Question:

What is the difference — he [the questioner] asks, O Shaykh — between a Hadith Qudsi (Sacred Hadith) and a Hadith Nabawi (Prophetic Hadith)?

Answer:

A Hadith Qudsi is that whose wording and meaning are from Allah, Glorified and Exalted be He, and His Messenger ﷺ narrates it from Him.

As for the Hadith Nabawi (Prophetic Hadith), its meaning is revelation from Allah, but its wording is from the Messenger ﷺ.
