Morals education, which means doing what is good and moving away from what is bad, is an inseparable part of religious education. So, in the process of grounding morals education religious versicles and hadiths have a crucial and significant place.

So, the exam of prophet, whose morals is based on the Koran, became concrete through hadiths and it has a determinative role in establishing of personality of Muslims. In this study, we presented the full texts of original hadiths in main sources, which are sometimes shortened and used in order to present the main idea about the topic in 4-8th grade's textbooks in Education of Religion and Ethics.
