**Topics:** Quran-only movement; False and fabricated hadith; Hadith collections and their history

**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** 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.

## Longer summary

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.

## Transcript (machine tier, 21:29–27:59)

[21:03] major errors they are not mistakes accidental mistakes minor mistakes they are deliberate distortion they wanted to distort the message of the Quran turn it to a book of idol worship and ignorance it is absolutely the Muslim so-called Muslim world betrayed the Quran through Hadees and soon a fabrication of Hadees and Sunnah is major yes just just to what audience may be thinking these are some harsh words here that they betrayed

[21:41] the Quran to you do you really feel that they betrayed the Quran with or is this something and a gradual institutionalization process or or is it a select few that did some propaganda and got it wise for me what do you because people listening to this may think well that's a bit of a loaded term no it's a conspiracy against Quran Hadees and sooner it is absolutely conspiracy against Quran deliberately done by the enemies of the Islam Quran and those people you may study history you may find them maybe Abu Sufian or Umayyads or some tribes

[22:19] but they were not happy with how Islam eliminated the days of ignorance they were top and they were happy with their tribes and they had they could do whatever they want but Islam wrote egalitarian society rights for women and Freedoms and also sharing the wealth with other people all these things bother them but what they access into obviously with the opening of Mecca and it was my care was not conquered by

[22:57] sward absolutely conquering by sewer the word for to heart or feta is also the concept is entirely distorted according to the Quran the fat who is opening it means opening it in peace because they lost the Battle of the mind the truth and the people embrace Islam because of its egalitarian and peaceful message because of these based on reasoning and searching the truth and therefore after that the whole

[23:31] thing changing the Arabiya and no I I feel ok so from the prophet's lifetime moving on this tradition you feel quite early on people they were working to distort the overall narrative and the overall message for distort it for who distort it for the public distort it for them this is but doesn't doesn't this all sound a bit conspiratorial a bit hyper conspiracy theory listen it is easier for you guys for Sunnis and Shiites to believe that Christians

[24:10] distorted the teaching of Jesus or Jewish people did that's true it is easy for us to see the problem with Christianity the idol worship the silly stuff but we don't see ours because we are born into that nonsense when you are willing to when the nonsense is peddle to you since childhood as a holy nonsense as holy truth and that we become blind to our problems and it is absolutely when you Luca had these there are all motives behind why those Hadees is fabricated first of all let me tell you as information Bihari

[24:48] is the holy s--t Hadees book in the most so-called authentic hadees book in jr religion and Bukhari was compiled was supposed to written in 230 years after Prophet Muhammad in fact we don't have any archaeological are killed archaeological evidence for that either but assume that it is true there's 230 years now these are the books if you look at Hadees for example Hadees but maybe it is all political propaganda is a hundred percent agree with you on this thing but not only that let me tell you something let's say

[25:26] Hadees is about dog that dog is killed a black dogs if you check it you will find out the person fabricate the Hadees with bitten or was kind of scared by black dogs this is there the way they justify whatever they have culture or their personal whims is tragedies even wanted the guy promote his date from his account called I he made up hadith way to promote political ideas your culture even your religion a lot of people Christians they supposedly in on the guise of being Muslim they fabricated

[26:45] lie just in order to justify their own massacres according to Quran the what is called in chapt captains in war you cannot kill them you cannot touch them you cannot try them even because it is war different circumstances you keep them either the end of the world you release them for free or do you during the war time you exchange them you cannot kill them but according to been equals a phrase a massacre Mohammed captured the basically the Jewish people they came down from their castle about

[27:23] 600 of them or 800 of them basically Massacre all of them and this is what to justify the Kings Familia Dora Bassett and later Ottoman Kings that okay Mohammed did this he killed people we can't kill the same way or Mohammed killed the woman who is criticizing him because supposedly she insulted Mohammed yes according to the Quran they can insult there is no religion a punishment for insult someone insult your religion your God according to the chapter 4 verse 140 you just say peace you live if they are making mockery and then you go
