Defending Imam Syafiee From Anti Hadeeth Lies

I shall try to bring u a point-by-point rebuttal against
an article written by Anti Hadeeth (AH) against the good
name of Imam Syafiee. Mind u this is an original article
taken from the Sangkancil mailing list and can be read at
http://www.malaysia.net/lists/sangkancil/2000-11/frm00590.html

I shall post it in a statement then rebuttal format, so
that you will be able to get a clearer picture. Each and every
rebuttal will start with the phrase “MY REPLY”.
Dear readers,


==================================================================
(Start)

AH writes: THE WORD ‘AL-HEKMAH’ (WISDOM) IN THE QURAN -
By A. Mohammed

EXPOSING THE BULLSHIT OF SYAFIE AL KHADDAB.
(Note - the A Mohamed who wrote this is not me Ali bin Mohd.
This is sourced from elsewhere).

Due to the fact that the Quran did not contain any mention
of the words ‘Sunna’t Muhammad’, the ardent Sunni’s found
it necessary to manipulate the meaning of some Quranic
words so as to create a Quranic reference to their cherished
‘hadith’ and ‘Sunna’. The word on which they base their
claim is that of (Al-Hekmah) as found in a number of verses
as:

"Remember God’s blessings upon you, and what He sent down to
you of the ‘Al-Ketab’ and ‘Al-Hekmah’ to enlighten you with it."
2:231
==================================================================

My Reply: The Quran doesn’t say “Mushaf Uthmani, as well, but
the Anti HAdeeth uses them all the time. The fact that the writer
quotes the above verse and labels it as “2:231” shows that the AH
writer is using the Mushaf Uthmani

==================================================================
AH writes: Literally speaking, the meaning of ‘Al-Ketab’ is the book
(theQuran), and ‘Al-Hekmah’ is wisdom. Nevertheless they interpret
‘Al-Hekmah’ here to mean the Sunna of Muhammad. However, with a close
inspection of the Quranic verses, it can be shown that this
interpretation is a total corruption. This is due to the following
reasons:

==================================================================
My Reply: We shall see who is the corrupted one.

==================================================================
AH Writes:

ONE :The word ‘bihee’ (with it) that appear at the end of the verse,
is in the singular mode, in other words it describes one thing and
not two. For that reason the words ‘Al-Hekmah’ and ‘Al-Ketab’ must
denote one thing and not two, unless of course God is making
grammatical mistakes!

If the words ‘Al-Hekmah’ and ‘Al-Ketab’ really referred to the
Quran and the Sunna, then the verse should grammatically end with
the word ‘bihima’ (with them), which is the plural mode of ‘bihee’.

==================================================================

My Reply: This is the same point raised by Farouk Peru before.
The answer is the Dhamir Muttasil “hi” refers to “ma” in verse.
It doesn’t refer to “Al Hekmah” and Al Kitab” but Ism Mausul “ma”
in the verse.

==================================================================
AH Writes:

TWO :The word ‘Al-Hekmah’ is used throughout the Quran as
an adjective of the ‘Al-Ketab’ (the Quran). This is made
evident in the following verses :

"Y.S., and the Quran Al-Hakim" 36:1-2

"This is what We recite to you of the ‘Ayat’ and the

‘Zekr Al-Hakim"
3:58:"A.L.R., these are the signs of the ‘Ketab Al-Hakim"
10:1 also 31:2.

==================================================================
My Reply : Again we see the ignorance of Anti Hadeeth in Arabic.
The word Al Hekmah does not carry only ONE MEANING in the Quran.

And notice, in 02:231 and the above verses, they carry different
form:

02:231 = al kitab wal hikmah

36:1-2 = Al Hikmah on it’s own.

Noticed that the word “Wa” is in between Al Kitab and Al Hikmah in 02:231.
Yet that is missing in all the other verses.

The Wau is called “wau atfa” or “the wau that connects”. It’s supposed to
connect between two different articles (or subjects).

Given the AH interpretation, then we are forced to assume that
Al Kitab and Al Hikmah is the same. If that is so, then when
God says “Wasyamsi wa dhuhaha” is God saying that “the Sun” is
the same as “the dusk” (in verse 91:01)? Does AH assumes that
"Asy Syams" is the same as "Ad Dhuha"?

