What “Sahih” actually guarantees
A Sahih hadith has passed the strictest test hadith scholars apply: an unbroken chain of trustworthy, precise narrators back to the Prophet, with no hidden defect and no contradiction with more reliable reports. It sits above Hasan and far above Da’if or fabricated narrations.
That is the standard this Sahih hadith finder holds every entry to. If a narration’s authenticity is genuinely disputed among scholars, it does not appear here — this tool draws only on narrations already graded Sahih by the classical compilers or by recognized later scholars such as Al-Albani, rather than attempting to grade anything itself.
Why this Sahih hadith finder lets you filter by collection
- Each of the six canonical books has its own compilation method and scope — Bukhari and Muslim focus on the strictest Sahih standard, while Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, and Ibn Majah include a wider range later scholars re-graded individually.
- Students citing for a class assignment are often asked to reference a specific collection, not just “a hadith.”
- Comparing how the same virtue appears across multiple collections shows how widely a teaching is attested, not just that one book happens to mention it.
Grade source: every “Sahih” label above comes from one of two places — the classical compiler’s own designation (Bukhari and Muslim), or a named later scholar’s grading (most commonly Al-Albani) for narrations from the other four collections. Each entry’s reference line states which applies.
A note on “Hasan Sahih”: two entries from Jami’ at-Tirmidhi carry at-Tirmidhi’s own classical designation of “Hasan Sahih” rather than a plain “Sahih.” This is a recognized classical grading meaning the narration meets the Sahih standard through more than one supporting chain, and hadith scholarship treats it as usable at the Sahih level — it is not a lower Hasan-only grade included by exception.
The six canonical collections, and what this tool currently covers
Together with Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, these six form the Kutub as-Sittah, the six books Sunni scholarship treats as the most authoritative hadith collections. The filter tabs above currently cover five of the six — Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, and Ibn Majah — with Sunan an-Nasa’i entries planned for a future update.
Sources and methodology
Every entry above is graded Sahih as recorded by the classical compiler or, for later-collection narrations, by a recognized modern muhaddith such as Al-Albani. No grading is performed by this tool — it only filters and displays narrations already graded by qualified scholarship.

Questions
Can I search by hadith number instead of topic?
Yes — type a reference like “Bukhari 6114” or “Muslim 223” into the search box and it will match directly, alongside the normal topic and collection filters.
Does this tool ever include Hasan or Da’if narrations?
No. Every entry is graded Sahih. Hasan and Da’if narrations are intentionally excluded from every result — if you need Hasan-graded material too, the Hadith Reference Finder includes both grades clearly labeled.
What does “Sahih li-ghayrihi” mean if I see it elsewhere?
It means a hadith reached the Sahih standard only through supporting chains, rather than being Sahih in its own single chain (Sahih li-dhatihi). Both are usable, but scholars sometimes note the distinction — this tool doesn’t currently mark that level of detail, so treat the “Sahih” label as the general grade.
Why does one collection’s tab show fewer results than another?
The current library is a curated starting set, not exhaustive. Bukhari and Muslim naturally have more widely known Sahih narrations represented here; more entries from the other collections will be added over time.
Can I rely on the “graded Sahih by Al-Albani” citations the same way as classical grading?
Al-Albani is a widely respected modern hadith scholar whose gradings are commonly cited, but like any scholarly grading it can be discussed. When precision matters, note which scholar assigned the grade, as this tool does.
Is this Sahih hadith finder connected to a live hadith database?
No — it’s a fixed, hand-checked list of 22 Sahih-graded narrations. For broader coverage across all grades, use the Hadith Search Tool.
