The six canonical collections

The Kutub as-Sittah — the six books Sunni scholarship treats as the core of the recorded Sunnah. Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim are the two most rigorously authenticated; the four Sunan arrange the hadiths by chapters of law and record a grading for each.

Earlier and shorter collections

The Muwatta of Imam Malik predates all six and pairs hadith with the settled practice of Madinah. The Forty Hadith collections are short by design — gathered to be memorised, and traditionally the first hadiths a student learns.

About the hadith collections

A hadith is a recorded report of what the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, did, or approved of. Together the hadiths make up the Sunnah, the second source of Islamic guidance after the Quran.

Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim are held to be the most rigorously authenticated, and are together called the Sahihayn. They form the first two of the six canonical collections, the Kutub as-Sittah.

They are verdicts on a hadith's chain of narration. Sahih means authentic, Hasan means sound but with a slightly weaker chain, and Da'if means weak. Bukhari and Muslim admitted only hadiths meeting their own conditions, so their collections carry no per-hadith grading; the four Sunan do.

The Arabic text, the English translations and the gradings come from the open hadith-api dataset, and the book titles are cross-checked against a second independent dataset before publishing. Nothing is edited or abridged.

Yes — every collection is free to read in full, with no ads, no account and no paywall. Falah is built purely as Sadaqah Jariyah.
