ISLAMIC LIES, ABSURDITIES &
INACCURACIES - Volume #1
(Based on the Haddiths)
By: Abdul Haleem
ARE BELLS THE INSTRUMENTS OF SATAN?
According to Muslim, "YES"!
Muslim, Book 24, Number 5279:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as
saying: THE BELL IS THE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT OF THE SATAN.
Book 34, Number 4218:
Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab:
Ibn az-Zubayr told that a woman client of theirs took
az-Zubayr's daughter to Umar ibn al-Khattab wearing bells on her
legs. Umar cut them off and said that he had heard the Apostle of
Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say: THERE IS A DEVIL ALONG WITH
EACH BELL.
If this hadith nonsense if infallibly true, why are bells used in
Arabic, Iranian and Pakistani music?
ARE HAIR REMOVAL, HAIR TRANSPLANTS, ORTHODONTICS AND PLASTIC
SURGERY PROHIBITED?
That’s what Bukhari says!
Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 72, Number 815:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
ALLAH HAS CURSED those women who practise tattooing
and those who get themselves tattooed, and THOSE WHO REMOVE
THEIR FACE HAIRS, AND THOSE WHO CREATE A SPACE BETWEEN THEIR TEETH
ARTIFICIALLY TO LOOK BEAUTIFUL, AND SUCH WOMEN AS CHANGE THE
FEATURES CREATED BY ALLAH. Why then should I not curse
those whom the Prophet has cursed? And that is in Allah's Book.
i.e. His Saying: 'And what the Apostle gives you take it and what
he forbids you abstain (from it).' ([Quran] 59.7)
No plastic surgery! No orthodontics! No hair removal! Isn’t this
ridiculous!
The Quran quote does not support this prohibition: "O
Prophet! Why bannest thou that which Allah hath made lawful for
thee, seeking to please thy wives? And Allah is Forgiving,
Merciful." Quran, 66:1, emphasis added. There is no
revelation that Muhammad (pbuh) received from Jibreel which would
support these prohibitions!
IS FORGIVENESS OF OUR SINS PREMISED ON PHYSICAL SUFFERING OR
MISFORTUNE?
Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 70, Number 544:
Narrated 'Aisha:
(The wife of the Prophet) Allah's Apostle said, "NO
CALAMITY BEFALLS A MUSLIM BUT THAT ALLAH EXPIATES SOME OF HIS SINS
BECAUSE OF IT, even though it were the prick he receives
from a thorn."
Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 70, Number 545:
Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri and Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "NO FATIGUE, NOR DISEASE, NOR SORROW,
NOR SADNESS, NOR HURT, NOR DISTRESS BEFALLS A MUSLIM, EVEN IF IT
WERE THE PRICK HE RECEIVES FROM A THORN, BUT THAT ALLAH EXPIATES
SOME OF HIS SINS FOR THAT."
Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 70, Number 564:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud:
I visited Allah's Apostle while he was suffering from a high
fever. I touched him with my hand and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! You have a high fever." Allah's Apostle said,
"Yes, I have as much fever as two men of you have." I
said, "Is it because you will get a double reward?"
Allah's Apostle said, "Yes, NO MUSLIM IS AFFLICTED WITH
HARM BECAUSE OF SICKNESS OR SOME OTHER INCONVENIENCE, BUT THAT
ALLAH WILL REMOVE HIS SINS FOR HIM AS A TREE SHEDS ITS
LEAVES."
Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 70, Number 565:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
I visited the Prophet during his illness and touched him while he
was having a fever. I said to him, "You have a high fever; is
it because you will get a double reward?" He said, "Yes.
NO MUSLIM IS AFFLICTED WITH ANY HARM, BUT THAT HIS SINS WILL
BE ANNULLED AS THE LEAVE OF A TREE FALL DOWN."
Where does the Quran say that physical pain or misfortune are
efficacious in earning mercy from Allah? It doesn’t!
This sounds like Christian, Hindu and pagan rites of
self-flagellation or "mortification of flesh" to earn
Allah’s forgiveness. Even more intelligent Christians and Hindus
reject
such doctrines for the fundamental reason that they devalue and
demean the power of the
Almighty to free forgive sins, by tying exercise of such power to
suffering of worldly
misfortune by the sinner!
