9 Apr 2018The Voice of Reason in Islam Did a tree really cry for the Prophet, and why does Mufti Abu Layth reject the hadith? Mufti Abu Layth does not hold the crying-tree reports to be established: their chains are problematic and Muslims cannot call other religions' miracle stories absurd while accepting their own; the Prophet's greatness does not depend on a tree.

21 Feb 2018Responding to Refutations Introduction: the Sunni Defence live session and its charge of an 'attack on the Sunnah' Mufti Abu Layth introduces a live-streamed refutation of his video on the crying-tree report, titled an 'attack on the Sunnah', and says he will respond after giving the backdrop.

21 Feb 2018Responding to Refutations Why does he reject the hadith of the tree crying for the Prophet? The religion is built on reason, so one standard must apply to all religions: a tree that reasons and cries cannot be accepted while other faiths' claims are called absurd. He also urged his critics to reject the demeaning reports about the Prophet, which they instead affirmed.

21 Feb 2018Responding to Refutations Is the chain Hammad ibn Salama from Thabit from Anas for the crying-tree hadith sound? Mufti Abu Layth argues it is not: critics report that Hammad ibn Salama's memory failed late in life, that Bukhari did not transmit from him, and that Thabit was not the most reliable transmitter from Anas, Qatada and Humayd al-Tawil being ranked above him.

21 Feb 2018Responding to Refutations Are the Jabir chains for the crying-tree hadith through Isra'il, Abd al-Razzaq and Ibn Jurayj sound? Mufti Abu Layth argues they are not: one chain rests on Isra'il, whom Yahya ibn Sa'id and Ibn al-Madini weakened, and an unknown narrator; the other on Abd al-Razzaq, criticised for errors from memory, and Ibn Jurayj, a mudallis whose 'akhbarani' referred to books rather than hearing.

9 Feb 2018On the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Is every hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari authentic?

9 Feb 2018On the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Is the hadith of the crying tree trunk authentic?
