Sahih Muslim is one of the six canonical Sunni hadith collections, a primary record of sayings and actions attributed to the Prophet Muhammad compiled and authenticated through the tradition's own isnad based method rather than through independent outside verification of each narration, and this record holds it at the tier appropriate to a primary tradition text rather than the top tier reserved for outside critical scholarship. As a primary text it is authoritative for what a specific hadith records as attributed to the Prophet, checkable against the collection itself, not for independent historical confirmation that any single narration is accurate, which the collection's own isnad system asserts rather than an outside method verifies. Use it for the content of a specific hadith on doctrine, virtue or practice as this collection records it; it is accepted as authoritative within Sunni Islam specifically, not a source for Shia hadith literature, which needs its own dedicated collection.
