Who was Imam Bukhari?

Imam Muhammad bin Ismaeel al Bukhari (194-254 Hijri) was born in Bukhara, modern day Uzbekistan. He saw a dream in his youth in which he was fanning the air and removing the dust and flies whilst seated in front of the noble Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam). This was an early indication of the glorious future Allah had planned for him. Upon interpretation, he was told that he would be instrumental in removing falsehood from the ahadeeth of the noble Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam).

He is undoubtedly the greatest ever Imam of hadeeth with over 90,000 students having studied the Jami al Saheeh directly from him and over 130 commentaries of his work having been completed. In the past the Great Scholars of hadeeth used to travel for hundreds of miles for the sake of one hadeeth and yet we are getting this opportunity without all this hard work and effort. Let us not let this great opportunity of listening to the commentary of the abridged Saheeh al-Bukhari go to waste. We request that you listen and benefit from the weekly Bukhari daroos and thereby learn the words of the Holy Prophet (Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam).

The podcast is ideal for those who are unable to travel to Al Kawthar Academy for the lessons as well as for those who wish to review, revise and revisit the daroos after attending the lesson.
