15 Feb 2021video Why does Bukhari accept a narrator who praised Ali's killer while Shia narrators are rejected? Mufti Abu Layth calls it a double standard that al-Bukhari accepts as trustworthy a narrator who praised Ibn Muljam for killing Ali, while reports from Imam Jafar and other Shia imams are rejected because of their source.

24 Jul 2019Quick Fiqh! Did early Sunni hadith scholars such as Sufyan ibn Uyayna wear earrings? Yes: the Musnad of Abu Ya'la records a hadith student wearing two earrings, and al-Dhahabi's Siyar A'lam al-Nubala describes the young Sufyan ibn Uyayna sitting in Amr ibn Dinar's hadith class with an earring in his ear.

30 Aug 2018BukhariGate: Issues with Sahih al-Bukhari Imam Bukhari's own practice: transmission by meaning, hidden names, a Khariji narrator Imam Bukhari set a gold standard but did not always apply it: he transmitted by meaning, hid the names of problematic teachers and narrated from a Khariji who praised Ali's killer. Mufti Abu Layth's quarrel is not with Bukhari himself but with how the book is treated.

30 Aug 2018BukhariGate: Issues with Sahih al-Bukhari Bukhari in his own chain, and the other students whose copies did not reach us Sahih al-Bukhari reaches us through Farabri alone, although other students transmitted it. Nasafi's copy survives only in a summary of twelve hundred hadith, little of Hammad ibn Shakir's remains, Bazdawi's did not reach us, and Bukhari even appears in a chain in his own book.
