Hadith : Reports on the sayings and the traditions of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) or what he witnessed and approved are called Hadith. These are the real explanation, interpretation, and the living example of the Prophet (s.a.w.) for teachings of the Qur'an. His sayings are found in books called the Hadith books.
Some famous collectors of Hadith are Imam Al-Bukhari, Imam Muslim, Imam An-Nasa'i, Imam Abu Dawood, Imam At-Tirmizi, and Imam Majah. There are many others.

I can be wrong in this explanation, so if I am, please correct me:
Hadith and Sunnah are really close. So closely interwined, i dont know much difference between them. Hadith can be anything said by the prophet
. They can be practically anything. Whether it's an interpration of an Ayat, or just an explanation of a situation etc. Sunnah... is more what the Prophet did, and we try to apply ourselves in our actions. Of three types are ... (yikes, my own spellings) Cali, Fi'li, and Takriri.
Cali - being actions the Prophet personally said to do. ex - eating with the right hand is sunnah, as he said that
Fi'ili - those in action. Things the prophet personally did and someone saw and reported. ex - made the rows to prayer straight by patting the companions on the back etc...
and takriri - Approval by silence. things he saw, and did not speak out against shows his approval. ex - the man who did 2 rakah sunnah after fajr, and the prophet came up to him and told him that the sunnah of fajr was before and theh man said he did not pray them before, so he did them now, and the prophet was silent. Showing his approval/ or acceptance of the act.
((the examples are relative)) So sunnah is more like an act i suppose, something that is supported by hadith, but we should also strive to follow.
ok i'm going in circles. I'm sure this didn't make much sense. Sorry
hope you get a better answer
