Quick fact: A Hadith Qudsi is a hadith in which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ says that this is the command of Allah, i.e., its meaning is from Allah and the words are from the Prophet ﷺ.

Explanation

A Hadith Qudsi is a hadith in which the Holy Prophet ﷺ narrates from Allah Almighty, saying, "This is the command of Allah." In it, the meanings are from Allah while the words are from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. It holds a special status between the Quran and the Prophetic hadith because the Quran's words and meanings are both from Allah, whereas in Hadith Qudsi only the meanings are from Allah.

Good to know

Hadith Qudsi is also called "Hadith Rabbani" or "Hadith Ilahi." The fundamental difference between the Holy Quran and Hadith Qudsi is that the Quran's words and meanings are both from Allah Almighty, while in Hadith Qudsi the meanings are from Allah but the words are from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The number of Hadith Qudsi is not large, and they are distinguished from ordinary hadith.
