and you get other stories by the way like another very popular let me tell you another very popular fabricated or Mis transmitted hadith in salvo hari which is this one about a bull rider of the law unquote the devil and the devil taught him something ridiculous totally ridiculous I mean it completely contradicts the Quran and Sunnah and disrespects Islam because let's just take a look at this hadith there's a hadith in sahih bukhari that the prophet salallahu alaihe salam told about her era that you had that he had the wealth of zakat and which was to be distributed

0:39

so this is the wealth of the Muslims it's like Bayt almal is part of that so it's a like the Muslim Treasury many a step-over era to be extend God over it like I have like night duty on me so Abu Huraira says that whilst I was doing that a man came and he stole from this he steal something Sabo Raider catches him and he makes up some story about how his family are suffering and how they really poor or and things like this and they're really suffering so Abu Huraira decides to let him have him first of all that is bang out of order because it's

1:19

not up to Abu Huraira of the alarm to do to kind of dispense of the wealth from National Treasury of the Muslims just because he feels so he couldn't do this this is right but let alone put that side put that aside so he lets him have it so the next day he comes to the prophet and the Prophet says me Abu Hurairah did something happen last night and he says yes there was a man now that you mentioned there was a man that came and he tried to steal and I caught him and and he said his family was suffering so I gave it to him and the Prophet says to him ah he's a liar

1:56

let's check this out he's a liar Kathy what's a yahood and watch he's gonna come back and lo and behold he comes back this that night so he comes again he steals again and Abu Huraira catches him again and then he tells about her Ayla the same story that all my family and pull on the poor person my family and I were either again lets him take it like look at this so not only is he letting him take money for the second time or not money but things food or whatever it is but it's

2:34

not above raiders to give but the Prophet has declared that that person is a liar yeah Abu Hurairah still disregarding let's say what the Prophet is saying and the prophet has forewarned that watch he'll come back again and he does come back again and a Beretta falls footed again he gets duped again by look how stupid this narration is and then he comes the next day the Prophet asks Abu Huraira hey did something happen and he says yeah actually you know he came again you were right and he told me again and and I believed him again and I gave him again and then abort the

3:14

Prophet says he's a liar watch he will come back again this is in salvo hari by the way so and lo and behold people he comes back against our the thief ow addictive thief he's on it the pathological thief he's back again and he comes to steal and this time up over a toe catches him again and he says aw he says ah listen let me go let me go and he says no not gonna let you go this time and he says ok listen listen listen okay check this he says ok ok listen I'll tell you what if you let me go I

3:52

will teach you something about your religion that you don't know I mean first of all just look at this offer so let me get this right this guy who is a thief who the Prophet uh said is a liar and the Prophet told you yet you have once again you you know you've fallen for his thing again the Prophet said it again you've fallen for it again now this thief has come and he's saying to you you're a companion of the Prophet you've got access to the Prophet but he's saying I will teach about your religion so Abu Huraira says

4:29

okay go on and teach me and he says you know when you go to sleep read ayatul kursi and he teaches him something about a little and then a beret says okay and lets him go so we've got a repetitive kleptomaniac and and a thief who's just non-stop thieving from the Muslim Treasury a beret is allegedly in this hadith constantly falling for it like is that he's being duped constantly and then on the final occasion he's saying you know oh you're gonna teach me about my religion oh that's awesome what is it that you're gonna teach me

5:09

and he teaches him something Russell ayatul kursi about before you go to sleep and read this and then Abu Huraira comes to the prophet and the Prophet says hey did something happen again and he says yes he says actually he came and this time I caught him and then he said he's gonna offer to teach me something about the religion the Prophet said oh really What did he say and he said he said this about I tell Kushi and the Prophet said you know what that was the devil however he told the truth on this occasion how blasphemous is this happy seriously let me get this right what did he mom Alex a mom Alex said that there is nothing

5:47

about this Dean except the Prophet as taught us nothing about this theme except the Prophet has taught it to us as in there is no path to Jannah like worship and DAHS and things like this that are set except the Prophet tortures but here we need the devil the devil people to come and teach us about Islam right and the Prophet ain't teaching them the Prophet saying oh oh yeah oh yeah by the way yeah that's correct I haven't taught it to you by the way but the devil's mentioned oh yeah yeah yeah you got that right what how

6:25

blasphemous disrespectful is this hadith it shows Abu Huraira to be incredibly clumsy it shows up over a dealer to disobey the Prophet it shows the Prophet to have not taught the people this this this rather in we needed the devil to come in teachers Wow it teaches the fact that somebody's thieving from the National Treasury and the profit is letting it happen it teaches the fact that the companion doesn't seem to be so fast he's falling for every night it's a mockery mockery people oh as some movies would say

7:02

Buckley McCready the mockery of the being this this is the kind of sometimes nonsense that is crept into our tradition so we have to this is why be weary that these things go against the Quran they go against the Sunnah they go against our teaching effect they go against like things like Imam Malik has highlighted that the Prophet taught us that all access all rituals of this Deen were taught to us by the Prophet okay we don't need the devil to come and teach

7:39

us those of you those of them that want the devil to be their teacher they more than welcome all right so let's move on
