It is one of the most valued books in Sunni Islam after the Quran, alongside Sahih al-Bukhari. Sahih Muslim is also one of the six major Sunni collections of hadith of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. It consists of approximately 7,500 hadith narrations across its introduction and 56 books.
Sahih Muslim contains approximately 5,500 - 7,500 hadith narrations in its introduction and 56 books.[1] Kâtip Çelebi (died 1657) and Siddiq Hasan Khan (died 1890) both counted 7,275 narrations. Muhammad Fuad Abdul Baqi wrote that there are 3,033 narrations without considering repetitions.[2] Mashhur ibn Hasan Al Salman, a student of Al-Albani (died 1999), built upon this number, counting 7,385 total narrations, which, combined with the ten in the introduction, add up to a total of 7,395.[2] Muslim wrote an introduction to his collection of hadith, wherein he clarified the reasoning behind choosing the hadith he chose to include in his Sahih.
