Sahih al-Bukhari 1235 (Book 23, Hadith 35)
`Umair was martyred and he was better than I, and he had nothing except his Burd (a black square
narrow dress) to be shrouded in. Hamza or another person was martyred and he was also better than I
and he had nothing to be shrouded in except his Burd. No doubt, I fear that the rewards of my deeds
might have been given early in this world.” Then he started weeping.

This monumental work is a primary component of the Kutub al-Sittah, or the six canonical books of hadith. It is distinguished by its rigorous methodology and is often considered the most authentic book after the Quran. The collection is meticulously organized into 97 chapters, encompassing approximately 7,563 individual narrations of the Prophet Muhammad’s sayings, actions, and approvals, forming a vital foundation for Islamic law and practice.
