He wrote many books and treatises on Hadith, but the most important of his works is the collection (Jami’) of his Sahih. Some of the commentators of hadith are of the opinion that in certain respects it is the best and most authentic work on the subject.

Imam Muslim considered only such traditions to be genuine and authentic as had been transmitted to him by an unbroken chain of reliable authorities and were in perfect harmony with what had, (been related by other narrators whose trustworthiness was unanimously accepted and who were free from all defects.
