HadithLab — the Sunnah and its commentary. Nine hadith collections with the Arabic source text, gradings by hadith scholars, full chains of narrators and classical commentary. WHAT'S INSIDE • Over 65,000 hadith from nine collections: both Sahihs, the four Sunans, Musnad Ahmad, Muwatta Malik and Sunan al-Darimi. • Every grading carries the scholar's name and, where known, the book it comes from. A verdict without an author carries no weight in this field and is not shown. • Chains of narrators with a tap-through to each narrator: generation, dates, reliability rank and what the critics said about him. • Commentary: Fath al-Bari and other sharh works, together with the edition's own footnotes. Passages that depart from the creed of Ahl al-Sunnah are marked in the text itself, with the scholars' response beside them. • Takhrij: the same hadith across other collections, with honest counts — "first 40 of 192", not just "40". • Rare-word glossary and the benefits scholars drew from each hadith. SEARCH • By words or exact phrase — across the Arabic text and the translation. • By meaning: ask in your own words and find the hadith even when those words don't appear in it. • Jump by number: type "Bukhari 8". READING • Real Arabic typography: Amiri, Noto Naskh or Scheherazade, with full diacritics and correct direction. • A fully Arabic interface with mirrored layout — not translated labels, but a different reading mode. • Light, sepia and dark themes; text size and diacritics to taste. • Bookmarks, reading history and saving hadith for offline reading. ABOUT THE TRANSLATION The Russian translation is machine-assisted and serves as an aid, not a replacement for the original. The disclaimer sits next to every translation, not once in the settings. No ads, no accounts, no personal data collection.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: HadithLab at Free against Сахих Аль's $1.99. HadithLab also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). Сахих Аль's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (52 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
