What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenThe Aisha report rests on one transmitter who dictated tens of thousands of hadith from memory in Isbahan, and only his version has the Dajjal emerge from the Jews of Isbahan, which Mufti Abu Layth finds suspicious.
In more detail
Taking up the hadith of Aisha, Mufti Abu Layth says its narrators are problematised, among them a Yahya [?] who sent mursal reports and about whom al-Duri relates that they would tell him a hadith in the afternoon and by evening he would teach it to them as if he knew it from elsewhere. The most important point, he says, is the first transmitter, not the famous Abu Dawud but an older namesake with his own hadith book, Abu Dawud [al-Tayalisi] [?], the only one to transmit this report with Jesus in it from Aisha; others transmit only the Prophet saying that if the Dajjal comes while he is among them he will contend with him. He tells how this transmitter, undervalued in Basra, moved to Isbahan, where nobody wanted to learn from him, and began dictating hadith en masse without being asked and without a book, some forty-one thousand, with mistakes in at least a thousand, as Ibn Adi and others relate. Only in his version, Mufti says, does the Dajjal emerge from the Jews of Isbahan, the very place where he felt undervalued, and he asks his audience whether that is not suspicious.

no doubt i've shown doubt upon doubt you know there was a hadith in bukhari that was transmitted by uh with yahyab we do not consider him to be rel an evidence reliable and nasa says his is weak unacceptable then he goes on to say okay these companions are not that well known what about major well-known companions let me tell you something people let me show you something this is quite
interesting right so this is the hadith of aisha that uh he brings up now apart from all these people being problematized here so i want to highlight something apart from even they're not this confusion who he was uh some people say abu hatim says no he was somebody else okay he says he you know used to blag with atleast says uh you know he would send hadith mursal which wouldn't reach the prophet uh now check this out dory transmit something
interesting about yahweh because he says he says we used to tell him a hadith in the afternoon and by evening he used to come and teach it to us as though he knows this hadith from somewhere else [Laughter] he's not strong you know quite weak in hadith uh al-fallah says he transmits we don't transmit from him he's in this chain but you know the most important thing about this chain i want to show this hadith i want to show you guys
is not that it's that check this out the first person this guy is abu dhabi he's not the famous you know you've got the famous abu dhabi there's another famous abu dhabi slightly older than him called abu dhabi he also has a book on hadith right the muslims he transmits this hadith of jesus he's the only one to transmit it from aisha check this out people i want you to grasp this he claims not only in the beginning of the other hadith so the one he doesn't transmit these other weak people transmitting but
they transmit not jesus in it they transmit the prophet saying if the jail comes i'm here for you i can handle him in his version jesus will come okay and what else will happen check this out he says now i have to tell you guys a little story here check this [Laughter] you know a bit of masala
this guy he was a major he knew loads of hadith he was a great like has invested his life in hadith but he was undervalued yeah in his lifetime so people never took hadith from him much and they kind of undervalued him so he felt very undervalued in basra so he moves he goes to asbahan right in modern day iran he goes there and nobody wants to learn hadith from him like he's they just didn't have an interest like they you know he just didn't have that pull so the scholars mention now check this out um mentions this for last mentions the ibn bihar
from ibn shabba that he went there he transmits hadith ibn adi transmits this story as well he started just transmitting hadith on mass without even being asked they say he transmitted 41 000 hadith without being asked and they say he didn't even have a book so he's just doing this and what is it johari mentions that he's made mistakes in at least one thousand hadith so he is this person who's undervalued is in a place he's trying to transmit hadith nobody wants to take it from him he's transmitting without a book he
starts just transmitting 41 000 hadith yeah he transmits a hadith about the dajjal and jesus he says in his hadith check this out guess not only is that the jail coming guess where he's going to come from he says he's going to come from [Laughter] you jews here in osmahan [Laughter] so he's undervalued and all of a sudden in us behind in his narration the jal is going to come out from us behind amongst the jewish people
there he's the only person to have ever said that and that's where he was massively undervalued now you tell me is that not suspicious right then i wanted to highlight and then wrap up as well all of this uh there's a hadith of ibn masarud he mentioned abnormal now this there's no idea who he is some people say his name is rafara afaza
