so right so now right I wanted to go through a quick hadith people to show somebody had asked a question and I wanted to say hadith from Cyril Buhari we're gonna take a look at and this is in line it's a quick hadith analysis we're gonna do and this is in line with the understanding of hadith which are problematic they are in Bukhari there are in other books as well so this one can be found in the Muslims of Ahmed and

0:39

these narrations in Sahih Muslim parts of it but I'm going to just focus on body just that because we don't have too much time and to show that they are hadith that are problematic that have crept in and these are hadith which insult Islam okay so we need to be really careful about some of these and that is this a hadith let's take a look at this one there's a hadith in Bukhari under a hadith an MBA under the a hadith of the prophets inside Buhari and it mentions look it's from bishop no Muhammad from Abdullah no Mubarak called

1:18

after on an armor and her mom and Abu Hurairah that the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Lola Banu Israel lam yakun Islam la ilaha were lambda hoon Unser's og AHA this is once again a blasphemous hadith because it's miss representing nonsense to the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam so it's saying that the that if it wasn't for the children of israel that if it wasn't for the children of israel food would never go foul would never go off

1:56

like food would always just remain like basically if you left some meteor and it mentions here meat specifically in another rewire it does say the arm in this particular revised meat so if you left me they would never go off it would just always stay sound healthy and right the way it is but food only gets bacteria and these things only happened because the banu israel the israelites disobeyed god that is ridiculous okay it's insulting our prophet to say things like this that he

2:36

did not say okay and then it goes on to say that well Lola have work if it wasn't for hawa all right how work here is obviously how why doesn't come in the Quran but how is Eve the wife if we want to use the term wife or of Adam ELISA Lam although it may be most likely that Adam most likely would have probably had multiple kind of partners and things like this that's the only common sensical way that human jet but he could

3:15

populate such a such an offspring through one woman it's it's incredibly incredibly unlikely that the globe would be populated like that right so but that's a different discussion but Lola how what if it wasn't for Eve LEM Tejon Unser's Olga her no woman would ever betray her husband now listen to them that is utterly unacceptable that is miss attributed just misogyny to the prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam when

3:53

he didn't say this is clearly this kind of language is clearly from biblical talk at best okay best this is kind of judeo-christian kind of talk and many of the things that have been transmitted sometimes through Abu Huraira or the along on he used to take from his convert teachers like Campbell Akbar and from from other teachers as well that had converted to Islam after the time of the Prophet and they had they were College of Judaism or Christianity when they came and this hadith even in the more father Abba Raider says he spent the whole day at what he believed was

4:33

Mount Sinai studying from Kabul Akbar about his religion and in turn he was telling him about hadith as well so sometimes it may come from Abu Huraira or the Ilan sometimes it may come from people from them that they mix things up as well so sometimes they may think of a Harada is saying that the Prophet said this but he didn't say that sometimes it may come from the people that's transmitting it from them these mistakes so first of all this hadith contains to not only factual errors but what are causes to ridicule religion that oh if

5:13

it wasn't for the Israelites food would would never go off like food would always remain sound that's and that's never that's not how bacteria works that's not how nature works okay nature is not a result of the Israelites okay secondly it says Lola Hawaii if it wasn't for Eve right that no wife a woman would betray her husband this is nonsense because first of all this is trying to act like well women have inherited this from Eve somehow that Eve was this temptress this kind of seductive evil woman who betrayed Adam

5:52

this is a very Christian narrative a judeo-christian narrative secondly is trying to act this hadith is portraying that women are the culprits in society Ubik who betray men and that's if we're gonna be honest because it's talking here commonly speaking it's actually men who more often than not or betraying women that is generally the case I mean if we're going to look at it's usually men just the nature that that they're going to not settle with one woman in many

6:30

cases even if they do settle that mostly it's men that will always be sleeping around mostly I mean that's just by the nature males across species it's not actually the nature of females across species to be so if I can use the word like rampantly just trying to have sex with every other for example male whereas it is the nature of males in most species to do that so so this whole thing is miss portraying that it's trying to act as if really the culprits the real culprits are just women who just are

7:10

betraying unfaithful to their husbands sleeping around doing things like this and that's actually factually incorrect right so that's not generally society I mean I'm not saying it doesn't happen I'm sure it does happen but generally if anybody if you're gonna criticize anybody you'd criticize the men secondly it's acting as though they've inherited this behavior from Eve thirdly it's acting it's representing Eve as an evil woman who betrayed Adam right which is nonsense right now right so and by the

7:48

way when I said male species throughout that I said generally and mostly not nothing there are some monogamous species but generally by and large most males do happen to be very kind of if we can use the word polygamous as in the very seeking extra marital ain't the right word but they're seeking just basically seeking sex from opportunists when it comes to sex right so so this hadith is blasphemous it is inaccurate unacceptable even if we look at this Senate we look at this chain Bishop no

8:28

Mohammed now first of all it's interesting that Bishop no Mohammed here s of T Annie who remember how he accepts from here although Imam Buhari himself begins by saying in like he highlights I don't accept from anybody in my book who is a T that doesn't fit in line with this yet Bishop no Mohammed 16e was from the mogea that's what people have claimed and that is people who believe that committing sins were not a problem as far as a man was concerned yet he still accepts from him here who goes for Abdul ignore Mubarak in this particular chain it goes through marmar and then through

