Sources — QuranLab — Hadith & Sunnah

QuranLab is a volunteer effort. Our aim is to present these sources carefully and at high quality, and to help them travel faithfully — in the spirit in which they were written — not to claim them as ours.

None of this is ours. Every work here belongs to the scholar who wrote it and to the people who took the trouble to make it readable by a machine — often quietly, for years, without being asked. What we did was gather, align and check. What follows is who to thank.

The projects this dataset rests on

• fawazahmed0/hadith-api — Ḥadīth collections aligned across languages, with multi-grader gradings.
• mhashim6/Open-Hadith-Data — Arabic matn for Musnad Aḥmad and al-Dārimī (ODbL-1.0 / DbCL-1.0).
• HadeethEnc.com — A graded, many-language selection of prophetic ḥadīth (IslamHouse / Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs).

Which work came through which project, and on what terms, is recorded for every config in LICENSES.md and the tables under metadata/.

Consulted, but never quoted

Some things we read carefully and published nothing from. They helped us decide what a work is, who wrote it, and where a passage belongs — and then we set them down. We name them because using something and reproducing it are different acts, and both should be said out loud.

• Quranpedia — It told us where one commentary's passages belong, and confirmed the school of two authors. Not a word of it is in the data.
• TDV İslâm Ansiklopedisi — Our first stop when we needed to be sure who an author was and where he stood. Read, never reproduced.
• sunnah.com — Each ḥadīth carries a link to its page there, and nothing more — their text and gradings stay theirs.
• Scholarly studies and critical editions — Consulted whenever a work's standing needed better evidence than our own reading. Cited in metadata/.

If we got something wrong

If you hold rights to a work here, or we have credited someone poorly, write to us on the Community tab of quranlab/hadith. A removal request is honoured promptly and without argument; a correction is welcomed with thanks.
