About the Hadith Search tool
A hadith is a recorded saying, action or approval of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. Together with the Quran, the Sunnah is a main source of guidance. This tool lets you search by a topic such as kindness, prayer or charity and read matching hadith.
Each result shows the Arabic where available, a translation in the language you pick, the narrator, the collection and the grade. Grades such as sahih, hasan and da'if describe how strong the chain of narration is. Results come from collections and, in some cases, from an AI helper that is labelled.
Use the tool to find and read. To act on a hadith, especially for a ruling, confirm its authenticity and meaning with a qualified scholar.

Tips for good results
- Try one clear word, such as patience, before a long sentence.
- Look at the grade before sharing a hadith, and share the collection name with it.
- Read the whole text, because a short quote can lose its meaning.
- Use Today's Hadith for a short daily reading.
Common mistakes
- Quoting a hadith without checking its grade or source.
- Using a weak hadith as the basis of a ruling.
- Searching with a full question when a single keyword works better.
- Treating an AI-assisted result as a replacement for the original collection.
Common questions
What do the hadith grades mean?
Sahih means authentic, with a reliable chain. Hasan means good. Da'if means weak. Scholars use these grades to decide how a hadith can be used.
Which books are the most relied on?
Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim are widely regarded as the most reliable. Other well-known collections include Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Nasai, Ibn Majah and the Muwatta of Malik.
Can I act on a weak hadith?
Scholars have different views, and some allow it only for encouraging good deeds. For any ruling, ask a qualified scholar.
Why are some results labelled AI?
When a topic has few matches, an AI helper may suggest text. Those results are marked, and you should confirm them against the original collection.
Is the Arabic changed in any way?
No. Arabic text is shown as published. Only the translation language changes.
