The phrase Ahl al-Hadeeth (people of hadeeth) refers to a group who venerate the Sunnah and seek to propagate it. They adhere to the beliefs of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

 

In seeking to understand their religion, they refer to the Qur’an and Sunnah and the interpretation of the best generations. They are not a sect but they represent the mainstream of Islam. It is the saved group and the victorious party as referred to in the hadith of the Prophet “A group of my ummah will continue to prevail, following the truth. They will not be harmed by those who humiliate them until the decree of Allah comes to pass when they are like that.” (Muslim)

 

Due to the spread of many deviant sects and sufi leanings in the Muslim world, many people try to distort the reality of Ahl al-Hadeeth. I suggest you should ask your husband on Ahl al-Hadith and it is further preferred to discuss with him how should he lead his spousal life with you according to the Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet.

 

Allah Almighty knows best.
