'''Sahih''' (صَحِيْح) is an Arabic word that means genuine/authentic/sound/correct. It is used in classification of [[hadith|ahadith]] and is the highest level of authenticity given to a narration that passes all of Imam Bukhari's criteria for classification as a sahih hadith. The ahadith (sayings/narrations/reports) are contemporaneous accounts about [[Muhammad]], his life, and the life of his [[Sahabah|companions]]. Whereas the [[Qur'an]] was written down in book form and later codified by Caliph Uthman, the ahadith did not benefit from such a process, but instead were passed down orally from person to person, until a collector of ahadith came to record them (often many hundreds of years later). | '''Sahih''' (صَحِيْح) is an Arabic word that means genuine/authentic/sound/correct.
