• A Hadith is a transmitted account of the Prophet's ﷺ qawl, fiʿl, taqrir, or hal.
• Qawl means saying, fiʿl action, taqrir approval, and hal a quality or state.
• Not every religious statement is Hadith; ask whether it is transmitted concerning the Prophet ﷺ.
• Attribution to the Prophet ﷺ and reliable verification are two different questions.
