Hadith

Hadith is distinguished from Sunna, which means normative practice. Hadith is a report about what Prophet Muhammad said about something, practiced or approved, or did not disapprove a certain thing. A science of Hadith criticism was developed to examine the normative value of a hadith and about the reliability of a hadith. A hadith report consists of two parts; first gives a list of narrators of the hadith and the second part the text. The jurists and the collectors of hadith differed in their criteria about the normativity of a hadith

Hadith

Hadith

The word hadith literally means communication or narration. In the Islamic context it has come to denote the record of what the Prophet (S.A.W.) said, did, or tacitly approved. According to some scholars, the word hadith also covers reports about the sayings and deeds, etc. Of the Companions of the Prophet in addition to the Prophet himself. The whole body of Traditions is termed Hadith and its science `Ilm al-Hadith.
