What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

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.

In more detail

Addressing the critic directly, Mufti Abu Layth says the accusations that he is ignorant rest on cut-and-paste clips and slips of the tongue, and tells him to stop running away from the topic he set out to defend: the claim that the Prophet said a woman has no right to refuse sex to her husband. He says the chains he quoted for this report come down predominantly through al-A'mash and through Qatada, and challenges the critic to bring a single sahih hadith attributing this to the Prophet that cannot be criticised, promising to show where any such report carries weakness and hidden defects ('ilal); the critic may gather the ulama of Najd to help him. He says such blasphemy is not attributed to the Prophet. In passing he dismisses a clip played to suggest he did not know a narrator's name [?], saying his point had been that even when a narrator in a chain is accepted, the one transmitting from him may be the problem, and he quotes an Urdu couplet asking how the leader of a caravan allowed it to be robbed. He repeats that the challenge is to bring one hadith, and only then will they talk.

Position stated

In his words

“this kind of blasphemy is not attributed to our prophet salallahu alayhi wasalam you bring me one hadith one hadith that I can that cannot be criticized”
