Imam Mohammed Al-Bukhari is considered one of the most distinguished scholars of Hadith in Islamic history. His book Sahih al-Bukhari, in which the Prophet's words, actions, or habits were collected, is one of the greatest sources of the prophetic influence in history.
His full name is Abu Abdullah Mohamed bin Ismail Al-Bukhari and was born in 194 AH (8100 AD) in Bukhara, one of the present cities of Uzbekistan His father died when he was young, and he was raised as an orphan by his mother, who educated him well and had a role in sharpening his love and passion for science.
As a child, he had a disease in his eyes, which led to fears of losing his eyesight, but he was cured. He was highly intelligent as a child and had a strong memory, one of the qualities that helped him later in the collection of the Prophet's words and actions (Ahadiths).
During his youth, he memorized the Holy Quran and learned the basics of religion. He had memorized thousands of Ahadiths while he was still a young boy. Bukhara's atmosphere, which was then one of the centres of science, also helped him. He attended the meetings with scientists and religious scholars frequently.
