Books & Collections

The Mumin API organizes hadiths into a hierarchy of Collections, Books, and Chapters.

Collections

A Collection is a major compilation of hadiths, such as "Sahih al-Bukhari". We use unique slugs to identify them.

Collection NameSlug
Sahih al-Bukharisahih-bukhari
Sahih Muslimsahih-muslim
Sunan Abi Dawudsunan-abi-dawud
Jami` at-Tirmidhijami-at-tirmidhi

Books

Inside each collection, hadiths are grouped into Books (e.g., "The Book of Revelation"). Books usually cover a specific topic (Kitab).

Chapters

Books are further divided into Chapters (Bab), which contain specific hadiths related to a sub-topic.

Numbering Systems

We support multiple numbering systems to help you find hadiths exactly as they appear in printed editions:

  • In-book reference: The standard index within the book.
  • USC-MSA: The numbering used by sunnah.com.
