Like Judaism with its Talmud, and Christianity with its lives of saints and writings of Church fathers, Islam has supplementary sacred texts, chief among which is the hadith, a collection of sayings and stories about the Prophet.

就像犹太教有塔木德，基督教有圣人的生平和教父的著作一样， 伊斯兰教有补充的神圣文本， 其中主要的是圣训， 它是关于先知的格言和故事的集合。
