The Hadith original language is Arabic and we decide to select English, French and Russian as extra languages for Hadith translation. Design the Hadith corpus will be in four steps, the first step is data collection, which will be from the internet because it is considered as the biggest corpora, second step cleaning the data, step three file generation and the last step is file annotation using XML. Keywords: Multilingual, parallel corpora, Ahadith, corpus, Hadith. 1.  INTRODUCTION There is persuasive evidence that  eht Hadith plays a crucial role in regulating Muslims life .A lot of work has been done in the creation of Arabic corpora like the big one created by Alrabia [2], but we notice that there is no special corpus for Hadith, on the other hand, we have more than one corpus special  for Quran[4] ,include Quran text [2] and one created for specific purpose like what Alfife did in his corpus[1].Hadith is the single word the plural is (Ahadith)[6], are words of prophet Mohammed(Peace be upon him ). The Hadith is considered as the second important book after the Quran for Muslims. In the Islamic Rules (Shree Al-Islamia), the Hadith is considered the second source of religious knowledge for Muslims besides that  Hadith contain teachings on all areas of Muslims  life mentioned by prophet Mohammed(Peace be upon him) words.The Hadith guides Muslims how to be good Muslims through the explanation of prophet Mohammed(Peace be upon him) to every necessary thing  in  Muslims life: how to eat, how to drink ,how to sleep, how to deal with other people, how to pray, how to obey Allah  and how to live a simple and  clear life , in other words prophet Mohammad explained every matter in Muslims life. Therefore, a multilingual Hadith corpus would be useful for Muslims all around the world as it will allow them to know what each word is, what it means, and what it teach us about our religion. 2.  IMPORTANT OF HADITH Hadith are mainly used and read in printed form, from printed books; this applies to original Arabic Hadith, and mores to translations into English, French and Russian.  Some Hadith books (or parts of books) have been scanned and put online; but these samples are on different websites, and no-one has collected together a set of Hadith in several languages in parallel corpora. 3.  PARALLEL CORPORA Parallel corpora are the corpus contains text from more than one language. In our MHC we had four version of text for each Hadith, started by Arabic (the original Hadith language), English, French and Russian. ISSN  2349-7831     International Journal of Recent Research in Social Sciences and Humanities (IJRRSSH) Vol. 3, Issue 2, pp: (100-104), Month: April 2016 - June 2016, Available at: www.paperpublications.org  Page | 101 Paper Publications 4.  MULTILINGUAL HADITH CORPUS We want to develop MHC that will  help Muslims reading the Hadith understand the meaning and moral that comes from each Hadith .Our MHC  contain   Hadith texts including their explanations, the semantics or meanings for each word and the full semantics or explanation of each Hadith verse. Building this corpus will allow Muslims who access it to use it to learn about the Hadith and the meanings of the words which come from the Hadith, as well as being able to find translations for it in English, French, and Russian. This MHC could be used by Muslims who want to learn or teach the Hadith and other people who want to know about Islam. 5.  METHODOLOGY Our plan is  to create the MHC in four steps, which we will describe further now: A. Data Collection: 1. Searching the internet consider as the biggest corpora, which we can derive our texts.  2. Selecting and organizing the texts, which will include written texts in multilingual Arabic, English, French and Russian. Text collection was done manually because the text was coming in different format like (.doc,.pdf). 3. The process for the (.doc) file was done smoothly copy and paste, on the other hand, the (.pdf) file it had to be converted first to editable text then we can copy it for that job we used Nitro Pro 10 converter. This software works perfectly with the English text but for Arabic and French, we have to run manually through the text for correction and make the text clean.  B. Data Cleaning: The cleaning mean remove the irrelevant data and disproportionate, as well as the data that we do not want Cleaning the data is considered as  time-consuming job because  it takes too much time and effort.  There are two ways to do that ;  1. Manually to remove the unwanted word or character, or to correct some wrong words ,or to replace one word by another word. 2. Automatically: by using find and replace tool available by Excel to do.  