Bulugh al-Maram is the shortened name of the collection of hadith by al-Hafidh ibn Hajar al-Asqalani entitled, Bulugh al-Maram min Adillat al-Ahkam (translation: Attainment of the Objective According to Evidences of the Ordinances). It contains a total of 1358 hadiths. At the end of each hadith narrated in Bulugh al-Maram, al-Hafidh ibn Hajar mentions who collected that hadith originally.

• There are numerous different books of hadith in it including, Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawud, Jami at-Tirmidhi, " Sunan al-Nasa'i, "Sunan ibn Majah, and Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal and more. However, Bulugh al-Maram holds a unique distinction as all the hadith compiled in the book have been the sources for fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence) rulings. In addition to mentioning the origins of each of the hadith in Bulugh al-Maram, ibn Hajar also included a comparison between the versions of a hadith that came from different sources. Because of its unique qualities, it still remains one of the most sought after collections of hadith.
