I cleaned up the page and added a bit of information. reading this discussion I can see how messed it had gotten to be. But it was in pretty good shape when I arrived.
It seems to me that it should be expanded to at least mention that Shi'ite objections and to explain Melchert's observations about the history of the Sahih. If anyone feels up to either of these tasks please do it without adding any POV. The relationship between al-Bukhari and Muslim should also be noted.

I'd just like to add a comment to both Striver and Zora, that while you guys have been fighting for several pages worth of content (I understand some time has past since but this talk page remains still), that you got into an edit war. Think before you write. Lurk before you leap. And please, if you get into a fight, take a step back and let a THIRD PARTY help you. "Islamic" was trying to do so, I wonder if his help was in vain as I haven't seen him write anything after a while. I hope you can resolve your differences for the good of the page, though. -- 192.75.71.133 ( talk) 18:16, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
I am not an expert on Arabic or Islam, but when you wrote "one of the most famous of its commentary", I think you meant "commentaries". I didn't change it because I wasn't sure. Art LaPella 20:27, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
Striver, you said you failed to find anything in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style that deals with the criticisms I have made about excessive subdivision of articles due to insufficient material. You also asked for a quote. I am happy to oblige (bold emphasis added):
The number of single-sentence paragraphs should be minimized, since these can inhibit the flow of the text. By the same token, paragraphs become hard to read once they exceed a certain length.
Articles generally comprise prose paragraphs, not bullet points; however, sometimes a bulleted list can break up what would otherwise be an overly large, grey mass of text, particularly if the topic requires significant effort on the part of readers. Bulleted lists should not be overused in the main text, but are typical in the reference and reading sections at the bottom.
Headings help to make an article clearer, and comprise the table of contents; see Wikipedia:Section, which users can choose under 'Preferences' to view (the default) or not to view. Headings are hierarchical, so you should start with
== Header ==
and follow it with=== Subheader ===
,==== Subsubheader ====
, and so forth. The 'second-level'== Header ==
is overly large in some browsers, but that can be fixed for individual viewers with a style sheet more easily than a nonhierarchical article structure can be fixed (see help:User style).Just as for paragraphs, sections and subsections that are very short will make the article look cluttered and inhibit the flow. Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheading, and in these circumstances, it may be preferable to use bullet points.
The degree to which subtopics should appear in a single article or be given their own pages is a matter of judgment and of controlling the total length of the article.
Between paragraphs and between sections, there should be only a single blank line. Multiple blank lines unnecessarily lengthen the article and can make it more difficult to read.
I hope you will now please reconsider your fondness for subdivision in articles whose length does not support it. -- AladdinSE 01:19, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
Non-muslimz have to follow the guidelines given here I happened across this article. It was a jumbled mess. I've straightened it out as best I can. I also added some perspective on how much Sahih Bukhari is to be trusted. It is my current understanding that the ulema and the Salafis do not see eye to eye on this. I need to get some references for that.
Probably still needs a lot of work, but this is a good first approximation. Zora 11:46, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Striver, all you did was revert. I think my version treated the Shi'a quite fairly, and explained why they didn't trust many Sunni hadith. Also, if you're going to revert, you need to mark it as a revert. Zora 13:30, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Striver, "collected" means written down. There is NO EVIDENCE that anything was written down before the Abbasids. Something that is passed on orally for 150 years is not considered in any way "fixed" until the date that it is written in a form that can't be altered by later transmitters. (This is actually a problem with the manuscripts too, since later copies of supposedly early manuscripts may have been altered; the Muwatta is supposed to be much later, in places, than the ostensible date of first composition.)
Your take on academics and non-Muslims is bizarre. Only a very few non-Muslims are academics. Some academics are Muslims, but if they participate in the Western academic tradition, they have to play by those rules, which mandate non-supernaturalist explanations. Very few Muslims have been willing to do so. There is a near-total lack of overlap between the Muslim scholarly tradition (which has been effectively moribund for 1000 years) and the Western academic tradition -- which is becoming increasingly international.
I fixed the article. You mangled it again. I will revisit it in a day or so, when I'm less irritated. I can take out the ablutions stuff -- I left it there in deference to other editors. Zora 11:23, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
"
I removed most of the Shi'a-centric material. It is sufficient to note that Shi'a don't trust Bukhari; it is not necessary to include an exposition of the full Shi'a position on hadith in general. I also reorganized.
Islami, your para was completely unsourced. We can't just state contentious matters as true. However, we can say that "X believes Y" and give a citation. You need to give us the X and the citation. Zora 02:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
My para is a translation from the Arabic version of this page. The source for the dates is also mentioned in a book by Shaikh Abdul Fattah Abu Ghidda, regarding the name of Sahih Bukhari. The acceptance of his book by major scholars had been narrated by almost every book about this subject, including Abu Ghidda's one.-- Islamic 04:28, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Unaccaptable. Zora, you included a long rant about " what is a hadith, generaly", but instead removed the more specific details of the Shi'a view of this hadith collection. Then, you also moved the Sunni view of Bukhari into the non-disputed section. Also, you removed the content, and also other issues. This is unaccaptable. You did do some good edits, and some of that should be keept, but im tired of cleaning up after you. Re-insert what you need to do, but stop unitarliy overhauling the article. The last time you did that, i took time to make a third vesion that included both our edits, now im not going to bother, its just a plain revert. You are utterly respectles towards other peoples work when deleting entire sections such as the content section. Stop that. -- Striver 09:59, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Zora, there is no such thing as a "Hadith from Bukhari that Shi'a like". Further, If you belive the Shi'a pov is geting undue weight, then to the wiki thing and break it out, dont delete it. -- Striver 10:31, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Further, 6/31 lines, excluding references, the list, see also and external links is not undue weight. -- Striver 10:33, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
And regarding the list, 6 of the hadith are viewed as objectionable by Shi'as or are used by Sunnis, and many more hadith are neutral, so the list is not a "Shi'a list" -- Striver 10:35, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, you are correct in one sense, that Shi'a take notice of all Hadith that Sunni use to bolster their claims, but that does not make them "Shi'a hadith", the Umar hadith are never refered to by Shi'as, exept to refute them. Those are explicitly Sunni hadith, Shi'a rejecting them and thuse showing intrest does not make them "Shi'a hadith" and does not make the list a "All Shi'a hadith collection" - Your logic is fundamentaly flawed, using you logic, there exist nothing exept Shi'a hadith.
