A random hadith,

"‏ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي حَائِطٍ فَلاَ يَبِيعُ نَصِيبَهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَعْرِضَهُ عَلَى شَرِيكِهِ ‏"

That Allah's Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever has a partner in an orchard, then he is not to sell his share of that until he proposes that to his partner." [Abu 'Eisa said:] The chain of this Hadith is not connected. I heard Muhammad bin Isma'il saying: It is said that "Sulaiman Al-Yashkuri died during the lifetime of Jabir bin 'Abdullah." He said: "And Qatadah did not hear from him, nor did Abu Bishr." Muhammad said: "We do not know of any of them hearing from Sulaiman Al-Yashkuri except that 'Amr bin Dinar possibly heard from his during the lifetome of Jabir bin 'Abdullah." He said: "Qatadah only narrated from a writing of Sulaiman Al-Yashkuri, and he has a book from Jabir bin 'Abdullah." Abu Bakr Al-'Attar 'Abdul Quddus narrates to us, he said: " 'Ali bin Al-Madini said: 'Yahya bin Sa'eed said: "Sulaiman At-Taymi said: 'They went with the book of Jabir bin 'Abdullah to Al-Hasan Al-Basri and he took it' - or he said - 'and they reported it. Then they took it to Qatadah and reported it, so they gave it to me but I did not report it [he said: 'I refused it'] This was narrated to us by Abu Bakr Al-'Attar from 'Ali bin Al-Madini.

What is the hadith?

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 — explaining how to worship, treat others, and live with sincerity. Some narrations are classified as Hadith Qudsi, where the Prophet conveys words attributed directly to Allah.

Questions

Frequently asked

Everything you might want to know about how Random Hadith works and where our texts come from.

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 Abi Dawud, Jami' at-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.

Preserving the words of the Prophet for a new generation
