Hadith are collections of apocryphal sayings of Muhammed. There are literally hundreds of hadith and multiple translations of most, no one can really know them all. There are six or seven major hadith, I forget. Hadith are mostly used by clerics to interpret the will of Allah as reflected by Muhammed; different sects place different amounts of emphasis on each major hadith, so the hadith, and the post-Muhammed clerics who compiled them, are what define the various sects. Not many Muslims are actually familiar with a large number of them, and then usually only those considered important to their particular sect, so it's not unusual for Muslims to know little or nothing of hadith. Also they tend to place Muhammed in a light not flattering by modern standards - Muhammed is in no wise a man to compare with Jesus or Moses or Buddha, but is thoroughly a man of his times, violent and self-serving as any - so it's not something most Islamic clerics really push their wards to read unless they want radicalized followers. Most probably prefer to push Muhammed through the Quran, which casts him a better light. Note though that the hadith are used to form Islamic law - that is, to determine the proper interpretation and limits of Sharia.
Routan, it's very difficult to provide specific examples as I largely gave up visiting sites in Islamic countries a couple years ago. I used to frequent many political and military sites in Pakistan, Turkey, Jordan, Iran and Russia, but had to give them up because I kept getting nasty viruses with which my anti-virus software was not yet familiar. But I'll give you this.
This is a quote from Abdul Rauf in Al-Ghad (Jordan) as translated by Walid Shoebat:
"People asked me right after the 9/11 attack as to why do movements with political agendas carry [Islamic] religious names? Why call it ‘Muslim Brotherhood’ or ‘Hezbollah (Party of Allah)’ or ‘Hamas’ or ‘Islamic Resistance Movement’? I answer them this—that the trend towards Islamic law and justice begins in religious movements,because secularism had failed to deliver what the Muslim wants, which is life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
In America Rauf has limited himself to refusing to call out these groups as terrorist organizations, saying only "it's complicated." However in Arabic he refers to them as "the trend towards Islamic law and justice."
Walid Shoebat is an ex-PLO terrorist who, to make amends, now makes his living speaking out against terrorism and exposing those who give aid and comfort to terrorist organizations.

If you want to see for yourself what Islamic leaders are saying for domestic consumption, try these sites, but remember - you are warned. Viruses in these countries are often not yet defined and protected against in Western countries. I long ago deleted the worst though, these are
relatively safe. If you read Arabic or Farsi, look for those news sites as the English versions are often sanitized. If not, you'll have to decide for yourself whose translations you believe.
