Kutub al-Sittah
The Kutub al-Sittah (Arabic: ����� ������) are six (originally five) books containing collections of hadith (sayings or acts of the prophet Muhammad) compiled by six Muslim scholars in the ninth century CE.
They are sometimes referred to as Al-Sihah al-Sittah, which translates as "The Authentic Six". They were first formally grouped and defined by Ibn al-Qaisarani in the 11th century, who added Sunan ibn Majah to the list. Since then, they have enjoyed near-universal acceptance as part of the official canon of Sunni Islam.
Not all Sunni Muslim jurisprudence scholars agree on the addition of Ibn Majah. In particular, The Malikis and Ibn al-Athir consider al-Mawatta' to be the sixth book. The reason for the addition of Ibn Majjah's Sunan is that it contains many Hadiths which do not figure in the other five, whereas all the Hadiths in the Muwatta' figure in the other Sahih books.

Al-Sunan Al-Sughra ����� ������
Sunan ibn Maja ���� ��� ����

Sahih Bukhari, collected by Imam Bukhari (d. 256 AH, 870 CE), includes 7.275 ahadith
Sahih Muslim, collected by Muslim b. al-Hajjaj (d. 261 AH, 875 CE), includes 9,200 ahadith

Jami al-Tirmidhi, collected by al-Tirmidhi (d. 279 AH, 892 C.E)
Sunan al-Sughra, collected by al-Nasa'i (d. 303 AH, 915 CE)
Either:
Sunan ibn Majah, collected by Ibn Majah (d. 273 AH, 887 CE)
Muwatta Malik, collected by Imam Malik (d. 179 AH, 795 CE) [6]
The first two, commonly referred to as the Two Sahihs as an indication of their authenticity, contain approximately seven thousand ahadith altogether if repetitions are not counted, according to Ibn Hajar.
