Al-Lulu Wal Marjan - Perals & Corals (2 Vol. Set)

Some narrations appear in both Sahih Al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. Those carry a standing nothing else does — muttafaq 'alayh, agreed upon by the two most exacting compilers in the history of the discipline, working independently under different criteria.

This work gathers them, which is why it was named for gems.

Why It Is So Useful

Because anything in it is beyond dispute. A teacher, khateeb or student quoting from this collection is on ground nobody argues with, and does not need to check a grading first.

That makes it one of the more practical hadith purchases a person can make — the strongest material in the tradition, in two volumes rather than sixteen.

The Translation

Rendered into very simple English so that readers at any level can use it. Two-volume hardback set.

Who Should Own It

It belongs in every Muslim's personal collection. Also particularly suited to teachers, khateebs and study circles preparing material.
