A hadith is the saying of the prophet. The hadith has two components, the matn, or the actual saying of the prophet, and the isnad, or the chain of narration. The matn can be a recording of something the prophet did, and often includes a story or background information on when and why the prophet said or did what is recorded. The isnad includes the person who allegedly saw or heard the events transcribed. | A hadith is the saying of the prophet.
