What is Hadith Source?

Hadith Source is a searchable reference catalogue of narrations from well-known hadith collections, presented with available Arabic text, English translation and reference information.

Does a listing prove that a narration is authentic?

No. A listing identifies material in a source collection. Authentication can depend on the collection, chain, variant wording and scholarly methodology.

Why can numbering differ from another website or book?

Publishers and databases sometimes use different divisions and numbering systems. Compare the collection, book, chapter and text as well as the number.

Are the English translations definitive?

No translation captures every nuance of the Arabic. Translation wording may also differ by edition. Consult the Arabic and qualified scholarship when precision matters.

Can I request a correction?

Yes. Send the exact page URL, suspected error and a reliable comparison source through the contact page.

Does Hadith Source provide fatwas?

No. The site is a reference tool and does not provide personal religious rulings.
