حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ صَبَّاحٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَابِقٍ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْعَيْزَارِ ذَكَرَ عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَى مِيقَاتِهَا قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أَيٌّ قَالَ ثُمَّ بِرُّ الْوَالِدَيْنِ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أَيٌّ قَالَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَسَكَتُّ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَوْ اسْتَزَدْتُهُ لَزَادَنِي
English Translation
Telah bercerita kepada kami [Al Hasan bin Shobbah] telah bercerita kepada kami [Muhammad bin Sabiq] telah bercerita kepada kami [Malik bin Mighwal] berkata; aku mendengar [Al Walid bin Al 'Ayzar] menyebutkan dari [Abu 'Amru Asy Syaibaniy] berkata ['Abdullah bin Mas'ud radliallahu 'anhu] berkata: "Aku bertanya kepada Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, aku katakan: "Wahai Rasulullah, amal apakah yang paling utama?" Beliau menjawab: "Sholat pada waktunya". Kemudian aku tanyakan lagi: " Kemudian apa?" Beliau menjawab: "Kemudian berbakti kepada kedua orang tua". Lalu aku tanyakan lagi: "Kemudian apa lagi?" Beliau menjawab: "Jihad di jalan Allah". Maka aku berhenti menyakannya lagi kepada Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam. Seandainya aku tambah terus pertanyaan, Beliau pasti akan menambah jawabannya kepadaku".

Imam al-Bukhari dedicated 16 years to compiling Sahih al-Bukhari, selecting approximately 7,275 hadiths from over 600,000 narrations he examined. His strict conditions for accepting a hadith — requiring narrator continuity, reliable memory, and confirmed meeting between narrators — make it the most rigorously authenticated hadith collection in Islamic scholarship.
Imam al-Bukhari would perform ghusl and pray two rak'ahs before recording each hadith. Sahih al-Bukhari is universally regarded as the most authentic book after the Quran.
