Author's Name: Dr. Ahmed Abdul Jabbar Sanoub

The book "From the Prophet ﷺ to Al-Bukhari" by Dr. Ahmed Sanoub is a distinguished study that sheds light on the development of the Hadith narration movement and the history of the transition of the Prophet's Hadith from direct transmission to codification in well-known Hadith books, especially Sahih Al-Bukhari. The book discusses how Hadith narration underwent a careful and meticulous process, characterized by integrity and reliability.

The book reviews the features of this movement through four main chapters: Chapter One: From the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, to the Companions, may God be pleased with them. Chapter Two: From the Companions, may God be pleased with them, to the Followers. Chapter Three: Chapter Four: From the Followers of the Followers to the famous Hadith books.

The book highlights the critical movement accompanying the hadith narration, showing how hadith critics scrutinized narrations to ensure their authenticity. It also focuses on the critical tools used by scholars, such as "jarh wa'l-ta'dil" (disparagement and correction) and "ilal," as well as the critical authority exercised over narrators. This authority was considered an important factor in preserving the purity of the narration and posed a major challenge to narrators in ensuring the accuracy of their transmission of hadiths.

This book is an important study for understanding the precise scientific method followed by scholars in preserving and documenting the Prophetic Hadith, and it contributes to refuting allegations of forgery and fabrication.