We see now how shallow the AH is in understanding the Quran

==================================================================
AH Writes:

THREE :The same word ‘Al-Hekmah’ is used in the Quran in connection
with prophets and messengers who lived before the time of
Muhammad (P.B.U.H.). Obviously before Muhammad lived his
Sunna did not exist. Thus to say that ‘Al-Hekmah’ means
Sunna’t Muhammad is incorrect. Consider the following verses:
a- The following are God’s words to Jesus (P.B.U.H.):

"And I taught you the ‘Ketab’ (Scripture) and ‘Al-Hekmah’
(wisdom)." 5:110

Clearly the word ‘Al-Hekmah’ here does not mean the Sunna of
Muhammad.

==================================================================
My Reply: It simply means that each Prophets has their own
teachings external to the Books that they carry with them to
their people(s).

That's all. Remember, Al Hikmah in 05:110 doesn't carry the same exact
meaning as in 02:231.

==================================================================
AH Writes:

b- The following were the words of Abraham (P.B.U.H.) as he
implored his Lord :

"Our Lord, and send for them a messenger from among them
to recite to them your ‘Ayat’ and teach them the ‘Ketab’
(Scripture) and ‘Al-Hekmah’ (wisdom)." 2:129

Again the word ‘Al-Hekmah’ here could not mean anything but
wisdom. Abraham had no knowledge of the ‘Sunna’ of Muhammad.

==================================================================
My Reply: Anti Hadeeth choose to understand as they will. They have
complete disregard to the truth.

In this verse, the “Hikmah” means the teachings of the Prophet additional
to the “Kitab” in the verse.

Again, the word is Al Hikmah and not Hikmah per say. It's ism maarifah and
therefore, it has not the same meaning as in 02:231. 62:02 etc.

It’s that simple.

==================================================================
AH Writes:

FOUR :A further evidence that the word ‘Al-Hekmah’ as used in
the Quran means wisdom and not Sunna is found in the following verse:

"He bestows ‘Al-Hekmah’ upon whoever He pleases, and whoever attains
‘Al-Hekmah’ has indeed attained a great blessing." 2:269

The words "whoever He pleases" in this verse indicate that
God bestows ‘Al-Hekmah’ upon any of the believers and not
just His messengers. If we assume that ‘Al-Hekmah’ means
the Sunna we would have to believe that any ordinary
believer may also have his own personal Sunna that has to
be followed by other believers! This of course is not the case.
The verse would instead make full sense if we think of ‘Al-
Hekmah’ in its proper meaning as wisdom.

==================================================================
My Reply: Unfortunate for Anti Hadeeth, the Hikmah here is different
from the ones in 02:231 or 62:02. Just like the word Al Kitab in the
Quran. They can mean the Quran, the Taurah(25:35), Injil (i.e. 05:110)
and even Luh Mahfuz

Anti Hadeeth is so ignorant in Arabic that they think each word
in the Quran must only have one meaning.
They don’t know the concept if “Ism Maarifah” or why there is an
“Alif Lam” at the start of the word(s).

==================================================================
AH Writes:

SIX :Perhaps the simplest and most convincing reason for
discarding the corrupted meaning of ‘Al-Hekmah’ so as to
mean the Sunna, is the fact that God is neither vague nor
fond of providing us with puzzles. God asserts that the
Quran is straightforward, it contains no crookedness:

"An Arabic Quran, without any crookedness, that they may
take heed." 39:28

==================================================================
My Reply: The Anti Hadeeth is fond of the “crookedness” part,
they totally forgot about the “Arabic Quran” part of 39:28.
Again exhibiting their “taking part-of-the-Quran-they-want-and-discard-
the-part-they-don’t-like” habits.

If one were to take the entire verse, one will see that the Quran
is clear, straightforward, straight if one is to understand them in
Arabic, not from mere translation as the AH is so fond of doing.

We have seen above how the AH beliefs only introduce contradictions
in the Quran.

==================================================================
AH Writes:

Surely, had God willed that we should follow the teachings
of the Quran plus the Sunna He would have mentioned
the words ‘Sunna’t Muhammad’ explicitly in the Quran.
Needless to say, the only Sunna that is mentioned in the
Quran is the Sunna of Allah.
"This is the Sunna of Allah for those of the past, and
you will find no alternative for the Sunna of Allah." 33:62
The Sunna of Allah is to be found in the Quran and previous Scripture.

==================================================================
My Reply: So If God decides to express it in another way and not
in the way Anti Hadeeth wants Him to do so, is it a crime. God had expressed
the compulsion of following the Sunnah in various verses 02:231,
02:151, 62:02, 16:44, 16:64 and many more verses. The message is clear
and there is no doubt about it.

