What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

The guest says the hadith corpus is a deliberate conspiracy against the Quran by its enemies, including the Umayyads, and that reports such as the Banu Qurayza massacre and the killing of a woman critic were fabricated to justify later rulers' crimes.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth says viewers may find the word betrayal loaded and asks whether the guest means a conspiracy, a gradual institutionalisation or a few propagandists. The guest answers that it was absolutely a conspiracy against the Quran by the enemies of Islam, people such as Abu Sufyan, the Umayyads and tribes unhappy that Islam ended their privileges with an egalitarian society, rights for women and shared wealth; he says Makkah was not conquered by the sword, since fath means opening in peace after the battle of minds was lost. Mufti asks whether this sounds like a hyper conspiracy theory. The guest replies that Sunnis and Shias readily accept that Christians and Jews distorted their scriptures but cannot see their own, because nonsense peddled from childhood as holy truth blinds people; he says Bukhari was compiled 230 years after the Prophet with no archaeological evidence even for that, that Mufti agrees hadith may be political propaganda, and that every fabrication has a motive: a man bitten by a black dog fabricates a report to kill black dogs, Christians in the guise of Muslims imported circumcision and the rosary, and rulers fabricated reports to justify massacres. He says the Banu Qurayza massacre is a lie invented to justify Umayyad, Abbasid and Ottoman killings, since the Quran forbids killing captives, and that the report of the Prophet killing a woman who insulted him contradicts 4:140, which prescribes only leaving the company of mockers.
