[edit] Introduction

The name "Al-Sihah al-Sittah" translates literarly to "The Six Authentic", even though they are not all considered authentic (sahih), except for the first two collections.

All six collectors of these ahadith lived in modern-day Iran or Uzbekistan (unless Imam Malik is included.) Some were ethnically Persian, such as Bukhari <ref>[1]</ref> and Ibn Maja, while others were ethnically Arab, such as Imam Muslim (from the Qushayr tribe <ref>[2]</ref>) and Al-Tirmidhi (from the Banu Sulaym <ref>[3]</ref>).

Due to this, some people state that they were all Persian and not Arabs <ref>[4] [5]</ref>.

[edit] Muslim view

[edit] Sunni view

Sunni Muslims view the Six major Hadith collections as their most important. They are, in order of importance <ref>[6]</ref>:

1. Sahih Bukhari, collected by al-Bukhari (d. 870), included 7275 hadiths
2. Sahih Muslim, collected by Muslim b. al-Hajjaj (d. 875), included 9200
3. Sunan al-Sughra, collected by al-Nasa'i (d. 915)
4. Sunan Abi Da'ud, collected by Abu Da'ud (d. 888)
5. Sunan al-Tirmidhi, collected by al-Tirmidhi (d. 892)
6. This one is disputed. Sometimes its referred to Al-Muwatta, collected by Imam Malik (d. 796) and sometimes it is referred to Sunan Ibn Maja, collected by Ibn Maja (d. 886). Some people even consider Sunan al-Darami to be the sixth one ^{[citation needed]}.

The two first are referred to as the Two Sahihs which indicates that they are authentic.

[edit] Shi'a view

Shia’s have their own collections and reject the claims of authenticity that Sunni attribute to the six collections <ref>[7]</ref>.
