Hadith is the second sourcebook of Islam. It is second only to the Koran. Its influence is evident in religion, language, literature, culture, politics and sociology. The following is a brief discussion of the influences of the books of Hadith in various aspects:
First, the books of Hadith help us understand, interpret, comprehend and explain the meaning of the Qur’an. It can also be called the practical book of the Qur’an. This is because the language of the Qur’an is relatively more difficult than the language of the Hadith. The complex or mysterious sayings of the Qur’an were explained by the Prophet to his Companions in simple language and since they are collected in the Hadith, the Qur’an can be understood very easily by studying them. For example, the Qur’an mentions prayer, fasting, and zakat, but there is no clear explanation of how to observe them. The Prophet explained the practical aspects of these to his followers through his practice which are contained in the books of Hadith. Therefore, many aspects of Islam can be clearly understood by reading the books of Hadith.
Secondly, after the death of the Prophet, the scope of the Muslim society established by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) increased significantly during the reign of the Caliphs. As a result, the rulers faced various political and administrative problems. The rulers failed to solve all those problems through the Qur’an alone. Then they came up with the solutions to those problems in the light of the hadith. Even today, if a problem cannot be solved from the Qur’an, it can be easily solved with the help of Hadith.
Thirdly, the books of Hadith do not contain explanations only on religious matters, it also contains the works of the Prophet, the people associated with him, the Companions, the commands and prohibitions given by the Prophet to the Companions at different times, the wars fought by the Prophet, etc. Therefore, the Hadiths give us a clear idea of ​​the contemporary era of the Prophet, as well as of the major events of that time. Therefore, the hadith books also fill the gap in the history books of the period.
Fourth, the language of hadith has had an unprecedented impact on the Arabic language and literature. Before the advent of Islam, there was almost no prose literature in Arabic. Since the hadiths are written in prose, they have had a revolutionary impact on the development of Arabic prose. The simplicity and vividness of the language of the Hadith give the Arabic language a well-organized form. It has elevated the Arabic language to a dignified language by providing stability in terms of Arabic words, word formation and the meaning of words.
Fifthly, many biographical books have been written later based on the accounts of the Prophet’s Companions preserved in the books of Hadith. As a result, Arabic literature has been enriched.
Sixth, history literature has been written in later periods based on the wars and conflicts between Muslims and non-Muslims described in the Hadith.
Seventh, although the Qur’an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the Qur’an is not a biography of the Prophet. It does not tell us much about the personal life of the Prophet. However, since the books of Hadith contain every aspect of the life of the Prophet, one can learn about the social life, political life, moral life, religious life, etc. of the Prophet. This means that the complete biography of the Prophet can be learned by reading the books of Hadith.
The above discussion shows that the books of Hadith are of immense importance in the Islamic world from the perspective of religion, language and literature. 0 0 0. The Influences of the Hadith
