ah Haram per se but what I'm saying is believing in superstition is forbidden because it cripples the human cognitive faculty okay right i alaikum as-salaam right so people just tuning in click like click share people get this alfie right let's take a look at some discussions with right ok I've been asked some questions I've been asked a question on hadith listen some some interesting serious talk people on

0:38

hadith so I I answered a question a few I think was it the week before last on some miracles of the Prophet okay I'd like to touch up on this topic because I've seen it online a few discussions about this I've seen some viral videos I don't know how viral they are but some I mean they were sent to me anyway and I even had somebody approached me at a at a petrol pump so if the brother watches this

1:17

he'll probably know who he is right to have a discussion on this because he had seen also these viral videos which I have also seen now so these videos were saying alluding to me being blasphemous okay to the Companions because in a I said in a previous discussion I was asked about the the miracles of the Prophet and this mystery that kind of allegedly cried and would speak this kind of like speaking crying tree in the

1:56

time of the Prophet and I said there's no such thing and these hadith are not established okay I said that I said that these things are not established they are a and I and I said that the Dean's have problems and I touched upon them briefly last time but I also then said that look somebody may ask that but why okay if you go with the argument that they are established let's say if you go with the argument that they are established why would sometimes certain companions say things like this and I

2:36

said look it's out of their love for the Prophet that over time people when recounting things will naturally it's natural to exaggerate the virtues out of love for somebody and I said look people today even do this for their own beads and shares they claim them to be doing all these miracles and things like this so I said that look in the past naturally for the Prophet some people may have done this but we don't need to kind of exaggerate the virtues because the Prophet for us was already such an

3:14

amazing and incredible person and for us was the best of creation so that's what I say on my video so this one person he kind of is making a recording of my video and then there were some comments on different kind of statuses as well saying oh my god the Sahaba exaggerate the virtues of that like the exaggerated and this can mean this can mean not that I'm saying but these people are saying that are you trying to say the Sahaba lie and therefore oh my god blasphemy

3:49

blasphemy blasphemy right first of all right we do not live in fifteen sixteenth century people okay you need to chill out with all this kind of like blasphemy and heathens and pagans and all this kind of speech right we we live in the 21st century welcome to 2018 okay just to start off with secondly right I I wanna touch demonstrate going to do two things I'm going to

4:29

explain this situation and the greater context but before that I'm going to demonstrate that these hadith are not established okay these I do not believe these incidents to be true and I do believe that these chains are inaccurate right now I'll go through some of these for you right now I know there's a few chains but I'll go through the strongest some of the strongest ones and then you can I mean you can get gained from that an example of other things now I want to highlight that look

5:06

Sahil Bihari yeah it's an amazing book it's an amazing effort to preserve the hadith of the messenger of allah salallahu lism however Imam Malik Imam Abu Hanifa these great Imams taught us that we differentiate between hadith and some man not every hadith is a Sunnah Imam Malik rejected several hadith despite them being so he having a valid chain he rejected them outright and this is evident in his motto but let's come to this point

5:44

you see Imam Buhari has approximately over 8,000 narrations in his book if let's say 100 of them even have issues with them and are unreliable and eventually declared to be unacceptable that's no big deal compared to the overall 8000 that he has he still did an excellent job but what we shouldn't do is become blind following kind of dogmatists that we refused to look at the evidence when you look at the great

6:21

scholars of hadith like al-hafiz a node in a hierarchy when he's speaking about Buhari he says look just when what our ruling on Bihari is that the chain of hadith if it is connected we will declare its aji but that does not mean he says that does not mean la he says this does not mean anomic don't miss a hottie that this is certain certainly valid he says because it's very possible that these people made mistakes then these great scholars of

6:59

hadith like abuzer are like a yubisaki Ani like shush Shabba like workday I like Sophie an authority like imam malik like a Behati Marazzi like al haqq him like al-bayhaqi like all these Bihari Muslim abu dawood it nabi Dawood all these great scholars of hadith Nessa either put me they all disagreed yeah I mean yeah he decided in a hot pan I leave non Medini all these scholars disagree on rulings of hadith so just because Bihari here agrees on one thing doesn't mean others do let me

