4 Aug 2020Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth How did hadith scholars know narrators who died a century earlier were reliable? Mufti Abu Layth says later hadith critics never disclosed how they knew long-dead narrators were reliable, leaving gaps in an impressive system.

4 May 2019On Current Events Is the hadith about women praying in the darkest part of the house authentic? No: the chains run through unknown, abandoned or weak narrators, so the reports are fabricated or very weak and clash with the sahih hadith.

3 Aug 2018Responding to Refutations Is there an authentic hadith that a wife may never refuse her husband sex? Mufti Abu Layth says no version of the report that a wife cannot refuse her husband is free of criticism, since its chains run through al-A'mash and Qatada and carry hidden defects. He challenges his critics to produce one that cannot be faulted.

8 Jul 2018Responding to Refutations Do the angels curse a wife who refuses her husband in bed? No: Mufti Abu Layth holds the hadith is weak, resting on narrators who practised tadlis, and clashes with the Quran's command to treat wives with kindness.

10 May 2018Ponderings on the Holy Quran Is the chain of the apostasy hadith through Anas reliable? The alternative chain of the apostasy hadith through Anas is also weak: it includes a narrator with Mu'tazili tendencies and Qatada, who is known for tadlis, and the report clashes with reason, the Quran and the Prophet's life.

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.
