Fath al-Bari

Fath al-Bari (Arabic: فتح الباري, romanized: Fatḥ al-Bārī, lit. 'Grant of the Creator') is a commentary on Sahih al-Bukhari, the first of the Six Books of Sunni Islam, authored by Egyptian Islamic scholar Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani (initiated by ibn Rajab). Considered his magnum opus, it is a widely celebrated hadith commentary.

Ibn Rajab commenced composing the commentary, however he only reached the chapter on the funeral prayers before his death, amounting to less than a sixth of Sahih Bukhari. Twenty years after his death, Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani started to complete the rest of the commentary, which consisted around 85% of Sahih Bukhari.
