Meanings of Sunnah and Hadith

Sunnah means the Prophet's saying, what he did and what his Companions did and to which he showed no objection. There are three things dealt with here: speech, action and acceptance of action by others. Sometimes, we say hadith and mean what the Prophet said to his Companions about matters of practice, belief and other matters of daily life. Sunnah is the second source in Islamic belief and law, the first source is the Quran. Sunnah is to Quran an explanation or interpretation.[]
