Summary
A hadith qudsi is a hadith attributed to Allah, narrated by the Prophet with a chain of transmission. Scholars differ on its definition: al-Jurjani holds that its meaning is from Allah while its wording is from the Prophet, whereas Sheikh Abd al-Majid al-Ghauri states that both meaning and wording are from Allah. Unlike the Qur'an, a hadith qudsi is not recited in prayer and reciting it is not an act of worship. Unlike a prophetic hadith, it is attributed to Allah and is revelation, while a prophetic hadith is attributed to the Prophet and may be his own ijtihad.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hadith qudsi merupakan kalam Allah (kata-kata Allah) iaitu makna dan lafaznya daripada Allah SWT.
