Bukhari
Bukhari (Muhammad ibn Isma‘il al-Bukhari) (810-870). Arab scholar. Born in Bukhara (now in Uzbekistan). As a youth he began traveling throughout the Muslim world collecting the oral traditions of the prophet Muhammad. Of the more than 600,000 traditions he collected, he compiled 7275 of them in al-Salih (The Genuine) or al-Jami al-Sahih (The Authentic Collection). Al-Salih is regarded by orthodox Muslims, the Sunnites, as being surpassed in importance only by the Qur’an. Following a theologicial dispute, al-Bukhari was banished to Kartank, near Samarkand (now in Uzbekistan), where he died. His tomb has been the destination of many pilgrimages.
Al-Bukhari is best known and revered for his encyclopedic collection of Hadith, al-Jami al-Sahih (“The Authentic Collection”). Often viewed popularly in Islam and until recently in modern scholarship as the first to assemble a comprehensive, critically selected, topically arranged corpus of the most reliable hadith, Bukhari must now be seen as one whose work followed and was based upon previous written collections. This does not diminish, however, his book’s importance among Muslims as, along with the Sahih of Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj, the most respected source for reports of Muhammad’s words and deeds.
Muhammad ibn Ismail al-Bukhari, popularly known as al-Bukhari, or Imam Bukhari, was a famous Sunni Islamic scholar of Bukharian/Persian (Tajik) ancestry, best known for authoring the hadith collection named Sahih Bukhari, a collection which Sunni Muslims regard as the most authentic of all hadith compilations and the most authoritative book after the Qur'an.
His full name is Muhammad ibn Ismail ibn Ibrahim ibn al-Mughirah ibn Bardizbah al-Bukhari. He was born in 810 in the city of Bukhara (which was a part of Khorason at that time), in what is today Uzbekistan. His father, Ismail ibn Ibrahim, was a known hadith scholar who died while he was young.
At age of sixteen, al-Bukhari, together with his brother and widowed mother made the pilgrimage to Mecca (Makkah). From there he made a series of travels in order to increase his knowledge of hadith. He went through all the important centers 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, both authentic and rejected ones.
After sixteen years' absence he returned to Bukhara, and there drew up his al-Jami' al-Sahih, a collection of 7,275 tested traditions, arranged in chapters so as to afford bases for a complete system of jurisprudence without the use of speculative law.
His book is highly regarded among Sunni Muslims, and considered the most authentic collection of hadith (a minority of Sunni scholars consider Sahih Muslim, compiled by Bukhari's student Imam Muslim, more authentic). Most Sunni scholars consider it second only to the Qur'an in terms of authenticity. He also composed other books, including al-Adab al-Mufrad, which is a collection of hadiths on ethics and manners, as well as two books containing biographies of hadith narrators.
In the year 864, he settled in Nishapur. It was in Nishapur (Neyshabour) that he met Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj. He would be considered his student, and eventually collector and organizer of hadith collection Sahih Muslim which is considered second only to that of al-Bukhari. Political problems led him to move to Khartank, a village near Bukhara where he died in the year 870.
His works include:
Al-Jami' al-Sahih, also known as Sahih Bukhari
Al Adab Al Mufrad, Guidance in Good Manners and Etiquette for Muslims
al-Tarikh al-Kabir, The Great History, containing biographies of narrators, with a rating of each
al-Tarikh al-Saghir - The Little History, an abridged version of the Great History
