- 1). Cite the "Sahih Muslim" in-text first, using a parenthetical reference. Include the author's name and the page number, the chapter, or the book and number you are citing. If you use the page number, use no punctuation between the name and the number. If you identify a chapter or book and number, use a semicolon between the name and number. For example, after you refer to the text, write (ibn al-Hajjaj 63) to cite page 63; (ibn al-Hajjaj; ch. 7) to cite chapter 7; or (ibn al-Hajjaj; bk. 7 num. 3) to cite book 7, number 3.
- 2). Cite the "Sahih Muslim" in your works-cited section at the end of your paper. As a book with one author and a translator, cite it like this: Author. Title in Italics. Trans. Name. Volume number. Location: Publisher, Year. Print. For example: ibn al-Hajjaj, Muslim. Sahih Muslim. Trans. Abd-al-Hamid Siddiqui. Vol. 4. Ontario: Kitab Bhavan, 2000. Print.
- 3). Cite the "Sahih Muslim" like this if you are using an electronic edition of the book, omitting any information you do not have: Author. Title in italics. Trans. Name. Location of Print Publication: Print Publisher, Year. Name of Site in italics. Editor of Site. Publication date of site. Institution that Owns the Site. Date you accessed the site. For example: ibn al-Hajjaj, Muslim. Sahih Muslim. Trans. Abd-al-Hamid Siddiqui. Ontario: Kitab Bhavan, 2000. Biharanjuman.org. Bihar Anjuman. 2006. May 18, 2011.