IS KILLING ATHEISTS OK?
"Yes," on the authority of Bukhari!
Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 84, Number 57:
Narrated 'Ikrima:
SOME ZANADIQA (ATHEISTS) WERE BROUGHT TO 'ALI AND HE BURNT
THEM. The news of this event, reached Ibn 'Abbas who said,
"If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as
Allah's Apostle forbade it, saying, 'Do not punish anybody with
Allah's punishment (fire).' I would have killed them according to
the statement of Allah's Apostle, 'WHOEVER CHANGED HIS
ISLAMIC RELIGION, THEN KILL HIM.'"
Whatever happened to "no compulsion in religion" (Quran
2:256), do not "force the people to become believers" (Quran
10:99), and "then who ever wills let him believe, and whoever
wills let him disbelieve" (Quran 18:29)?
COULD THE PROPHET (PBUH) MULTIPLY FOOD?
According to Bukhari, Muhammad (pbuh) DID on repeated occasions!
Volume 7, Book 65, Number 361:
Narrated Anas:
My mother, Um Sulaim, took a Mudd of barley grain, ground it and
made porridge from it, and pressed (over it), a butter skin she
had with her. Then she sent me to the Prophet, and I reached him
while he was sitting with his companions. I invited him, whereupon
he said, "And those who are with me?' I returned and said,
"He says, 'And those who are with me?" Abu Talha went
out to him and said, "O Allah's Apostle! It is just a meal
prepared by Um Sulaim." The Prophet entered and the food was
brought to him. He said, "Let ten persons enter upon
me." Those ten entered and ate their fill. Again he said,
'Let ten (more) enter upon me." Those ten entered and ate
their fill. Then he said, "Let ten (more) enter upon
me." He called forty persons in all Then Allah's Apostle ate
and got up. I started looking (at the food) to see if it decreased
or not.
Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 65, Number 293:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Abu Talha said to Um Sulaim, "I have heard the voice of
Allah's Apostle which was feeble, and I think that he is hungry.
Have you got something (to eat)?" She took out some loaves of
barley bread, then took her face-covering sheet and wrapped the
bread in part of it, and pushed it under my garment and turned the
rest of it around my body and sent me to Allah's Apostle . I went
with that, and found Allah's Apostle in the mosque with some
people. I stood up near them, and Allah's Apostle asked me,
"Have you been sent by Abu Talha?" I said,
"Yes." He asked, "With some food (for us)?" I
said, "Yes." Then Allah's Apostle said to all those who
were with him, "Get up!" He set out (and all the people
accompanied him) and I proceeded ahead of them till I came to Abu
Talha. Abu Talha then said, "O Um Sulaim! Allah's Apostle has
arrived along with the people, and we do not have food enough to
feed them all." She said, "Allah and His Apostle know
better." So Abu Talha went out till he met Allah's Apostle.
Then Abu Talha and Allah's Apostle came and entered the house.
Allah's Apostle said, "Um Sulaim ! Bring whatever you
have." She brought that very bread. The Prophet ordered that
it be crushed into small pieces, and Um Sulaim pressed a skin of
butter on it. Then Allah's Apostle said whatever Allah wished him
to say (to bless the food) and then added, "Admit ten
(men)." So they were admitted, ate their fill and went out.
The Prophet then said, "Admit ten (more)." They were
admitted, ate their full, and went out. He then again said,
"Admit ten more!" They were admitted, ate their fill,
and went out. He admitted ten more, and so all those people ate
their fill, and they were eighty men.
Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 65, Number 294:
Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr:
We were one hundred and thirty men sitting with the Prophet. The
Prophet said, "Have anyone of you any food with him?" It
happened that one man had one Sa of wheat flour (or so) which was
turned into dough then. After a while a tall lanky pagan came,
driving some sheep. The Prophet asked, 'Will you sell us (a
sheep), or give (it to) us as a gift?" The pagan said,
"No, but I will sell it " So the Prophet bought from him
a sheep which was slaughtered, and then the Prophet ordered that
the liver, the kidneys, lungs and heart, etc., of that sheep be
roasted. By Allah, none of those one hundred and thirty men but
had his share of those things. The Prophet gave to those who were
present, and also kept a share for those who were absent He then
served that cooked sheep in two big trays and we all ate together
our fill; yet there remained a part of it in those two trays which
I carried on the camel.
