Through research on the occasion between the heading of the chapter in which the study hadith is narrated and the previous headings, and the relationship of this heading to the hadith that he narrates in the chapter, and its relationship with the men of its chain of transmissions, as well as the narrator's relationship with whomever narrated about him, whether that is in the chain of transmissions of the hadith of the chapter, or what is mentioned in another chapter, and how he dealt with the narrators of the hadith selected for study in the entirety of his book Al-Sahih, and to know the concept of the authentic hadith at him. The study concluded with Imam Al-Bukhari's assertion on the issue of proof of meeting between the narrator and whoever narrated about him, and that the concept of the Sahih at him is broader than the limit set by hadith scholars in defining the authentic hadith. He adopted in this study to achieve its objectives the use of two basic approaches which are the analytical approach and the deductive method.
