Hadith

I hope i posted this in the right forum.
I'm planning to read the Quran soon. I already have the Tarif Khalidi's English translation. Not sure if its the best. And another English Quran (by Muhammad Muhsin Khan) is also in my wishlist. If you have a better recommendation then do let me know here.

Do you think its important to go thru the Hadith as well? If so, should i read it before or after reading the Quran?
I would prefer a simple English translation. Thanks.

I think it is. But not all hadiths are equally important. I suggest become acquainted also with prayers taught by Ahlulbayt (a), for example Sahifa Sajjadiya.

A good site for prayers taught by Ahlulbayt (a) is: duas.org
