Everything about Sahih totally explained

Sahih is an Islamic term that means authentic. It is commonly used to describe the authenticity of a Hadith.

Definition

Sunni Muslims use the term the "Two Sahihs" referring to Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, since they consider them to contain only Sahih Hadith. Similarly, the "Six Sahihs" refers to the "two Sahihs" and in addition the four other famous collections, being Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah and al-Nasa'i. Altogether, there are forty-nine books of authenticated hadith-collections, which include, apart from these six more famous ones, also the Muwatta' Imam Malik, Musnad Imam Abu Hanifah, Musnad Imam Shafi'i, Musnad Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal, Bayhaqi, Darimi, Dar Qutni, Jami' Kabir, Jami' Saghir, Mustadrak Hakim, etc.

Shia's use of sahih books

Shia don't believe that the sahih books are completely authentic, only a small percentage of the hadith are accepted by the Shia. Even though Shia don't believe the sahih books contain hadiths that are all authentic, they do use some hadiths from those books to argue that the ideology of the Shia is right. For example in the Sahih Bukhari it's mentioned that Uthman ran away from the battle of Uhud. Running away from battles is a capital sin in Islam. Shia use this hadith to argue that Uthman couldn't have been the ruler of all Muslims if he committed capital sins.
