What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenEvery chain Mufti Abu Layth examined for the strongest reports in Bukhari and Muslim contains a criticised narrator, so Qadhi's claim that they leave no doubt fails; accepting a report because al-Bukhari included it, while ignoring critics who were his equals or seniors, is arbitrary.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth turns to the report of Nawwas ibn Sam'an in Sahih Muslim, transmitted by al-Walid ibn Muslim, of whom Abu Mushir says he would drop names and deceive and Ahmad ibn Hanbal that he made many mistakes, so he is out of the question; after him come Yahya [?], the judge of Homs, criticised for sending mursal reports that did not reach the Prophet, and others whose reports were rejected. He says he is skipping some and running over his usual time, having covered only a selection, but that these are the strongest reports Qadhi could present, from Bukhari and Muslim, and that he has shown that every single chain has a problem, whether al-Zuhri, Yunus, Abu al-Zubayr or others; his printout for seven hadith alone ran to twenty pages, and he says Qadhi, with his day and a half of research, has not even seen the ocean. He invites a challenge and a discussion, and anticipates the fair objection that al-Bukhari accepted the report by including it: he replies that those who challenged these narrators were equal dons, some greater and more senior than al-Bukhari, so that going with al-Bukhari's judgement alone is arbitrary, and that in any case this is doubt upon doubt where Qadhi claimed none.

Position stated
Mufti Abu Layth says every chain he examined for the strongest reports of Jesus's return in Bukhari and Muslim has a criticised narrator, so Qadhi's claim that they leave no doubt fails, and that accepting a report because al-Bukhari included it while ignoring critics who were his equals or seniors is arbitrary.
“all of these chains are problematic every single chain has had a problem in it”

mention him as not reliable hence this narration is in muslim right and you've got also now i i'm having to skip through some of these this is another rewire in muslim from nawaz ibn saman that he quoted waleed now check this out we'll lead them to muslim abu mushair mentions that he would narrate hadith
and he would he would blag certain names drop them deceive people ahmed ibn humble says he made many mistakes so he's out the question you've got yahiab after him in the chain oh with the all right one oh right sorry one moment one moment before i get to to this where's the uh let me just finish that one then i'm gonna come to the other two
that he said so you've got waleed who's unacceptable you've got that i've mentioned there um says he's weak his life uh he says then you've got yahya athati who was the judge of hamps um he has been problematized that you know he used to send a lot of irsal hadith that didn't really reach the prophet uh abdulrahman that some of his hadith have been rejected as well that muhammad ibn assad
right so sorry yep so muhammad that they would uh reject his hadith problematizing it so that's no worse who he claimed uh this rewire which is in muslim then what happens is yasar khadi went on to present some chains now as you can see people this obviously takes a lot of time i'm going over my normal time frame and i've only
done select hadith i'm going to in inshallah line time to come go over the rest of them these are the strongest ones they could possibly present the strongest the strongest people bukhari and muslim what he said i've shown that how are these people utterly you know where he said this is it doesn't leave there's no doubt how is there no doubt all of these chains are problematic every single chain has had a problem in it you know whether it was the whether it was zohari whether it was going to be uh all of these people ibrahimovic whether it was going to be
abu zubay or whether it was going to be even a bouquet whether it was going to they all been problematized and the ibrahim one i think i may not have even i think i may have just brushed past that because he was in one of the chains there even was in the bukhari um chain and this people this was just a tiny printout of the of the we've got this on oh you know he's speaking about these hundred chains seventy ten every single one we've got this this was a time on just what seven hadith and it was twenty pages i had to print off there's so much
uh this whole thing has been he's saying i've done one and a half day research you haven't done anything you haven't even seen the ocean yet you're just like sitting by some it's not even a stream it's some sewage somewhere this is the ocean the ocean this is deep my friend this is some deep stuff and i would love for them to to come and challenge let's discuss this now they may say that look he may say and this is a fair point they may say look yes but some these people have considered them to be sahih
let's say we put it in bukhari bukhari's accepted the hadith he's put it there naturally if he's put it there it's an indication that he's accepting it that is fair enough but what about the people who are challenging it they are equal dons some are greater is greater than bukhari he's more senior to him i mean who why does one person get to say is it not arbitrary you know you're just making an arbitrary judgment you're just saying well you know i'm going with the fact that he said it's okay but a moment ago you said
that there's no doubt in these hadith no doubt i've shown doubt upon doubt you know there was a hadith in bukhari um that was transmitted by uh with yaki abdullah who says we do not consider him to be rel an evidence reliable and says he's naive he's weak unacceptable
