What is Sera?

Submitted by Patrick (United States), Feb 13, 2009 at 14:53

I know that Hadith is an oral translation passed down over time that helps to define Sunnah. What is Sera? I read that both Hadith and Sera are considered to be corrupted and are looked at more or less as fairytales. Is this true? Please explain. TY.
