A hadith (Arabic: حَدِيْث, pronounced: "ha-deeth") is a saying attributed to Muhammad, a prophet of Islam. In English, the word hadith is also used as the plural word for a group of these narrations, although the plural in Arabic is a-HAA-deeth.
For most self-identified Muslims, hadiths are used along with the Qur'an to interpret Sharia. Sunnis follow the Kutub al-Sittah; Shias follow the Kutub al-Arba'a; Ibadis follow Tartib al-Musnad. Hadiths attributed to Abu Hurairah are the most common hadiths in Sunnism. Unlike the Qur'an, hadiths are not universally accepted by Muslims;[1][2][3] some Muslims claim that most hadiths are fabrications (pseudepigrapha)[1] created in the 8th and 9th century AD, and which are falsely attributed to Muhammad.[2][3][1]
