Hadith

The practices and traditions of the prophet (the sunnah), which include the hadith, are a guide to muslims in the understanding of the Qur'an and the practice of their religion. The Hadith are the gathered sayings of the prophet. In many hadith, the prophet reports what Allah said. They differ from the Qur'an in that the Qur'an is the word of Allah exactly as revealed. The hadith are considered to be the prophet's own words.
