Meaning of Hadeeth

· 3 Rabiʻ I 1442 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Are the stories in Fadhail e Aamal and Fadhail e Sadaqaat considered Hadith? Can we say that these are Hadiths?

Answer

Hadeeth are the statements of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) or his actions and his affirmation. The other stories are either experiences of pious people, Tabieen, etc. They should not be called hadeeth.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
