Learning About Ahadith

‘There is a great reward for reading the Noble Qur’an
 in terms of coming closer to Allaah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala, 
as is reading and memorizing the Hadeeth of the Messenger of Allaah 
-sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam
And this is because it is worship of Allaah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala 
(in pursuit of) acquiring knowledge 
and a greater understanding of the religion.
Shaykh, Allaama, Mufti of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Abdul Azeez bin Abdullaah Bin Baz

Learning about Ahadith

Ahadith (singular: hadith) are narrations of things that Prophet Muhammad said, did, or approved of, in other words, things that form  his "sunnah."  As Muslims, we first and foremost take our knowledge from the Quraan and Sunnah. So, it is important to learn about ahadith, which transmit the sunnah to us.

This post contains resources to help teach kids about ahadith.

    Two Points of Interest Regarding “Saheeh al-Bukhaaree” & “Saheeh Muslim”

    Excerpts:

    Scholars unanimously agree and consider “Saheeh al-Bukhaaree” and “Saheeh Muslim” to be the most authentic written works of Hadeeth.

    It should not be understood that “Saheeh al-Bukhaaree” and “Saheeh Muslim” encompass every authentically reported statement of Allaah’s Messenger (صلّى الله عليه وسلّم). Rather, there are many authentic Hadeeth collected by other scholars that neither one of them (al-Bukhaaree & Muslim) recorded in their collections.
