Sahih is a Islamic term that means authentic. It is commonly used to describe the authenticity of a Hadith.

Definition

However, both Shi'a and Sunni agree that a hadith being Sahih does not mean every single word of it is necessarily told by Muhammad, that is a status reserved only for the Qur'an.

Some Sunni Muslims use the term the "Two Sahihs" referring to Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, since they are considered to contain only Sahih Hadith.
