Muslims believe that Sahih Muslim is the most authentic book of hadeeth after Sahih Al-Bukhari. The Muslim Scholars have agreed that all of the hadeeth in Sahih Muslim are authentic. Thus, Darussalam realized the great benefit of publishing Al-Hafiz Al-Mundhiri's summarized version of Sahih Muslim in the English language. Much care has been taken in rendering these hadeeth into a clear and simple style of modern English.
Summarized Sahih Muslim contains 2,179 hadeeth with 70 categories (referred as books). Both volumes combined contain 1,208 pages with index and appendix.

A Note from the Compiler
The author has summarized this book from the Sahih of Al-Imam AbulHusain Muslim bin Al-Hajjaj Al-Qushairi An-Naisaburi. It is a summation that makes memorization easy for those who wish to memorize it. It also makes things easier for the one who wants to investigate or look into the Sahih. I organized it in a way that will help the one who is looking for something specific to find it faster. With its small size it contains a great portion of the intended information from the original Sahih.
