Detailed explanation-2: -Hadith, Arabic Ḥadīth (“News” or “Story”), corpus of the sayings or traditions of the Prophet Muhammad, revered by Muslims as a major source of religious law and moral guidance. It comprises many reports of varying length and authenticity. The individual reports are also called hadith (plural: hadiths).