7:37

give you an example so this chain of hadith for example that let's take the hadith of Jabbar that the Prophet had this tree that used to cry and make sounds and scream and stuff like this now this a hadith that Buhari transmits from aurora great hadith known as a benign who transmits from Abdullah he didn't Ayman al Habashi from his father a manner Habashi I'm assuming from jabya now let's just take that one as an example in this chain after what he did nabi Ayman sorry

8:17

Abdullah he did naman scholars have said about him abou haughty Marazzi when his son asks him about Abdullah head even Ayman he says yes we write his hadith his son asked him do we rely on up the rides hadith as evidence Hal you had Juba ha and he says no in a mire that Juba hadith is of yarn Walker though we can document them but he doesn't consider them reliable okay let's he's transmitting from his

8:53

father Ayman al Hakim assuming who is Amon as Lobby says the Amon Lemurian who allow a little only his son of the ride is the only person to transmit from he says to me this person is unreliable fajita hala even if some people declared him to be okay but to me he's problematic there you go people that chain is that chain is problematic let's take a look at another

9:30

chain once again in Bihari this chain this hadith is to do with from jab it again about there being a tree in the same incident the tree used to cry and make sounds and things like this because they turned it into a member and because they were gonna turn it into a member the tree started crying and the Prophet came and put his hand on it these things are unreliable these stories this Bihari says is my live Nabi Owais transmits this from his brother who is Abdul Hameed Abu Bakr naboo waist who transmits this from Solomon if Nabil al from from

10:09

Yamini Syed from half Sigma obey the lugnut Ana's who is the great grandson of aniseed nomadic the Sahabi so half says who hears it from jebin now first of all halves the grandson of Anna's what does Apple heard him say about him a Behati Marazzi he says Larry yes butl Osama Allah under Deanna's we only know of him to transmit from anis radi allahu on not from any other Sahabi he says I don't the fact he transmits from Geritol

10:49

Ayesha we do not know this to be established let's not stop this who is Bihari transmitting from the first person in the chain is my lip Nabi aways second person in the chain his brother is smile from his brother over corruptor comedic Nabil ways both of them are declared naive week by yagna marine and then on top of that message right on top of that nursery declares is my lead not be a voice to be weak about the hood did not used to like the narrations of it's my live now be a waste and I've rate is my love never be a

11:28

waste as a person I love him but I'm being objective here even even abdill bar in his commentary on the term he'd says that these are weak or what we cruet right so even if Buhari accepted them many of them had the thing did not accept them many of them had the thing did not accept them in fact yeah he attained would say that there were three households that he would openly reject openly reject these households amongst them the household of our even awesome amongst them the household of Al Arabiya

12:04

wastes and always all of the offspring from owaisi's family he had managed to declare them naive he's to declare them live this hadith unacceptable Buhari accepted it that's fine other Oh Lamar didn't write let me give you another example right now they say hadith from an asymptomatic on this same incident about the tree so the transit its intermediate term ad says Mahmoud

12:43

Maryland tells him from home Rebney Yunus from a cro-magnon mark from is half of the lightener batalha from anis throw the Aloha on right now let's just take a look at this chain straight away straight away economic man straight away a crime even imam ali a mommy and a jelly right he is bihari says sahib o monarchy although term it is accepting him Buhari isn't accepting him he calls him monka he transmits monk

13:20

rewired what does I would out say about him horrible hadith his a hadith have if there are life out let's take a look at another example right who pay even a cab this is a hadith from oh babe niqab it's transmitted in a few books enable major in the Muslim department by Imam Shafi'i as well chef is chain is chef Ian ibrahim abu mohammed from abdullah muhammad even appeal from to fail ignore beiieve niqab from his father away even

