THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt. 7th day of Dhul-Qa'adah, 1444AH (Saturday, 27th May, 2023).
*_THE MEANING OF QURAN, HADITH QUDSI, AND HADITH AN-NABAWI CONTINUES_*. BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem.
Yesterday, we reminded each other about what the Qur’an is. Let's continue on the Dhikr (The Reminder): ALLAH (Al-Fattah, The Granter of Succes) says:
"Verily, I revealed the Dhikr, and verily I will preserve it."
[Noble Qur’an 15:9]. Alhamdulillah.
The Prophet's divinely inspired statements, which were recorded by his followers, are generally referred to as Hadiths. For example, the Prophet's companion, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab may ALLAH be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet once said, 'Verily, deeds are (judged) by their intentions. However, in some of his statements, the Prophet (peace be upon him) attributed what he said revealed from ALLAH but not part of the Qur'an; for example, another companion, Abu Hurayrah, reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, " ALLAH, Most High, says, 'I am as My slave thinks of Me and I am with him when he remembers ME. So if he remembers ME to himself, I will remember him to MYSELF, and if he remembers ME in a group, I will remember him in a better group.'
In order to distinguish this type of hadith from the previous type, it is referred to as hadith qudsi (sacred hadith), and the former referred to as hadith nabawi (prophetic hadith).
The Qur'an is not the same as hadith qudsi for a number of reasons. First, the Qur'an is from ALLAH both in its wording and in its meaning, while in the case of hadith qudsi, its meaning is from ALLAH but its wording was the Prophet's (peace be upon him).
The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said, "Whoever reads a letter from the book of ALLAH, the Most High, will get a good deed (recorded for him), and each good deed is worth ten times its value. I am not only saying that Alif Laam Meem is a letter, but I am also saying that Alif is a letter, Laam is a letter, and Meem is a letter." So to just recite Alif Laam Meem, you are rewarded with 30 good deeds. AlhamdulilLah, ALLAHU AKBAR.
*_May ALLAH keeps guiding us all and increase us in beneficial knowledge of the Qur'an_*. Aameen.