9:05

her mom then Abu Huraira now her mom it has been criticized although he's generally a reliable person he's been criticized he brings the hadith in Abu Dawood to do with the ring and the Prophet I'm going to take it off when he goes to the toilet and things like this and people critici-- without said that this is from the one a mistake of her mom her mom making mistakes they happy does a crowd of that accepts acknowledges that and other people try to refute them but he makes mistakes right and then you've got Matt Moore Matt Maher several people have clicked critique Matt mark is reliable in many things as well but he's been criticized

9:44

for other narrations you've got he's let's see let's see here we've got people have said that sometimes at certain locations they're worse than others so you have some of his hadith have been described as being massively turbulent see if they're all kathira especially when he was in Basra sometimes in other places he's been criticized he's been asked so they

10:23

mentioned imam ahmed saying in the rewire of his son solomon kabul Basra via cyanide in his certain as I need he makes mistakes he transmits from certain people problematic things although generally one might say yeah but he used to make mistakes in a certain city only that doesn't make sense first of all you know when people when people have been known to to be problematic you have to be just you have to stop being kind of very naive and you have to think well hmm you know that that you have to take

11:02

some of these things with a pinch of salt I'm just going to one momento just open this up as well right right so some of the people my mother has also been criticized for his hadith from thabit have been heavily criticized although some people supported that but

11:41

yet looks a bit unknown transmitter arcing we've now been a dude once again he's been heavily criticized for hadith from from these people now that just goes to show this person has some issues with him the next person in right so next person sorry I'm just opening it in this chain so that's done - we've got

12:20

taken a look at two of them the first one being her mom who we've highlighted some people have got problems with then Matt Mott as I've highlighted although he's reliable yet people have said certain locations certain people that are saying all these things he has an issue with people have massively problematized these hadith then somebody in addition to the first teacher of Buhari versus tianni in this case is also accused of being from the Moche hub which is problematic okay so let's go back to the hadith well somebody may say

12:55

well this has another chain and it does if it allows me to open right okay excellent this chain in this case the Buhari the teacher of Buhari is also known as Bihari is Abdullah Al Jarreau feeel Buhari sometime known as a loose nerdy because he was one of the first people to gather a Muslim who comes through a similar chain except this time it's Abdul Razak a Suhani from mama from her mom okay from Abu Huraira so we've taken a look at her mom some criticism taking a look at mama this is the secondary YN Bihari and now Abdul Razak in this chain okay so if we

13:35

go back on momento momento Abdul Razak right we've got people like Imam necessary he says that feeling another that we've got to be weary about the result especially in his later age as the Hobby says in Mehsana at Adel rubia anhu a hadith man a kid they have been really massively problematic hadith transmitted from from Abdul Razak Assam honey the putney says the jalapeno bouquet on

14:14

whom safer you stay a la mama fear hadith that the hood me transmits that he makes mistakes from mark and once again where is this hadith coming it is coming from mama so and then some people say he had Shiar tendencies and things like this but that aside he's quoted by their be again in the cash if he mentions that wala hoo-ha it will Manik here okay somebody who has her ah if he has manake about her tomorrow see says about him

14:52

that looked about Hadees aroun well are you a Jew B that we write his hadith we do not consider them as evidence okay so that's we've got that day about up doors are pass and honey we've also got same thing here in the end of term ad the commentary you've got people mentioning him he is a popular scholar of hadith and he has many hadith which we can accept if they do meet up to the the criteria he towards his later part of his life did kind of lose his eyesight and that also impacted his hadith they

15:31

mentioned here as well mechana you looked and a hadith bartylla he would be taught fabricated hadith because his eyesight was impacted right so that's that's there as well but once again same thing about the correctly available hidden of the reserve had that'll be a hadith manake that he's mentioned certain monarchy hadith especially as well after his eyesight was impacted so that's something worth right so that's highlighted here as well and as you've

16:10

seen the quotes from all of these scholars of how to Marazzi other people dark goodne quoting as well transmitting especially when we're looking at his a hadith from mama we have a we have a problem okay so cool I hope that let me just check was there anything else yeah no that's okay I've included the others so the point is that you've got two chains here inside Buhari both problematic the content of the hadith is heavily problematic as well it

16:49

goes against the teachings of the Quran which teaches first of all the Quran teaches equality that Allah taught you that we do not inherit the Quran says letters it was written with okra that we do not inherit sins from people we do not inherit this betrayal this doesn't work like that a lot of teaches you in the Quran that food is a gift from Allah he teaches you things like it comes from the earth do you not see how food is brought forth and this happens and that happens this is the part of nature Allah mentions voluntary that is fundamental a heat abdillah it goes against the Quran it goes against the general understanding

17:26

of the the sources in in this Deen like the established sanam sanam like that women are just the counterparts the equal counterparts of men they exactly the same our fitrah is the same ok it goes against the principle establish principles of Islam that people should not be kind of shamed for just ancestry they and we don't have collective group guilt like all women are culprit because Eve betrayed Adam we do not believe Eve betrayed Adam it's a very judeo-christian thing so it goes against

18:06

all of these things and the SI need to have problems whether you want to look at Muhammad Nabeel as suspect or whether you want to see her mom as some people having critiqued him Abu Daoud or I'm very happy or whether you want to see matt maher who's been more critiqued than her mom and then up the rose up in the other chain who's been criticized even more than all of them oh whether you want to see that as abu huraira or the Elan here was this a teaching from the judeo-christian sources that he got and people mistakenly passed it on as Islamic teachings either way this is a hadith which insults Islam and it is

18:45

utterly unacceptable it is blasphemous right so
