Sahih Muslim (Arabic: صَحِيحٌ مُسْلِمٍ) is one of the Kutub al-Sittah (six major hadith collections) in Sunni Islam.^[1] It is of high importance among Sunni muslims and considered the second most authentic hadith collection after Sahih al-Bukhari. It was collected by Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj (815-875), also known as Imam Muslim.^[2][3] Sahih Muslim, together with Sahih al-Bukhari is termed as Sahihayn.

Imam Muslim collected almost 300,000 hadith. Out of these, 4000 were included in the collection. According to Munthiri, there are a total of 2,200 hadiths (without repetition) in Sahih Muslim. According to Muhammad Amin, there are 1,400 authentic hadiths that are reported in other books, mainly the six major hadith collections.^[4]
