The old testament is a different material from the New Testament.
Quran = Allah's words
Hadith = Gives more indepth historical details to the circumstances surrounding as to why Allah said those things in the Quran, in relations to what incident, or what situation
Hadith is a Guide to understand Allah's correct interpretation.
Compared to
Old Testament = What happened in the older times of Christianity
New Testament = Jesus time
Two completely different things.
The NT and the OT are not completely different. The OT was written to portray Gods will for the word before Christ, and man inevitably failed to meet that criteria. The NT was written with the coming as Christ so that man had his chance at redemption for failing to meet the creed God'set forth in the OT. In fact, the OT laid the foundation for much of NT seeing as they both represent the Holy Bible. What changed is that when Christ came around is that God became more merciful towards man, and Christianity lost its rep for brutality and violence for whatever reason.

Yes but you don't use the New Testament to understand or reference to what the old Testament is saying. Or the other way round at all. They are two different books, telling two different stories of a different era in Christian History.
Whereas a Hadith and Quran are on synchronized timeline.

According to religionfacts (and others) - quote:
In Islam, the sacred text called the "Hadith," which is Arabic for "narrative" or "report," is a record of Islamic tradition: it is a record of the words and deeds of the prophet Muhammad, his family, and his companions. It is the second most important text in Islam next to the Quran. Although not regarded as the spoken Word of God like the Quran, the Hadith is an important source of doctrine, law, and practice.
It is "revered in Islam as a major source of religious law and moral guidance" and has been studied in Muslim religious colleges since the Middle Ages by both male and female scholars.
So, the Quran is the 'spoken word of God' and the Hadiths are the recorded words and deeds of the prophet Muhammad.
In essence, they are not second-hand accounts like they are in a christian bible.
And from everything I've read, the Hadiths are as important as the Quran itself.
An interpretation is still an interpretation, no matter how you spin it. It's a second hand account that has been translated hundreds of times throughout history. Eventually believers are going to pick and choose at what works best for them in that time period. I would sooner put my faith in a divine, original, doctrine, like the OT, than I would a second doctrine or interpretation written many years later.