13:55

a cab okay now this hadith if you look at it let's just take a look straight there up to live no Mohammed evening are till after lightning Mohammed Amin RT right who is the grandson of a deal if Nabi talib radiyallahu anh so Muhammad did not the lighten our key yeah even my naive declares him naive in hadith at the Hobby says layer 30 a ladder gentle active judge was a ha he is not of a standard of reliability and although Ahmed and even imagining a

14:35

chain from another are we obey the lightener Amer a rocky right who there is some Kalam in arguably he's a trustworthy narrator but people like if NASA had said he's Cathedral hadith sadaq war Obama after and maybe he makes some mistakes but even even who they bringing their change from obey the lightener a Marathi from Raqqa back in the day obviously is classic he's too transmits from obey the live no Muhammad did not heal who we've already said according to

15:12

your human mind is by right so people these are for I mean right there are given you six narrations all life right unreliable so this is important to understand that just because somebody says that just sorry my John sorry right so just because somebody says this hadith is in Buhari doesn't make it protect it doesn't make it yes Buhari is an

15:51

excellent job Bernal a smiley like either only the Book of Allah is entirely in its entirety we believe as Muslims to be preserved a hadith they've had an excellent job but they are not infallible okay now so that's the other thing is I want to touch upon here is look these people insinuating that I may have been blasphemous to the Companions right so guys pay attention to this I

16:29

want you to focus on these focus focus focus right so some people saying that look you right don't ya don't kind of just troll the thing anybody troll in the comment section is gonna get blocked do do I use Brylcreem no I don't right so now people saying to me that look owed you maybe by saying some of the Companions you know first of all I don't believe these narrations to be authentic .

17:03

but the question is if you did believe them what would you respond by and I would respond by saying well fine that's you know maybe out of the excessive love that they exaggerated hyperbolic speech like used hyperbole now some people saying oh by saying that you're being blasphemous let me ask you

17:30

right guys any of you any of you kind of trolling are gonna get blocked so focus focus people unlike you to share this get this out there this is something very important I'm going to say now right first of all I want to mention one thing is that several months back online there was this huge kind of I don't know where it came out of but there was this kind of spontaneous effort online to kind of malign one of the Companions of the Prophet that was my area rhodium or one and people were insulting him swearing at him outright using swear

18:10

words and things like this I found nobody at the time on the online kind of scholarly Islamic Sunni community defending mahalia of the Aloha I was the only person that spoke out very clearly condemning those people for attacking maha of the alarm but put that aside more important even more important things and I'd like you to click like click share people get this out there

18:40

right let's go greater than the companions let's go to the prophet of God the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu our lives in them and prophets I'm gonna ask you a question I'm gonna ask these sunni so-called are shipped lovers of the prophet a question tell me how would you feel if you came across since you seem to be so sensitive to these things and

19:17

the love of iman is kind of pulsating in your heart right how would you feel if somebody was to use words today like say oh the prophet became clumsy how would you feel the Prophet didn't know what he was doing he would just make silly mistakes he became clumsy couldn't speak coherently or he the Prophet was forgetful started to fantasize events how would you feel if you started to hear these things how

19:56

would you feel if somebody told you that the prophet of God used to have sexual relations with a child how would you feel that they told you that he used to have sexual relations with a nine year old child how would you feel how would you feel if we told you that the prophet of God was so incapable that he would have magic done on to him by a Jew that could debilitate him for months on end for half a year rendering the prophet of God how would you feel if somebody said

20:34

the Prophet became sexually impotent how would you feel is this does this not make your blood boil how would you feel if somebody said that a prophet of God Moses was running around naked so people could see his testicles just to find out whether he had a disease or not how would you feel how would you feel how would you feel if somebody told you or if somebody said that the prophet of God

21:11

he sent one of his companions i'li to murder somebody because apparently that person was having an affair with his own with the prophets servant with the prophets kind of what you call servant who the Prophet had a child with so he sent somebody to kill him only to realize that that was absolutely a mistake because that person didn't even have a penis so how would you feel how would you feel is this not blasphemy it is absolute blasphemy