==================================================================
AH Writes:

Moreover if God had revealed to Muhammad an additional
Sunna other than the Quran, as the Sunni’s would claim
then we would expect God to say ‘We have revealed to
you the Ketab and the Sunna’ or words to that effect.
Instead the only Revelation endorsed in the Quran is the
Quran itself:

"And We have revealed to you the Ketab (the Quran) truthfully." 5:48

==================================================================
My Reply: Again, who is Anti HAdeeth to tell God how to express Himself.
As if to say that Allah SWT is only to express His will in accordance to
the ways and methods of the Anti Hadeeth?

This is so ludicrous.

==================================================================
AH Writes:

SEVEN :Finally, the word ‘Al-Hikmah’ in any Arabic dictionary
means WISDOM. To leave the literal and direct meaning
and accept a manipulated meaning is to reject the truth of the Quran.

==================================================================
My Reply: Just like AL Kitab, it means “the book”. But, in 25:35 it means
Taurah and in 05:110 is means Injil.

So, again, Anti Hadeeth attempt to use the Arabic language has failed.

Exposing Anti Hadeeth Lies On Imam Bukhari

In this article I shall try to point out the lies promoted by Anti Hadeeth against Imam Bukhari.

For your kind information, ALL of their attacks on Imam Bukhari are taken from Syiah sources. The Anti Hadeeth are too dumb to understand the writings of Imam Bukhari so much that they have to depend on third party sources to mount their attacks.I

The source of defamation on Imam Bukhari is taken from

ATTACK #1: How could Imam Bukhari writes down 600,000 hadeeth in 16 years. They says
“600,000 hadith / 16 years = 37,500 per year = 3,125 per month = 104.66 per day (30 days
in a month) = 8.68 hadith per hour (assuming a 12 hour day).

no breaks for lunch, 5 times prayer, kentut, toilet, public holidays, wesak day etc. bullshit.
Also, where did he get the time to teach 90,000 people ??

MY REPLY: That’s because you’re an idiot as like any typical run-of-the-mills Anti Hadeeth. When
we say Hadeeth, we refer to “matn” and “sanad”. 1 hadeeth have one matn and one sanad. The
next hadeeth will have the same matn but different sanad. The third hadeeth will have the same
sanad but different matn.

Therefore, it doesn’t take Imam Bukhari more than one hour to memorize/analyze/write down 200
hadeeth at least.

200 hadeeth = 1 hr

2400 hadeeth = 12 hrs/day

38400 hadeeth= In 16 days(average)

And for 16 years Imam Bukhari have the capacity to narrate/analyze/write more than
14,016,000 hadeeth.

THEREFORE, since he only analyzed 700,000, it shows that he managed to make time for
other activities as well i.e. eating, travelling, teachings etc.

ATTACK #2 : Anti Hadeeth claims that Imam Bukhari’s lineage specifically his great,great grandfather by the name of Bardizba al Jufri.

MY REPLY: This is actually true considering that at that time, the call for Islam has not reached Bukhara. It’s clear that the son of Bardizba, Ibn Mughira converted to Islam and that’s when Imam Bukhari’s family started contributing to the scholarly works of Islam

ATTACK #3 : That Imam Bukhari and many Imams of Islam are fire worshippers and have never ceased from worshipping fires. They rely their case upon a book written by Abdul Wadud at http://www.free-minds.org/books/wadud_00pre.htm.

MY REPLY: In truth, Syed Abdul Wadud is a deranged man claiming the existence of a Persian-Zorostarianism conspiracy against the Quran and against Islam. He claims that the Al Hadeeth is a product, or by-product of such conspiracy.

Of course, he provides no legitimate proof or any evidence that can hold up in court. Most of what he writes are either sourced from the orientalists or the Shia sources themselves.

Among the glaring mistake that is contained in his book is

1. Never did he quote verses 16:44, 16:64, 62:02, 02:231, 02:151 and many more in his analysis of the Quran.
2. He listed the six Imam Hadeeth and calls them all PERSIANS. Everyone knows that Imam Muslim is an Arab, so is Abu Dawood, An Nasai and Ibnu Majah. The only one that’s not Arab is Imam Bukhari. So much for relying on credible source.
3. He still quotes sources from Al Hadeeth An Nabawiy and make his conclusion based on that
4. He doesn’t understand a single thing about what he read in the Hadeeth and all that he has quoted
5. His historical facts are either unfounded or figments of his own imagination.

