20 Oct 2020video Why do critics refuse to debate the authenticity of Sahih al-Bukhari? Critics who say Mufti Abu Layth knows nothing about Sahih al-Bukhari decline his invitation to debate it, and Jonathan Brown admitted on Facebook that he lacked the research. Mufti says al-Farabri's reliability can only be asserted from sources centuries later, not from anyone who knew him.

30 Aug 2018BukhariGate: Issues with Sahih al-Bukhari The third problem: can Bukhari be traced to its author? The bullet points Sahih al-Bukhari cannot be traced to its author beyond reasonable doubt.

30 Aug 2018BukhariGate: Issues with Sahih al-Bukhari Farabri's incomplete copy, the differing student copies and the manuscript patchwork Farabri's copy was incomplete and rearranged, his students' copies differ in chains and hadith, and every later manuscript down to the Sultaniyya edition was a patchwork that needed correction.

3 Aug 2018Responding to Refutations Can Sahih al-Bukhari be proven to go back to Imam al-Bukhari? Mufti Abu Layth says it cannot be proven beyond reasonable doubt: the printed Sultaniyya rests on the lost Yuniniyya, the copies disagree, al-Saghani's claimed copy of Farabri's text is unseen, and Farabri himself was vouched for only centuries later. He challenges his critics to prove otherwise. Lessonposition checkedSunni Defence (YouTube channel)Sahih al-BukhariImam al-BukhariMuhammad ibn Yusuf al-Farabri machine6 min 30 s9:05on YouTube
