The ruling on the wording and meaning of the Qur'an, and clarification of the difference between it and the Prophetic Hadith

Question:
And the correctness of the one who says that the Qur'an and the Sunnah, both their wording and their meaning, are from the Exalted, as evidenced by the fact that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to convey speech, he would say, "The Exalted said."

Answer:
Yes, the Qur'an: its wording and its meaning are from Allah without doubt; its letters and its meanings all belong to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). As for the hadith, it must be sifted. The hadith is divided into two categories: the Prophetic Hadith (hadith qudsi) and the Prophetic Hadith that is not qudsi. The hadith qudsi: its wording and its meaning are from Allah, like the Qur'an, except that it differs from the Qur'an in several things. The Qur'an: worship is performed by reciting it; the hadith qudsi: worship is not performed by reciting it. The Qur'an: every letter of it is a good deed, and a good deed is ten times its like. The hadith qudsi: the reward of reciting the Qur'an. The one in a state of major ritual impurity does not recite it, and the mushaf is not touched except by the purified, unlike a book of Prophetic Hadiths. If a book of Prophetic Hadiths were compiled, it would not take on the ruling of the mushaf. It is permissible for a person to touch it while in a state of major ritual impurity, and it is permissible to recite the hadith qudsi while in a state of major ritual impurity, and the menstruating woman recites it.
