Beliau menjawab: "Shalat pada waktunya." 'Abdullah bertanya lagi, "Kemudian apa kagi?" Beliau menjawab: "Kemudian berbakti kepada kedua orangtua." 'Abdullah bertanya lagi, "Kemudian apa kagi?" Beliau menjawab: "Jihad fi sabilillah." 'Abdullah berkata, "Beliau sampaikan semua itu, sekiranya aku minta tambah, niscaya beliau akan menambahkannya untukku."

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.