Again is your Shi'a view of Bukhari hadith flawed. You put in a large chunk from the Hadith article into this article, but refuse to include the parts that are concerned with the Shi'a view. That is totaly unfair, specialy when you remove reference to what Shi'a trust instead and also remove reference to in what particular part was Bukhari biased, specificly the hadith mentioned that are ommited. You can not ommit what Shi'a trust instead and also what we specificaly hold against Bukhari.
Further, it is unacaptable that while you reject the Shi'a the opurtunity to expres their view since "it is already in the Hadith article" (while giving a long duplicate from the "Hadith" article), you put Sunni view of Bukhari in the main space, and only mention what non-Muslims think about that, without event mentioning what the Shi'a view about that! Totaly unaccaptable. Keep the Sunni view in the Sunni view, and let the Shi'a have their six puny lines.-- Striver 14:50, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Dont compate the amount of lines in my prefered version to the amount of lines in your prefered version, that is missleading. And you know that. -- Striver 16:10, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
You've made a list of the hadith that Striver finds notable. This is pure personal opinion. There are many thousands of hadith in Bukhari, and different scholars, and different laypeople, may find different sets of hadith worthy of attention. If someone is notable, and his/her fave hadiths are of interest, we could possibly put a list in the article dedicated to that person. You aren't notable, you don't have an article, and your fave hadiths do not deserve star billing. Zora 01:23, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Stop it will you! That is non-sense, according to that logic, we can never link to the hadith untill all hadith have articles, and that is non-sense. If you feel there is a unbalance since a hadith or two is missing, then add them and stop adding non-sense arguements. -- Striver 16:11, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Islami, I removed the dates you gave -- they didn't mean anything, so far as I could tell. Were they death dates? Moreover, giving dates in Hijri rather than Gregorian is not at all useful to 99% of this encyclopedia's users. One solution is to give two dates, the Gregorian followed by the Hijri. For reliable conversion from Hijri to Gregorian, we need a day and month as well as a year; one Hijri year can span two Gregorian years.
I will also point out that so far as I can tell from reading the Melchert article I referenced, and comparing his references to yours, he's got the right of it. All your references are contemporary pious assessments of Bukhari that seem to be based on tradition rather than sound historical research. Contemporary historical research starts with finding the earliest surviving manuscript, and then checking other works from the same or earlier periods (either published or in manuscript) to see if there are any references to earlier versions of the work that haven't survived. According to Melchert,
Against your account of crowds gathering to hear Bukhari, and eminent scholars recognizing his worth, we have manuscript evidence showing that he was at first ignored.
I'm not going to put this in the article. Anyone who is interested in pursuing the question would do better to go to the academic sources. But I just want you to consider that you might not know things that you think you know. (Actually that's true of all of us, me too. Who knows how many of the things I think I know are going to be jokes to future generations?) Zora 04:26, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Zora, stop reverting with totaly missleading summaries like "rv to non-Shi'a centric version". -- Striver 23:30, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
12 neutral rows + 15 Sunni rows + 6 (six!) Shi'a rows + 11 non-Muslim rows does NOT make a Shi'a centric article. You still have not explained H-O-W the list is Shi'a centric, just came with the undefendable notion that this article should not link to article about hadith. -- Striver 23:43, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
What is N-O-T fair is your version, it moves the Sunni view to the main space, and then adds a non-Muslim rebutal to it, also in main space. THEN it compares the remaining Sunni view to the entire Shi'a view and concludes that the Shi'a have gotten a good deal. That is not fair. -- Striver 23:51, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Editors more familiar with the topic try to edit Striver, but he reverts, claiming "vandalism". Zora 19:26, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
The only "Editors more familiar" here is you, and i did add everything relevant you wanted to add - it is your sectioning (mixing Sunni and non-Muslim pov in main space) and omittions (deleting 4 out of 6 Shi'a lines claiming undue weight, and removing the contents) that i do not find motivated. -- Striver 19:32, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Yes, you put the Sunni pov in the main article. More specificaly in the "Bukhari's collection today". Then, on top of having the Sunni pov in the main space, you added only a Sunni section, you did'nt even bother to create a "Shi'a" and a "non-Muslim" section, you just bundled them together. You did not even mention that the Shi'a have their own version of "most trusted" hadith, you did not mention that Shi'a hold againt him that he did not add the hadith of thaqalayn, you did not mention that Shi'a hold againt him that he added hadith that are view as directly despicable. And then, on top of that, you maid the non-Muslim part of the "Other views of Bukhari's collection" twice as big. Is that fair? No. Further, not even the Sunni editor was satisfied with your edit: [1]. Do note that the Sunni editor used my words when he corrected your edit, proving that i do not write in a "Shi'a centric" maner, if i did, the Sunni editor would not have used my text.
