Level 1: Prophet's Wisdom

Books of Hadith

Hadith are the beautiful sayings and stories of Prophet Muhammad (SAW)—the best examples for us to follow!

What is Hadith?

Imagine if you could see everything Prophet Muhammad (SAW) did and said! That's what Hadith are. They are records of his:

Sayings
Actions
Approvals

The Siyasittah (The Big 6)

These are the six most famous and trusted books where scholars collected the Hadith.

Sahih al-Bukhari

The #1 most authentic collection! Imam Bukhari spent 16 years making sure every story was 100% true.

Sahih Muslim

Another high-quality book that works perfectly with Bukhari to teach us the right way.

Sunan an-Nasa'i

Focuses a lot on how to pray, fast, and do beautiful acts of worship every day.

Sunan Abu Dawood

Great for learning about rules and laws in Islam to keep everyone safe and happy.

Sunan al-Tirmidhi

This book has unique stories and tells us which Hadith are strong or weak.

Sunan ibn Majah

A wonderful collection with narrations we might not find in the other five books.

Chain of Strength?
Mutawatir

A Hadith told by so many people that it's 1000% certain to be true!

Dha'if (Weak)

A story where the record might have a tiny missing piece, so we are a bit cautious.

Fact!

Did you know Imam Bukhari memorized hundreds of thousands of Hadith? He wouldn't write one down unless he took a bath and prayed two rakats first!
