Question<\/h3>\n

1. What is a hadith-e-qudsi<\/em>?<\/p>\n

2. What is its status in the Qur\u2019an and the Sunnah?<\/p>\n

3. Sometimes we describe the meanings and crux of what Allah said in the <\/div>\n
Qur\u2019an instead of providing with complete verse. For this we use “Allah says this” or similar expressions. Maybe prophet (sws) did the same in ahadith<\/em> and people mistakenly considered it as revelation of Allah which is not in the Qur\u2019an and called it hadith-e-qudsi<\/em>?<\/div>\n

Answer<\/h3>\n

Thank you for writing to us. Hadith-e Qudsi<\/em> is something that the Prophet (sws) attributed to Almighty Allah yet it does not form the part of the Qur\u2019an. He usually explicitly starts with the words: God says this and this. The source of the Prophet’s knowledge can be the Qur’an but often it is not. There are ahadith-e qudsi<\/em> which cannot even remotely be attached to the Qur’an.<\/p>\n

Like all ahadith<\/em>, qudsi<\/em> ahadith<\/em> have also been transmitted by individual to individual (ahad<\/em>) narrators. They are at best zanni<\/em> (probable) and one must interpret them in the light of the Qur\u2019an and the Sunnah. <\/div>\n