Regarding "the names attributed to the hadiths seem to be the ones given by Shi'a", what hadith seems to be in that maner? please be specific. -- Striver 20:20, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Ok, lets try to be constructive. Except for the hadith links, what else would you like to have in the article now, that is not there already? I belive i added everything you wanted there, did i miss anything? Or is your only complaint that the Shi'a should only get 2 lines and not 6? -- Striver 20:49, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Ok, lets talk about the hadith.
You do the following claims:
Since you refuse to narrow down your allegations, ill do it for you: Lets disscuse the Hadith of the pen and paper. In that article, you will he this link, with this text "The shia claim that Hazrat Omar(R.A) went against the wishes of the Prohpet(saw) when the pen and paper was called for, i am refering to the hadith in Sahih Buhari which you will be familiar with". As you see, the key words are "pen and paper", and they are definitly Sunnis. But for you information i also dug out this: "Regarding Omar's Refusal to Give the Prophet a Pen to Write his Will!!!", again the same key words, and again Sunnis. And look here to: "THE TRUTH ABOUT THE PEN AND PAPER INCIDENT: A REPLY TO ANSWERING-ANSAR'S ARTICLE.", same key words, still Sunnis.
So, three Sunni sources identifying the hadith with "pan and paper". Still calling it a Shi'a centric name?
You continue.
My motives are irrelevant, anyone is free to pick any hadith he/she wants and creat a article about it, providing its a notable hadith. The list links to all hadith articles in wikipedia, if you feel any particular hadith is lacking, please do wikipedia a favor and add it, instead of complaining. Now that it is clear, i will tell you why i picked those hadith:
For starters, it was Zereshk that enumerated and quoted a set of Shi'a hadith. Since the Shi'a article was geting a bit large, i broke them out and gave them a article each. Then it was logical to have a "list of hadith". Of course you afd'd it, and it failed. Now that there was a list, i felt that i needed to make the article balanced, so i picked some Sunni hadith that gave merits for the Sunni Caliphs:
(note: all above hadith are pure pro sunni, Shi'a reject them, created by me to give balance)
And it whent well, now there are both Shi'a and Sunni hadith, the list is balanced. While writing about some other topics, some other hadith came to mind, like the
Those where created since they came to mind while working on other articles. And then, some hadith where in some articles, and i broke them out and gave them their own article, hadith such as:
One was not even created by me
Now, if you think some hadith is lacking, then please add it, stop please complaining. I try constantly to include pure pro Sunni hadith, just hoping that one day i wont need to hear "im Shi'a centric", for example, i created Hadith of Abu Bakr's superior faith some days ago.
Then you write:
well, if you actualy bothered to read the hadith articles, you would understand why that is false. But ill save you some time and ill copy paste the "external link" section of the Hadith of the pen and paper:
Shi'a:
Sunni:
I hope i wont need to hear "You've given no evidence that anyone besides yourself regards those hadith as particularly notable." anytime soon, and i hope we are done regarding the hadith lists.
Then you wrote:
What line are you refering to, specificaly? -- Striver 23:55, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Striver, you are the one who decided to make articles for separate hadith and you are the one working on those articles. No one else thinks that this is a good idea. Both you and Zereshk chose to highlight hadith cited by Shi'a when arguing with Sunnis. Your choices had a polemic purpose. By linking to those hadith, you are propagandizing for your POV. Why those? Why not hadith about salat? Wudu? Hijab? Wife-beating? Dogs?
The only sane way to treat hadith is to cite specific hadith when it's necessary. Several translations should be given if possible, as the MSA was translated by Salafis. Zora 01:20, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I took a look at your edits, and its not bad, we are geting closer to a agreed version, ill coment more later. I dont agree on the hadith, but i wont revert that part yet. -- Striver 07:28, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I added a bit more, added a specific hadith to the SHi'a view, but i endore your other trimings of it, i also added a Sunni view comment, and then re-added the content section. -- Striver 07:45, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
"at least seventy full commentaries have been written on Imam al-Bukhari’s great Sahih" [5] -- Striver 21:45, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
I modified the "view" section, it is rediculous to have a views section when this place is called an encyclopedia so as such it should follow the same format and not a discussion or polemics between differing groups. If shia have an issue with Sahih Bukhari they should mention it in there own pages not on the page solely dedicated to Imam Bukhari ie a sunni page.-- Rami.b 08:03, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
From my discussion with many shia it is clear that a word has one meaning in sunni islam but may mean something different in shia islam, it is only after 1900's that the two worlds have mixed and this mix up in vocabulary and knowing what the other really means has only come up now, prior to that both lived in different worlds almost.-- Rami.b 08:10, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
just added an article about him, i know what wiki says about articles and such but it is better than what is there at present, so until a real scholar comes along and directly quotes material from what he has read i dont see anything wrong with this for the time being. to many muslims come to this site and read the fitnah that is present here and believe it as true simply becouse it is a popular site. if i can edit this page so can anyone else and that is saying a lot!-- Rami.b 08:26, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Looks like I missed a good deal of argumentation. I would like to say I find perhaps more than half of the External Links unnecessary as they link to hadith-a-day type sites and lectures and what not. This page seems to have become a bulletin board for advertisements. Acceptable links, in my opinion, would be: one link to an on-line translation, another to the original in Arabic, a link to site with in-depth information regarding the Sahih and so on. All in favor say: "Aye!" Supertouch ( talk) 18:53, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
so, this entire page is incredibly biased. i thought wikipedia was supposed to be a neutral source... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.226.106.21 ( talk) 16:14, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
It should be explicitly stated that Shias do not consider everything in Bukhari to be authentic. Right now its says "most Muslims" consider it to be authentic, but this seems a bit misleading. It should explicitly state Shias dispute this, as well as a minority group of non-mainstream Sunni intellectuals.
