Abul Husayn Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj Qushayri al-Nisaburi ( Author of the second most widely recognized collection of Hadith in Sunni Islam , " Sahih Muslim ", "Muslims authentic (collection)". He is largely known as simply "Al-Muslim." Born in Nishapur ( Persia ) and traces his origins to the Arab tribe of Qushayr. Among the author's teachers were included al-Zubair b. Harb, Sa'id b. Mansur, 'Abd b. Humaid, al-Dhuhali, Al-Bukhari , Ibn Ma'in, Ibn Abi Shaiba, and others. Among his students were Al-Tirmidhi , Ibn Abi Hatim al-Razi, and Ibn Khuzaima, each of which wrote works on hadith too. His book is considered among the most authentic collections of hadith, second only to Al-Bukhari 's work (a minority of scholars consider Muslim's work more authentic). Estimates on how many hadiths are in his books vary widely from 12,000 to 3,033, depending on whether they remove the duplicates, consider only the text (''matn'') or the Isnad , the chain of narrators, as well. The book is said to share 2326 hadiths with Bukhari's Sahih. His book had lots of later scholars write commentaries on, the most famous are the one by Nawawi of Damascus , and Al-Qadi 'Iyad of Maghreb . The introduction of his book is a methodology on hadith, and how to differentiate between authentic and non-authentic narrations. It was translated into English by G.H.A. Juynboll as: "Muslim's introduction to his Sahih," Jerusalem Studies in Arabic and Islam, (1984) WORKS
