1- Foremost is this very work, al-Ṣaḥīḥ, which the Most Generous Lord—His is all praise, grace, favor, and bounty—granted to the Muslim community. By it He kept for Muslim a noble mention and fine commendation until the Day of Judgement, along with the immense reward stored up for him in the everlasting abode; its benefit has reached Muslims everywhere.
