- of the Prophet is the words, actions, or approvals of Prophet Muhammad. Hadith and the Quran are important sources of law in Islam. Additionally, hadith is equally important to introduce to children from an early age. Moreover, there are many hadiths of the Prophet that can accompany Islamic parenting. Therefore, the hope is that children can receive good religious education from an early age. Furthermore, this can also help in shaping the character and Islamic values within a child.

Formation of Good Character: Hadith contains teachings of morals and ethics that can help shape the character of children. Through hadith, children can learn about values such as honesty, sincerity, patience, and compassion. Islamic Religious Education: Hadith is the second legal source in Islam after the Qur'an. By understanding hadith, children can gain a deeper understanding of Islamic teachings and everyday practices that are in accordance with religious teachings.

Development of Love for Islam: Teaching hadith to children can help them develop a sense of love and affection towards the religion of Islam. This can serve as a strong foundation for understanding and practicing the teachings of Islam throughout their lives. Strengthening Islamic Identity: By knowing hadith, children can understand the history and core values of Islam. This can help them identify themselves as Muslim individuals who understand their religious heritage.

Planting Discipline: Some hadiths also include advice on self-discipline, responsibility, and good manners. Introducing children to such hadiths can help in forming positive habits and good attitudes. Development of Understanding Towards Religious Traditions: Hadiths can help children understand the religious traditions inherited from previous generations. This is an important step in preserving and respecting the values and teachings of Islam.

The hadith that explains about cleanliness, the Prophet Muhammad pbuh said: "Cleanliness is part of faith." (HR. Muslim) This hadith explains that as believers, it is necessary to maintain cleanliness. Both in oneself and in the environment.

Allah SWT greatly detests arrogance. The Prophet saw said: "He who has an atom's weight of arrogance in his heart will not enter Paradise." (HR. Muslim) Arrogance can be a barrier to entering Paradise. When a child is introduced to this characteristic that Allah SWT dislikes, they will learn to always respect others.

Children also need to be taught to always watch their language when speaking. As explained in the hadith that contains the message of the Prophet to 'Uqbah bin 'Amir as follows: "Control your tongue..." The tongue in expressing something should be trained from an early age. So, as they grow older, they are already accustomed to always be careful in speaking.

Children can also be taught about the characteristics of hypocrites through the following hadith: <آيَةُ الْمُنَافِقِ ثَلَاثٌ إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ وَإِذَا اؤْتُمِنَ خَانَ> Meaning: "The signs of a hypocrite are three: when he speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; and when he is entrusted with something, he betrays it." (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim)
