Some of them are saying that Sahih Al-Buhari and Sahih Muslim are the only sahih hadih books. Than what about the books like Thirmidhi and Abu-Dawud etc.

3Which hadith is sahih is a matter of opinion we have a couple of books which are called sahih in their titles like "sahih" ibn Hebban, Muslim, al-Bukhari, ibn Khozaimah etc. but all these scholars have different interpretations of what is a sahih! I think I covered your issue in islam.stackexchange.com/questions/25875/…, see also islam.stackexchange.com/questions/7718/… and islam.stackexchange.com/questions/2419/…– Medi1Saif ♦Commented Dec 27, 2017 at 12:45

1Muwatta' Malik doesn't include much more than 750 ahadith (prophetic traditions) -even in the biggest narrated version- from which al-Bukhari and Muslim have compiled more than 500. Most of the narrations in the book are fatwas and sayings of the sahaba.– Medi1Saif ♦Commented Dec 27, 2017 at 18:03

Beside both al-Muwatta' and sunan abi Dawod primarly include ahadith of ahkam (fiqh rulings). While all others have a bigger variety of content.– SassirCommented Dec 27, 2017 at 22:14