69.235.21.24 ( talk) 01:27, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
I have removed the section regarding textual distortion yet again. My rationale for doing so is supported by a number of Wikipedia policies. First, wp:sources: the website cited as the basis for this section, [www.al-islam.org] is clearly a Shia propaganda site which even devoid of this bias would hardly be reliable. Second, wp:undue: this article is about the book Sahih al-Bukhari itself not its translation which had not been mentioned prior to the addition of this section. This section would at most be worthy of a sentence in the event that it followed mention of the translation (and was based upon sound sources). Third, wp:neutrality: this section clearly violates Wikipedia's policy of neutrality. Please do not re-add this section.-- Supertouch ( talk) 01:20, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
I found something more: The famous Sunni scholar Amin Ahsan Islahi has the following view about distortion:: [1]
As it can be seen, the situation of my text is in agreement with this great Sunni scholar idea.-- Aliwiki ( talk) 11:56, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
Kindly send any comments or suggestions about this site, or any factual information on cases of tahrif known to you, to the Shi'a Encyclopedia team of the Ahlul Bayt DILP.
...I am a new revert. I converted around a year ago. recently i have chosen to follow the shia imamate sect... As far as if answering-ansar.org helped me? Ofcourse it did.
In addition to the the sites' POV nature, they are simply not reliable to begin with. To quote the relevant guideline, WP:SPS:
Anyone can create a website or pay to have a book published, then claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason self-published media—including but not limited to books, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, personal or group blogs, Internet forum postings, and tweets—are largely not acceptable.
A translation of al-Bukhari into English written by Muhammad Muhsin Khan has been criticized for its inaccuracies.[1]
I see you added it anyway. It doesn't belong in the lead of the article, so I made it its own section. And again, per the discussion on RSN, Answering Ansar is not a reliable source. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 14:44, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
Right now there is *one* external link which links to a website that has been down for a while. I propose putting up a single link http://sunnah.com/bukhari instead, which links to a single website with both the original Arabic and the most popular translation (by Muhammad Muhsin Khan). Incidentally, both sunnah.com and CMJE use the same translation, except that the version on sunnah.com has cleaned up many of the typos, added a lot of missing hadith and has the correct reference numbers for each hadith. In response to Zora who removed the link when I added it, sunnah.com is a site for hadith translations; it is not a "religious" or preaching website. Mansari.uw ( talk) 21:20, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
Sorry, I've been distracted by major surgery. I accept your arguments. Your link will do until someone finds a link to a hadith site that is academic and non-sectarian. That's important to me, as a scholar. If someone is translating an old Islamic text, I want to trust the translator. I want to know that he or she is being as truthful as possible to the original, rather than twisting the words so that they support a current sect or political party or whatever. The site you're linking is an explicitly religious site, and that makes me, a non-Muslim, uncomfortable. I don't completely trust it. I should do some research on alternative hadith sites, but at the moment -- not only recovering from surgery, but editing a paper for a Chinese scientist. So, busy. Zora ( talk) 22:39, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
As a devout Muslim, we should express our outrage against "SHARIA HARAM LAWS", which are based on false/ fabricated hadiths attributed to a fictional character named Bukhari.
Since the spread of false hadiths of Bukhari by Jewish scribes to make Islam become a foolish religion devoid of any characteristics desired by Allah in Quran, Islam has declined in this world. No more contributions to science and mathematics since past 600 years Muslims led astray by mullahs with fake hadiths.
If being a suicide bomber was way to heaven, the mullah would be knocking over everyone to get to the front of the line to die--- but they brainwash the illiterate fools to die and go straight to hell. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.37.189.70 ( talk) 20:14, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
It should be noted that the original manuscript of Sahih al Bukhari DOES NOT EXIST, and that the compilation we have today is from the 14th century Mamluk imam al Yunini.
The German Wikipedia article about al Bukhari DOES mention this, and I think this is very, very, very (I can't stress it even more), VERY important information which should be stated, especially on the English version of the article. It could be placed under the heading 'authenticity'.
Greetings! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Axatoramus ( talk • contribs) 00:20, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
I am wondering if someone could tell me what this contains and if it might be the basis for a section in the Islamic sexual jurisprudence article. If any notable commentators have written about it. -- 174.92.135.167 ( talk) 08:50, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Sahih al-Bukhari/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
It doesn't make any sense to have the article rated as low on the importance scale. This is about the most important text of Hadith for a huge section of Muslims, it is of very high importance. Aslamt 04:23, 17 January 2007 (UTC) |

Hello,
This article is not too bad but I see a few suggestions:
- The second last paragraph of the Overview section states "Each version is named by its narrator." and "The most famous one today is the version narrated by al-Firabri (d. 932 CE/320 AH)" - What does it mean that versions were "narrated"? Does it mean that the volume was not actually written down by Bukhari, but only later by other persons? Please clarify the meaning of this passage.
- We need to include a brief explanation of the Shi'a view of this collection.
- We really, really need some secular historian's / irreligious scholars' views on the reliability of Sahih Bukhari! The article is currently really unbalanced, featuring exclusively the orthodox Sunni view. There should also be a mention of things like the oldest extant manuscript.
- In the "Authenticity" section, there are currently several quotes of praise from names that would be totally obscure to anyone but a fiqh expert. Can we not trim that down in favour of a more general statement along the lines of "Uninterruptedly since medieval times, Sunni scholars of Islamic jurisprudence have held Sahih Bukhari to be the most reliable source after the Qur'an", and back it up by quoting modern academics?
