6 Apr 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Did Imam Malik believe Jesus will return? There is a statement from Imam Malik that Jesus died, and Malik never taught the second coming in his fatwas or the Muwatta, so it is no huge claim that he did not hold it. Transmitting a report is not endorsing it. Lessonposition checkedImam MalikIsa (Jesus)Yasir Qadhial-Mudawwana machine7 min 42 s2:17:23on YouTube
14 Mar 2021video What does Yasir Qadhi say about the claim that the return of Jesus came from Judeo-Christian sources? Qadhi's clip calls the claim that the return of Jesus entered Islam from Judeo-Christian sources through Wahb, Ka'b or al-Zuhri a preposterous charge without evidence that would mean the faith was corrupted and the ummah misguided for fourteen centuries. Mufti Abu Layth asks listeners to remember these words. Lessonquoted view, not his positionguest speechYasir Qadhial-ZuhriKa'b al-AhbarIsrailiyyat machine2 min 34 s30:17on YouTube
14 Mar 2021video Why does Mufti Abu Layth say the Bukhari chain for Jesus's descent is unreliable? The first Bukhari chain leaves two narrators' names ambiguous, a practice al-Dhahabi and Ibn Hajar record of al-Bukhari, and passes through al-Zuhri, whom the critics describe as inserting his own words into reports and making mursal reports reach the Prophet.

14 Mar 2021video What problems does Mufti Abu Layth find in the Sahih Muslim chains for Jesus's return? The second Bukhari chain passes through Qutayba, who once concealed a known forger in a chain, and the Sahih Muslim chains pass through narrators faulted for lax or inaccurate transmission from al-Zuhri, notably Yunus ibn Yazid, with al-Zuhri himself recurring in each.

14 Mar 2021video Who are the problematic narrators in the Sahih Muslim reports on Jesus's return? The Sahih Muslim chains include a narrator who suffered memory loss, a narrator who cannot be identified and could not have met Abu Hurayra, a major mudallis whose reports some critics discarded as fabrications, and Abu al-Zubayr, whom Abu Hatim did not consider reliable.

2 Mar 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth What does Yasir Qadhi say about the return of Jesus coming from Jewish and Christian sources? In the clip Qadhi calls the claim that the return came from Judeo-Christian sources baseless and says it would destroy Islamic epistemology; Mufti Abu Layth marks his words for later.

2 Mar 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Is the hadith in Bukhari about Jesus coming down reliable? The first Bukhari chain is doubtful: al-Bukhari left two narrators unnamed, which he is known to have done deliberately, and the chain runs through al-Zuhri, who was known to insert his own words into hadith.

2 Mar 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth What is wrong with the other Bukhari and Muslim chains on Jesus's return? The second Bukhari chain passes through Qutayba, who once concealed a forger, and al-Zuhri; the Sahih Muslim chains include Harmala, Yunus ibn Yazid and others the critics faulted.

2 Mar 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Are the Sahih Muslim reports about Jesus's return reliable? Further Sahih Muslim chains contain a narrator with memory loss, an unidentifiable narrator who could not have met Abu Hurayra, Ibn Jurayj, whom he calls a major mudallis, and Abu al-Zubayr.

2 Mar 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Is there a single hadith on Jesus's return with a flawless chain? Every chain he examined among the strongest Bukhari and Muslim reports, including that of al-Nawwas ibn Sam'an, has a criticised narrator, so Qadhi's 'no doubt' fails; preferring al-Bukhari over equal critics is arbitrary.

2 Mar 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Can the hadith about Jesus's return be questioned? No report on the return is beyond question: about eighty percent come through Abu Hurayra and about half through one narrator, none from Abu Bakr, Umar or Ali; the series will continue.

3 Jul 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth How reliable is the story of the first revelation in the cave? The guest doubts the historicity of the cave story, attributing it to al-Zuhri; Mufti Abu Layth says he would take the whole description with a pinch of salt.

19 Sep 2019Responding to Refutations Are the hadith about Aisha's young age authentic? Mufti Abu Layth says every chain for Aisha's young age is flawed, resting on narrators accused of tadlis and all going back to Urwa. Those who defend them put al-Bukhari's sanctity above the Prophet's honour. Discussionposition checkedAishaWahhabiDeobandiSahih al-Bukhari machine6 min 10 s6:57on YouTube
17 Sep 2018On the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Is the chain of the hadith that the Prophet died of poison reliable? Mufti Abu Layth finds the chains unacceptable: the Bukhari version runs through Yunus, whom early critics faulted for his memory, and through al-Zuhri, who does not state that he heard it, while the Abu Dawud version has a narrator criticised for mistakes.

17 Sep 2018On the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Why should Muslims reject the hadith that the Prophet died of poison? Following Imam Malik, a hadith that contradicts the overall message of the Quran is set aside; Mufti Abu Layth rules the poisoning report false on chain and content and says that calling the Prophet's death a poisoning insults Islam, God and the Prophet.

9 Apr 2018The Voice of Reason in Islam Does Ali's saying about wiping the socks prove that religion is not based on reason? No: Mufti Abu Layth says the 'if the deen were by opinion' wording has a weak chain and is absent from several versions, that Malik's Muwatta records wiping both sides of the khuff, and that rituals are practices rather than claims against reason.

1 Apr 2018Islamic Eschatology Why do almost all the hadith about Jesus returning come through Abu Hurayra? Mufti Abu Layth does not believe the Prophet said the second-coming hadith: about eighty percent come through Abu Hurayra alone, who learned from the converts Ka'b al-Ahbar and Abdullah ibn Salam, and some of his reports appear elsewhere as Ka'b's words from the Torah. No such hadith comes from Abu Bakr, Umar, Ali or Uthman. Lessonposition checkedShaykh Hassan AliIsa (Jesus)Abu HurayraIbn Shihab al-Zuhri [?] machine7 min 51 s10:26on YouTube
13 Mar 2018Islamic Eschatology What Imam Malik transmitted: no return of Jesus, Zuhri's reports, the pig passed in peace Imam Malik's Muwatta contains no hadith of Jesus's return and has Jesus greeting a pig in peace; Mufti Abu Layth reads this as Malik rejecting Zuhri's reports, half of which carry the return narrative.

13 Mar 2018Islamic Eschatology Why hadith, not the Quran or fiqh, was corrupted: Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz, Zuhri and forged chains Mufti Abu Layth holds that early opponents corrupted hadith, not the Quran or fiqh, in the century before chains were demanded; this is why Malik relied on inherited practice and treated isolated reports as information, not creed.

13 Mar 2018Islamic Eschatology Zuhri's reports: Fatima's anger, the attempted suicide, and half the Jesus hadith Scholars discard Zuhri's Fatima and suicide reports as his insertions but refuse to question the Jesus reports, half of which come through him with disconnected chains; Mufti Abu Layth calls this a double standard.

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.