Therefore, the Anti Hadeeth relies on crack-pot intellect like Abdul Wadud to get their justification in attacking Imam Bukhari.

ATTACK #4 : Anti Hadeeth claims that Imam Bukhari memorized 600,000 hadeeth yet he only authenticate 7000 and declared the rest to be inauthentic

MY REPLY: Those learned in Ulum Al Hadeeth would know that Imam Bukhari had never declared
other than the 7000 hadeeth to be unauthentic.My only comment is for those who accuses Imam
Bukhari of something and fail to provide proof, he/she is an outright liar. As for the question of who
wrote Sahih Bukhari, let me remind all of us that the works of Imam Bukhari have been studied by
all scholars, muslims and non. Yet, not a single one of them ever doubted that the Sahih was
written by Imam Bukhari.

ATTACK #5 : The list of teachers of Imam Bukhari are like so:

1. Tabi'een

2. Contemporaries of Tabi'een but did not narrate.

3. Heard from elderly Tabi'een.

4. Narrates from his colleagues who were his seniors.

5. Narrates from his juniors.

Anti Hadeeth then went on saying “contemporaries of tabi'een but did not narrate”.
so they kept their mouth shut !! so how did bukhari get the hadith from them – did he
force them to narrate ???

MY REPLY: He studied under them about the hadeeth he narrated. He doesn’t get narration
from them because they do not want to be in the chain of narration. But, these tabieen knows
about hadeeth as much as the tabi’een who narrates Hadeeth

ATTACK #6: There is no evidence as to who wrote Aj Jami' As Sahih. There is no evidence that
Imam Bukhari wrote the book.

MY REPLY: In fact, the Sahih Bukhari is the most recorded document in history. The reason
why there are so many version is because the Aj Jami is recorded by so many of Imam Bukhari's
students. At least 90,000 students studied directlyunder him.
Therefore, when is AJ Jami's is recorded, there are bound to be more than one version.
But ALL VERSIONS contained the same number of hadeeth.

According to Ibn Hajar Asqalani in his book Nukat, the
number of hadiths in all narrations (versions) is the same. The most famous one
today is the version narrated by al-Firabri (d. 932), who is a trusted
student of Bukhari. Khatib al-Baghdadi in his book History of Baghdad had quoted
Firabrisaying: "There were about seventy thousand people who have heard Sahih
Bukhari with me".

Firabri is not the only transmitter of Sahih al-Bukhari. There were many others that narrated that book to later generations, such as Ibrahim ibn Ma'qal (d. 907), Hammad ibn Shaker (d. 923), Mansur Burduzi (d. 931), and Husain Mahamili (d. 941). There are many books that noted differences between these versions; Fath al-Bari is the most famous among them.

A Short Guide When Facing Anti Hadeeth

Assalamualaikum,

In this article, i'd like to provide some guide on how to face people of the anti-hadeeth sect. I have prepared a guide that will, inshaalah, provide an argument resolver thus automatically rendering the anti hadeeth people pointless

Guide #1 : Always insists on their explanation of the verse 16:44 of the Quran,





meaning:(We sent them) with Clear Signs and Books of dark prophecies; and We have sent down unto thee (also) the Message; that thou mayest explain clearly to men what is sent for them, and that they may give thought.

JUSTIFICATION: THe Anti HAdeeth argues that the Quran is complete and in need of no external source. You will find that the Anti Hadeeth will never quote 16:44. In fact, their prophet, Rashad Khalifa tries to change the meaning of this verse.

In short, this verse provides tha last nail in the coffin of the Anti Hadeeth sect/belief structure


Guide #2 : Always tell them that Allah SWT has never said that the Quran is His only Revelations to the people of Muhammad SAW. Proof 62:02


meaning:It is He Who has sent amongst the Unlettered an apostle from among themselves, to rehearse to them His Signs, to sanctify them, and to instruct them in Scripture and Wisdom,- although they had been, before, in manifest error;-

EXPLANATION: Here God says that the Prophet is to teach the Quran and Al Hikmah to his people. THe Quran is clear but what about Al Hikmah? Al Hikmah is contained in the Al HAdeeth of the Prophet SAW.

So this verse indicates that there is more than one Revelations from God to the people of Mohd.

