Hadith is the great wealth of Islamic literature. This is the collection of pearls of wisdom from orations and actions of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him).

There are hundreds of companions of the Prophet who preserved this knowledge through oral transmission. Later tens of scholars spent their lives in searching, recording and refining this treasure. There are more than 14 famous compilations of Hadith out of which six books called Al-Sihah Al-Sittah are on the top of authenticity and popularity. These are: Jame Al Sahih by Imam Bukhari, covering 7274 Hadiths; Jame Al Sahih by Imam Muslim covering 7190 Hadiths; Sunan Abi Dawood by Sulaiman bin Ash'ath covering 4,800 Hadiths; Sunan Abi Majah by Ibn Maajah Rubaii covering 4,000 Hadiths; Jame Al Tirmizi by Abu Eisa Tirmizi and Sunan Al Nasaii by Ahmad bin Shoeb.
