While I was reading about how did the tabi'in (people who lived with Muhammad SAW, during his life and after his death), compiled hadiths and Quran, I began to wonder :
"what is the difference of Quran and Hadith?"I know briefly from what I learnt in school, but I think I need a bit of research to assure myself and strengthen my faith. Sometimes we need those, right? Because we're a normal human being, sometimes our faith can be strong, sometimes it gets weak. So there comes the use of knowledge to rescue us!
There are differences between Hadith and Quran. The Quran is :
1. The words of God
2. Revealed in Arabic
3. In Rhythmical form
4. To Prophet PBUH
5. Its' recitation is used in form of worship such as Solah
6. It's smallest chapter is a miracle in it of itself
Now there are two kinds of Hadith ;
1. Hadith Qudsi
2. Hadith Nabawi
Hadith Qudsi is :
1. The words of God in the words of Prophet PBUH
2. In Arabic
3. It is not used in forms of worship
Hadith Nabawi is :
1. The words of the Prophet PBUH
2. In Arabic
3. Gives us extra details about the forms of worship we are to do that is not in the Quran
There are six major collections or books of Hadiths ;
1. Sahih Bukhari, collected by Imam Bukhari
2. Sahih Muslim, collected by Muslim
3. Sunan An-Nasa'i, collected by An-Nasa'i
4. Sunan Abu Dawood, collected by Abu Dawood
5. Jami al-Tirmidhi, collected by al-Tirmidhi
6. Sunan Ibn Majah, collected by Ibn Majah
Okay.. That's the brief explanation of hadith. Alhamdulillah my belief in Quran and Hadith is can't be doubt but I know there is something that I missed! Why are there different forms of Hadiths? Ohhh brain, come on, recall! At the first place I still can't get what really is the different of Quran and Hadith, in a simple understanding for me to strongly hold on to.
I can answer like in exams, list out differences of Quran and Hadith but if someone asks me to explain in a simple words, danggg. I can't. Clever me! (The words you use is a du'a, never say you're a fool hahaha :p)
Especially the parts of two types of hadith. Aaaa~ Seriously, what was it!?
The fundamental is very important for us to stack more and more things on top of it, and finally move towards the next stage right? Why why why and howw can I forget such basic.. T.T
Oh my Godd.. Now I realized how much left behind I am. Have been focusing on Dunyaa too much lately, I forgot to feed my soul. No wonder I get upset easily these days.. Huaaaa.. Thank you, alhamdulillah for showing me the pathway to find the guidance. Gonna bomber my friends with this later and come back!
