Summary
The claim that hadith emerged only after the Prophet's death and that the Quran is the sole revelation is rejected as an anti-hadith understanding. The article explains that the Prophet's role included teaching the Quran and wisdom, understood as the sunnah, and that hadith is also revelation from Allah conveyed through him. In the early period hadith spread through the memorisation and practice of the companions while the Prophet was still alive.
