To try to understand the Quran except in the light of hadees would cause sectarianism. Without hadees we wouldn’t know how to perform them, which makes hadees indispensable for following the Quran. There are three fundamental differences between the Quran and the hadees. One: The Quran is the verbatim speech of God; whereas the hadees is a record of paraphrased reports of sayings and deeds of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Three: The Quran is a coherent book, whereas the hadees literature is a compilation of random and miscellaneous reports, usually lacking the complete contexts.
