Sahih al-Bukhari is one of the two hadith collections Sunni Islam regards as most authoritative, compiled by Muhammad al-Bukhari from the accounts he judged most reliable among those in circulation in his own time. The count of ninety nine names for God recorded in this collection is muttafaq alayh, meaning it is specifically agreed upon between Bukhari's collection and the other most authoritative collection, Sahih Muslim, a real point of textual agreement between two independent compilers rather than a claim resting on either one alone. The atlas cites it as the tradition's own attestation of this count, not independent historical confirmation of hadith authenticity generally.
