Jump to: navigation, search

The Kutub al-Sittah are important and canonical religious texts in Sunni Islam. They consist of Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan al-Sughra, Sunan Abu Dawood, Jami al-Tirmidhi and Sunan ibn Majah.[1]

Some of the content of these texts have been criticized, including sections which describe Muhammad marrying Aisha when she was six years old, and then having sex with her at age nine. The texts are alo criticised by some Muslims such as the Ahle Quran who consider the hadith to be a bid'ah (innovation).
