15 Feb 2021video Why does Bukhari accept a narrator who praised Ali's killer while Shia narrators are rejected? Mufti Abu Layth calls it a double standard that al-Bukhari accepts as trustworthy a narrator who praised Ibn Muljam for killing Ali, while reports from Imam Jafar and other Shia imams are rejected because of their source.

24 Jul 2019Quick Fiqh! Can reports from Shia sources about Hasan and Husayn be trusted? Mufti Abu Layth accepts the reports as factual, saying the Shia had no reason to invent earrings for their own Imams, and calls it hypocrisy that Sunnis accept Imran ibn Hittan, a Khariji who praised Ali's killer, as a narrator in Sahih al-Bukhari while rejecting anything from Imam Jafar al-Sadiq.

30 Aug 2018BukhariGate: Issues with Sahih al-Bukhari Imam Bukhari's own practice: transmission by meaning, hidden names, a Khariji narrator Imam Bukhari set a gold standard but did not always apply it: he transmitted by meaning, hid the names of problematic teachers and narrated from a Khariji who praised Ali's killer. Mufti Abu Layth's quarrel is not with Bukhari himself but with how the book is treated.