Thank you all! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.183.72.244 ( talk) 17:36, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Dr Mohamed Zuhdi Jasser, with reference to Mohammad Tawhidi, said "I’m with him, not in condemning it in its entirety, but in condemning the vast majority of the Sahih al-Bukhari, which we believe is the origin of many of the radical interpretations in Sunni Islam." This article would benefit from a "criticism" section not dealing with criticism of historical sources but of the document itself, especially coming from Muslims. Just as there is an article " Criticism of the Bible" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.153.0.251 ( talk) 18:18, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

I cleaned up the page and added a bit of information. reading this discussion I can see how messed it had gotten to be. But it was in pretty good shape when I arrived.
It seems to me that it should be expanded to at least mention that Shi'ite objections and to explain Melchert's observations about the history of the Sahih. If anyone feels up to either of these tasks please do it without adding any POV. The relationship between al-Bukhari and Muslim should also be noted.

I'd just like to add a comment to both Striver and Zora, that while you guys have been fighting for several pages worth of content (I understand some time has past since but this talk page remains still), that you got into an edit war. Think before you write. Lurk before you leap. And please, if you get into a fight, take a step back and let a THIRD PARTY help you. "Islamic" was trying to do so, I wonder if his help was in vain as I haven't seen him write anything after a while. I hope you can resolve your differences for the good of the page, though. -- 192.75.71.133 ( talk) 18:16, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
I am not an expert on Arabic or Islam, but when you wrote "one of the most famous of its commentary", I think you meant "commentaries". I didn't change it because I wasn't sure. Art LaPella 20:27, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
Striver, you said you failed to find anything in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style that deals with the criticisms I have made about excessive subdivision of articles due to insufficient material. You also asked for a quote. I am happy to oblige (bold emphasis added):
The number of single-sentence paragraphs should be minimized, since these can inhibit the flow of the text. By the same token, paragraphs become hard to read once they exceed a certain length.
Articles generally comprise prose paragraphs, not bullet points; however, sometimes a bulleted list can break up what would otherwise be an overly large, grey mass of text, particularly if the topic requires significant effort on the part of readers. Bulleted lists should not be overused in the main text, but are typical in the reference and reading sections at the bottom.
Headings help to make an article clearer, and comprise the table of contents; see Wikipedia:Section, which users can choose under 'Preferences' to view (the default) or not to view. Headings are hierarchical, so you should start with
== Header ==
and follow it with=== Subheader ===
,==== Subsubheader ====
, and so forth. The 'second-level'== Header ==
is overly large in some browsers, but that can be fixed for individual viewers with a style sheet more easily than a nonhierarchical article structure can be fixed (see help:User style).Just as for paragraphs, sections and subsections that are very short will make the article look cluttered and inhibit the flow. Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheading, and in these circumstances, it may be preferable to use bullet points.
The degree to which subtopics should appear in a single article or be given their own pages is a matter of judgment and of controlling the total length of the article.
Between paragraphs and between sections, there should be only a single blank line. Multiple blank lines unnecessarily lengthen the article and can make it more difficult to read.
I hope you will now please reconsider your fondness for subdivision in articles whose length does not support it. -- AladdinSE 01:19, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
Non-muslimz have to follow the guidelines given here I happened across this article. It was a jumbled mess. I've straightened it out as best I can. I also added some perspective on how much Sahih Bukhari is to be trusted. It is my current understanding that the ulema and the Salafis do not see eye to eye on this. I need to get some references for that.
Probably still needs a lot of work, but this is a good first approximation. Zora 11:46, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Striver, all you did was revert. I think my version treated the Shi'a quite fairly, and explained why they didn't trust many Sunni hadith. Also, if you're going to revert, you need to mark it as a revert. Zora 13:30, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Striver, "collected" means written down. There is NO EVIDENCE that anything was written down before the Abbasids. Something that is passed on orally for 150 years is not considered in any way "fixed" until the date that it is written in a form that can't be altered by later transmitters. (This is actually a problem with the manuscripts too, since later copies of supposedly early manuscripts may have been altered; the Muwatta is supposed to be much later, in places, than the ostensible date of first composition.)
Your take on academics and non-Muslims is bizarre. Only a very few non-Muslims are academics. Some academics are Muslims, but if they participate in the Western academic tradition, they have to play by those rules, which mandate non-supernaturalist explanations. Very few Muslims have been willing to do so. There is a near-total lack of overlap between the Muslim scholarly tradition (which has been effectively moribund for 1000 years) and the Western academic tradition -- which is becoming increasingly international.
I fixed the article. You mangled it again. I will revisit it in a day or so, when I'm less irritated. I can take out the ablutions stuff -- I left it there in deference to other editors. Zora 11:23, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
"
I removed most of the Shi'a-centric material. It is sufficient to note that Shi'a don't trust Bukhari; it is not necessary to include an exposition of the full Shi'a position on hadith in general. I also reorganized.
