Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is the difference between the Qudsi hadith and the Qur'an? Is it an act of worship to recite it?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not like the Qur'an. The Qudsi hadith includes authentic, weak, and fabricated reports, depending on its chain of narration. As for the Qur'an, no one casts doubt on its authenticity or its attribution to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
The questioner:
Is it an act of worship to recite the Qudsi hadith, like the Qur'an?
The Shaykh:
No, reciting the Qur'an is an act of worship, but the Qudsi hadith is not. Do you mean reciting it in prayer? That is not permissible.
