Mustafa Al-Azami
Sahih al-Bukhari is unsurprisingly the most widely recognised book among Muslims after Qur'an. Curious readers of Bukhari's magnum opus are often left with burning questions that lie beyond its contents. Who was Imam Bukhari? How and why did he write the Sahih? How was it transmitted? Are there any reliable extant manuscripts of the work? In this introduction, Dr Mustafa answers these questions in a simple and accessible manner. This translation, alongsider added annotations and appendices, presents and expands al-Azami's research for an English readership, for whom there is a dearth of resources on the subject.
