What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenThe guest says even genuine sayings of the Prophet are not religion and that the hadith paint contradictory portraits of him. Mufti Abu Layth agrees that the Mi'raj negotiation, the child-marriage report and the Uraynah torture reports are false narrations.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth asks a final question on hadith: whether the guest holds that zero percent is genuine, or that some reports may be true but cannot be distinguished, and he raises historical reports, such as the Prophet speaking of the Persian ruler whose daughter succeeded him, which later history confirms. The guest says history is full of lies with some truth that a historian may sift, but that even a genuine saying is not religion, since the Prophet believed the Quran alone was sufficient and his job was to deliver it, not to add or abrogate; the hadith, he says, make Muhammad a God beside God, and on the Day of Judgement the messenger will complain that his people deserted the Quran, not the Quran plus his hadith. He describes the hadith Muhammad as a Greek god with many faces: in the Mi'raj report he negotiates with God on Moses' advice from fifty prayers down to five, which makes him more merciful than God and God a merciless boss, in contradiction to the Quran's statement that God does not burden people beyond their capacity; while other reports have him torturing people, cutting off limbs, gouging eyes and marrying a child of six or nine, so that he is noble in one report and a psychopath or sexual maniac in another. Mufti says he agrees one hundred percent that these concepts are absurd, that he has himself dismissed the Mi'raj negotiation, the child-marriage report and the Uraynah torture reports as false narrations, and begins to explain that his difference lies in a living tradition captured in fiqh.

disorganized full of some hell and this and these simple things if you look at the Quran you can see two things one is an incredible mathematically designed full of scientific information full of layers of information the meaning of the words I have given many examples in nineteen questions for ATS about the language of the Quran but at the same time if you don't want to see it absolutely you will not see it you will see every bad things there you will not see the gods name that is Rahman al
Rahim repeated or the derivatives of Rama most in the Quran most than any other world but you will see few hell and stuff you will say well there is no mercy in this book if you want to see it you will ignore the rest you will see what you want but if you object look at the Quran is a very incredible wonderful book I mean but absolutely I mean nobody is no Muslim is going to deny the professor but on this hadith in a final question on this thing not to pester you on it but just because our viewers may
be wondering do you you see if you are saying that we dismiss disc all hadith based on the fact that this is what I want to clarify is it that we are saying 0% these are not true and even though there may be some nice things like you said like smile to your neighbor but this is general human common sense that people say things like these Chinese proverbs like you said say or is it that you are saying no there may be some real teachings from the Prophet here but because we can't
distinguish today and I'm a 4 Way suspicious no first of all because there would you not say there are historical hadith which in light of history we now know that must have occurred like so for example stories to do with let's say certain contemporary rulers and the Prophet speaking around this time now we know through historical kind of evidence these rulers did exist and certain let's say the the curser of of Persia Sassanid Empire he died at a certain time the Prophet said something his daughter had actually become the next ruler oh you've got her a curious for example the
prophets letter to her at leas now there are and there are other examples as well many examples where we can say well actually you know what these do seem to denote what was you know here's some historical accuracy would you not agree listen the history you may look at it as a historical piece full of lies and distortions and there would be some truth in it of course if you are a historian critically you can review it you can check you can come up with some ideas but it is Zen it is ultimately it is not hundred-percent to prove that it
is exactly from Prophet Muhammad even if it is let's say even if we know that Prophet Muhammad they talked that word is not my religion and he would never claim such because he believed the Quran he believed that the Quran is alone is sufficient to guide the Quran is mabini's mufasa the source of system is God alone not him his job was only to deliver the Quran not to add not to change not to destroy subtract not to do its Nessa but this hadees basically they give Prophet Mohammed the power to be God besides God he never claimed such it it
is it is basically Mohammed in the day of judgment will reject these people who think they respect they love Mohammed how he will reject Mahara rasulu now rugby in that home attacker to Heather for anime Juara oh my lord the resume will say my lord my people have deserted the Quran it doesn't say Quran plus my Hadees my son and stuff because these people deserted the Quran they made Mohammed again is the Quran dear Mohammed is not Prophet Muhammad there Muhammad is in like a Greek god mix it is with many faces with multiple
personalities one of them is more merciful than God in the so called Miraj Hadees near Raj he goes up in the sixth sky is called six heaven and debate with God negotiate about the number of players but gets advice from the city no no seventh heaven correct something in the six heaven is Moses waiting and Moses is the advisor to Prophet Muhammad and look at his whatever made this up Muhammad gets down from the sixth and seventh heaven down Moses asked him what happened he says well I got fifty
prayers a day but it's not fifty units it is fifty prayers a day means every 28 minutes in 24 hours day and night every 28 minute is one another prayer they they have watched like us how they could even calculate 28 minutes maybe in what Prophet Muhammad says according to that Hadees God burdened us beyond our capacity but the process now you can live for why Nelson illa wus are in this part of these Hadees this verse is rejected says no God really gave us something that we cannot make it and Muhammad cannot think can
calculate somehow according to these Hadees his brain is not smart enough below IQ level is low Hacha and then Moses says o Muhammad your people cannot do all our you're right Moses oh thank you for telling me I'm going up Moses telling go up negotiating with God and goes up and then comes down Moses says what happened now it is full day they have 40 prayers that they Mohammed says Moses says that's one is even too much too many go up and negotiate Mohammed follow Moses advice instruction like a what is union leader
but getting advice from Moses up and down negotiate with God who is a boss merciless boss doesn't you want to give us a lot of coal yeah and therefore it comes down with five Moses says even this one is too much Mohammed says I am embarrassed now negotiating with God in one way Mohammed is more merciful than God but at the other hand Mohammed is chopping health arms and legs of people gouging their eyes with hot nail in a woman are two horses and split into two
pieces or send Assyria and kill a wonderful head of the horse one Muhammad in one hand is merciful and the other is a psychopath in one day he is a noble very righteous person on the other end is this sexual maniac marries a girl with six or say nine years old while he's 54 years old he's a dear understand I you know all of all of these things you're saying I 100% agree with all these kind of concepts that you're saying about look at like the hadith of Miraj how it distorts the how it's just
absurd and how the concept that the Prophet married a child or how he's tortured the people of arena and all of these I've actually personally spoken about in the past dismissed them as false narrations and I agree with you on all of these matters that I suppose the distinction is I but I say that there is something called a living tradition which was passed down and it was was captured within things like firkin and and somehow these have captured it as well but every time we read a hadith I I followed the understanding that it should be measured against the three that lamu by Anil
