Translated from the original Arabic into English, provides a vivid insight into the moral conduct of the early Muslims in a society led by the perfect character of the Prophet Muhammad, pbuh ('I was only sent to perfect good character.) The Prophet's Companions represent excellent examples of men of vigorous moral stature whose conduct inspired and attracted the masses to the fold of Islam wherever they went during the expansion of Muslim territories, and contrary to the stereotypic portrayal, in the West, of Islam as being spread by the sword. The Prophet's words are as relevant today as they were fourteen hundred years ago. This unique collection of 1322 ahadith and athar is one of the earliest and most authentic works on Islamic etiquette and the Islamic way of life. Not only are they practical and inspiring, they also fulfil a desperate need for authoritative guide on morality and spirituality for Muslims living in a modern, secular society, where the line between right and wrong is increasingly blurred. This book is an essential cornerstone of Islamic morality and is suitable for the general reader and the academic alike. Its author, Imam Bukhari (194-256AH / 810 - 870 CE) is the most celebrated figure in Islamic literary history. "Al-Adab Al-Mufrad" is an absolutely essential addition to every Islamic library.
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.
The book is awesome and probably a must read for all Muslims. This book can also be called a character sketch of the Prophet Muhammad SAW and Top Class Suhaaba.. this book in no way sugarcoats any of the aspects of their behaviour to appeal to any audience of the world... This book has so much knowledge and so much yet to explore, it leaves the reader to learn more of hadith. This book is definitely not easy to read but can be read slowly... The book has around 1300 hadiths covering many aspects of life... The reason for 4 stars is that this book has some incomplete ahadith which sometimes lead the reader manipulated to think that the Prophet promoted XYZ.. overall I would recommend this book to be read by all muslims slowly and remember and apply of it as much as you can
Finished this just when I needed it, and the last hadith on not getting too attached to anything brought solace to my heart just when my anxiety about my job is at an all-time high.

Thank you to all my teachers who rave about this book, especially Sh Abu Eesa, who taught the Al Maghrib course 鈥楶rotect This House鈥� using ahadith from this collection.
