To give you a shortcut into understanding these hadith directly in Arabic, we spent countless hours of research extracting the most common 300 words that occur over 700,000 times in Sahih Al Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.
These two collections are referred to as “Sahihayn”, meaning “two authentic ones”, because they are the most authentic source. Imam Bukhari learned over 600,000 narrations from 1,000 different men and Imam Muslim was one of his students. Both took great care to check each narration for authenticity.
Learning these top 300 words will help you understand 80% of the Prophet’s words as narrated by Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim. By understanding the hadith in Arabic, you can get a direct glimpse into the life of the Prophet ﷺ, his family, and his companions, and no longer feel like an outsider looking in.
