14 Mar 2021video What does Yasir Qadhi claim about the hadith on Jesus's return being mutawatir? Qadhi's clip claims the hadith of the return are too numerous to discount, narrated from about ten companions, held to be mutawatir and found in dozens of theological works, including those of the Maliki school's leading figures. Mufti Abu Layth responds with sarcasm and says the reply is still to come. Lessonquoted view, not his positionguest speechYasir QadhimutawatirSahih MuslimAbu Hurayra machine5 min 16 s10:34on YouTube
14 Mar 2021video What does Mufti Abu Layth say about the Ibn Mas'ud hadith on the end of time and Jesus's return? The Ibn Mas'ud report has unknown narrators, opens by noting the Christians' claim that Jesus will return, and ends with life regrowing from a seminal fluid sent from beneath the Throne, a detail Mufti Abu Layth calls preposterous and uses to argue that such reports can be questioned.

2 Mar 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth What does the Ibn Mas'ud hadith about the end of time say, and is it reliable? The Ibn Mas'ud report has unknown narrators, opens by citing the Christians' claim that Jesus will return, and ends with life regrowing from a fluid sent from beneath the Throne, which Mufti Abu Layth calls preposterous.

16 Feb 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Did Abu Hanifa allow nabidh only as medicine? Mufti Abu Layth says the reports Abu Hanifa's school transmitted, of Umar and Ibn Mas'ud drinking and diluting nabidh, are about drinking with food, not medicine.

17 Oct 2020video What is the hadith of the night of the jinn, and was it a psychoactive experience? The Tirmidhi report of Ibn Mas'ud's night of the jinn, in which he carried nabidh and saw strange figures, would most likely describe a psychoactive experience if true, and the report praising harmala shows such a narrative existed in early Muslim society. Lessonposition checkedreport: nothing of the harmala seed emerges without an angel tied to it and in its seed is a cure for seventy two ailmentsreport: the night of the jinn ibn masud carried nabidh and saw figures that did not cross the line while the prophet slept with his head in his lapSunan al-TirmidhiAridat al-Ahwadhi (Ibn al-Arabi's commentary on al-Tirmidhi) [?] machine7 min 41 s22:07on YouTube
17 Oct 2020video Does the verse of light describe an expanded state of consciousness? The verse of light, 24:35, is an approximation that resonates with those whose consciousness has expanded, and entheogenic experience was part and parcel of the tradition without having a name.

19 Jun 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth How did Dr Shehzad Saleem come to research the history of the Quran? Teaching the history of the Quran at Al-Mawrid in 1999, the guest was shocked by questions in the Muslim sources themselves: multiple extant readings, reports of a lost rajm verse, compilation by two witnesses, differing companion codices and the Shia account. His book is the result of the quest that followed.

19 Jun 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Why did Muslim scholars record disagreements about the Quran's text rather than hide them? The guest says the scholars transmitted the variant reports out of sheer honesty, just as they preserved and marked scribal errors in the mushaf, and that variation was inevitable once the revealed sequence was rearranged. Mufti Abu Layth notes in passing that he agrees with Ghamidi that there is no second coming of Jesus.

19 Jun 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Was Ibn Mas'ud's Quran different from the Quran we have? No: the guest says the reports that Ibn Mas'ud rejected al-Fatiha or the last two surahs are wrongly ascribed to him, and the major companions vouched for the same Quran, the only traceable dispute being over the word 'qul'. Mufti Abu Layth also says he would not advocate cutting the hand today, since for him the hudud have already changed with the age.

18 Sep 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Is the hadith that singing breeds hypocrisy in the heart authentic? The hadith that singing breeds hypocrisy in the heart is weak in every one of its chains, which run from Ibn Mas'ud to the Prophet in some versions and stop at Ibn Mas'ud in others. Mufti Abu Layth restates that nothing categorically proves music haram and that lyrics do not make it so.

1 Mar 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran Did the companions ever read or understand the Quran differently from each other? Muslims already accept that the Quran was revealed with fluidity: the Prophet approved different recitations, and the tradition openly records companions such as Ibn Mas'ud holding mistaken views about what was part of the Quran and pronouncing letters by their tribal dialect. None of this is a shock to Muslims.

4 May 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Is there a hadith that says a woman who wears perfume outside is a zaniya? The report, transmitted only from Abu Musa al-Ash'ari and found in al-Nasa'i, Abu Dawud, Ahmad and al-Tirmidhi, says a woman who passes people while wearing perfume is a fornicator.

4 May 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Doesn't the hadith of Zaynab forbid women from wearing perfume to the mosque? The report only tells women not to wear perfume to the late Isha, sometimes Zaynab alone, so Mufti Abu Layth reads it as a specific instruction, not a general ban.

2 Jan 2018Responding to Refutations Music: the hadith on singing and hypocrisy, and scholars who permitted music Nothing proven categorically makes music haram, and lyrics by themselves do not make listening haram.

20 Sep 2017Debunking Myths On: Jinns, Magic, the Evil Eye, and Superstitions Is there any sound hadith that a jinn possessed someone? There is no sound hadith of Shaytan possessing anyone; the Ibn Mas'ud report shows the jinn as a lowly creation fed on bones, not masters over humans. The guest's own investigations of 'haunted' houses and 'possessed' women found tricks and nothing else, and exorcism has become a big business.
