**Topics:** Sahih al-Bukhari (BukhariGate); Replies to attacks on the Prophet; Salafism and Wahhabism

**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Critics who defend Bukhari reports Mufti Abu Layth regards as insulting to the Prophet, such as marrying a child, forcing Safiyya, forgetting the Quran or being made impotent by magic, cannot claim to love the Prophet. Mariya al-Qibtiyya was a wife, not a concubine, and the critics' real concern is a fantasy caliphate and power.

**Checked position (checked by two independent reviews, not by the channel):** Mufti Abu Layth holds that Mariya al-Qibtiyya was a wife of the Prophet and not a concubine, and calls nonsense the teachings, some of them in Sahih al-Bukhari, that the Prophet married a child, forcibly took Safiyya, tried to force himself on a woman, forgot the Quran or was made impotent by magic.

**Evidence, his words at 1:11:** “she was the only wife of the prophet alaihi wasallam that brought him a child that lived in this world after prophethood” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zY0NDQvL2U&t=71s)

## Longer summary

The clip opens mid-sentence with Mufti Abu Layth addressing his critics, naming Farid [?] and Asim Qureshi [?], and asking where their love for the Prophet is when what he calls Najdi Wahhabi people say the Prophet married and bedded a child, forcibly took Safiyya after her husband was killed, and refuse to this day to recognise Mariya al-Qibtiyya, the mother of his son Ibrahim, as a wife, calling her a concubine or a sex slave, although the Quran calls the Prophet's wives the mothers of the believers. He lists further reports from Sahih al-Bukhari that he calls nonsense and rubbish: that the Prophet tried to touch a woman and told her to give herself to him, that he forgot the Quran, and that Moses ran naked so that people could see whether he had a hernia; he adds that the apostasy report rests on Ikrima, a Khariji whom Imam Malik said not to take from, yet is accepted because Bukhari included it. He says these critics never speak out against such reports, in order to appease the Wahhabi leaders in Saudi Arabia who fund them, and that their love for the Prophet surfaces only when calling to kill apostates, Shia or Qadianis. He recounts a YouTube discussion in which members of that group said it did not matter if the Prophet was clumsy or had been made sexually impotent by magic, adds a crude jibe about their fathers, and says that rather than challenge their seniors they excuse such reports as belonging to a different time. He concludes that honour does not lie in a fantasy caliphate that neither Allah nor the Prophet asked for, that for these people the Prophet is only a licence for power, sex slaves and dominion, and that a faith built on such a cobweb crumbles as they age.
