The Kutub al-Sittah ( Arabic : ٱلْكُتُب ٱلسِّتَّة , romanized : al-Kutub as-Sittah , lit. 'the six books') are six (originally five) books containing collections of hadith (sayings or acts of the Islamic prophet Muhammad ) compiled by six Sunni Muslim scholars in the ninth century CE , approximately two centuries after the death of Muhammad. They are sometimes referred to as al-Sihah al-Sittah , which translates as "The Authentic Six". They were first formally grouped and defined by Ibn al-Qaisarani in the 11th century, who added Sunan ibn Majah to the list.
