The Ruling on Naming the Hadith Qudsi

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a religious concern in calling a hadith "hadith qudsi"? Because we have found some who say it should not be called hadith qudsi, but rather hadith ilahi. Is this a correct statement? Does that mean all the previous scholars and the memorizers of hadith were wrong, except for this one person?
Answer:
This is one of the fabrications of some pretenders to knowledge in this age. It is called hadith qudsi by reference to al-quds, which is purity. Yes. This is the expression of the Salaf. Hadith qudsi is what is from the speech of Allah the Exalted and was narrated from Him by His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
