Dataset Card for QuranLab — Hadith & Sunnah (Ahl al-Sunnah)

A clean Ahl-al-Sunnah hadith corpus: the canonical Sunni collections (the Six Books + the Muwaṭṭaʾ, Musnad Aḥmad, al-Dārimī, and the famous forty-collections) in Arabic plus many translations, with grader-attributed gradings and honest per-row provenance — one config per (collection × language). This is the audio/text family's hadith modality — companion to quranlab/quran (Qurʾan text) and quranlab/quran-audio (recitation).

QuranLab is a volunteer, non-commercial, community-service project. This dataset is offered freely to students, researchers, and developers building tools for studying the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ. It is strictly Ahl al-Sunnah wa'l-Jamāʿah: sources outside Sunni orthodoxy (the Shia canon, Ibāḍī, Ahmadiyya, hadith-rejecter framings) are excluded by design.

What's inside

13 collections — Arabic + translations + grades. Most collections (the Six Books, the Muwaṭṭaʾ and the forty-collections) come aligned across languages with multi-grader gradings from fawazahmed0/hadith-api; Musnad Aḥmad and al-Dārimī are Arabic matn from the open mhashim6/Open-Hadith-Data (ODbL-1.0/DbCL-1.0); plus a many-language graded selection from HadeethEnc:

On grading. Gradings are grader-attributed, never asserted by us, and never auto-stamped. The four Sunan, the Muwaṭṭaʾ and the forty-collections (from fawazahmed0) carry per-hadith gradings from multiple muḥaddiths (al-Albānī, Aḥmad Shākir, Zubair ʿAlī Zaʾī, …) in the grades column; every HadeethEnc row carries a grade + attribution. The two Ṣaḥīḥs are ṣaḥīḥ by Sunni consensus (a collection-level note in the collections config). The Arabic matn of Musnad Aḥmad and al-Dārimī (mhashim6) is left ungraded — we don't hold per-hadith grades for it, so we assert none.

Graded multilingual layer — HadeethEnc (72 languages)

In addition to the Arabic Nine Books, this dataset includes 3,574 curated, authentic prophetic hadith in 72 languages from HadeethEnc.com (the Encyclopedia of Translated Prophetic Hadiths — a service of IslamHouse / the Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs), one config per language (hadeethenc-<lang>). Unlike the Arabic matn spine, every HadeethEnc hadith carries a grade and an attribution (e.g. Authentic, Agreed upon), reproduced verbatim with attribution and version. Each row: hadith_key, hadeethenc_id, language, title, text, intro, grade, grader, grade_source, attribution_text, explanation, status, theological_status, source, license, attribution. Reproduced under HadeethEnc's open-with-attribution terms; removal on request.

Quick start

from datasets import load_dataset

# Default: a slim cross-collection index of every hadith
index = load_dataset("quranlab/hadith")

# One collection — Arabic, and an aligned translation (join on hadith_number)
bukhari_ar = load_dataset("quranlab/hadith", "bukhari-ar", split="train")
bukhari_en = load_dataset("quranlab/hadith", "bukhari-en", split="train")

# A graded Sunan — the `grades` column carries multiple muhaddith verdicts
tirmidhi = load_dataset("quranlab/hadith", "tirmidhi-en", split="train")

# The collection registry (authors, types, counts, languages, status notes)
collections = load_dataset("quranlab/hadith", "collections", split="train")
# Graded, multilingual selection (HadeethEnc) — e.g. English / Turkish
he_en = load_dataset("quranlab/hadith", "hadeethenc-en", split="train")
he_tr = load_dataset("quranlab/hadith", "hadeethenc-tr", split="train")

Within a fawazahmed0-sourced collection, the Arabic and each translation align by hadith_number (the standard Abdul-Baqi / sunnah.com numbering). The primary keys are hadith_key ("{collection}:{number}", citable) and urn (a stable unique integer per row).

Structure & fields

index (default) — slim cross-collection spine (one row per hadith, Arabic): hadith_key, urn, seq, collection, collection_type, hadith_number, language, n_languages, n_chars, has_grade, has_text.
collections — one row per collection: id, names (ar/en), author, death year (AH), type, school, hadith count, languages, n_languages, graded, numbering, source, status_note.
{collection}-{lang} — one config per (collection × language). fawazahmed0 collections carry: hadith_key, urn, seq, collection, language, hadith_number, number_sort, book_number, in_book_number, text, grades (a list of {grader, grade}), n_grades, grade_summary, numbering, status, theological_status, source, license, attribution, commercial_ok. mhashim6 Arabic (ahmad-ar, darimi-ar) is matn-only (ungraded). HadeethEnc (hadeethenc-{lang}) adds title, intro, grade, grader, grade_source, attribution_text, explanation.

hadith_number is a string (numbering follows the source edition); urn is the unique row id; seq is a contiguous 1..N spine within each edition.

Scope, sources & licensing

Theology: strictly Ahl al-Sunnah. Excluded by design (see the project's governance): the Shia Four Books and other Shia/Ismāʿīlī collections, Ibāḍī (Musnad al-Rabīʿ), Ahmadiyya, Quranist/hadith-rejecter sources, and hostile-orientalist grade framings.
Arabic matn: public domain. Musnad Aḥmad & al-Dārimī from mhashim6/Open-Hadith-Data (ODbL-1.0/DbCL-1.0); the other collections' Arabic via fawazahmed0/hadith-api (PD matn, standard numbering). commercial_ok = true for Arabic.
Translations (full collections): included for many languages via fawazahmed0/hadith-api. Translations + gradings are © their authors (translators / publishers such as Darussalam; the muḥaddith graders) → per-row reference-only + attribution + notice-and-takedown; the Unlicense on the source repo covers only its code, not these. commercial_ok = false.
Graded multilingual selection: verbatim, version-pinned hadith from HadeethEnc.com (IslamHouse / Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs) — many languages, each with a grade + attribution — reproduced under their open-with-attribution terms.
Roadmap: more Tier-2/3 collections, a per-hadith cross-collection xref graph, and a rijāl (narrator) layer. Binding terms are always stated per row (license, source, attribution).

For rights holders. To request removal of any row, please open the dataset's Community (Discussions) tab; we act on such requests promptly.

Acknowledgments

With gratitude to mhashim6/Open-Hadith-Data for the open Arabic matn, and to the scholars and institutions who have preserved and transmitted the Sunnah across the centuries. Above all, this is offered seeking the pleasure of Allah.
