Narrated Anas:

No doubt, the Prophet mortgaged his armor for barley grams. Once I took barley bread with some dissolved fat on it to the Prophet and I heard him saying, "The household of Muhammad did not possess except a Sa (of food grain, barley, etc.) for both the morning and the evening meals although they were nine houses."

Volume 3, Book 45, Number 687

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:

Allah's Apostle said, "Who would kill Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf as he has harmed Allah and His Apostle ?" Muhammad bin Maslama (got up and) said, "I will kill him." So, Muhammad bin Maslama went to Ka'b and said, "I want a loan of one or two Wasqs of food grains." Ka'b said, "Mortgage your women to me." Muhammad bin Maslama said, "How can we mortgage our women, and you are the most handsome among the Arabs?" He said, "Then mortgage your sons to me." Muhammad said, "How can we mortgage our sons, as the people will abuse them for being mortgaged for one or two Wasqs of food grains? It is shameful for us. But we will mortgage our arms to you." So, Muhammad bin Maslama promised him that he would come to him next time. They (Muhammad bin Maslama and his companions came to him as promised and murdered him. Then they went to the Prophet and told him about it.

Narrated Abu Wail:

Abdullah (bin Mas'ud) said, "Whoever took a false oath in order to grab somebody's property will meet Allah while Allah will be angry with him."

Al-Ash'ath bin Qais came to us and asked as to what Abu Abdur-Rehman (i.e. Ibn Mas'ud) was telling you." We related the story to him. On that he said, "He has told the truth. This verse was revealed about me. I had some dispute with another man regarding a well and we took the case before Allah's Apostle. Allah's Apostle said (to me), "Produce two witnesses (to support your claim); otherwise the defendant has the right to take an oath (to refute your claim).' I said, 'The defendant would not mind to take a false oath." Allah's Apostle then said, 'Whoever took a false oath in order to grab someone else's property will meet Allah, Allah will be angry with him.' Allah then revealed what Confirmed it." Al-Ash'ath then recited the following Verse:--"Verily! Those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's covenant, And their oaths . . . (to) . . . they shall have a painful torment!' (3.77) (See Hadith No. 546)

About this translation and its references

This English edition is distributed by IslamHouse.com ↗. The main introduction and EPUB metadata identify M. Muhsin Khan as the translator. EPUB edition: 2010; source upload: 2 May 2019; retrieved: 7 October 2026. Its original paragraphs and references are preserved.

English references use volume / book / report numbering, for example 1 / 2 / 7. This differs from the Arabic collection’s modern continuous numbering. The editions group and repeat narrations differently; their counts and book numbers are not interchangeable. An English report is not automatically paired with an Arabic report bearing a similar number.

This reader contains all 7,111 numbered reports across the 93 books supplied in this English edition. This is the complete imported edition, not a claim that it reproduces every variant, chain or chapter heading of every Arabic edition.

Hadith reports are distinct from Qur’an verses. Translation conveys an interpretation of meaning. Read surrounding reports and seek qualified guidance for personal religious rulings.

Introduction to Translation of Sahih Bukhari

Introduction to Translation of Sahih Bukhari

Translator: M. Muhsin Khan

________________________________________

Sahih Bukhari is a collection of sayings and deeds of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), also known as the sunnah. The reports of the Prophet's sayings and deeds are called ahadith. Bukhari lived a couple of centuries after the Prophet's death and worked extremely hard to collect his ahadith. Each report in his collection was checked for compatibility with the Qur'an, and the veracity of the chain of reporters had to be painstakingly established. Bukhari's collection is recognized by the overwhelming majority of the Muslim world to be one of the most authentic collections of the Sunnah of the Prophet (pbuh).

Bukhari (full name Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Ismail bin Ibrahim bin al-Mughira al-Ja'fai) was born in 194 A.H. and died in 256 A.H. His collection of hadith is considered second to none. He spent sixteen years compiling it, and ended up with 2,602 hadith (9,082 with repetition). His criteria for acceptance into the collection were amongst the most stringent of all the scholars of ahadith.

It is important to realize, however, that Bukhari's collection is not complete: there are other scholars who worked as Bukhari did and collected other authentic reports.

Note for WWW Developers

Sahih Bukhari is divided into nine volumes, each of which has several books. Each book contains many ahadith. The ahadith are numbered consecutively per volume. The books really only serve to group ahadith together, but the volumes impose the numbering.

MSA-USC has placed anchors (hyperlinks) for all the ahadith in the translations presented here. Prospective developers of Islamic sites may find it useful to refer to these anchors. For example, one could use the anchors to create an 'active' subject index into Sahih Bukhari.

The format of the anchor names for the translated ahadith in Sahih Bukhari is very simple:

DDD.DDD.DDD[A]

where D stands for a digit and [A] means an optional letter. The first three digits are the volume number, the second three digits are the book number, and the last three digits (with optional letter) are the report number. The format of the file names (one per book) is:

DDD.sbt.html

The three digits are the book number, and sbt stands for Sahih Bukhari Translation. Given the anchor, you can tell which file it is found in (e.g. 005.059.716 is found in 059.sbt.html).

For example, the following snippet of HTML should take you to volume 2, book 16, number 108:

<a href="016.sbt.html#002.016.108">SAMPLE</a>
