The most famous Sunni collections are Sahih Muslim and Sahih Bukhari , and the most famous Shi'a collections are Nahj Al-Balagha and Usul Al-Kafi . MUSLIM VIEW While Sunni's believe that the door to Ijtihad is sealed, the Shi'a do not concur in this conclusion. Sunni view Accordingly, Sunni Islam views the conclusions of the authors of the collections Sahih Muslim and Sahih Bukhari to be above critique per doctrine. This result in the authors conclusion of their book only containing Sahih hadith to be true. Shi'a view Shi'a do not consider the door to Ijtihad to be sealed, and in the contrary, they do not deem any hadith to be Sahih unless the scholar claiming it to be Sahih is alive and can formulate the reason for his conclusion. This results in Shi'a not accepting any Hadith collection as being "all authentic", unless its author is alive, and hence, Shi'a do not have any old Hadith collection whom they hold in the same status as Sunnis hold Sahih Bukhari. However, Shi'a do value their own collections as having been deemed to have a very high amount of Sahih narrations by many scholars through time. For example, Nahj Al-Balagha is considered almost entirely authentic by all Shi'a scholars in all times, but for the sake of the principle, it is not said to contain only authentic hadith. SEE ALSO |
