Sahih Al-Bukhari -- Why was it chosen?

Watch this YouTube Video. Read the Note by publisher of Sahih Al-Bukhari Arabic-English Version. The translator gets a duly stamped letter from the Prophet in his dream and that motivates the translation and compilation. Also read the Revealed Word of Allah to mankind and the commentary by Yusuf Ali.

One may wonder why some so-called scholars uphold Sahih Al-Bukhari, a book of compiled ahadith. Inside Sahih Al-Bukhari english translation, signed and authorized by Abdul Malik Mujahid from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, one can read a peculiar story of a man named Dr. Muhammad Muhsin.

Dr. Muhammad Muhsin was a physician who worked in England and later moved to Al-Madina. He had a dream in which he was drinking the Prophet Muhammad's sweat until his thirst was quenched, and the Prophet stamped papers in his hand. He asked some religious scholars the meaning of the dream, and they told him he would narrate ahadith. Interestingly, he chose the book of Al-Bukhari, and began translating it into English.

My comment: If this is the basis on why we uphold and follow Bukhari, don't you think it sounds just a little ludicrous?

On what basis did he choose Al-Bukhari's work?

Imam Bukhari was born nearly 200 years after the Prophet, at a time when the Muslims upheld only one religious document, the Qur'an. Everything else was heresay. Imam Bukhari is said to have collected and memorized over 300,000 ahadith from the lips of others, in which some 200,000 were unreliable. One may wonder if he had first and foremost memorized the Quran. Sahih Al-Bukhari goes on to say, "He was born at a time when Hadith was being forged either to please rulers or kings or to corrupt the religion of Islam." Out of those ahadith, he chose 7,275 with repetion, and about 2,230 without repetition. It also claims that many religious scholars of Islam tried to find fault in his collection, Sahih Al-Bukhari, but failed. One may wonder who these scholars are, and what their arguments were. All of this was said by Dr.Muhammad Muhsin, who apparently studied at the Islamic University at Al-Madina in Saudi Arabia.

Perhaps this is why Sahih Al-Bukhari is put on such a pedestal. One may wonder if today's modern scholars know of this, or do they blindly follow a dogma that has simply been passed down from generations? Dogma is defined as "a religious doctrine that is proclaimed as true without proof." Does this not sound like the propagation of Sahih Al-Bukhari, or the story of Muhammad Muhsin?

Should our scholars not study this document with more scrutiny?
