12 Aug 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam What is the hadith about Abu Hurayra, the thief and Ayat al-Kursi? The report has Abu Hurayra guarding the zakat treasury and releasing a thief three nights running despite the Prophet calling him a liar, until the thief teaches him to recite Ayat al-Kursi before sleep. Mufti Abu Layth calls it fabricated or mis-transmitted and contrary to the Quran and Sunnah.

12 Aug 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Did Abu Hurayra learn to recite Ayat al-Kursi at bedtime from a devil? Mufti Abu Layth rejects the report as blasphemous: it has the devil teaching Islam while the Prophet confirms it, against Imam Malik's principle that everything of the deen came from the Prophet. It also portrays Abu Hurayra as clumsy and disobedient and the Prophet as tolerating theft.
