15 May 2021video LatestIs there archaeological evidence for David's kingdom, and how did Jerusalem become holy for Muslims? Archaeology has not found the kingdoms of David and Solomon, and Mufti Abu Layth says Muslims should apply the same scrutiny to their own narrations, where early scholars differed over al-Aqsa and the first qibla and the Umayyads under Abd al-Malik promoted Jerusalem with fabricated hadith to rival Ibn al-Zubayr.

26 Jun 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Are any hadith genuine, and what about reports confirmed by history? The guest says even genuine sayings of the Prophet are not religion and that the hadith paint contradictory portraits of him.

30 Aug 2018BukhariGate: Issues with Sahih al-Bukhari Problematic reports in Bukhari: the Isra, Moses and the rock, magic on the Prophet Several reports in Bukhari are factually wrong or disrespectful: the Isra dated before prophethood, a woman spurning the Prophet, Moses chasing a rock, a verse corrected on the spot, and magic making the Prophet forget intercourse. He also holds the night journey to have been a vision.
