Chanzo hakirekodi daraja lolote kwa hadithi hii.
Chini ya kila hadithi kuna tafsiri ya seti ya data yenyewe, ikionyeshwa kama ilivyo. Haitaji mfasiri, haki zake hazijathibitishwa, na hakuna aliyeilinganisha na Kiarabu; baadhi ya hadithi hazina tafsiri. Kiarabu ndiyo maandishi yenyewe. Seti ya data haina tafsiri ya kitabu hiki katika lugha hii, hivyo Kiingereza kinaonyeshwa.
Maandishi ya Kiarabu, namba, majina ya vitabu na madaraja vinaonyeshwa sawasawa na vilivyo katika seti ya data iliyo wazi (hadith-api). Sabīl bado haijathibitisha usahihi wake wala haki zake, na uhakiki wake wa wanazuoni haujaanza. Hadi hapo, linganisha hadithi na toleo lililochapishwa kabla ya kuitegemea.
