How does Qaf verify hadith, quotations, and citations?
Qaf helps you check quotations through source passages and an AI-generated Hadith view. A hadith is a report of the words, actions, or approvals of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Qaf is instructed to cite the passages it uses. Select a book-name citation to open the passage and check it against the answer.
Select a highlighted hadith quotation to open the Hadith view.
The view shows:

- The narrators who passed on the report, when available.
- An explanation of the hadith under Explanation.
- The collections that record it under Sources.
- An alternative narration under Other Narration, when available.
Unknown means Qaf could not establish a grade.
