AL- SUNNAH Literally means; a way, rule, a manner of action or mode of life

Both Hadith and Sunnah, cover the In Islam, the Arabic word Sunnah has come to denote the way ground and defining the Prophet same Muhammad (saw), the Messenger of Allah, lived his life. prophets actions, sayings and silent The Sunnah is the second source of Islamic jurisprudence, the first being the Quran. approval
Both sources are indispensable; one cannot practice Islam without consulting both of them. The Arabic word hadith (pl. ahadith) is very similar to Sunnah, but not identical. A hadith is a narration about the life of the Prophet (pbuh) or what he approved - as opposed to his life itself, which is the Sunnah as already mentioned.

SUNNAH & HADITH

THREE CATEGORIES OF SUNNAH


Qaul; saying of the prophet which has influence a religious matters Eg: none of you (truly) believes until he wishes for is brother what he wishes for himself. Fiil; an action of the Prophet Eg: perform your prayer as you see me praying Taqrir; his silent approval of the action or practice of another Eg: case of Bani Quraizah case of Khalid eating Dhab

THE ROLE OF SUNNAH


TO EXPLAIN THE QURAN The Quran generally deals with the broad principals or essentials of religion (going into details in vary rare cases). The prophet generally supplied the details, either by showing in his practice (case of Solah / Zakat) or by giving an explanation in words.

THE SECOND SOURCE OF ISLAMIC RULES AFTER THE QURAN Eg; Conversation between Muaz Ibn Jabal and Rasulullah s.a.w when he was appointed as Governor of Yemen (reported by Ahmad and Tarmizy)
The Prophet enquired "How will you decide the cases?" "I shall decide according to the Book of God", replied Muaz, "And if there is nothing on the subject in the Book of God", asked the Prophet. "Then according to the practice (Sunnah) of the Apostle of God", replied Muaz. "And if there is nothing in the practice of the Apostle of God?" enquired the Prophet. Then I will use my own judgment added Muaz. Thereupon the Apostle of God said, "Praise be to God who enabled the envoy of the Apostle of God to say what has satisfied him (Prophet)"

THE AUTHORITY OF SUNNAH

"And whatever the Messenger gives you, take it, and whatever he forbids you, leave it. And fear Allah: truly Allah is severe in punishment. " (al-Hashr: 7)
Refer; Al-Imran: 132, Al- Nur :63, Al-Imran: 32

Quranic verses:

TRANSMISSION OF HADITH
The transmission of practices and sayings of the holy prophet from one person to another. e.g.: remember this words and report it to those whom you have left behind e.g.: Go back to your people and teach them these things e.g.: he who is present here should carry this message to those who is absent

COMPONENTS OF HADITH ISNAD: Chain of reporters / chain of transmission from person to person. The isnad are vital for verifying the accuracy of individual hadith. An isnad might go like this: Abdullah told Ali who told Yusuf who told Dawud... etc. MATAN: Text / the narration itself. One famous anthology of hadith is that of Bukhari.

Example of Hadith

MUSTALAH AL-HADITH (CLASSIFICATION OF HADITH)


Mustalah books speak of a number of classes of hadith in accordance with their status. The following broad classifications can be made: Classification of Hadith

1. According to the reference to a particular authority


Four types of hadith can be identified.
Qudsi - Divine; a revelation from Allah (SWT); relayed with the words of the Prophet (PBUH). Marfu - elevated; a narration from the Prophet (PBUH), e.g. I heard the Prophet (PBUH) saying ... Mauquf- stopped: a narration from a companion only, e.g., we were commanded to ... Maqtu' - severed: a narration from a successor.

Example of Hadith Qudsi


2. According to the links in the isnad, i.e. whether the chain of reporters is
interrupted or uninterrupted, e.g. musnad (supported), muttasil (continuous), munqati' (broken), mu'allaq (hanging), mu'dal (perplexing) and mursal (hurried).

3. According to the number of reporters involved in each stage of the isnad, e.g. mutawatir
(consecutive) and ahad (isolated), the latter being divided into gharib (scarce, strange), 'aziz (rare, strong), and mashhur (famous).

Example of Mutawatir

4. According to the nature of the matn and isnad, Munkar - denounced: is a


hadith which is reported by a weak narrator, and whose narration goes against another authentic hadith. Mudraj - interpolated: an addition by a reporter to the text of the hadith being narrated.

5. According to the reliability and memory of the reporters; the final


judgment on a hadith depends crucially on this factor: verdicts such as sahih (sound), hasan (good), da'if (weak) and maudu' (fabricated, forged) rest mainly upon the nature of the reporters in the isnad.

TRUSTWORTHINESS OF NARRATORS
Character of the narrators; morally and religiously satisfactory, reputation for truthfulness had the ability to transmit what they heard Competent witness (whose testimony accepted in the court of Syariah law) Uprightness:

Uprightness:

1 Muslim 2 Adult 3 Sane

Narration is not accepted from a non-Muslim even if he is one of the People of the Book. Narration should not be accepted from a child. Narration should not accepted from insane persons.

4 No Debauchery
5 Magnanimity

Debauchery is committing grievous sins or persistence in committing minor sins.


This condition stipulates that a narrator should behave in compliance with the manner appropriate for his status. If he were, for example, a scholar, he should behave like a scholar. not trader. Therefore, scholars of hadith placed great emphasis on the moral aspect of the narrator's character, including his honesty, trustworthiness and freedom from all that is improper with the acceptability of narration, especially when it is related to religion and tradition reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him).

REPORT IS NOT ACCEPTED UNDER ANY OF THESE CIRCUMSTANCES;


1. Apposed to (recognized) historical fact 2. the reporter was a Shiah and the hadith was a nature of accusation against the companion / family 3. time and circumstances of the narration contained evidence of forgery 4. it against reasons/the basic teaching of Islam

5. if an incident happened and would have been known to / reported by a large number but the incident was not reported by anyone except the particular reporter 6. the word were not in accordance with Arabic idiom or the subject mater was against the prophet dignity 7. if it contained threatening of heavy punishment for ordinary sins or promises of mighty reward for a slight good did 8. if the narrator confessed that he fabricate the report

SUM-UP:
To abstract rules from the Quran, hadith is the only way. Those who try to understand the religion solely without the hadith, he is not going anywhere or he might go astray
(Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal).
