Publisher's Synopsis

sayings known as Sahih Muslim, is the second most authoritative collection in
Islam. It is taught all over the world and forms part of every Islamic library
- be it personal, local, or national - in the world.
· Once complete, this set of books
will be the only English translation of the commentary and hadiths on the
market.
· The compiler of the hadiths,
Imam Muslim, is a household name amongst Muslims, who is famed for assessing
and collating the most trustworthy and reliable traditions of the Prophet
Muhammad. Very few Muslims in Islamic history come anywhere near his level of
influence or importance.

another one of the most trusted traditional voices on Islam (in history).

Muslims, one of the largest groups of Sunni Muslims in the world, as
foundational to their school of thought.

work and the commentary together, this pioneering work of scholarship will aid
understanding amongst interested English readers, whilst also being a desirable
book for libraries and academics.
· Kube is well-connected in the
Muslim world and will seek endorsements and publicity.

will become the definitive English edition.
