Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُلَمَّا أَرَادَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ إِلَى الرُّومِ قِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّهُمْ لَا يَقْرَءُونَ كِتَابًا إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ مَخْتُومًا فَاتَّخَذَ خَاتَمًا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى بَيَاضِهِ فِي يَدِهِ وَنَقَشَ فِيهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ
English Translation
Telah bercerita kepada kami ['Ali bin Al Ja'di] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Syu'bah] dari [Qatadah] berkata aku mendengar [Anas radliallahu 'anhu] berkata; Ketika Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam hendak menulis surat kepada (raja) Romawi dikatakan kepada Beliau bahwa mereka tidak membaca tulisan kecuali bila berstempel. Maka Beliau mengambil stempel terbuat dari perak. Sungguh aku seakan melihat cahaya putih pada tangan Beliau. Lalu Beliau memberi tanda yang bertuliskan Muhammad Rasulullah."

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.
