ABSTRACT

Muslim b. al-Hajjāj, Abū '1-Husayn (c. 202/817-261/875) Very famous compiler of hadīth (q.v.). His collection, called the Sahīh, is almost as famous as that of al-Bukhārī (q.v.). Indeed, the two collections together are called 'The Two Sahhīs' (alSahīhān). Muslim's collection of hadīth ranks among the six major collections. However, unlike other collectors of traditions, Muslim did not sub-divide the books of his work into chapters. (See Sahīh ) Muslim Brotherhood, Brethren See al-Bannā'; Ikhwān; alIkhwān al-Muslimun.
