Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

This dataset was curated to provide a comprehensive, bilingual collection of authentic hadiths from 14 major books for use in AI applications, particularly:

Islamic question-answering systems
Religious chatbots and virtual assistants
Cross-lingual information retrieval systems
Educational tools for Islamic studies

The parallel English-Arabic structure makes it especially valuable for developing systems that can process and respond to religious queries in multiple languages.

Source Data

Data Collection and Processing

The hadiths were collected from reliable Islamic sources and digitized with careful attention to authenticity and accuracy. The processing workflow included:

Extraction of hadiths from original Arabic sources
Verification against authenticated collections
Alignment with established English translations
Structuring into a consistent JSON format
Assignment of unique identifiers for cross-referencing
Organization by book, chapter, and narrative chain

The dataset maintains the original chapter structure of each book, preserving the contextual organization of the hadiths as intended by their original compilers.

Who are the source data producers?

The original hadiths were compiled by renowned Islamic scholars including Imam Bukhari, Imam Muslim, and others who meticulously collected and verified these narrations during the formative period of Islamic scholarship. The digital compilation and structuring was performed by Slepovichev Ivan, drawing from established translations and digital Islamic libraries.

Intended Uses

This dataset is specifically designed for:

Training AI models to answer questions about Islamic teachings based on authentic hadiths
Developing conversational agents that can discuss Islamic topics with proper scriptural references
Creating search and retrieval systems for Islamic knowledge
Supporting comparative religious studies and research
Enabling multilingual access to hadith literature

Researchers and developers can use this dataset to train models that provide evidence-based responses to religious queries, with the ability to cite specific hadiths as sources for the information provided.
