صَحِيحِ — Sahih. A title-noun 'Sahih' (meaning 'sound/authentic') heading an 'of' chain; it drops its own 'the' and demands the following name to complete the book title. It wears the after-preposition ending set by the citation preposition. It is the first half of the book's name.
From: Trust and Piety →وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ فِي الصَّحِيحِ
And in a narration in the authentic collection:
الصَّحِيحِ — the authentic collection. This noun takes the definite 'al-' prefix marking it as a specific, recognized collection, and it sits in the genitive as the object of the preceding 'in'. Its definiteness signals a particular known source rather than just any book.
