Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Among the books whose authors committed to mentioning only authentic hadiths are: al-Bukhari and Muslim, Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah, Sahih Ibn Hibban, and Mustadrak al-Hakim, although there was some leniency in the authentication of Ibn Hibban and al-Hakim. Al-Suyuti said in Alfiyyat al-Mustalah: "And take it where a memorizer has stated it / Or from a compiled work specifically for its collection / Like Ibn Khuzaymah, followed by Muslim / And first is Al-Busti, then Al-Hakim."
