Both Hadithand Sunnah, cover the
same ground and defining theprophets actions, sayings and silent
approval
SUNNAH & HADITH
In Islam, the Arabic word Sunnahhas come to denote the way
Prophet Muhammad (saw), the Messenger of Allah, lived his life.
The Sunnah is the second source of Islamic jurisprudence, the
first being the Quran.
Both sources are indispensable; one cannot practice Islam
without consulting both of them.
The Arabic word hadith(pl. ahadith) is very similar to Sunnah,
but not identical.
A hadith is a narrationabout the life of the Prophet (pbuh) or
what he approved - as opposed to his life itself, which is the
Sunnah as already mentioned.

THE ROLE OF SUNNAH
TO EXPLAIN THE QURAN
The Quran generally deals with the
broad principals or essentials of religion(going into details in vary rare cases).
The prophet generally supplied the
details, either by showing in his practice
(case of Solah / Zakat) or by giving an
explanation in words.

THE SECOND SOURCE OF ISLAMIC RULES
AFTER THE QURAN
Eg; Conversation between Muaz Ibn Jabal
and Rasulullah s.a.w when he was appointed
as Governor of Yemen (reported by Ahmad
and Tarmizy)
The Prophet enquired "How will you decide the cases?"
"I shall decide according to the Book of God", replied Muaz,
"And if there is nothing on the subject in the Book of God", asked the Prophet."Then according to the practice (Sunnah) of the Apostle of God", replied Muaz.
"And if there is nothing in the practice of the Apostle of God?" enquired the Prophet.
Then I will use my own judgment added Muaz.
Thereupon the Apostle of God said, "Praise be to God who enabled the envoy of the Apostle
of God to say what has satisfied him (Prophet)"

from person to person. The isnad are vital for
verifying the accuracy of individual hadith. An
isnad might go like this: Abdullah told Ali who toldYusuf who told Dawud... etc.

4. According to the nature of thematn and isnad, Munkar - denounced: is ahadith which is reported by a weak narrator, andwhose narration goes against another authentichadith.
Mudraj - interpolated: an addition by a reporter
to the text of the hadith being narrated.
5. According to the reliability andmemory of the reporters; the final
judgment on a hadith depends crucially on thisfactor: verdicts such as sahih (sound), hasan(good), da'if (weak) and maudu' (fabricated, forged)rest mainly upon the nature of the reporters in theisnad.

Uprightness:
1 Muslim Narration is not accepted from a non-Muslim even if he is one of thePeople of the Book.
2 Adult Narration should not be accepted from a child.
3 Sane Narration should not accepted from insane persons.
4 No Debauchery Debauchery is committing grievous sins or persistence in committingminor sins.
5 Magnanimity This condition stipulates that a narrator should behave in compliance
with the manner appropriate for his status. If he were, for example, ascholar, he should behave like a scholar. not trader. Therefore,scholars of hadith placed great emphasis on the moral aspect of thenarrator's character, including his honesty, trustworthiness andfreedom from all that is improper with the acceptability of narration,especially when it is related to religion and tradition reported fromthe Prophet (peace be upon him).

SUM-UP:
To abstract rules from the Quran,
hadith is the only way. Those who
try to understand the religion solely
without the hadith, he is not going
anywhere or he might go astray
(Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal).
