The four major Hadith books in Islam are Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawood, and Jami’ at-Tirmidhi. These collections are highly respected because they carefully recorded the sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), serving as a guide for Muslims in daily life and faith.

The Qur’an was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) over 23 years, beginning in 610 CE. During his lifetime, it was memorised by his companions and written down on materials like parchment and bones. Soon after his passing in 632 CE, it was compiled into one complete book during the caliphate of Abu Bakr (RA) and later standardised under Uthman ibn Affan (RA).

The companion who narrated the most Hadiths is Abu Hurairah (RA). He was very close to the Prophet (PBUH) and spent much of his time learning and memorising his sayings. Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated over 5,000 Hadiths, making him one of the most important sources of Islamic knowledge.

The three main types of Hadith are: a) Sahih (authentic): Strong and reliable narrations. b) Hasan (good): Acceptable but slightly less strong than Sahih. c) Da’if (weak): Narrations with weak chains of transmission. These categories help scholars determine how reliable a Hadith is when guiding Islamic practice.
