Sahih hadith criteria: Cannot go against reason | Mufti Abu Layth

I want to share this right A lot of times people have asked me about reason the voice of reason and they've asked me that look uh you know you say things like oh Hadith if Hadith come and what about and you know how can you sometimes turn away Hadith based on reason this is the Kea right here a very established uh authoritative text within written by on the science of how to know what is right and wrong within

Hadith and the whole uh structures which surround it now when he begins quite early in he speaks about what what are the different kind of texts you have he speaks about this concept ofat and he is one of the first people that introduces this concept of and I've discussed that howan didn't accept the other people didn't accept I don't believe there's any such thing as M but he does discuss that separately then there is this discussion of which is really all Hadith which exist he says

that so you've got these are of three categories three types and he mentions those which you know they are going to be authentic um and those which you know are inauthentic and those which you're uncertain of but what I want to bring your attention to is this paragraph here and he says and that is the category which it is known clearly like you clearly know these are false these

Hadith and how Allah does he say it's through the chain we haven't even got to the chain chain chain chain chain what is

this this is not to do with the chain straight away the text you know this is FID B invalid why the intellect the reason voice of reason rejects it and then he mentions uh right that's to do with this topics and he gives an example um he says so for

example if somebody said human bodies have always existed now imagine this a Hadith that human bodies have always existed he says that the voice of reason wouldn't accept this because you know that human bodies haven't always existed so you'd reject that um and then he goes on all those Hadith which clash with the Quran you know are invalid like there's no Co coercion in Islam uh but obviously um yeah the cision thing I'm giving the example he just mentions that which

clashes with the Quran but about the bodies uh he actually cites that example so this is clearly highlighting as an example just just so you are aware that reason is what immediately tells you whether the Hadith is sah or not so when people ask that is is this something Muti is coming up with of course it isn't this is not just mu Abu this is the tradition of Hadith this is one of the earliest

authoritative texts Within by known as right this by the way is just as a follow-up question follow-up point is something uh since I opened the book it's about he says if a does a rewire from somebody else it does not mean that person is vouched for and he says um he

says he says that and the person who claims that if somebody transmits from someone like they claim about F who transmits bukari that oh because Sak transmitted from him and he's a therefore this is it vouches automatically otherwise he wouldn't transmit he says okay and he says that that and then he goes on to give examples why that doesn't have to be the case and I've mentioned that before anyway uh because otherwise every single person imami transmits from automatically becomes uh everybody ma transmits from

automatically becomes everybody um anybody transmits from Imam Ahmed every single Hadith in the mus of Ahmed would be automatically from his all his teachers would be automatically just because he transmit and not just teachers people he's transmitting from so yeah I thought speaking