Guide #3 : Ask them these questions -
a. Where does it say in the Quran that Surah Al Baqarah must come after Al Fatihah?
b. Where does it say in the Quran that Surah An Nas (Qulauzubirabinnas) must be the last Surah (chapter) in the Quran?
c. Where does it say in the Quran that there are 30 “juz”(section)?
d. Where does it say in the Quran that “alhamdulillahirabilalamin(01:01)” must come before
“Ar Rahman Ar Rahim(01:02)”?
e. Where does it say in the Quran that there must be 114 Surah (Chapters) in the Quran?
f. Where does it say in the Quran that“Qulhuwallahuahad (112:01) must come before “Allahusamad(112:02)?

WHY?: Because to this date, the Anti Hadeeth sect cannot explain to us how the Quran reached us from the Prophet SAW. Their answers are either vauge, or in void of any specific detail. THey merely quote a few passages from the Quran, but they cannot provide any specifics despite quoting the verses.


GUIDE #4: Tell them that their Quran is from the planet Uranus and make them refer to this link (http://antiantihadeeth.blogspot.com/2007/07/anti-hadeeths-quran-is-from-planet_15.html)

WHY?: Because their Quran is not the Quran that's sent down to the Prophet SAW. Their Quran is their own whimsical interpretation of the TRANSLATION of the Quran. Nothing more.

Guide#5:A sample of Anti Hadeeth abject stupidity
(Start)

6.0 TM(note: an anti hadeeth exponent) renounced “wau atfa” completely. He says that the “wau” between “al kitab” and “al hikmah” does not differentiate between “al kitab” and “al hikmah”. They both can mean the same.

TRUTH: When God says “Wasyamsi wa dhuhaha” is God saying that “the Sun” is the same as “the dusk” (in verse 91:01) ? Does TM assumes that "Asy Syams" is the same as "Ad Dhuha"

(end)

See how ignorant the Anti Hadeeth sect is? They change the meaning of the Quran and they say that it's their Quran that's correct

GUIDE #6: Ask them why they reject the Arabic Quran and instead accept the English and Malay Quran?

They mostly depend on translations and nothing else. If they understood the Quran in Arabic, there will be no Anti Hadeeth at all.

GUIDE #7: Tell them, there is no such thing as "Traditional Islam". There is only one ISlam. Other than that one Islam, there is only deviation. Their sect belongs to the deviated category and they are not part of Islam. Read more!

Hadeeth Rejectors Are Hypocrites

I read Zeynab’s article with glee. I consider her article exemplary of what is wrong with the Anti Hadeeth ideology: steep in ignorance and arrogance.

Ignorance because their study does nothing more then scratch the surface of the topic of Hadeeth and arrogant because they refuse to even consider the most prolific facts of all, that the hadeeth has been studied by millions of scholars throughout the period of 1400 years and yet no one has actually come to reject it.

What is Zeynab’s number one mistake in studying The Sahih Bukhari? She mentions:

“I read the English translations of Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall. Since recently I'd been hearing much about Hadith from many sections of the Muslim community, so I thought of studying it too.”

Again and again, these people commits the same mistake repeatedly. These people study the Hadeeth of the Prophet from it’s TRANSLATIONS and not the original language of the Hadeeth itself, that is Arabic.

Miss Zeynab, what you have studied IS NOT the Sahih Bukhari. What you studied is the TRANSLATION of the SAHIH, which is not the SAHIH at all.

The same goes to the Quran you studied. You did not STUDY THE QURAN. You STUDY THE TRANSLATION of the Quran, WHICH IS NOT THE QURAN.

She further exposes more of her fundamental flaws when she said:

“ As all of you would know, Hadith is the alleged saying of the Prophet Muhammad as claimed by the Muslim clergy, but in reality it is not.”

I challenge anyone to name me one scholar of Islam who says that the Hadeeth of the Prophets are ALEDGED to be the Sayings of the Prophet? This is merely a product of Zainab’s figment of her imagination.

Further mistake commited by Zeynab:

“I found majority of them to be full of absurdities. Most of them clearly contradict the Qur'aan, many are totally unnecessary, some are silly, some are funny and many sound vulgar & embarrassing. “

How can Zeynab find anything considering that even the Quran she studied is NOT THE QURAN but merely the TRANSLATION of the QURAN?? What authority does Zeynab have to claim that a certain hadeeth contradicts the Quran and a certain Hadeeth is absurd an so on and so forth.

