Description
The book has hadith about the manners of Islamic prophet Muhammad. It has 1,322 hadiths.[4] This book is overshadowed by Imam al-Bukhari's other book, the classic collection of hadiths, al-Jami' al-Sahih. There is a consensus amongst Muslim scholars that al-Jami' al-Sahih along with Sahih Muslim is the most authentic books of Islam after the Quran.[5]
Although al-Adab al-Mufrad was also a significant work of his, Imam al-Bukhari did not make it a requirement that the hadiths within al-Adab al-Mufrad meet the very strict and stringent conditions of authenticity which he laid down for his al-Jami' al-Sahih. However, based on the writings of later scholars who explained, commented and/or traced and classified the chains of narration within al-Adab al-Mufrad, most of the narrations within it were ruled to be authentic or at the least sound.[6]
