Description :
Mukhtasar Sahih al-Bukhari by Imam Ibn Abi Jamrah al-Andalusi condenses one of the most authentic and comprehensive collections of prophetic narrations into 297 essential hadiths. A distinguished Andalusian scholar and Hadith master, Ibn Abi Jamrah gathered from each book of the Sahih only the narrations that carry the kernel of its meaning, at times a single hadith from an entire chapter, streamlining the work into an accessible form without compromising authenticity or depth.
When he observed a declining enthusiasm for memorizing hadith because of the length of their chains of transmission, he resolved to compile an abridged collection: a concise work, easy to memorize and rich in practical benefit. He omitted the full chains, keeping only the narrating Companion, so that the words of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ could be carried in the heart.
He named the work Jam' al-Nihayah fi Bad' al-Khayr wa al-Ghayah, The Gathering of the Outcome in the Best and Most Superior Beginning, hoping that Allah would grant whoever recites it or hears it the best of beginnings. The collection encapsulates the core of Imam al-Bukhari's monumental effort and serves as a practical gateway to the Sahih. It is a cornerstone work, respected across generations for its depth, clarity, and enduring relevance to contemporary spiritual and ethical questions, and it is still read and studied in circles of knowledge wherever there are Muslims.

About the Author :
The Imam, the Hadith Master, Shaykh Abu Muhammad Abdullah ibn Sa'd ibn Abi Jamrah al-Azdi al-Andalusi (d. 699 AH) was raised in al-Andalus in a household of knowledge and piety. He settled at last in Egypt, where seekers gathered around him at his zawiyah, and where he authored a complete tafsir of the Qur'an, this Mukhtasar, and its expansive commentary, Bahjah al-Nufus.
Shaykh Taj al-Din Ibn Ata'illah said, "I saw the Master of Messengers ﷺ in a dream. He said to me, 'Have you not visited the ruler of the East and the West?' I asked him, 'O my Master, who is the ruler of the East and the West?' He said, 'Abdullah ibn Abi Jamrah. His glance never fell on anyone except that they were rectified.'"
Ibn Ata'illah asked to be buried beside him.
