Summarized Sahih Al-Bukhari - Arabic-English

This is a condensed, single-volume English translation of Sahih Al-Bukhari, based on the abridgment by Imam Zayn al-Din Ahmad ibn Ahmad al-Zubaidi (d. 893H), known as At-Tajrid as-Sarih.

Translated into clear, practical English by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, with the original Arabic text presented alongside.
