Hadith
[a legend]. The traditions about the prophet Mahomet's
sayings and doings. This compilation forms a supplement to the Koran,
as the Talmud to the Jewish Scriptures. Like the Jewish Gemara,
the Hadith was not allowed originally to be committed to writing, but
the danger of the traditions being perverted or forgotten led to their
being placed on record.