Islami, your para was completely unsourced. We can't just state contentious matters as true. However, we can say that "X believes Y" and give a citation. You need to give us the X and the citation. Zora 02:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
My para is a translation from the Arabic version of this page. The source for the dates is also mentioned in a book by Shaikh Abdul Fattah Abu Ghidda, regarding the name of Sahih Bukhari. The acceptance of his book by major scholars had been narrated by almost every book about this subject, including Abu Ghidda's one.-- Islamic 04:28, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Unaccaptable. Zora, you included a long rant about " what is a hadith, generaly", but instead removed the more specific details of the Shi'a view of this hadith collection. Then, you also moved the Sunni view of Bukhari into the non-disputed section. Also, you removed the content, and also other issues. This is unaccaptable. You did do some good edits, and some of that should be keept, but im tired of cleaning up after you. Re-insert what you need to do, but stop unitarliy overhauling the article. The last time you did that, i took time to make a third vesion that included both our edits, now im not going to bother, its just a plain revert. You are utterly respectles towards other peoples work when deleting entire sections such as the content section. Stop that. -- Striver 09:59, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Zora, there is no such thing as a "Hadith from Bukhari that Shi'a like". Further, If you belive the Shi'a pov is geting undue weight, then to the wiki thing and break it out, dont delete it. -- Striver 10:31, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Further, 6/31 lines, excluding references, the list, see also and external links is not undue weight. -- Striver 10:33, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
And regarding the list, 6 of the hadith are viewed as objectionable by Shi'as or are used by Sunnis, and many more hadith are neutral, so the list is not a "Shi'a list" -- Striver 10:35, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, you are correct in one sense, that Shi'a take notice of all Hadith that Sunni use to bolster their claims, but that does not make them "Shi'a hadith", the Umar hadith are never refered to by Shi'as, exept to refute them. Those are explicitly Sunni hadith, Shi'a rejecting them and thuse showing intrest does not make them "Shi'a hadith" and does not make the list a "All Shi'a hadith collection" - Your logic is fundamentaly flawed, using you logic, there exist nothing exept Shi'a hadith.
Again is your Shi'a view of Bukhari hadith flawed. You put in a large chunk from the Hadith article into this article, but refuse to include the parts that are concerned with the Shi'a view. That is totaly unfair, specialy when you remove reference to what Shi'a trust instead and also remove reference to in what particular part was Bukhari biased, specificly the hadith mentioned that are ommited. You can not ommit what Shi'a trust instead and also what we specificaly hold against Bukhari.
Further, it is unacaptable that while you reject the Shi'a the opurtunity to expres their view since "it is already in the Hadith article" (while giving a long duplicate from the "Hadith" article), you put Sunni view of Bukhari in the main space, and only mention what non-Muslims think about that, without event mentioning what the Shi'a view about that! Totaly unaccaptable. Keep the Sunni view in the Sunni view, and let the Shi'a have their six puny lines.-- Striver 14:50, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Dont compate the amount of lines in my prefered version to the amount of lines in your prefered version, that is missleading. And you know that. -- Striver 16:10, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
You've made a list of the hadith that Striver finds notable. This is pure personal opinion. There are many thousands of hadith in Bukhari, and different scholars, and different laypeople, may find different sets of hadith worthy of attention. If someone is notable, and his/her fave hadiths are of interest, we could possibly put a list in the article dedicated to that person. You aren't notable, you don't have an article, and your fave hadiths do not deserve star billing. Zora 01:23, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Stop it will you! That is non-sense, according to that logic, we can never link to the hadith untill all hadith have articles, and that is non-sense. If you feel there is a unbalance since a hadith or two is missing, then add them and stop adding non-sense arguements. -- Striver 16:11, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Islami, I removed the dates you gave -- they didn't mean anything, so far as I could tell. Were they death dates? Moreover, giving dates in Hijri rather than Gregorian is not at all useful to 99% of this encyclopedia's users. One solution is to give two dates, the Gregorian followed by the Hijri. For reliable conversion from Hijri to Gregorian, we need a day and month as well as a year; one Hijri year can span two Gregorian years.
I will also point out that so far as I can tell from reading the Melchert article I referenced, and comparing his references to yours, he's got the right of it. All your references are contemporary pious assessments of Bukhari that seem to be based on tradition rather than sound historical research. Contemporary historical research starts with finding the earliest surviving manuscript, and then checking other works from the same or earlier periods (either published or in manuscript) to see if there are any references to earlier versions of the work that haven't survived. According to Melchert,
Against your account of crowds gathering to hear Bukhari, and eminent scholars recognizing his worth, we have manuscript evidence showing that he was at first ignored.
I'm not going to put this in the article. Anyone who is interested in pursuing the question would do better to go to the academic sources. But I just want you to consider that you might not know things that you think you know. (Actually that's true of all of us, me too. Who knows how many of the things I think I know are going to be jokes to future generations?) Zora 04:26, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Zora, stop reverting with totaly missleading summaries like "rv to non-Shi'a centric version". -- Striver 23:30, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
12 neutral rows + 15 Sunni rows + 6 (six!) Shi'a rows + 11 non-Muslim rows does NOT make a Shi'a centric article. You still have not explained H-O-W the list is Shi'a centric, just came with the undefendable notion that this article should not link to article about hadith. -- Striver 23:43, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
What is N-O-T fair is your version, it moves the Sunni view to the main space, and then adds a non-Muslim rebutal to it, also in main space. THEN it compares the remaining Sunni view to the entire Shi'a view and concludes that the Shi'a have gotten a good deal. That is not fair. -- Striver 23:51, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Editors more familiar with the topic try to edit Striver, but he reverts, claiming "vandalism". Zora 19:26, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
The only "Editors more familiar" here is you, and i did add everything relevant you wanted to add - it is your sectioning (mixing Sunni and non-Muslim pov in main space) and omittions (deleting 4 out of 6 Shi'a lines claiming undue weight, and removing the contents) that i do not find motivated. -- Striver 19:32, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Yes, you put the Sunni pov in the main article. More specificaly in the "Bukhari's collection today". Then, on top of having the Sunni pov in the main space, you added only a Sunni section, you did'nt even bother to create a "Shi'a" and a "non-Muslim" section, you just bundled them together. You did not even mention that the Shi'a have their own version of "most trusted" hadith, you did not mention that Shi'a hold againt him that he did not add the hadith of thaqalayn, you did not mention that Shi'a hold againt him that he added hadith that are view as directly despicable. And then, on top of that, you maid the non-Muslim part of the "Other views of Bukhari's collection" twice as big. Is that fair? No. Further, not even the Sunni editor was satisfied with your edit: [1]. Do note that the Sunni editor used my words when he corrected your edit, proving that i do not write in a "Shi'a centric" maner, if i did, the Sunni editor would not have used my text.
