Question:

What is the definition of Qudsi Hadeeth (sacred narration) and Prophetic Hadeeth (narration)?
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

Qudsi Hadeeth refers to the Hadeeth the wording of which is of the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) and the meaning is from Allah, The Almighty, or what Allah, The Almighty, revealed to the Prophet, by inspiration or in a vision, and the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) conveyed this meaning in his own words.

Prophetic Hadeeth refers to what is attributed to the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) including his sayings, actions, tacit approvals, physical and moral features, or matters that he intended to do. 

Allah knows best.
