Authors

Abstract

Prophets’ hadiths are such hadiths narrated in Islamic Traditional books which narrate some words of divine prophets or ancient celestial books. Those hadiths are scattered on the one hand and on a variety of subjects on the other. Gathering and classification of those hadiths bear fruitful results. There are 1053 hadiths narrated from 34 prophets in Traditional books of them 60% deal with fundamental teachings, 27% with ethical issues, and 13% with rituals and precepts. This indicates that religions and teachings of divine prophets are the same as to fundamental teachings. There are numerous common points in ethical issues as well, and it is only in the precepts that some differences appear