Replacement of  the wrong word by the right one  Replacement of character by another character C. File generation: Copying a text from the Internet and pasting it into Microsoft Word, every text was encoded choosing Unicode UTF-8.Finally, we had to clean data in the plain text saved into four  separated files:Arabic.txt see in (Figure.1), English.txt see in (Figure.2),French.txt see in (Figure.3)and Russian.txt see in (Figure.4), and the words in each file will be counted.                             Figure.1: Plain text for Arabic                                            Figure.2: Plain text for English  حدثنا قال سفيان حدثنا قال الزبير بن اللة عبد الحميدي حدثنا انة التيمي ابراهيم بن دمحم اخبرني قال االنصاري سعيد بن يحي الخطاب بن عمر سمعت يقول الليثي وقاص بن علقمة سمع وسلم علية اللة صلي  اللة رسول سمعت قال عنة اللة رضي كانت فمن نوي ما امري لكل وانما بالنيات االعمال انما يقول ما الي فهجرتة ينكحها امراة الي او يصيبها دنيا الي هجرتة الية هاجرOn the authority of Omar bin Al-Khattab, who said I heared the messenger of Allah salla Allah u alihi wa sallam say : (Actions are but by intention and every man shall have but that which he intended. Thus he whose migration was for Allah and His messenger, his migration was for Allah and His messenger, and he whose migration was to achieve some worldly benefit or to take some woman in marriage, his migration was for that for which he migrated.) related by Bukhari and Muslim ISSN  2349-7831     International Journal of Recent Research in Social Sciences and Humanities (IJRRSSH) Vol. 3, Issue 2, pp: (100-104), Month: April 2016 - June 2016, Available at: www.paperpublications.org  Page | 102 Paper Publications      Figure.3: Plain text for French            Figure.4: Plain text for Russian D. Data Annotation: To create the XML file for each Hadith we need to map each Arabic Hadith to the translation in the English, French and Russian. This work had done  manually to recheck that each Arabic Hadith match the same translation in the other languages because Hadith is very accurate text .we have  two  volunteers  for the French and Russian check text. Finally, after we had one excel file have all the mapping Hadith correctly. We notice from (Table-2) that we did not have the same number of Ahadith from all the Language for that reason we will consider only the minimum number of Ahadith which is English with 652 Hadith and we mapped it with all the 3 languages. Generate XML schema see(Table-1), for the data and apply it to the data in the excel file for each raw ,each raw will have the 4 text of Hadith from the different languages plus some information  about each Hadith like Hadith number, book name, book number see (Table-2),then save the file as (H_1_E_A_R_F.xml) indicate H for Hadith,1 was the Hadith number, E for English, A for Arabic text, F for French text and R for Russian text see (Figure.5). Consequently, we include 652 XML files.  6.  RESULT The result of this work is that we have MHC with around 2 Million words of Hadith from the four languages .Besides we have each hadith along with the four languages translation in one XML file as you see in Appendix-1.All the Ahadith from SAHAI ALBUKHARI only.Table-3 shows that number of Hadith differs and that is because not all the Ahadith from ALBUKHARI are translated into the other language, people can  select some texts of Ahadith and translated them. So we fail to find the translation for the entire ALBUKHARI book online. Le Commandeurdes Croyants, Aboû Hafç Omar ben El-Kattâb (que Dieu soit satisfait de lui) a dit: J`ai entendu l` Envoyé de Dieu, salla Allah u alihi wa sallam, (à lui, bénédiction et salut) dire: «Les actions ne valent que par leurs intentions "Leurs Niyates: « Chacun ne recevra la récompense qu`il mérite que selon ce qu`il a entendu faire. По свидетельству Эмира Правоверных , (  Титул халифов.) Абу Хафса Умара ибн ал-Хаттаба ( Второй халиф Ислама.) (да будет Аллах милостив к нему), который сказал: Я слышал, как Посланник Аллаха (да благословит его Аллах и да ниспошлет ему мир) сказал: Все действия - преднамеренны, и каждому воздается по его намерениям. Поэтому, у того, чье переселение (3Имеется  в виду религиозное переселение, в особенности из Мекки в Медину.)было ради Аллаха и Посланника Его, переселение будет ради Аллаха и Посланника Его,а у того, чье переселение было ради мирской выгоды или ради женитьбы, переселение будет ради того, ради чего он переселялся.

CONCLUSION The main goal of the current study is to design MHC. Thus, the building of the intended MHC will be a significant and worthy project. The proposed MHC has the potential to become a wonderfully useful source for the most Muslims around the world, as well as for other researchers from other religious backgrounds who are seeking information regarding the Hadith in different languages. For the future work the researcher recommends the following  the MHC can be extended to have Hadith in other languages, Hadith Explanation in other languages, and  Hadith classification can  be  done.
