# Can the hadith on Jesus's return be questioned, and how many of them depend on Abu Hurayra? *Closing: reports against reason can be questioned; eighty percent through Abu Hurayra* - URL: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/tr3nsx3ufy8/s/30/ - Date: 2021-03-14 · Kind: lesson · Transcript tier: machine · Recording: Reply to Yasir Qadhi's False Claims on 2nd Coming of Jesus | Mufti Abu Layth (2:13:58–2:17:46) - Status: general teaching - Watch from the start of the segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR3NSX3UFy8&t=8038s - Recording page: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/tr3nsx3ufy8/ **Topics:** Narrator criticism; Mutawatir and certainty; The second coming of Jesus **Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Reports that go against reason can be questioned, and not one unquestionable hadith establishes the return: eighty percent of them come through Abu Hurayra alone, about half through one man, and the other companions cited are obscure. Mufti Abu Layth promises a continuing series, Disclosure with a big D. **Checked position (checked by two independent reviews, not by the channel):** Mufti Abu Layth holds that reports which go against reason may be questioned, that eighty percent of the hadith on Jesus's return come through Abu Hurayra alone and about half through one man, and that the other companions cited are obscure, so no unquestionable hadith establishes the return. **Evidence, his words at 2:14:44:** “bring me one unquestionable hadith just one to prove this that there's no question about anything in its chain” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR3NSX3UFy8&t=8084s) ## Longer summary Mufti Abu Layth asks how one cannot question reports that go against reason, given fluids beneath the Throne and slave girls doing the research, and says this is his point about such beliefs. He says there is more to cover but that it takes long, and challenges anyone to bring a single unquestionable hadith with no problem in its chain to prove the return. He says that eighty percent of these hadith come through Abu Hurayra alone and almost fifty percent through one man, that the other companions cited are not the well-known ones, with the Ibn Mas'ud and Aisha reports resting on the narrators he has described, and that the report of Umar being told by rabbis of their belief is not Umar relating the Prophet's words; he asks how what is supposed to be the greatest event in history reached us only through companions one rarely hears of, such as Nawwas ibn Sam'an, and through problematised chains. He repeats that over the coming weeks he will continue in a series he calls Disclosure with a big D, since Qadhi gave half truths, acknowledges a chat comment about his imitation of the slave girl, and wraps up the session. ## Sources and names cited - Abu Hurayra - al-Nawwas ibn Sam'an - Umar ibn al-Khattab - Yasir Qadhi - a hadith that goes against reason may be questioned ## Transcript (machine tier, 2:13:58–2:17:46) [2:13:27] she's like mahadasha just put a pug on her head they go hella sit down [Laughter] here's the slave girl sitting there she's like ah jesus is coming [Laughter] oh yeah jesus man honestly i don't then they say why can you question this stuff how can we not question it how can we not question it i mean there's plenty sperm blizzards that are happening and we've got to kind of watch out for [2:14:06] god knows showers of sperm coming down and there's got to be i don't know sperm banks up there under the throne of god and these slave girls who are sitting as madison she's sitting as the doing the matala of the kutum i mean how does this stuff seriously how is this not questionable if if it goes against reason so this is my point that when you have these beliefs that look [2:14:44] uh that you know all these things and i will go through the rest of this as well but just it's taken you see it takes so long this is the problem i will show you guys there's no such they say that there's a side bring me one unquestionable hadith just one to prove this that there's no question about anything in its chain you know eighty percent of these entire hadith are just through abu hurairah just through him and almost fifty percent of the entire narration is just through one man ibn the other companions that they're [2:15:24] quoting are not these reliable companions like i suppose they've got this of ibn masaru saying oh the sperm is going to come down and stuff that's nonsense transmitted by that guy who's got his slave girl checking and one narration from aisha where uh because he had a hard time this behind now that the gel is going to come out of us behind there are [2:15:54] they might say oh there's a narration where umar is being told by the rabbis that we believe in this but umar himself is not saying the prophet said it we come on this is what meant to be the greatest thing in history that's ever meant to happen how has it not been transmitted except through on you know like nawaz ibn saman now you don't commonly hear of this companion you don't commonly these companions that they're gonna quote you don't hear of them so and then their chains are problematized also so yeah just to be clear there is [2:16:33] so much to go on in this and what i will continue to do is over the weeks i will call it i will call this disclosure with a big d because what ya did is he just did half truths somebody said muftisab looks like right now i was trying to imitate the slave girl they put a bug on her head [2:17:05] and they're like there you go they're like where's the mothers she's like i'm the mother can you imagine her researching she must have been like what what exactly does he expect me to be doing here he's like yeah it's done jesus is coming [Laughter] so i will tackle all of these issues one by one people so insha allah you know what we gotta wrap this up it's [2:17:43] been going ## Cite Mufti Abu Layth Archive, segment TR3NSX3UFy8/s/30. https://muftiabulayth.org/r/tr3nsx3ufy8/s/30/ Not a fatwa: these answers were given to specific people at specific times.
