21 Nov 2020video Do any authentic hadith prove jinn possession? The hadith cited for possession prove nothing: the Bukhari report that Satan runs in the veins concerns suspicion, the Bukhari report of the epileptic woman treats epilepsy as an illness to be borne patiently, and the remaining reports are weak. Lessonposition checkedreport: satan flows through the son of adam like bloodreport: the woman with epilepsy who asked the prophet to pray for her and chose patience so long as she would not be uncoveredreport: the prophet struck the chest of a man and blew on him to drive out the devilreport: yala ibn murra and the child from whom the prophet drove out a demon on a journey machine9 min 12 s34:00on YouTube
26 Jun 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Can hadith be sifted with criteria, or must the whole corpus be rejected? Mufti Abu Layth says the Prophet's practice survives as a living tradition in fiqh and that he accepts a hadith only if it passes reason, the texts and the principles. The guest replies that narrators who fabricated a stoning verse forfeit all credibility, like a false witness in the Quran.

22 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Can a hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari be questioned? Sahih means Bukhari and Muslim verified the chains, which says little about the content, since reliable narrators still err and insert explanations; only the few mutawatir reports, mostly practices like the number of units in prayer, are beyond doubt. Mufti Abu Layth says he believes all the hadith on Aisha's age are weak.

22 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Is criticising Sahih al-Bukhari an attack on Imam al-Bukhari? Imam al-Bukhari deserves credit for sifting hadith and his shorter narratives are usually the more authentic, but he was a human being and his book is not the Quran. Mufti Abu Layth says BukhariGate critiques the myth of an untouchable gold standard, not the man.

24 May 2019Hadith Studies If I drank alcohol, are my prayers and fasts rejected for 40 days? No: the fast and prayer are valid. He calls the forty-days hadith an isolated, weak report that clashes with the Quran and reason, though alcohol stays haram.

30 Aug 2018BukhariGate: Issues with Sahih al-Bukhari The first problem: Bukhari's semi-divine status above the Quran in practice Sahih al-Bukhari has been given a semi-divine status that in practice places it on par with or above the Quran, which he rejects outright. The Quran always takes precedence, and Bukhari is a book like the other hadith collections.

30 Aug 2018BukhariGate: Issues with Sahih al-Bukhari Summing up: judge Bukhari like any other book; the deen comes through living practice Bukhari should be read like any other hadith book, each report judged on its merits against reason, the Quran and established principles. The religion itself reaches Muslims through the living tradition of practice, not through this book.

10 May 2018Ponderings on the Holy Quran What is the context of the hadith 'whoever changes his religion, kill him'? The report 'whoever changes his religion, kill him' clashes with the Quran, and in full it is Ikrima's account of Ali burning people alive and Ibn Abbas objecting that he should have executed them instead.

20 Sep 2017Debunking Myths On: Jinns, Magic, the Evil Eye, and Superstitions Are there authentic hadith of the Prophet casting a jinn out of someone? None of the hadith cited for possession is free of criticism; the only sound version, Uthman ibn Abi al-As in Sahih Muslim, mentions no jinn, as al-Nawawi notes, and the 'come out, enemy of Allah' reports are weak. The Prophet, a mercy to mankind, would not have left such a thing untaught. Lessonposition checkedreport: yala ibn murra said i saw three things from the prophet including that he said to a boy come out enemy of allah i am the messenger of allahYa'la ibn Murrareport: uthman ibn abi al-as said i struggle with the quran and the prophet struck his chest and said go and lead your peopleUthman ibn Abi al-As al-Thaqafi machine6 min 31 s1:02:31on YouTube
