This template is used to provide sources for Bukhari references. It formerly produced links to USC's CMJE hadith compendium, which has been retired. We are currently using QuranX.com instead, which is able to handle a choice of indexing conventions:
- USC-MSA (created by University of South Carolina)
- In-book (a hybrid system created by sunnah.com)
- Dar-us-Salam (created by the mid 20th century scholar Fuad Abdul Baqi).
The latter has become the de facto standard in English, Arabic and other languages. For that reason we have converted all existing USC-MSA citations for this collection to the Dar-us-Salam referencing system.
Detailed information about the hadith translations and reference systems available on QuranX.com can be read in the following document:
https://github.com/QuranX/QuranX/blob/master/docs/QuranXHadiths.md
Note that all of Bukhari is Sahih.
Usage
First Parameter is the Volume Number (optional).
Second Parameter is the Book Number (optional).
Third Parameter is the Hadith Number.
Forth Parameter (optional) is used to indicate that you are using one of the alternative referencing systems: Dar-us-Salam or In-book (if left blank, the default is USC-MSA). The revised site policy is to use the Dar-us-Salam system.
With the Dar-us-Salam Reference system, only a hadith number is specified, and is the same as in the Dar-us-Salam print editions.
With the USC-MSA system, the volume, book and hadith numbers are as in USC's CMJE database (retired).
With the In-book system, the book number for a hadith is the same as in the Dar-us-Salam print edition, and the hadith number is a simple incremental index starting at 1 for the first hadith in each book.
To cite a hadith with Dar-us-Salam Reference numbering: {{Bukhari|||#|darussalam}} (note the empty first and second parameters)
To cite a hadith with USC-MSA numbering: {{Bukhari|#|#|#}}
To cite a hadith with In-book numbering: {{Bukhari||#|#|in-book}} (note the empty first parameter)