Regarding "the names attributed to the hadiths seem to be the ones given by Shi'a", what hadith seems to be in that maner? please be specific. -- Striver 20:20, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Ok, lets try to be constructive. Except for the hadith links, what else would you like to have in the article now, that is not there already? I belive i added everything you wanted there, did i miss anything? Or is your only complaint that the Shi'a should only get 2 lines and not 6? -- Striver 20:49, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Ok, lets talk about the hadith.
You do the following claims:
Since you refuse to narrow down your allegations, ill do it for you: Lets disscuse the Hadith of the pen and paper. In that article, you will he this link, with this text "The shia claim that Hazrat Omar(R.A) went against the wishes of the Prohpet(saw) when the pen and paper was called for, i am refering to the hadith in Sahih Buhari which you will be familiar with". As you see, the key words are "pen and paper", and they are definitly Sunnis. But for you information i also dug out this: "Regarding Omar's Refusal to Give the Prophet a Pen to Write his Will!!!", again the same key words, and again Sunnis. And look here to: "THE TRUTH ABOUT THE PEN AND PAPER INCIDENT: A REPLY TO ANSWERING-ANSAR'S ARTICLE.", same key words, still Sunnis.
So, three Sunni sources identifying the hadith with "pan and paper". Still calling it a Shi'a centric name?
You continue.
My motives are irrelevant, anyone is free to pick any hadith he/she wants and creat a article about it, providing its a notable hadith. The list links to all hadith articles in wikipedia, if you feel any particular hadith is lacking, please do wikipedia a favor and add it, instead of complaining. Now that it is clear, i will tell you why i picked those hadith:
For starters, it was Zereshk that enumerated and quoted a set of Shi'a hadith. Since the Shi'a article was geting a bit large, i broke them out and gave them a article each. Then it was logical to have a "list of hadith". Of course you afd'd it, and it failed. Now that there was a list, i felt that i needed to make the article balanced, so i picked some Sunni hadith that gave merits for the Sunni Caliphs:
(note: all above hadith are pure pro sunni, Shi'a reject them, created by me to give balance)
And it whent well, now there are both Shi'a and Sunni hadith, the list is balanced. While writing about some other topics, some other hadith came to mind, like the
Those where created since they came to mind while working on other articles. And then, some hadith where in some articles, and i broke them out and gave them their own article, hadith such as:
One was not even created by me
Now, if you think some hadith is lacking, then please add it, stop please complaining. I try constantly to include pure pro Sunni hadith, just hoping that one day i wont need to hear "im Shi'a centric", for example, i created Hadith of Abu Bakr's superior faith some days ago.
Then you write:
well, if you actualy bothered to read the hadith articles, you would understand why that is false. But ill save you some time and ill copy paste the "external link" section of the Hadith of the pen and paper:
Shi'a:
Sunni:
I hope i wont need to hear "You've given no evidence that anyone besides yourself regards those hadith as particularly notable." anytime soon, and i hope we are done regarding the hadith lists.
Then you wrote:
What line are you refering to, specificaly? -- Striver 23:55, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Striver, you are the one who decided to make articles for separate hadith and you are the one working on those articles. No one else thinks that this is a good idea. Both you and Zereshk chose to highlight hadith cited by Shi'a when arguing with Sunnis. Your choices had a polemic purpose. By linking to those hadith, you are propagandizing for your POV. Why those? Why not hadith about salat? Wudu? Hijab? Wife-beating? Dogs?
The only sane way to treat hadith is to cite specific hadith when it's necessary. Several translations should be given if possible, as the MSA was translated by Salafis. Zora 01:20, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I took a look at your edits, and its not bad, we are geting closer to a agreed version, ill coment more later. I dont agree on the hadith, but i wont revert that part yet. -- Striver 07:28, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I added a bit more, added a specific hadith to the SHi'a view, but i endore your other trimings of it, i also added a Sunni view comment, and then re-added the content section. -- Striver 07:45, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
"at least seventy full commentaries have been written on Imam al-Bukhari’s great Sahih" [5] -- Striver 21:45, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
I modified the "view" section, it is rediculous to have a views section when this place is called an encyclopedia so as such it should follow the same format and not a discussion or polemics between differing groups. If shia have an issue with Sahih Bukhari they should mention it in there own pages not on the page solely dedicated to Imam Bukhari ie a sunni page.-- Rami.b 08:03, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
From my discussion with many shia it is clear that a word has one meaning in sunni islam but may mean something different in shia islam, it is only after 1900's that the two worlds have mixed and this mix up in vocabulary and knowing what the other really means has only come up now, prior to that both lived in different worlds almost.-- Rami.b 08:10, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
just added an article about him, i know what wiki says about articles and such but it is better than what is there at present, so until a real scholar comes along and directly quotes material from what he has read i dont see anything wrong with this for the time being. to many muslims come to this site and read the fitnah that is present here and believe it as true simply becouse it is a popular site. if i can edit this page so can anyone else and that is saying a lot!-- Rami.b 08:26, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Looks like I missed a good deal of argumentation. I would like to say I find perhaps more than half of the External Links unnecessary as they link to hadith-a-day type sites and lectures and what not. This page seems to have become a bulletin board for advertisements. Acceptable links, in my opinion, would be: one link to an on-line translation, another to the original in Arabic, a link to site with in-depth information regarding the Sahih and so on. All in favor say: "Aye!" Supertouch ( talk) 18:53, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

It should be explicitly stated that Shias do not consider everything in Bukhari to be authentic. Right now its says "most Muslims" consider it to be authentic, but this seems a bit misleading. It should explicitly state Shias dispute this, as well as a minority group of non-mainstream Sunni intellectuals.

