Sahih al-Bukhari — hadith #6987–#7011

The verbatim English translation of each narration. Use the interactive reader for search and themes.

Please read — the two collections are numbered differently. These are the verbatim English translation of each narration — Sahih al-Bukhari via the Muhsin Khan translation, Sahih Muslim via the Abdul Hamid Siddiqui translation.

Sahih al-Bukhari uses the standard numbering. A Bukhari number here is the same narration you will find under that number on sunnah.com or in a printed edition.

Sahih Muslim is different, and this matters. Our Muslim numbers are site reader numbers — a running count through this translation, in which each chain of narration is listed separately. That gives about 7,458 entries where the standard numbering has roughly 3,000. A Sahih Muslim number on this site will not find the same hadith on sunnah.com, and following it there will usually land you on a different narration entirely. To check a Muslim narration elsewhere, search for its wording rather than its number. We state this plainly because a number that looks authoritative and is not is worse than no number at all.

The themes are our own navigational grouping, and these translations are no substitute for study of the Arabic with qualified scholars (see our editorial policy). A small number of entries with no translated text are omitted rather than guessed at.
