# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Bukhara in 810, al-Bukhari began studying hadith as a child and spent his early years traveling across the Abbasid Caliphate, learning from the era's most influential scholars. He committed thousands of narrations to memory, then spent years sifting them for authenticity before completing Sahih al-Bukhari in 846. The work, compiled alongside two other texts — al-Tarikh al-Kabir and al-Adab al-Mufrad — established a standard that his student Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj would follow in his own collection; together the two became known as the Sahihayn, the twin pillars of Sunni hadith literature. Al-Bukhari devoted the remainder of his life to teaching, though exile from Nishapur near the end forced him to Khartank, near Samarkand, where he died in 870.
