Abstrak
Jonathan Brown is known as an orientalist who has converted to Islam and is still alive at the time this article was published. His thoughts on the study of Hadith did not escape in-depth research and studies. This research focuses on the canonization of the book Bukhari which is one of Jonathan's thoughts regarding the Hadith. This research which is a literature review concludes that in Jonathan's research, he borrowed the canonization methodology which is well known in the study of Christian theology. For Jhon, the book Sahih Bukhari can be the main source in prioritizing Hadith studies because it has gone through the stages of study and criticism from Hadith expert scholars who then created other books of hadith genres such as the books of 'ilal and mustakhraj. The role of al-Hakim became very important in spreading the book Sahih Bukhari.

Peran al-Hakim menjadi sangat penting dalam penyebaran kitab Shahih Bukhari.
