About the Hadith Database
يَسْتَضِيءُ بِهِ مَنْ وَلَجَهَا
I am among you like a lamp in the darkness.
Whoever enters the darkness sees by its light.
فَإِنَّكُمْ سَوْفَ تَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَيْهَا
احْتَفِظُوا بِكُتُبِكُمْ
الْمِصْبَاحُ هُوَ الْعِلْمُ
مَثَلُ نُورِهِ كَمِشْكَاةٍ
وَنُورُ الْأَبْصَارِ
إِنَّ الْعِلْمَ حَيَاةُ الْقُلُوبِ
فَسَوْفَ تَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَيْهَا
احْتَفِظُوا بِكُتُبِكُمْ
وَأَمْرُكُمْ رُشْدٌ
كَلاَمُكُمْ نُورٌ
يُحْيِي الْقُلُوبَ
إِنَّ حَدِيثَنَا
الْعَقْلِ
الْعِلْمُ مِصْبَاحُ
يُحْيِي الْقُلُوبَ
إِنَّ حَدِيثَنَا
ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ عُبَيْدُ بْنُ زُرَارَةَ
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ابْنُ فَضَّالٍ
وَأَمْرُكُمْ رُشْدٌ
كَلاَمُكُمْ نُورٌ
across the globe, word by word.

About us
The Hadith Database is an open-source project, built in collaboration with the Academy for Learning Islam. We started it in 2017 with one goal: to make the hadith of the Ahl al-Bayt easy to search and read online, in Arabic and English, for anyone, anywhere. Its code is public, where anyone can follow the work or contribute.
Every narration and every narrator record is also open to developers through a free public API, and to AI assistants through our connector at rewayaat.info/mcp.

The narrations are collected from translations of the primary sources, in print and online, and their contents and translations remain the responsibility of those sources. Some features, such as links between similar narrations, are generated with AI and may contain mistakes.
