The answer

The Noble Quran is the word of Allah, revealed for its miraculous nature and for worship through its wording and meaning. The Qudsi: Its meaning is from Allah, and its wording is from the Prophet, peace be upon him. The Prophet narrates it from his Lord, and it is not for worship through its wording or for its miraculous nature. The Prophetic Hadith: What is attributed to the Prophet, peace be upon him, whether it be a saying, an action, or an approval. The Quran is the noblest of types, followed by the Qudsi, then the Prophetic. The difference between the Qudsi and the Prophetic: The Qudsi is attributed to Allah (Allah the Almighty said), whereas that wording is not mentioned in the Prophetic. The Prophetic includes actions and approvals, unlike the Qudsi, which is only verbal. The Hadith Qudsi is not sufficient in prayer in place of the Quran because its wording is not for worship.
