Definition of Qudsi and Prophetic Hadeeths

Question

What is the definition of Qudsi Hadeeth (sacred narration) and Prophetic Hadeeth (narration)?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

Qudsi Hadeeth refers to the Hadeeth the wording of which is of the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) and the meaning is from Allah, The Almighty, or what Allah, The Almighty, revealed to the Prophet, by inspiration or in a vision, and the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) conveyed this meaning in his own words.

Prophetic Hadeeth refers to what is attributed to the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) including his sayings, actions, tacit approvals, physical and moral features, or matters that he intended to do.

Allah knows best.
