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.

14 Mar 2021video Is there a single hadith on Jesus's return with an unproblematic chain? Every chain Mufti Abu Layth examined for the strongest reports in Bukhari and Muslim contains a criticised narrator, so Qadhi's claim that they leave no doubt fails; accepting a report because al-Bukhari included it, while ignoring critics who were his equals or seniors, is arbitrary.

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.

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.

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.

29 Jul 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Are the chains of the 'women lack intellect' hadith sound? Not unquestionably: Mufti Abu Layth says every chain, in al-Bukhari, Muslim and elsewhere, has a weak or disputed link, too little to override the Quran.

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.

8 Jul 2018Responding to Refutations Thanks for the correction, but the chain is still flawed Mufti Abu Layth accepts that three forum quotes were misrepresented but says he never relied on them: his case rests on the narrator's tadlis, which his critics have not refuted.

8 Jul 2018Responding to Refutations Was al-A'mash a reliable hadith narrator? Mufti Abu Layth cites classical critics who say al-A'mash committed tadlis, sometimes hiding weak narrators, and made many mistakes. This does not mean every narration of his in Bukhari and Muslim is weak. Discussional-A'mashAbu HurayraAbu Salih [?]Sahih Muslim machine9 min 28 s4:25on YouTube
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.

10 May 2018Ponderings on the Holy Quran Are the Abu Hurayra and Hamza al-Aslami narrations on apostasy authentic? The other narrations used for killing apostates, from Abu Hurayra and Hamza al-Aslami, also have problems in their chains: rejected or unknown narrators and a known mudallis.

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.

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 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.
