Reading a hadith reference

A useful hadith reference identifies its collection and the numbering system used. Different editions may number the same report differently, so save the exact source alongside any quotation.

Your study session

1. Open the source’s explanation of numbering.
2. For a report chosen by your teacher, record the collection, reference and translator.
3. Keep any grading or explanatory note attached to the report.

Use the activity to prepare one specific question. Keep the source reference attached to any quotation, distinguish your observations from the author’s claims, and agree on a next step with your teacher.