Muslim, Book 30, Number 5660:
Jabir reported that Umm Malik used to send clarified butter in a
small skin to the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him). Her
sons would come to her and ask for seasoning when they had nothing
with them (in the form of condiments) and she would go to that
(skin) in which she offered (clarified butter) to Allah's Apostle
(may peace be upon him), and she would find in that clarified
butter and it kept providing her with seasoning for her household
until she had (completely) squeezed it. She came to Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him) and (informed him about it).
Thereupon, he (the Holy Prophet) said: Did you squeeze it? She
said: Yes. Thereupon he said: If you had left it in that very
state, it would have kept on providing you (the clarified butter)
on end.
Muslim, Book 30, Number 5661:
Jabir reported that a person came to Allah's Apostle (may peace be
upon him) and asked for food. And he gave him half a wasq of
barley, and the person and his wife and their guests kept on
making use of it (as a food) until he weighed it (in order to find
out the actual quantity, and it was no more). He came to Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him) (and informed him about it). He
said: Had you not weighed it, you would be eating out of it and it
would have remained intact for you.
These "food multiplication" finds no Quranic basis! The
Prophet (pbuh) never performed
physical miracles. Rather, the one great miracle he performed was
revelation of the Quran!
Quran 29:51: "Is it not enough of a miracle that we sent
down to you this book, being recited to them? This is indeed a
mercy and a reminder for people who believe."
Other hadith literature AGREES the Prophet (pbuh) was bearer of
NO MIRACLE except revelation of the Quran!
Bukhari Volume 9, Book 92, Number 379:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "There was no prophet among the prophets
but was given miracles because of which people had security or had
belief, but what I was given was the Divine Inspiration which
Allah revealed to me. So I hope that my followers will be more
than those of any other prophet on the Day of Resurrection."
DON 'T USE YOUR RIGHT HAND IN THE BATHROOM?
Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 69, Number 534:
Narrated Abu Qatada:
Allah's Apostle said, "When you drink (water), do not breath
in the vessel; and WHEN YOU URINATE, DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PENIS
WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND. AND WHEN YOU CLEANSE YOURSELF AFTER
DEFECATION, DO NOT USE YOUR RIGHT HAND."
Muslim, Book 002, Number 0511:
Abu Qatada reported it from his father: The Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) said: NONE OF YOU SHOULD HOLD PENIS
WITH HIS RIGHT HAND WHILE URINATING, OR WIPE HIMSELF WITH HIS
RIGHT HAND IN PRIVY and should not breathe into the vessel
(from which he drinks).
Muslim, Book 002, Number 0512:
Abu Qatada reported it from his father that the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) said: WHEN ANYONE AMONGST YOU
ENTERS THE PRIVY HE SHOULD NOT TOUCH HIS PENIS WITH HIS RIGHT
HAND.
Muslim, Book 002, Number 0513:
Aba Qatada reported: THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH (WAY PEACE BE
UPON HIM) FORBADE (US) to breathe into the vessel, TO
TOUCH THE PENIS WITH THE RIGHT HAND AND TO WIPE AFTER RELIEVING
WITH RIGHT HAND.
Why? What principle of Islam is implicated by use of the right
hand for these purposes?
What possessed Bukhari and Muslim to even record this nonsense and
present it as holy writ?
COULD THE PROPHET (PBUH) MAKE WATER?
Muslim recounts a number of alleged "water
multiplication" miracles!
Muslim, Book 30, Number 5656:
Anas reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) called
for water and he was given a vessel and the people began to
perform ablution in that and I counted (the persons) and they were
between fifty and eighty and I saw water which was spouting from
his fingers.
Muslim, Book 30, Number 5657:
Anas b. Malik reported : I saw Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) during the time of the afternoon prayer and the people
asking for water for performing ablution which they did not find.
(A small quantity) of water was brought to Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) and he placed his hand in that vessel and
commanded people to perform ablution. I saw water spouting from
his fingers and the people performing ablution until the last
amongst them performed it.
