# Refute me with sahih evidence: lying about the Prophet and the charge of misguidance - URL: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/r7s1dcclcwu/s/6/ - Date: 2018-01-02 · Kind: lesson · Transcript tier: machine · Recording: Reply to Abu Ibraheem (Salafi)- By Mufti Abu Layth al-Maliki (36:43–40:38) - Status: general teaching - Watch from the start of the segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7s1DcClcwU&t=2203s - Recording page: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/r7s1dcclcwu/ **Topics:** Responses to critics; Hadith in legal reasoning and hadith absolutism **Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Mufti Abu Layth invites refutation but only on categorical evidence from the Quran and sahih hadith, and says quoting weak reports falsely attributed to the Prophet is shameful. **Checked position (checked by two independent reviews, not by the channel):** Mufti Abu Layth says anyone may try to prove him wrong but must bring categorical evidence from the Quran and the Sunnah, and that quoting weak reports as the Prophet's words is attributing lies to him. **Evidence, his words at 40:04:** “you and any of anybody else out there is most welcome to prove concepts prove me wrong but bring me categorical evidences from the kitab it was sooner and prove your point” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7s1DcClcwU&t=2404s) ## Longer summary Finishing the chain analysis, Mufti Abu Layth says he does not enjoy correcting a Salafi on hadith and that the critic tried but brought no sahih report. He says anyone is welcome to refute him, but that every refutation will receive a response, and warns against arrogance with the verse that above every person of knowledge is one more knowing. He says that looks, a necklace or a t-shirt will not let anyone quote weak hadith at him and get away with falsely attributing nonsense to the Messenger of God, and cites the report that whoever attributes a lie to the Prophet should prepare for damnation, which he says is sahih. He answers the charge that he tells people what they want to hear by asking who he is to conceal the knowledge of the religion, and the charge that he is misguided and fallen by saying that wherever he falls he falls in God's grace and it is not the critic's concern. He repeats that anyone may prove him wrong with categorical evidence from the Quran and Sunnah and let him respond. ## Sources and names cited - Abu Ibraheem Husnayn - Quran 12:76 (above every person of knowledge is one more knowing) [?] (reference uncertain; possibly https://quran.com/12/76) - report: he who attributes a lie to me let him prepare for damnation (unresolved; he calls it sahih) - a refutation must rest on categorical evidence from the Quran and Sunnah ## Transcript (machine tier, 36:43–40:38) [36:17] Bazaar says hadith or Mucca Mucca by Adi Oh what does that famous debate to say when he's debating a selfie he says OHS I've had this hollow volley Wahhabi oh why why why on the Wahabis why are the selfies quoting by hadith and he doesn't feel right I have to correct you for your wickedy yeah this one not nice this on this one too [36:56] much it no feels good you know I look like I the modernist you look like the Salafi naughty-naughty you tried it lets me fail let's be fair he tried he tried it yeah gosh if only he brought me a CD if only he broke is this war I'm up against [Laughter] so [37:34] so as you can see people this is the kind of stuff when people want to do a refutation by all means refute me refute me I'm here to be refuted I'm just sitting here for you to review me by all means but know that there will be for every herself I'll catch of alcohol gababa there will be a response [38:11] and lest you are arrogant and forget the verse of God what Fokker could leave the al-amin Halim and above each person of knowledge is somebody of greater knowledge so do not be deceived by these kind of looks or this necklace so this I don't know the t-shirt and think that you can quote life hadith to me and somehow get away with it falsely attributed nonsense to the [38:48] Messenger of God have you no shame where is your love the Prophet said man Casimir I am what I am me then valia taboo mock Idaho mean enough he who attributes a lie to me let him prepare for damnation I mean that's a Sahib yes I got a say and then telling people that look oh you know he does this to to kind of for [39:26] the whims and desires of people who am I to conceal the knowledge of this theme Who am I and he says that oh he just tells people what they want to hear he's misguided his deviant he's he's astray is fallen a la la I'm fallen don't you worry about me falling that is not your concern wherever wherever I fall I [40:04] shall fall in his grace it is nothing to do with you it is not your concern Fira Mattila i shall fall if i fall so the point is look you and any of anybody else out there is most welcome to prove concepts prove me wrong but bring me categorical evidences from the kitab it was sooner and prove your point and let me respond so anyway i thought that was worth some ## Cite Mufti Abu Layth Archive, segment R7s1DcClcwU/s/6. https://muftiabulayth.org/r/r7s1dcclcwu/s/6/ Not a fatwa: these answers were given to specific people at specific times.
