Muhammad has made many laws binding upon the Muslim community, whether they were laid down in the Qur'an or are found in the canonical Muslim Traditions (hadith). It is important to observe that Muhammad made plenty of exceptions for himself. He disobeyed (a) the laws he had given himself, (b) the laws claimed to have been given by God in the Qur'an, and finally there are claims that God in the Qur'an gave him special permission to act differently than it is expected of all other believers.
