I understand that you want English + Arabic, instead of Arabic + English just like in the link. To my knowledge there isn't any such utility so far, except for an old software that contains agreed upon hadith of Sahih al-Bukhari and Muslim. From the drop-down menu found at the right bottom corner, you can change the content from English to Arabic, or from Arabic to English.

to their Arabic equivalents here and navigate from there:

This is nice. Thanks.

So, if you have the English translation of a Hadith and you want to find the Arabic original, you will have to think of several Arabic key words for your hadith, and then use these Arabic key words to search for the Arabic text. You'll then need to compare the Arabic to your English translation to ensure that it is, in fact, the correct reference. It helps to have an Isnad for that, but you are unlikely to have one if your only reference is "Sahih Muslim" or something like that. People often do not give any more information that that.

This is much easier than when we had only printed reference books, but it still requires a pretty good knowledge of Arabic.

The only English translation of Sahih Muslim that I know of is by A H Siddiqui (Kazi Pubications, Karachi). This is a good translation. Unfortunately, most Internet sources do not give the names of translators, so it's difficult to know what you're getting or how reliable it is.

Salaam,
