The first hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari, as well as Riyad as-Salihin, is as follows:
Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for."
In Arabic:

Hadith (حديث) means "saying", "phrase", "event", "occurrence", or in some cases "currently". However, the term Hadith is also used to refer to collections of stories about Muhammad from which an Islamic jurisprudential concept can be derived. The two most prominent Hadith collections are Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih al-Muslim.
1) Sahih Al Bukhari 2)Sahih Muslim 3)Sunan Abu Dawod 4)Sunan Al Sughra 5)Jami Al Tirmidi 6)Sunan Ibn Majah
The hadith book that is believed to be almost 100 percent authentic is Sahih al-Bukhari (صحيح البخاري‎). Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani quoted Aboo Ja'far al-'Uqailee as saying, "After Bukhari had written the Sahih, he read it to Ali ibn al-Madini, Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Yahya ibn Ma'in as well as others. They considered it a good effort and testified to its authenticity with the exception of four hadith. Al-'Uqailee then said that Bukhari was actually correct regarding those four hadith." Ibn Hajar then concluded, "And they are, in fact, authentic." Also, Ibn al-Salah said in his Muqaddimah: "It has been narrated to us that Bukhari has said, 'I have not included in the book al-Jami' other than what is authentic and I did not include other authentic hadith for the sake of brevity.'" In addition, al-Dhahabi said, "Bukhari was heard saying, 'I have memorized one hundred thousand authentic hadith and two hundred thousand which are less than authentic.'"
The most authentic bieng Al-Quran. Considered as The Word of God. Followed by the Sahih Bukhari and other Hadith, i.e sayings of the Prophets.
The names of the collections come from the fact that the collections were seen to refer to the roughly 10% of Hadiths that were accurate or sahih (صحيح) in Arabic. The second name refers to the scholar who compiled the list, al-Bukhari (البخاري) or al-Muslim (المسلم). The two scholars, even though they used the same method to determine which hadiths were sahih and which were not, came up with distinct lists of what hadiths they believed were sahih. While they agreed on a large number of hadiths, the disagreements are noticeable and this is why there are different hadiths in the different collection. Other hadith collectors, like Abu Darda have still other hadiths that they consider sahih, but are rejected by both al-Bukhari and al-Muslim.
The Hadiths. (These have been collected in several collections of which Sahih Al-Bukhari and Sahih Al-Muslim are the most respected.)
How many?If you mean how many hadith narrations there are, the answer is "lots", but sunni Muslims regard 5 hadith collections as Authentic narrations these include Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Imam Malik's Muwatta, Sunan Al-Tirmidhi, Sunan An-Nasai and Sunan Abu Daud. Collectively they have around thousands of hadiths.
The folowing books are the most famous collectings of the sayings of Hazrat Muhammad SAW.: 1. Al-Sahih Al-Bokhari 2. Al Sahih Al-Muslim, 3. Mota Imam Malik, 4. Tirmazi Sharif, 5. Ibn-i-Maja
The Sunni canon of hadith called the six major Hadith collections, includes: Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawood, Al-Sunan al-Sughra, Sunan al-Tirmidhi and Sunan ibn Majah.Imam al-Bukhari and Muslim Ibn Al -Hajjaj considered the most reliable leader ship of hadith collections.The canon shia collection or the four books are : Kitab al-Kafi by Muhammad ibn Ya'qub al-Kulayni al-Razi (329 AH), Man la yahduruhu al-Faqih by Muhammad ibn Babuya and Al-Tahdhib and Al-Istibsar both by Shaykh Muhammad Tusi. Shi'a scholars do not believe that everything in the four major books is authentic.
Revelations to Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him)It is believed by Muslims that the revelations were passed down to the prophet Muhammed (PBUH) via the angel Gabriel (Jibreel) A.SMany Hadith narrations including Sahih Al Bukhari, Chapter 1 Revelation, Hadith No.2 confirm this.
'Umar bin Al-Khattab narrated, "I heard Allah's Apostle salallahu alayhi wasallam saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for." (Sahih Al Bukhari, Book 1, Volume 1, Hadith 1) -------------------- Intention goes hand in hand with reward. This is the first hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari. It doesn't really fit in the first chapter, which is on Revelation, but it's definitely there for a reason. That reason being that, while the revelations are very important and beneficial to us, we must have the sincere intention to follow what is in the revelations. Our purpose in life is for Allah the Most High. Remember that, and in everything that you do, purify your intention and hope for the reward of Allah.
