What is Bukhari?

Bukhari refers to "Sahih al-Bukhari," a highly regarded collection of hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad) compiled by the Islamic scholar Imam Muhammad ibn Ismail al-Bukhari in the 9th century. It is considered one of the most authentic sources of hadith in Sunni Islam, containing over 7,000 narrations that cover various aspects of Islamic life, law, and theology. Bukhari's meticulous methodology in verifying the authenticity of hadith has made his compilation a central text for Muslims seeking to understand the teachings of Islam.