Muslim, Book 30, Number 5658:
Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon
him) and his Companions were at a place known as az-Zaura' (az-Zaurd'
is a place in the bazar of Medina near the mosque) that he called
for a vessel containing water. He put his hand in that. And there
began to spout (water) between his fingers and all the Companions
performed ablution. Qatada, one of the narrators in the chain of
narrators, said: Abu Hamza (the kunya of Hadrat Anas b. Malik),
how many people were they? He said: They were about three hundred.
Muslim, Book 30, Number 5659:
Anas reported Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) was at
az-Zaura' and a vessel containing water was brought to him in
which his finger could not be completely dipped or completely
covered; the rest of the hadith is the same.
Muslim, Book 30, Number 5662:
Mu'adh b. Jabal reported that he went along with Allah's Apostle
(may peace be upon him) in the expedition of Tabuk and he (the
Holy Prophet) combined the prayers. He offered the noon and
afternoon prayers together and the sunset and night prayers
together and on the other day he deferred the prayers; he then
came out and offered the noon and afternoon prayers together. He
then went in and (later on) came out and then after that offered
the sunset and night prayers together and then said: God willing,
you would reach by tomorrow the fountain of Tabuk and you should
not come to that until it is dawn, and he who amongst you happens
to go there should not touch its water until I come. We came to
that and two persons (amongst) us reached that fountain ahead of
us. It was a thin flow of water like the shoelace. Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) asked them whether they had
touched the water. They said: Yes. Allah's Apostle (may peace be
upon him) scolded them, and he said to them what he had to say by
the will of God. The people then took water of the fountain in
their palms until it became somewhat significant and Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) washed his hands and his face
too in it, and then, took it again in that (fountain) and there
gushed forth abundant water from that fountain, until all the
people drank to their fill. He then said: Mu'adh, it is hoped that
if you live long you would see its water irrigating well the
gardens.
These, like "food multiplication" ahadith, are
collections of pagan superstitions. The Prophet (pbuh) never
performed physical miracles. Rather, the one great miracle he
performed was revelation of the Quran! Quran 29:51.
Other hadith literature AGREES the Prophet (pbuh) was bearer of
NO MIRACLE except revelation of the Quran! See Bukhari
Volume 9, Book 92, Number 379.
MUHAMMAD THE "RAINMAKER"?
Another false myth of physical miracles by the Prophet (pbuh):
Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 73, Number 115:
Narrated Anas:
A man came to the Prophet on a Friday while he (the Prophet) was
delivering a sermon at Medina, and said, "There is lack of
rain, so please invoke your Lord to bless us with the rain."
The Prophet looked at the sky when no cloud could be detected.
Then he invoked Allah for rain. Clouds started gathering together
and it rained till the Medina valleys started flowing with water.
It continued raining till the next Friday. Then that man (or some
other man) stood up while the Prophet was delivering the Friday
sermon, and said, "We are drowned; Please invoke your Lord to
withhold it (rain) from us" The Prophet smiled and said twice
or thrice, "O Allah! Please let it rain round about us and
not upon us." The clouds started dispersing over Medina to
the right and to the left, and it rained round about Medina and
not upon Medina. Allah showed them (the people) the miracle of His
Prophet and His response to his invocation.
More pagan superstition disguised as a hadith. Muhammad’s
ONLY miracle was the Quran . Quran 29:51. Other hadith literature
agrees! See Bukhari Volume 9, Book 92, Number 379:
HAIR DYEING: DID THE PROPHET DO IT OR PROHIBIT IT?
Abu Dawud says the Prophet disliked "dyeing grey hair"
Abu Dawud , Book 34, Number 4210:
Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud:
THE PROPHET OF ALLAH (PEACE_BE_UPON_HIM) DISLIKED TEN THINGS:
Yellow colouring, meaning khaluq, DYEING GREY HAIR,
trailing the lower garment, wearing a gold signet-ring, a woman
decking herself before people who are not within the prohibited
degrees, throwing dice, using spells except with the Mu'awwidhatan,
wearing amulets, withdrawing the penis before the semen is
discharged, in the case of a woman who is wife or not a wife, and
having intercourse with a woman who is suckling a child; but he
did not declare them to be prohibited.
According to Muslim and Bukhari, the Prophet (pbuh) gave
instructions and hair dyeing and even dyed his own hair!
