Summarized Sahih Muslim 2 Volume Set

Overview:

Sahih Muslim is the most authentic book of Hadith after Sahih Al-Bukhari and contains 7,563 Ahadith. The Muslim scholars have agreed that all of the Ahadith in Sahih Muslim are authentic. Thus, Darussalam realized the great benefit of publishing the full version of Sahih Muslim in the English language in the best presentation. Much care has been taken in rendering these Ahadith into a clear and simple style of modern English.

This fine-quality edition of Sahih Muslim has been verified by Darussalam Publications extensively. Its translation has been checked several times, not only to avoid mistranslating but also to avoid misinterpreting the ahadith, as done by many translators of the current times, in order to rush the product to market or due to their lack of understanding of the Arabic language. Unlike other publishers, which leave you wondering about the meaning of the ahadith, the unclear wording has been explained in the brackets. There are also footnotes on the bottom of some of the pages, when the term cannot be explained in the brackets. This edition of Dar-us-Salam is nice in that it starts off by drawing a life sketch of Imam Muslim. Then, it goes on to the introduction of Sahih Muslim by Imam Muslim himself, where he explains the difference between different narrators and levels of trustworthiness.

This edition is also different from other publishers in that the text is side by side with Arabic, so you have access to both English and Arabic at the same time. Furthermore, the book regarding reporting from the trustworthy narrators has been placed first while other books follow it. Moreover, the Arabic text contains a full chain of narrators, while the English only mentions the companion. Lastly, in keeping with the tradition of high-quality printing, this edition of Sahih Muslim by Dar-us-Salam Publications is second to none and made to last a long time, Insha Allah.
