Al-Kawakib al-Darari fi Sharh Sahih al-Bukhari (Arabic: الكواكب الدراري في شرح صحيح البخاري), commonly known as Al-Kawakib al-Darari, is a classical commentary on Sahih al-Bukhari authored by the Shafi'i scholar Shams al-Din al-Kirmani. The work was written to provide a comprehensive explanation of Sahih al-Bukhari, addressing gaps and limitations in earlier commentaries, including those by Ibn Battal, al-Khattabi, and Mughultay. It was completed in 1373 CE in Mecca. A modern edition of the work was published in twenty-five volumes in Cairo between 1935 and 1945.
