A book’s importance within a tradition does not mean that all Muslims agree on every report or interpretation. Editions and numbering can differ. Preserve the collection, book or chapter, report number, translator and edition when citing a passage.

Choose the right reading route
Open a named guide to identify the work, its genre and its scholarly context. Related legal and Sufi works are labelled separately from hadith collections.
Use the guide’s original-provider links for available reading. A publisher volume, scholarly study or external reader is identified as such; one available volume is not described as a complete set.
Keep a complete reference and read surrounding material before interpreting a quotation. A modern translation, an editorial summary and an exact source passage should remain distinguishable.
