Sahih al-Bukhari Encyclopedia (website)

The Sahih al-Bukhari Encyclopedia is a website and digital library devoted to Sahih al-Bukhari and the books written on it, offering researchers a range of scholarly services; it is owned by the Ataat al-Ilm Foundation. ¹

Work on the encyclopedia began in 2003; its first release came in early 2016 with about sixty books, the second at the end of 2017, by which 120 books were complete, and the third in early 2019. ¹ A team of 25 researchers and specialists in the Shari'a sciences and technology worked on it from the start, growing to 260 by the end of 2017, by its own figures. ¹

It has a section on the Sahih with its manuscripts and their commentaries, the atraf, the rare words, the mu'allaqat and the riwayat, and a library section with the text of the Sahih and related works, printed and manuscript commentaries, supplements to the commentaries, works on al-Bukhari and his narrators, the openings and closings of the Sahih, and studies about it. ¹ Its figures speak of linking the Sahih to six manuscript branches of the Yunini recension, entering 135 books in some 180,000 pages and about 260 volumes, bringing out 15 books never printed before and publishing 45 books as PDF. ¹ When a hadith is displayed, the site links it to its manuscript sources and the Sultaniyya edition, to its other occurrences and to the commentaries, which can be compared side by side. ¹

The site is active at bukhari-pedia.net; the figures above are the project's own. It has an article in the Arabic Wikipedia. ^{1 2}
