Arabic: Al-lulu wal-Marjan (Large - 2 Vols)

Some narrations appear in both Sahih Al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. Those carry a standing that no other hadith does — muttafaq 'alayh, agreed upon by the two most exacting compilers in the history of the discipline, working independently and applying different criteria.

This work gathers them into a single collection, which is why it was named for gems.

Why It Is So Widely Used

For a reader who wants the strongest material without navigating two enormous collections, this is the answer. Anything in this book has passed through both filters, so a person quoting from it is on ground nobody disputes.

That makes it particularly valuable for teachers, khateebs and students preparing material — and it is one of the most practical single purchases in the hadith section for a general Arabic reader.

The Edition
