Hadith canonical collections (sect-bounded) (聖訓經典彙編(教派分界))
- Attributed author: muhammad_al_bukhari (confidence:
compiled) - Tradition: islam
- Domain: religion
Sect boundary inside Islam: the Sunni canonical six books (Kutub al-Sittah, e.g. Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim) and the Shia four books (e.g. al-Kafi) are distinct collections graded by chains of transmission (isnad). Hadith are compiled reports, not the Quran — do not merge sect canons with each other or collapse hadith into the Quran. Keep scholarly grading (sahih/da'if) separate from theological authority claims; a sensitive topic that requires the council panel.
Do not merge with: christianity, buddhism, daoist, quran.
