Why all Hadith Speaking About the Khalifa Appear to be Fabricated -Mufti Abu Layth

the 12 Imams hadith this is an interesting hadith because I've seen this being thrown around by a lot of people by the Sunni and the Shia so the Shia I think kind of leaning on it to validate their 12 imams and the sunnis it's inside a body that there will be twelve khalifa from Quraysh now I asked Jeff eternity I said that look on the topic of doctored hadith hadith er have

been fabricated as an example I said how about the topic of Halawa because he laughs our people is a notion it is an a concept that did not exist in the time of the Prophet or in Arabia before the Prophet so the Arabs never used to use words like Khalifa like they had the Arabic word Khalifa but it didn't mean what Khalifa means today so for example the Arabs would have had like let's say they would have had a the notion of Hajj we'd like they know how to pronounce

latest sorry they would have nearly that letters need pronunciation but the notion of the science of today we'd hadn't existed even though such weed is an Arabic word so just like each the heart is another example the prophet uses the term if she had in a hadith as in register had al-haqq him but generally the Arabs weren't using this word the way we today as Muslims use the word each the heart so we don't say like the Prophet or the Sahaba I won't say hey today I did each they had for example this like if you use the word each they had in front of them if they had meant its linguistic

understanding about effort exerting effort so they would probably get the gist of what you're saying or they might ask you what do you mean by that so the interesting point is that Halawa the Arabs never used to refer to their rulers as Khalifa's in fact mostly speaking they didn't have Kings either some of them did I know the famous molecular moons their molecular Arab and they were some bunny hangar in the tribe of him ER and other places there were some kings but generally speaking they were Papa L there were tribes they had their own

kind of macabre there is the Assad they had amis they had this concept of an Emir of Wylie's things like this and Malik kings and stuff like but they never had this notion of hula fur so this doesn't emerge till after the Prophet so how could the Prophet have been speaking to them about notions that weren't yet in existence like how could the Prophet be saying to the people that all right foe all right guys there's going to be a Halawa then the Khilafah is gonna go away then they'll be kingship and the Khilafah will come back

and hence at Madurai Sunni share happen very soon he could never consider this hadith bite but other as an example other hadith like this hadith in Bihari there will be 12 whole afar surely that what does that mean cool afar like what are we talking about people who come after in what because the Arabs never at the time had this notion so this shows that this hadith is most likely doctored and made up most likely perhaps during the reign of Bani kumea and up to I would assume probably the 12th Calif

Khalifa or the Caliph most likely in his time this would have been doctored because this is what is just a fine because how could the Prophet be addressing them with notions and terminology that are not even in existence yet one way out of this is you could say that this was done reliable mana as in the Prophet never said it in it like that but he maybe said something like with this kind of meaning and they retrospectively changed the words to fit that that's probably the best case scenario

in which case if the words have been changed perhaps the meaning has been altered - that's the best kind of angle that people could hold on to but in generally speaking this appears to have been doctored because it doesn't make sense because even after the Prophet has passed away oh but when they say to a worker what should we call you we I know why don't we call you halifa - Rasul Allah the person who came after the US after Rasul Allah The Messenger of Allah but they you to know this anyway they ought to know because the prophet's been mentioning halifa khalifa' khalifa'

khalifa' all these times so they ought to know that there's a concept called a khalifa and a calif and he laughs on you now the hey leaf why would they and when they were arguing to say how should we have the leadership why were they not using this word when they were saying I know why don't you have an immediate on the muhajireen and an Amir from being saw why weren't they saying you have a kale if we have a Calif - all of these things are right so I'm not sure what these questions are so that was an interesting point I presented that to

share her comment we he said that that he I mean he said that I yes it's unquestionable that hadith were definitely transmitted by meaning and he said but this is also an interesting question about when the notion didn't exist how could have they been a hadith and he said that is a good question and it would require research right okay next question
