The author states that pre prophetic hadith referred to statements, deeds, and approvals of Muhammad before he got revelation from Allah. Meanwhile, post-prophetic hadith referred to hadith after Muhammad got revelation. As the finding, the author shows that pre prophetic hadith has some characteristics such as historical and personal-local which are referred to Muhammad biography including his personality and attitude. In the other side, the characteristic of post-prophetic hadith has more law or dogma because of its position as second source of Islamic law after Al-Quran.indWith permission of the license/copyright holderHadith TypologyHadith HistoryPre and Post-Prophetic HadithReligious ethicsSpirituality and ethicsMethods of ethicsGeneral and historicalPhilosophical ethicsJournal volume
