What was the first Hadith with which Al-Bukhari opened his Sahih, and what was the last?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The first hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari is: "Deeds are only by intentions, and every person will only have what he intended. So, whoever's emigration was for worldly gain or a woman to marry, then his emigration was for what he emigrated for." And the last hadith is: "Two phrases that are beloved to the Most Merciful, light on the tongue, and heavy on the Scale: 'Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi, Subhan Allah al-Azim' (Glorified is Allah and praised is He, Glorified is Allah, the Most Great)."
