Qur'aan = Message from Allah brought down by Angels, written down during life-time of Prophet Muhammad(saw) & double-checked by him many times.
Sunnah = Actions of Prophet Muhammad, we learn sunnah from Hadees.
Hadees = Actions & sayings of Prophet as recorded by scholars like Imam Bukhari/imam Muslim/Abu Dawood etc, after hearing from chain of narrators & confirming their credibility. Hadees were NOT written during Prophet's lifetime but after his death.
e.g., Imam Muslim collected about 40,000 Ahadees initially & after doing credibility check from multiple sources, declared about 7000 as Authentic.
