Data Source:

The data was scrapped from Sunnah.com, and was converted to JSON format using a custom script. All scripts are available in the src folder.

Data Format:

The data is available in two formats:

  1. By Book: The Hadiths are grouped by book. See all Books in the db/by_book folder.
  2. By Chapter: The Hadiths are grouped by chapter. See all Chapters in the db/by_chapter folder.
  3. Next INSHALLAH will add more formats.

See all Types in the types/index.d.ts file.

Every Hadih is an object with the following format:

interface Hadith {
	id: number;
	chapterId: number;
	bookId: number;
	arabic: string;
	english: {
		narrator: string;
		text: string;
	};
}

  • npm install - Installs the dependencies.
  • npm run build - Compiles the TypeScript files to JavaScript.
  • npm run start - Starts the script that scrapes the data from Sunnah.com.
  • npm run dev:build - Compiles the TypeScript files to JavaScript in watch mode.

Notes:

  • In Musnad Ahmed, the chapters from 8 to 30 are missing in the source data. If you know better source for this book, please let us know.
  • The source code for scraping in the src directory is not perfect. I wrote it when I was a beginner to practice scraping. It needs refactoring. (BTW, it works fine 😅)
