection of the sayings of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. The way I explained this to some of my non-Muslim friends is to describe it as a pseudo teacher who guides you through your first 20 lessons on driving a car. Sure you can look at an instruction manual and learn how to drive a car mechanically through a book but where driving really comes to life is when sitting in front of the steering wheel and going through life on the road. Essentially this is a collection of some very interesting observations of the Prophet peace be upon him behaviours and some of the things he said sometimes as a reaction to events that unfolded in his lifetime. There are various individuals in Islam who have collected these sayings and if you deep dive into Islamic history you can trace back and thereby verify the legitimacy of these sayings. Here are some of my interesting sayings:
Maybe a prophecy of what's happening In America today: where is the questioner who inquired about the doomsday hour? The Bedouin said. I am here. Then the Prophet said when Al Amanah i.e. trust or moral responsibility or honesty and all the duties which Allah has ordained is lost then wait for the doomsday hour. The Bedouin said: how will that be lost? The Prophet said: when the power or authority comes in the hands of unfit persons then wait for the hour.
Tahnik was a custom among the Muslims that whenever a child was born they used to take it to the Prophet peace be upon him who would chew a piece of date and put a part of its juice in the child's mouth. I saw the Prophet peace be upon him and he had an instrument for branding in his hands and was branding the camels of As-Sadaqa.
On travelling which again is a subject which I think today's millennial madness lionises beyond description: the Prophet peace be upon him said travelling is a kind of torture as it prevents one from eating drinking and sleeping properly. So when one's needs are fulfilled one should return quickly to ones family.
The Prophet peace be upon him came to Medina and saw the Jews fasting on the day of Ashura. He asked them about that. They replied that this is a good day the day in which Allah rescued Bani Israel from the enemy. So Moses observed the fast on this day. The Prophet said we have more claim over Moses than you. So the Prophet observed fast on that day and ordered Muslims to observe the fast on that day also.
The Prophet said: help your brother whether he is an oppressor or is an oppressed one. People then asked oh Prophet of God! It is alright to help him if he is oppressed but how should we help him if he is an oppressor? The Prophet said by preventing him from oppressing others.
This certainly puts the sport of boxing into question: The Prophet peace be upon him said if somebody fights or beats somebody then he should avoid the face.
54. The book of the beginning of creation. Chapter 8. 1389: the Prophet peace be upon him said: yawning is from Satan and if anyone of you yawns he should check his yawning as much as possible for if anyone of you during the act of yawning should say: 鈥渉a鈥� . Satan will laugh at him.
54 the book of beginning of creation. Chapter 11. 1397: The Prophet peace be upon him said if a house fly falls in the drink of anyone of you he should put it in the drink for one of its wings has a disease and the other has the cure for the disease.
54 the book of beginning of creation. Chapter 11. 1398: A prostitute passed by a panting dog near a well and saw that the dog was about to die of thirst, she took off her leather sock or shoe and tied it with her head cover and drew out some water for it. So Allah forgave her because of that.
55 the book of stories of the prophets. Chapter one. 1400: the first meal of the people of paradise will be extra caudate lobe of fish liver. As for the resemblance of the child to its parents: if a man has sexual intercourse with his wife and gets discharge first, the child will resemble the father, and if the woman gets discharge first, the child will resemble her.
55. The book of the stories of prophets. Chapter 13. 1428: my example and example of the people is like that of a man who lit a fire moths and other insects started falling into it. He also said: there were two women each of whom had a child with her. A Wolf came and took away the child of one of them whereupon the other said: it has taken your child. The first said: but it has taken your child. So they both carried the case before the prophet David who judged that the living child should be given to the elder lady. So both of them went to Solomon the son of David and informed him of the case. He said: bring me a knife so as to cut the child into two pieces and distributed between them. The younger lady said: may allah be merciful to you. Don't do that for it is hers i.e. the other lady鈥檚 child. So he gave the child to the younger lady.
55. The book of the stories of the prophets. Chapter 33. 1491: the best amongst you are those who have the best manners and character.
55. The book of the stories of the prophets. Chapter 33. 1492: Whenever the Prophet peace be upon him was given the choice of one of two matters, he would choose the easier of the two.
55. The book of the stories of the prophets. Chapter 33. 1497: The Prophet peace be upon him used to talk so clearly that if somebody wants to count the number of his words he could do so.
57. The book of Al Maghazi: chapter 45. 1698: The Prophet peace be upon him set out for Tabuk appointing Ali as his deputy in Medina. Ali said: do you want to leave me with the children and women? The Prophet peace be upon him said: will you not be pleased that you will be to me like Aaron to Moses? But there will be no Prophet after me.
58. The book of commentary. Chapter 63. 1781: as regards paradise, Allah will create a new creation to fill it with. (this hadith begs the question: what is that new creation that Allah will fill paradise with?)
84. The book of trials and afflictions. Chapter 10. 2198: the hour will not be established until #1: two big groups fight each other whereupon there will be a great number of casualties on both sides and they will be following one and the same religious doctrine. #2 about 30 Dajjals appear in each one of them will claim that he is gods Messenger. #3 the religious knowledge is taken away by the death of religious scholars. #4 earthquakes will increase in number. Number five time will pass quickly. #6 trials and afflictions will appear. #7 killing will increase. #8 wealth will be in abundance so abundant that a wealthy person will worry lest nobody should accept his Sadaqa and whenever he will present it to someone that person to whom it is presented will say: I am not in need of it. #9 the people compete with one another in constructing high buildings. #10 a man when passing by a grave of someone will say: would that I were in his place. #11 until the sun rises from the West. So when the sun will rise and the people will see it rising from the West they will all embrace Islam but that will be a time when Allah said: no goodwill it do to a person to believe then if he or she believed not before nor earned good by performing deeds of righteousness through his or her faith.
It is said that Muhammad Bin Ismael Bukhari offered 2 Nawafil before the writing of every Hadith, while compiling this collection of hadiths narrated by Holy Prophet (PBUH). It is regarded as the most authentic book after the Holy Quran. I had an English translated version, my father bought for me many years ago, which I used to read religiously and enthusiastically. It contains Hadiths from almost every area of life.
