Random Hadith — Your Daily Source of Islamic Wisdom
Welcome to Random Hadith, a free online random hadith generator built for Muslims and learners who want authentic guidance every day. Each visit presents a carefully sourced narration from major collections — giving you a fresh hadith of the day in Arabic and English, complete with book, chapter, and reference details so you always know where the teaching comes from.
What Is the Hadith?
If you have ever asked, "what is the hadith?" — the answer is simple. A hadith is a recorded saying, action, or approval of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Alongside the Quran, the hadith forms the foundation of Islamic hadith scholarship and daily Muslim practice. Hadiths explain how to worship, treat others, and live with sincerity. Some narrations are classified as Hadith Qudsi, where the Prophet (peace be upon him) conveys words attributed directly to Allah — among the most spiritually moving texts in the tradition. For a deeper explanation of types, chains of narration, and major collections, visit our What is Hadith guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about hadith, Hadith Qudsi, and our random hadith generator.
What is hadith in Islam?+
In Islam, a hadith is a recorded saying, action, approval, or characteristic of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Alongside the Quran, hadith forms the foundation of Islamic guidance — explaining worship, ethics, family life, and daily conduct. Scholars preserve hadith through verified chains of narrators so Muslims can follow authentic prophetic teachings with confidence.
What does hadith mean?+
The Arabic word hadith literally means speech, report, or narration. In Islamic usage, it refers to the transmitted reports about what the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, did, or approved. When Muslims ask what hadith means in Islam, they are usually referring to these prophetic narrations that complement and explain the Quran.
What is Hadith Qudsi?+
Hadith Qudsi (also called a sacred hadith) is a special category in which the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) conveys words attributed directly to Allah, while the wording of the narration itself belongs to the Prophet. Unlike Quranic verses, Hadith Qudsi are not part of the Quran, but they carry profound spiritual meaning and are studied alongside other authentic narrations.
How many hadith are there?+
There is no single fixed number because hadith exist across many collections compiled over centuries. The six major Sunni books alone contain tens of thousands of narrations, with significant overlap when the same report appears in multiple sources. Random Hadith draws from verified entries across Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawood, Sunan al-Tirmidhi, Sunan an-Nasa'i, Sunan Ibn Majah, and related collections.
How does the random hadith generator work?+
Random Hadith selects an authentic narration from our verified database each time you visit the homepage or click New Random Hadith. Every result includes the Arabic text, English translation, book name, chapter, and reference number. You can bookmark or share the unique URL so the same hadith stays available whenever you return.
