26 Jan 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth How could Abu Hurayra narrate 5,000 hadith after only two years with the Prophet? Mufti Abu Layth says it is implausible that Abu Hurayra narrated so much after about two years with the Prophet, that Umar restrained him, and that impossible reports such as the Ruqayya comb story should be rejected by Sunnis themselves.
