Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسٌ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُعَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَلَا لِحَيَاتِهِ وَلَكِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُمَا فَصَلُّوا
English Translation
Telah bercerita kepada kami [Muhammad bin Al Mutsannaa] telah bercerita kepada kami [Yahya] dari [Isma'il] berkata telah bercerita kepadaku [Qais] dari [Abu Mas'ud radliallahu 'anhu] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam yang bersabda "Matahari dan bulan tidak mengalami gerhana disebabkan karena mati atau hidupnya seseorang akan tetapi keduanya adalah dua tanda dari tanda-tanda kebesaran Allah. Maka jika kalian melihat gerhana keduanya, shalatlah".

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.
