Sources and review notes
All twelve reading cards include full Arabic narrations fetched from their exact individual Sunnah.com pages and checked against the canonical URLs and displayed references on 24 October 2026. Supplied chains and any trailing narration are retained; no variant has been substituted or combined with another. Sources reproduce primary reports from Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim on Sunnah.com. Authentication here rests on their inclusion in these canonical Sahih collections as received in mainstream Sunni scholarship, not a new grading by this author. Every reading has a canonical collection reference and a source ID resolving to its verified URL. Meanings are original selected English paraphrases, not full translations of the Arabic on the same cards; selections from longer reports are explicitly labeled. The Arabic is available within each lesson, and source links are optional verification only. Teaching applications, diagrams and all modern classroom scenarios are author-created, not additional hadith wording or religious rulings. The classical Arabic is transcribed from the cited reports; fictional classroom scenes remain clearly separate from it. No invented prophetic anecdotes, sacred illustrations or pronunciation audio are supplied. Visible Arabic passages preserve exact contiguous source wording, with whitespace normalization only; reviewed clause prefixes are restored from the full narration and outer unmatched closing quote or bidi artifacts are excluded from display. Full narrations and chains remain within the same reading cards; uncertain or incomplete matn boundaries retain the full text visibly. No chains, alternate routes or additional wording have been lost from the in-lesson full narration.
- Qualified teacher review is REQUIRED before teaching or publication. No scholarly approval has been obtained. Review the twelve meanings, their contextual limits and age suitability against the full Arabic reports included here; links are optional verification.
- The English meanings for Bukhari 1, Bukhari 6094, Bukhari 2363 and Muslim 1009 select portions of longer reports. Their Arabic narrations are included in full. Do not present the English selections as complete translations; an adult should preview and explain the surrounding context when appropriate.
- Bukhari 13 uses strong faith language. Teach its call to care without declaring a child outside Islam. Bukhari 6015 describes an expectation about neighbours, not a rule that neighbours automatically inherit.
- Bukhari 5376 is a specific meal report. A qualified teacher should guide applications involving ability, disability and other circumstances without humiliation or coercion.
- The calm-response sequence, safety boundaries, fictional dialogues and habit plans are educational applications, not narrated prophetic procedures. Do not attribute them to the Prophet.
- Full Arabic narrations are included alongside selected English meanings. This remains a meaning-led character course, not a complete hadith collection, legal manual or recitation course. External links are optional checks; qualified guidance supports language and interpretation.
- Native diagrams use abstract steps and familiar objects only. Existing shared cover and interface assets are assumed; no renderer or live WordPress integration was changed or tested.
