Introductions
Sahih al-Bukhari is one of the most reliable and authentic collections of hadith in Islam, compiled by the renowned scholar Imam Muhammad al-Bukhari (810-870 CE). It is considered the most authentic book after the Quran and is central to Islamic literature. This article selects 10 Best Quotes on Prayer and Worship from Sahih al-Bukhari on worship and prayer for the sake of refreshing faith.
Imam Bukhari devoted 16 years of his life to meticulously compiling this monumental work. He traveled extensively throughout the Islamic world, collecting narrations from over 1,000 scholars, and scrutinizing the transmission (isnad) and text (matan) of each hadith. Of the approximately 600,000 narrations he collected, he included only 7,563 hadiths (including repetitions) in his *Sahih*, applying the strictest standards of authenticity. His method established the standard of hadith knowledge and earned his collection the title of *Sahih* (authentic).
The hadiths in *Sahih Al-Bukhari* cover a wide range of topics, including faith, worship, ethics, jurisprudence, and the life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
