# Why does Mufti Abu Layth say BukhariGate matters? *Closing verdict: one transmitter, and reports that repay the Prophet with disrespect* - URL: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/iijbmtxueow/s/10/ - Date: 2018-09-01 · Kind: lesson · Transcript tier: machine · Recording: BukhariGate Part 2: Sahih Bukhari is NOT so Sahih -Mufti Abu Layth (30:03–32:41) - Status: general teaching - Watch from the start of the segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IijbMTxUEOw&t=1803s - Recording page: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/iijbmtxueow/ **Topics:** Sahih al-Bukhari (BukhariGate); Reports that disrespect the Prophet; Salafism and Wahhabism **Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** BukhariGate matters because the whole of Sahih al-Bukhari rests on one transmitter, al-Farabri, and because the reports in it repay the Prophet and his companions with disrespect. Mufti Abu Layth attributes their circulation to Wahhabis and their sympathisers, whom he condemns in strong terms. **Checked position (checked by two independent reviews, not by the channel):** Mufti Abu Layth holds that BukhariGate matters because the whole of Sahih al-Bukhari rests on al-Farabri alone and because its reports repay the Prophet, Umar and Aisha with disrespect, and he attributes the circulation of these reports to Wahhabis and their sympathisers, whom he calls haters of the Prophet. **Evidence, his words at 30:22:** “this is why Buhari gate was so important and we have to remember this whole book transmitted on the back of one man robbery robbery” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IijbMTxUEOw&t=1822s) ## Longer summary Mufti Abu Layth mentions briefly a report, which he numbers 137 [?], that the Prophet slept until something like snoring could be heard and then rose and prayed without renewing wudu, which he finds odd. His point, he says, is that this is why BukhariGate was so important: the whole book is transmitted on the back of one man, al-Farabri, and the public will not forgive those transmitting what he calls nonsense and hatred against the Prophet. He lists the reports he has discussed and others: that a prophet would go to a hundred women and be punished with a disabled child, that the Prophet fell unconscious when uncovered, that he married a little girl, that he forgot the Quran and had to be reminded, that revelation came down and omitted the disabled until it was corrected, that Umar spoke of extra verses that used to be in the Quran, and that the devil is at Aisha's house. He says this is how the Wahhabis, whom he calls filthy haters of the Prophet, and their sympathisers and semi-Wahhabis today repay the Prophet, Umar and Aisha with such reports. ## Sources and names cited - Sahih al-Bukhari 137 as cited (the Prophet slept until he could be heard breathing deeply and prayed without wudu) [?] (reference uncertain; possibly https://sunnah.com/bukhari:137) - Sahih al-Bukhari - Muhammad ibn Yusuf al-Farabri - Umar ibn al-Khattab - Aisha - Salafi (Wahhabi) ## Transcript (machine tier, 30:03–32:41) [29:43] beloved - Muslims generally speaking we seriously need to be questioning what on earth we're trying to push as and there were many other things you know like little things I mean these ain't big things but once again had the earth like look not the prophets went to sleep some Nadia - Amma had to another until you could kind of hear almost like snores like my old kind of snoring almost like that deep sleep kind of and then he gets up and praise and he says him well of me it's odd that he didn't do what do you [30:22] know like this is in hadith 137 my point is people that this is the issue this is why Buhari gate was so important and we have to remember this whole book transmitted on the back of one man robbery robbery gonna trolling him for every coat entomophagy the public will not forgive forever anybody transmitting I mean it doesn't have to be just for every no people transmitting this nonsense this hatred [31:01] against our prophet this disrespect saying that the Prophet Solomon and this I will have sex like this and then being cursed by God like as punished with a handicapped child saying the Prophet felt naked saying that our prophet Mary a little girl saying that our prophet forgot the Quran and was reminded by somebody saying our prophet was sitting there the revelation came down wrong they forgot to mention the the disabled people and then he got updated saying things like oh all of these things are marked on hot table saying there's extra [31:39] verses in the Quran that used to be the all of these kind of things people all of these kind of things especially things like this look just think about it the Prophet saying I forgot the Quran oh oh I forgot oh I'd forgotten that oh yeah that was the Quran wasn't it without I forgot that verse this is how they repay Oprah this is how these were hobbies honestly these filthy prop haters of our prophet honestly this is how they repay our prophet and these [32:18] were Hobby sympathizers today I like semi war hobbies as well this is how they want to repay the Prophet with this kind of nonsense and his companions they want to repay Omar like that they want to repay Aisha like that the Aisha oh you know the her house is where the devil is and stuff like this and this is what this is the nonsense ## Cite Mufti Abu Layth Archive, segment IijbMTxUEOw/s/10. https://muftiabulayth.org/r/iijbmtxueow/s/10/ Not a fatwa: these answers were given to specific people at specific times.
