The authentication of hadith became a significant discipline, focusing on the ''isnad'' (chain of narrators) and '' matn'' (main text of the report). This process aimed to address contradictions and questionable statements within certain narrations. Beginning one or two centuries after Muhammad's death, Islamic scholars, known as muhaddiths, compiled hadith into distinct collections that survive in the historical works of writers from the second and third centuries of the Muslim era ( 700−1000 CE).

Qalb
In Islamic philosophy, the qalb () or heart is the center of the human personality. The Quran mentions "qalb" 132 times and its root meaning suggests that the heart is always in a state of motion and transformation. According to the Quran and the traditions of Muhammad, the heart plays a central role in human existence, serving as the source of good and evil, right and wrong. In Islam, GOD is more concerned with the motives of one's heart than their actions. The heart is also a medium for GOD's revelations to human beings, and is associated with virtues such as knowledge, faith, purity, piety, love, and repentance. Without purification, however, the heart can become plagued with negative attributes such as sickness, sinfulness, evil, and hate. Theologically, the heart is regarded as the barzakh or isthmus between this world and the next, and between the visible and invisible worlds, the human realm, and the realm of the Spirit.
