Sahih Muslim is one of the most authentic collections of hadith in Sunni Islam, compiled by the Islamic scholar Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj (821–875 CE). It is considered second only to Sahih al-Bukhari in terms of authenticity and is part of the “Sahihain,” the two most reliable hadith collections. Sahih Muslim meticulously gathers sayings, actions, and approvals of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) with a rigorous methodology that emphasizes the reliability of the chain of narrators. The collection covers a broad spectrum of Islamic jurisprudence, ethics, theology, and ritual practices, serving as a foundational reference for scholars and students of Islamic knowledge worldwide.
Book 47, The Book of Knowledge, discusses the importance, pursuit, and proper conveyance of knowledge.
