Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Qutaibah] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Laits] dari [Yazid bin Abu Habib] dari [Abu Al Khair] dari [Abdullah bin 'Amru] bahwa ada seseorang bertanya kepada Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam; "Islam manakah yang paling baik?" Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam menjawab: "Kamu memberi makan dan memberi salam kepada orang yang kamu kenal dan yang tidak kamu kenal".

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.
