The definition of Qudsi and Prophetic narrations

Question

What is the definition of Qudsi narrations and Prophetic narrations?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

Definition of Qudsi narration: It is a narration whose wordings are from the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) but its meaning is from Allaah. Or it is what Allaah informed his Prophet by insight, or through a dream, and then the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) expressed that meaning with his own wordings.

Definition of Prophetic narration: It is any sayings or acts, which is attributed to the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) or anything he approved of, and any physical description about him or about his conduct and morals.

Allaah Knows best.
