Explain any four methods by which Hadith was transmitted during the life
of Prophet Muhammad. (P.B.U.H)

Answers

Kavungya
i. The Holy Prophet himself used to give instructions with regard to the transmission of what
he taught. Thus when a deputation of the Rabi'a came to wait upon him in the early days of
Medina, the Prophet concluded his instructions to them with the words: "Remember this
and report it to those whom you have left behind"
ii. Again, there is ample historical evidence that whenever a people embraced Islam, the Holy
Prophet used to send to them one or more of his missionaries who not only taught them the
Holy Quran but also explained to them how the injunctions of the Holy Book were carried
out in practice.
iii. It is also on record that people came to the Holy Prophet and demanded teachers who
could teach them the Quran and the Sunnah: "Send us men to teach us the Quran and
the Sunnah"
iv. The companions of the Holy Prophet were fully aware that his actions and practices were
to be followed in case an express direction was not met with in the Holy Quran.
v. When Mu'adh ibn Jabal was appointed governor of Yemen by the Holy Prophet, and was
asked as to how he would judge cases, his reply was "by the Book of God." Asked again if
he did not find a direction in the Book of God, he replied, "by the Sunnah of the Apostle of
God." The Sunnah was therefore recognized as affording guidance in religious matters in
the life-time of the Holy Prophet.
vi. Through the verbal teachings by the Prophet and the Sahaba.
vii. Through practical demonstration by the Prophet.
viii. Through recitation by those who had memorized them.
ix. Through written medium.
x. Through lectures in Mosques.
xi. Through centres of learning (Sufahaa) AhlulSufaa.
xii. Through recitations during gathering and festivals.
