According to Muhammad Amin, there are 1,400 authentic hadiths that are reported in other books, mainly the six major hadith collections. However, it is important to realize that Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj never claimed to collect all authentic traditions as his goal was to collect only traditions that all Muslims should agree on about accuracy.Īccording to Munthiri, there are a total of 2,200 hadiths (without repetition) in Sahih Muslim. Sahih Muslim is divided into 43 books, containing a total of 7190 narrations. Sunni Muslims consider it the second most authentic hadith collection, after Sahih al-Bukhari. Each report in his collection was checked and the veracity of the chain of reporters was painstakingly established. Out of 300,000 hadith which he evaluated, approximately 4,000 were extracted for inclusion into his collection based on stringent acceptance criteria. He traveled widely to gather his collection of ahadith (plural of hadith), including to areas now in Iraq, the Arabian Peninsula, Syria and Egypt. The collector of the Sahih Muslim, Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj, was born into a Persian family in 204 AH (817/18 CE) in Nishapur (in modern-day Iran) and died in 261 AH (874/75 CE) in the city of his birth. Regardless of this, Sunni Muslims believe it to be genuine and authentic.

Its authenticity has sometimes been questioned due to the fact that it was written over 250 years after the Islamic Prophet, Muhammed. and considered the second most authentic hadith collection after Sahih al-Bukhari. It is highly acclaimed by Sunni Muslims as well as Zaidi Shia Muslims.