All Zeynab did was study the TRANSLATION of the HADEETH and the Quran and nothing more. It’s like Zeynab claiming to have studied a car, when all she did was read the technical manual of a car without even touching or seeing the real car.

Everything the Zeynab understands and believes about the Hadeeth and the Quran is merely a product of her own wild imagination and nothing more.

Funny that Zeynab mentioned to have used the Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall translation. If Zeynab had bothered to read the introduction, she would have read that MM Pickhall openly testified to the fact that there can never be a 100% accurate translation of the Quran.

Dillema of the HAdeeth Rejectors

To those who rejects Al Hadeeth for reasons only they themselves can possibly comprehend, please answer this question:

"Where does it say in the Quran that, for instance, the verse "Ar Rahman Ar Rahim" must come after "Alhamdulillahirabilalamin" in Surah Al Fatihah?

In fact, where does it say in the Quran that Al Fatihah must come before Al Baqarah?

To those who accepts the Quran in it's current form that is popular among all of us right now (called Mushaf Uthmani) means that one is accepting Al Hadeeth of the Prophet SAW.

The QURAN is 100% silent on how the Quran is arranged or on how the Quran should be written and many more.

Anyone accepting the order of the Quran as we know it today is by definition accepting the HAdeeth of the Prophet SAW/

REPEATING OLD LIES ABOUT HADEETH

This Zeynab character seems to repeat the same old lies promoted by Anti Hadeeth throughout these years.

For instance she claims, among all, that the Hadeeth is derived from the Old and New Testement. If such claim is true, then the Quran can also be claimed as to be derived from Old and New Testement.

Example: The Prohibition of Pork. Pork is prohibited both in the Quran and the Old Testement. Does that mean that the Quran too is derived from the Old Testement?

The more they try to discredit the Hadeeth the more they expose their own stupidity.

CONCLUSION

The Anti Hadeeth lot are a bunch of confused lot. Not only their understanding of the Quran is contradictory, their understanding of the Hadeeth is even worse. To make things even worse, they dare to propogate their confused beliefs to others when they are rotten to the core.

I could write hundreds of pages to expose the Anti Hadeeth lies and deception and not to mention their confusions and contradictions. If anyone is interested to see them, feel free to browse at antiantihadeeth.blogspot.com

1. Tabi'een

2. Contemporaries of Tabi'een but did not narrate.

3. Heard from elderly Tabi'een.

4. Narrates from his colleagues who were his seniors.

5. Narrates from his juniors.

Anti Hadeeth then went on saying “contemporaries of tabi'een but did not narrate”.
so they kept their mouth shut !! so how did bukhari get the hadith from them – did he
force them to narrate ???

MY REPLY: He studied under them about the hadeeth he narrated. He doesn’t get narration
from them because they do not want to be in the chain of narration. But, these tabieen knows
about hadeeth as much as the tabi’een who narrates Hadeeth

ATTACK #6: There is no evidence as to who wrote Aj Jami' As Sahih. There is no evidence that
Imam Bukhari wrote the book.

MY REPLY: In fact, the Sahih Bukhari is the most recorded document in history. The reason
why there are so many version is because the Aj Jami is recorded by so many of Imam Bukhari's
students. At least 90,000 students studied directlyunder him.
Therefore, when is AJ Jami's is recorded, there are bound to be more than one version.
But ALL VERSIONS contained the same number of hadeeth.

According to Ibn Hajar Asqalani in his book Nukat, the
number of hadiths in all narrations (versions) is the same. The most famous one
today is the version narrated by al-Firabri (d. 932), who is a trusted
student of Bukhari. Khatib al-Baghdadi in his book History of Baghdad had quoted
Firabrisaying: "There were about seventy thousand people who have heard Sahih
Bukhari with me".

Firabri is not the only transmitter of Sahih al-Bukhari. There were many others that narrated that book to later generations, such as Ibrahim ibn Ma'qal (d. 907), Hammad ibn Shaker (d. 923), Mansur Burduzi (d. 931), and Husain Mahamili (d. 941). There are many books that noted differences between these versions; Fath al-Bari is the most famous among them.

Anti Hadeeth latest trick is to try to show that scholars of hadeeth disagree on the authentitcity of Sahih Bukhari and Muslim.


In truth, they are the ones who do not understand the discipline of hadeeth and the fact that the status of Sahih Bukhari is never doubted.

Again, they relied on Christian Missionary sources and of course Shia sources..
