Template documentationUsage
This:
{{Quote hadith |Ibn Abbas |text=One day, I was... |ref=<ref>abc</ref> |Sunni=as [[Sahih]] |SunniS=[[Sahih Muslim]] |Shia=as [[da'if]]}}
gives this:
A hadith attributed to Ibn Abbas reports:[1]
Sunnis tend to view this as Sahih and have included it in Sahih Muslim.
Shi'as tend to view this as da'if.
All parameters are technically optional, except for the |text= parameter (which can also be given as |quote=, |content=, or |matn=).
The |ref= parameter is for the source of the hadith text (for additional sourcing, see below). Use <ref> markup around what you supply to the |ref= parameter: |ref=<ref>{{cite web | [details here...] }}</ref>
Another example:
{{Quote hadith |text=One day, I was... |ref=<ref>abc</ref>}}
gives this:
To provide citations specifically for the claims about Shia or Sunni treatment, use |ShiaRef= and |SunniRef=, respectively. They take the same format as |ref=, e.g.: |ShiaRef=<ref>{{cite web | [details here...] }}</ref>
{{Quote hadith |Ibn Abbas |text=One day, I was... |ref=<ref>abc</ref> |Sunni=as [[Sahih]] |SunniS=[[Sahih Muslim]] |SunniRef=<ref>lmnop</ref> |Shia=as [[da'if]] |ShiaRef=<ref>xyz}}
gives this:
A hadith attributed to Ibn Abbas reports:[3]
Sunnis tend to view this as Sahih and have included it in Sahih Muslim.[4]
Shi'as tend to view this as da'if.[5]
There is also an |Arabic= or |ar= parameter, for the original Arabic text:
{{Quote hadith |Someone |text=The English text here |ref=<ref>abc</ref> |Arabic=أحاديث ضعيفة وموضوعة - إسلام ويب - مركز الفتوى}}
gives this:
A hadith attributed to Someone reports:[6]
Arabic: أحاديث ضعيفة وموضوعة - إسلام ويب - مركز الفتوى
Combined example:
{{Quote hadith |Someone |text=The English text here |ref=<ref>abc</ref> |ar=أحاديث ضعيفة وموضوعة - إسلام ويب - مركز الفتوى |Sunni=as [[Sahih]] |SunniS=[[Sahih Muslim]] |SunniRef=<ref>lmnop</ref> |Shia=as [[da'if]] |ShiaRef=<ref>xyz</ref>}}
gives this:
A hadith attributed to Someone reports:[7]
Arabic: أحاديث ضعيفة وموضوعة - إسلام ويب - مركز الفتوى
Sunnis tend to view this as Sahih and have included it in Sahih Muslim.[8]
Shi'as tend to view this as da'if.[9]
Citations emitted by the above examples:
Citing sources
If you use the |ref= parameter, the <ref> markup is not optional.
If you do not use it, then a {{Citation needed}} tag will be emitted instead. If you've already provided a citation, e.g. because you're quoting several hadiths back-to-back, you can suppress that with |cn=no.
The side template {{Hadith USC}} can be used to supply online-accessible citations for some hadiths. As of 2019, the original site hosting them is defunct, so only those recoverable with Web.Archive.org are usable.
It is also best to provide citations for any claims made about the acceptance of this hadith by Sunni and Shia muslims, with the parameters for this (|SunniRef=, |ShiaRef=). Not doing so won't emit citation-needed tags, since the first source cited (in |ref=, for the hadith text itself) may also be a source for these claims.
