(The six correct ones)
IMAM BUKHARI: (13th Shawwal 194 AH - 1st Shawwal 256 AH) Imam Bukhari's full name was Mohammed Ismail al Bukhari. He was born in Bukhara, a city of Uzbekistan. His father was a good narrator for Hadith. When he was a small child he lost his father. Right from the beginning he was very brilliant , having an astonishing memory. He received his early education from scholars like Muhammad bin Salam Baikondi and Muhammad bin Yusuf Baikondi, in Bukhara itself. Imam Bukhari was having a great power of remembrance. When he was only eleven years of age the corrected Allama Dakhli, a great Islamic scholar for a mistake in the reference of a Sanad. At the age of 16 he learnt by heart some great books on Islamic jurisprudence. In search of Hadith he traveled to Syria, Egypt, Basra Makkah, Medina, Kufa. He collected Hadith from more than one thousand scholars. He himself had remembered around six lakh Ahadith.
The different compilation of Hadith which was existing during the time of Imam Bukhari was somewhat vague and was difficult for a general student to take help from it because they were having the collection of strong and weak Hadith without providing a clear distinction. So Imam Bukhari planned to compile a book of Ahadith which should contain only highly authentic Ahadith. His teacher Ishaq bin Rahuya has also appreciated this idea. So accordingly he started his work. He wrote the whole book in the premises of Ka’aba and later indexed the Ahadith near the grave of the Holy Messenger in Medina. He used to offer two Rakah of Namaz before writing any Ahadith. Several contemporary Islamic scholar has appreciated and certified his compilation as authentic.
Apart from the great compilation of Sahih Bukhari, he wrote many books like Al-Tarikh Al-Kabir, Al-Tarikh Al-Saghir, Al-Adabul Mufsad, Al-Tarikhul Awsat and Kitabul Fawaid, etc.

He traveled Iraq, Hejaz, Egypt, Syria, etc. in search of Hadith. For getting broader knowledge of Hadith he also contacted with Imam Bukhari, Imam Shafii and Imam Ahmed Ibn Hambal, etc. He was having some difference with Imam Bukhari on some issue, which he had described in the preface of his book. He compiled his great work Sahih Muslim after scanning about three lakh Hadith. His Sahih Muslim contains 7422 Ahadith. This work completed in about 15 years. Besides this he wrote books on Ilm-al-Hadith and two more books named as Kitabul Iman and Kitabul Tafsir.

Some scholars do not include 'Sunan Ibn Maja' in the 'Sihah al Sittah'. Either they consider only 'Sihah al Khamsa' i.e. Five correct ones or they include Imam Maliks “Moata” in the Sihah al Sittah instead of Sunan' Ibn Maja. Apart from Sunan Ibn Maja, he compiled a book containing the Ahadith related to the explanation of the Quran and he also wrote a book on history called as 'At- Tarikh' but nowadays none of these books are available.

This book contains Ahadith on Islamic jurisprudence history, Jihad and other related issues. He mentioned many such Ahadith, which are not mentioned in the Shahih (the correct i.e. the compilation of Imam Bukhari and Muslim). Because he obeyed those narrators too, about whom he found no objectionable thing. He has mentioned in detail the quality of Ahadith in the book according to their authenticity.
