    Study Notes

    Sunnah and Hadith Overview

    • Sunnah: Refers to the Prophet's (S.A.W) practices, sayings, and tacit approvals.
    • Hadith: The reported and recorded form of Sunnah. Also known as Khabar.

    Literal Meaning

    • Sunnah: individual practice, custom of society, or tradition of many generations
    • Hadith: a saying, a piece of information

    Technical Meaning

    • Sunnah:
      • Sayings of the Prophet (S.A.W)
      • Practices of the Prophet (S.A.W)
      • Tacit approvals of the Prophet (S.A.W)
    • Hadith: The reported and recorded form of Sunnah.

    Arguments for Authenticity

    • Deductive: Obeying Allah and the Messenger leads to mercy. This means that Allah preserves and revealed the Qur'an and that is preserved. The hadith are a reminder of the same.
    • Inductive: Care was taken to preserve authentic hadith through historical record by successive generations of the Muslim Ummah.

    Compilation Periods

    • Age of the Prophet (S.A.W) and companions: Memorization, discussion, practice, writing (by Ali, Abdullah Ibn Amr ibn Al-Aas, Abu Hurairah)
    • Age of Tabi'een and Tabi' Tabi'een: Compilation by Hassan al-Basri, Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri, Hammam Ibn Munabbih (student of Abu Hurairah R.A), Al-Mu'atta of Imam Malik, Musnad of Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal.
    • Third Century Hijri (Golden Period): Collection of six authentic books: Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawood, Sunan Nisaai, Jami' Tirmizi, Sunan Ibn Majah (also known as The Six Authentic Books).

    Classification of Hadith (by number of narrators)

    • Mutawatir: Narrated by a large number of reliable individuals at each stage that makes fabrication impossible.
      • Two Types:
        • Verbal Mutawatir: Examples include the last sermon of Prophet (S.A.W) and saying "Whoever invents a lie and attributes it..."
        • Conceptual Mutawatir: Related to daily prayers, punishment in grave
    • Wahid: A hadith that is not mutawatir.
      • Further Classification:
        • Mashhur: Narrated by at least three narrators at each stage of narration
        • Azeez: Narrated by at least two narrators at each stage of narration
        • Ghareeb: Narrated by at least one narrator at each stage of narration

    Two Parts of Hadith

    • Sanad:  Chain of Narration
    • Matan: Text of Hadith

    Conditions for Khabar Wahid Hadith

    • Sanad (Chain): Complete, without flaws, narrators with good character & memory
    • Matan (Text): Supported by evidence from the Quran & other ahadith, actual facts

    Classification of Hadith (by quality)

    • Sahih: Authentic (meets all criteria for evaluation)
    • Hassan: Good (meets most criteria but one narrator lacks good memory)
    • Zaeef: Weak (broken chain, narrator who committed sin)
    • Mawzu: Fabricated (wrongly attributed to the Prophet)

    Important Categories

    • Only Sahih and Hassan accepted in important religious matters
    • Za'eef can be used as supportive information, not the main source.
