AFTER THE BOOK OF ALLAAH (QUR'AN) SAHEEH AL_BUKHAARI AND MUSLIM ARE THE NEXT MOST AUTHENTIC BOOKS FOR THE MUSLIMS (TO WORSHIP ALLAH WITH)
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said:
" There is no book beneath the canopy of heaven that is more sound than al-Bukhaari and Muslim, after the Qur’aan."

The Saheeh of Imam Abu ‘Abd-Allaah Muhammad ibn Ismaa’eel al-Bukhaari is the soundest book of narration after the Book of Allaah. The scholars, muhaddithoon (scholars of hadeeth) and hafizes all bear witness to its high status in terms of authenticity and precision.
This is not far-fetched, because al-Bukhaari is the great imam and hafiz to whose memory and precision all the muhaddithoon bore witness. He used to ask Allaah for guidance (by praying istikhaarah) and pray two rak'ahs concerning every hadeeth he included in his book, until he completed it in this manner.
Finally, Imam al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
" The Ummh is unanimously agreed that these two books are saheeh and it is obligatory to follow their ahaadeeth. "
