Ban on Hadith

The ban on Hadith is a historical tradition (Arabic: حديث, ḥadīth), which says that Umar, the second Caliph of the Rashidun Caliphate (ruled 634-644 CE) ordered a ban on the writing down of oral traditions about the Islamic Prophet Muhammad, who died in 632 CE. Although the tradition is prominently quoted and referred to, it was not given any formal name, in contrast to other Hadiths such as the Hadith of the pond of Khumm or the Hadith of Qur'an and Sunnah.
