WHY THE QURAN IS THE BEST HADITH?

God's testimony is the greatest.  Unlike man made books of hadith (sayings attributed to Prophet Muhammad), God witnessed the transmission of the Quran to Muhammad and us. 

[6:19] Say, "Whose testimony is the greatest?" Say, "GOD's. He is the witness between me and you that this Quran has been inspired to me, to preach it to you and whomever it reaches. Indeed, you bear witness that there are other gods beside GOD." Say, "I do not testify as you do; there is only one god, and I disown your idolatry."

Unlike man made hadith books, the Quran is consistent. The Quran is the best hadith.

[39:23] GOD has revealed herein the best Hadith; a book that is consistent, and points out both ways (to Heaven and Hell). The skins of those who reverence their Lord cringe therefrom, then their skins and their hearts soften up for GOD's message. Such is GOD's guidance; He bestows it upon whoever wills (to be guided). As for those sent astray by GOD, nothing can guide them.

Unlike man made hadith books, the source of the Quran is God almighty.  Muhammad received it through angel Gabriel.

[2:97] Say, "Anyone who opposes Gabriel should know that he has brought down this (Quran) into your heart, in accordance with GOD's will, confirming previous scriptures, and providing guidance and good news for the believers.

 

Unlike man made books of hadith, Muhammad wrote down the Quran by himself.  God was his teacher.

[25:5] They also said, "Tales from the past that he wrote down; they were dictated to him day and night

[29:48] You did not read the previous scriptures, nor did you write them with your hand. In that case, the rejectors would have had reason to harbor doubts.

[55:1] The Most Gracious.

[55:2] Teacher of the Quran.

[68:1] NuN, the pen, and what they (the people) write.

[68:2] You have attained a great blessing from your Lord; you are not crazy.

[96:1] Read, in the name of your Lord, who created.

[96:2] He created man from an embryo.

[96:3] Read, and your Lord, Most Exalted.

[96:4] Teaches by means of the pen.

Unlike the man made hadiths, the Quran is the only preserved book.

[15:9] Absolutely, we have revealed the reminder, and, absolutely, we will preserve it

The Quran recognizes the Quran as the only genuine hadith.

[7:185] Have they not looked at the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all the things GOD has created? Does it ever occur to them that the end of their life may be near? Which Hadith, beside this, do they believe in?

[12:111] In their history, there is a lesson for

those who possess intelligence. This is not fabricated Hadith; this (Quran) confirms all previous scriptures, provides the details of everything, and is a beacon and mercy for those who believe.

[31:6] Among the people, there are those who uphold baseless Hadith, and thus divert others from the path of GOD without knowledge, and take it in vain. These have incurred a shameful retribution.

[39:23] GOD has revealed herein the best Hadith; a book that is consistent, and points out both ways (to Heaven and Hell). The skins of those who reverence their Lord cringe therefrom, then their skins and their hearts soften up for GOD's message. Such is GOD's guidance; He bestows it upon whoever wills (to be guided). As for those sent astray by GOD, nothing can guide them.

[39:29] GOD cites the example of a man who deals with disputing partners (Hadith), compared to a man who deals with only one consistent source (Quran). Are they the same? Praise be to GOD; most of them do not know.

[45:6] These are GOD's revelations that we recite to you truthfully. In which Hadith other than GOD and His revelations do they believe?

[52:34] Let them produce a Hadith like this, if they are truthful.

 [68:44] Therefore, let Me deal with those who reject this Hadith; we will lead them on whence they never perceive.

 [77:50] Which Hadith, other than this, do they uphold?
