The Qudsi Hadith: Is It Truly the Speech of Allah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it correct to say that the Qudsi hadith is truly the speech of Allah, not a narration or a meaning, but that it is not miraculous in its wording?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. The Qudsi hadith is truly the speech of Allah. It is truly the speech of Allah, narrated by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) from his Lord. The Messenger narrated it from his Lord and conveyed it to his Ummah. However, it does not take on the rulings of the Qur'an, such as the prohibition of touching it without being in a state of ritual purity, or the other rulings that apply to the Qur'an. It is the speech of Allah, yes.