I have removed the section regarding textual distortion yet again. My rationale for doing so is supported by a number of Wikipedia policies. First, wp:sources: the website cited as the basis for this section, [www.al-islam.org] is clearly a Shia propaganda site which even devoid of this bias would hardly be reliable. Second, wp:undue: this article is about the book Sahih al-Bukhari itself not its translation which had not been mentioned prior to the addition of this section. This section would at most be worthy of a sentence in the event that it followed mention of the translation (and was based upon sound sources). Third, wp:neutrality: this section clearly violates Wikipedia's policy of neutrality. Please do not re-add this section.-- Supertouch ( talk) 01:20, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Kindly send any comments or suggestions about this site, or any factual information on cases of tahrif known to you, to the Shi'a Encyclopedia team of the Ahlul Bayt DILP.
...I am a new revert. I converted around a year ago. recently i have chosen to follow the shia imamate sect... As far as if answering-ansar.org helped me? Ofcourse it did.
In addition to the the sites' POV nature, they are simply not reliable to begin with. To quote the relevant guideline, WP:SPS:
Anyone can create a website or pay to have a book published, then claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason self-published media—including but not limited to books, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, personal or group blogs, Internet forum postings, and tweets—are largely not acceptable.
A translation of al-Bukhari into English written by Muhammad Muhsin Khan has been criticized for its inaccuracies.[1]
I see you added it anyway. It doesn't belong in the lead of the article, so I made it its own section. And again, per the discussion on RSN, Answering Ansar is not a reliable source. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 14:44, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
Right now there is *one* external link which links to a website that has been down for a while. I propose putting up a single link http://sunnah.com/bukhari instead, which links to a single website with both the original Arabic and the most popular translation (by Muhammad Muhsin Khan). Incidentally, both sunnah.com and CMJE use the same translation, except that the version on sunnah.com has cleaned up many of the typos, added a lot of missing hadith and has the correct reference numbers for each hadith. In response to Zora who removed the link when I added it, sunnah.com is a site for hadith translations; it is not a "religious" or preaching website. Mansari.uw ( talk) 21:20, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
Sorry, I've been distracted by major surgery. I accept your arguments. Your link will do until someone finds a link to a hadith site that is academic and non-sectarian. That's important to me, as a scholar. If someone is translating an old Islamic text, I want to trust the translator. I want to know that he or she is being as truthful as possible to the original, rather than twisting the words so that they support a current sect or political party or whatever. The site you're linking is an explicitly religious site, and that makes me, a non-Muslim, uncomfortable. I don't completely trust it. I should do some research on alternative hadith sites, but at the moment -- not only recovering from surgery, but editing a paper for a Chinese scientist. So, busy. Zora ( talk) 22:39, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
As a devout Muslim, we should express our outrage against "SHARIA HARAM LAWS", which are based on false/ fabricated hadiths attributed to a fictional character named Bukhari.
Since the spread of false hadiths of Bukhari by Jewish scribes to make Islam become a foolish religion devoid of any characteristics desired by Allah in Quran, Islam has declined in this world. No more contributions to science and mathematics since past 600 years Muslims led astray by mullahs with fake hadiths.
If being a suicide bomber was way to heaven, the mullah would be knocking over everyone to get to the front of the line to die--- but they brainwash the illiterate fools to die and go straight to hell. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.37.189.70 ( talk) 20:14, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
It should be noted that the original manuscript of Sahih al Bukhari DOES NOT EXIST, and that the compilation we have today is from the 14th century Mamluk imam al Yunini.
The German Wikipedia article about al Bukhari DOES mention this, and I think this is very, very, very (I can't stress it even more), VERY important information which should be stated, especially on the English version of the article. It could be placed under the heading 'authenticity'.

It doesn't make any sense to have the article rated as low on the importance scale. This is about the most important text of Hadith for a huge section of Muslims, it is of very high importance. Aslamt 04:23, 17 January 2007 (UTC) |

Hello,
This article is not too bad but I see a few suggestions:
- The second last paragraph of the Overview section states "Each version is named by its narrator." and "The most famous one today is the version narrated by al-Firabri (d. 932 CE/320 AH)" - What does it mean that versions were "narrated"? Does it mean that the volume was not actually written down by Bukhari, but only later by other persons? Please clarify the meaning of this passage.
- We need to include a brief explanation of the Shi'a view of this collection.
- We really, really need some secular historian's / irreligious scholars' views on the reliability of Sahih Bukhari! The article is currently really unbalanced, featuring exclusively the orthodox Sunni view. There should also be a mention of things like the oldest extant manuscript.
- In the "Authenticity" section, there are currently several quotes of praise from names that would be totally obscure to anyone but a fiqh expert. Can we not trim that down in favour of a more general statement along the lines of "Uninterruptedly since medieval times, Sunni scholars of Islamic jurisprudence have held Sahih Bukhari to be the most reliable source after the Qur'an", and back it up by quoting modern academics?

Dr Mohamed Zuhdi Jasser, with reference to Mohammad Tawhidi, said "I’m with him, not in condemning it in its entirety, but in condemning the vast majority of the Sahih al-Bukhari, which we believe is the origin of many of the radical interpretations in Sunni Islam." This article would benefit from a "criticism" section not dealing with criticism of historical sources but of the document itself, especially coming from Muslims. Just as there is an article " Criticism of the Bible" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.153.0.251 ( talk) 18:18, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

I understand that there's a separate article about the author, but shouldn't there be a brief introductory section about Ismail Bukhari as well. Moughera ( talk) 13:31, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