21:49

absolute utter rubbish these things are rubbish garbage being rigged educated in the name of Islam fuel for Islamophobia I urge you I beg you to please denounce this rubbish as blasphemy why am I the only person the only person doing this where are the Sunnis the lovers of the Prophet they endorse endorse support and endorse that the Prophet was having sexual relationship with the child nine

22:28

year old how disgusting of a teaching are they pushing this is utter nonsense right they endorse that the prophet Moses was running around naked so people could see his his private parts they endorsed that the Prophet became ill and weak and sexually impotent and started to fantasize things they induce these things they induce that the Prophet sent Sedna Ali to kill this the cousin of Maria why am I the own sort of do you even accept Maria or they allow on her as a as the wife of the Prophet I do

23:08

because the student of Imam Malik put her as the wife of the Prophet right I will have st. Ignace of Allah in his book declares her to be the wife not a servant not a slave why do you not accept this why do they refuse to accept her as the wife of the Prophet they say she was a slave and the Prophet she was a slave that the Prophet would have sexual intercourse with that is not true she was his wife radi allahu allah and why are you blindly following people you say oh they will say to you oh the reason I accept all these this kind of rubbish is because Oh a great scholar

23:47

from the sixteenth century said it's okay Oh if Naja said it's okay look I loved and respected Naja but my loyalty and love for the messenger of God is much above the kind of Tolerance level on the social acceptability of Abner Hodges 16 15 14 century I don't care I'm not responsible for what even Hajer accepted as a social practice and he didn't the truth is the messenger of God is above that stop blindly following your sect stop blindly following your

24:25

shoe have the courage I challenge you I urge you I beg you to denounce this rubbish in the name of God and for the love of His Messenger do not teach this blasphemy right this is what you are doing you're endorsing blasphemy and then helped and if you're not going to do that because I know you are far too intimidated far too intimidated by your petty crowd and you silly followers and just for their support and your kind of sectarian dogmatism to reject this even

25:04

the love of the Prophet cannot bring you to some defending his honor today and I tell you seriously wallahi by Allah Allah will hold you to account for not defending the honor of the Prophet that you have stood by and allowed his name to be defiled you've allowed his name to be kind of thrown in the dirt you've allowed these fabricated stories to be circulated about him having sexual relationships with a child you've allowed this nonsense of him becoming sexually impotent and stuff like this to be taught in the name of Islam you will

25:43

be held accountable by Allah so I tell you that if you have the courage rise for the love of the Prophet denounce this garbage this blasphemous rubbish and then and if you're not going to if you're not going to right then at least don't don't have the hypocrisy or the double standards to call out other people when they say things like oh maybe somebody out of the excessive love for the Prophet exaggerated don't be

26:21

call that blasphemy that's not blasphemy this is blasphemy so if you're not going to if you're not going to denounce that rubbish that I told you which is what Tom what is it Tommy Robinson all these kind of Islamophobic fascist racist groups love it they love that kind of speech coming from the Milano's because they use it I watched an episode about Muslim sex grooming gangs and kind of pedophilia

27:00

and do you know what the nut Islamophobes on they were saying they were saying well this is fine for the Muslims because they Prophet did this and they believed that they Prophet did this so it's fine who is gonna answer for this it's not good it's going to be us as Muslims we are going to answer so look as I was saying I and those of you who this eye shadow of the Allahu Allah I've got a whole video dedicated to this it's on YouTube I do mention Ayesha I don't know specifically but all the

27:37

evidence demonstrates she was in her late teens when she got married so the evidence varies whether she was if some text may say she was 19 1780 but she was in her late teens when she got married now and I've got a whole video going through evidence upon evidence to demonstrate that so do think do watch that but yes on my point here is that look if you're going to you know don't either kind of stand true to the love of the Prophet oh just don't kind of use that card you know it's okay you know

28:15

you this card has been used too much by kind of like Brill V scholars and these people against seller fees and against the open these and again you know this Gustav Gustav blasphemy blasphemy and the truth is that you do nothing but support our Turkish taffy yourselves utter right so that's the truth after kind of blaspheming and you don't have the courage to speak out against it so then at least don't kind of cool views this card on other people whoa