Muslim, Book 33, Number 4193:
Narrated AbuDharr:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: THE BEST THINGS WITH
WHICH GREY HAIR ARE CHANGED ARE HENNA AND KATAM.
Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 72, Number 785:
Narrated Uthman bin 'Abdullah bin Mauhab:
I went to Um Salama and she brought out for us some of the DYED
HAIR OF THE PROPHET . ibn Mauhab also said that Um Salama
had shown him the red hair of the Prophet.
Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 72, Number 786:
Narrated Abu Huraira :
The Prophet said, "JEWS AND CHRISTIANS DO NOT DYE THEIR
HAIR SO YOU SHOULD DO THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEY DO."
Did he or didn’t he? Only Allah knows!
WOMEN CANNOT SERVE AS HEAD OF STATE?
Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 88, Number 219:
Narrated Abu Bakra:
During the battle of Al-Jamal, Allah benefited me with a Word
(I heard from the Prophet). When the Prophet heard the news that
the people of the Persia had made the daughter of Khosrau their
Queen (ruler), he said, "NEVER WILL SUCCEED SUCH A
NATION AS MAKES A WOMAN THEIR RULER."
Where does the Quran corroborate this nonsense? Wasn’t Bilqis,
the Queen of Sheba, a woman?
Didn’t she correctly lead her country to accept Islam? Quran
27:23-44
DID THE PROPHET HAVE THE VIRILITY OF 30 MEN?
Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 5, Number 268:
Narrated Qatada:
Anas bin Malik said, "THE PROPHET USED TO VISIT ALL
HIS WIVES IN A ROUND, DURING THE DAY AND NIGHT AND THEY WERE
ELEVEN IN NUMBER." I asked Anas, "Had the
Prophet the strength for it?" Anas replied, "WE
USED TO SAY THAT THE PROPHET WAS GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THIRTY
(MEN)." And Sa'id said on the authority of Qatada
that Anas had told him about nine wives only (not eleven).
Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 5, Number 282:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
THE PROPHET USED TO VISIT ALL HIS WIVES IN ONE NIGHT AND HE HAD
NINE WIVES AT THAT TIME.
So were are supposed to believe Muhammad (pbuh) was like Zeus
in sex department? Sounds like the hadith collectors read too much
Greek and Roman mythology!
CAN A GROWN MAN BE MADE MAHRAM BY SUCKLING A GROWN WOMAN?
Malik quotes the Prophet (pbuh) as saying "Yes"!
Malik Book 30, Number 30.2.12:
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that he was
asked about the suckling of an older person. He said, ''Urwa ibn
az-Zubayr informed me that Abu Hudhayfa ibn Utba ibn Rabia, one of
the companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, who was present at Badr, adopted Salim (who is
called Salim, the mawla of Abu Hudhayfa) as the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, adopted Zayd ibn
Haritha. He thought of him as his son, and Abu Hudhayfa married
him to his brother's sister, Fatima bint al-Walid ibn Utba ibn
Rabia, who was at that time among the first emigrants. She was one
of the best unmarried women of the Quraysh. When Allah the Exalted
sent down in His Book what He sent down about Zayd ibn Haritha,
'Call them after their true fathers. That is more equitable in the
sight of Allah. If you do not know who their fathers were then
they are your brothers in the deen and your mawali,' (Sura 33 ayat
5) people in this position were traced back to their fathers. When
the father was not known, they were traced to their mawla.
"Sahla bint Suhayl who was the wife of Abu Hudhayfa, and
one of the tribe of Amr ibn Luayy, came to the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger of
Allah! We think of Salim as a son and he comes in to see me while
I am uncovered. We only have one room, so what do you think about
the situation?' THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, SAID, 'GIVE HIM FIVE DRINKS
OF YOUR MILK AND HE WILL BE MAHRAM BY IT.' She then saw
him as a foster son. A'ISHA UMM AL-MUMININ TOOK THAT AS A
PRECEDENT FOR WHATEVER MEN SHE WANTED TO BE ABLE TO COME TO SEE
HER. SHE ORDERED HER SISTER, UMM KULTHUM BINT ABI BAKR AS-SIDDIQ
AND THE DAUGHTERS OF HER BROTHER TO GIVE MILK TO WHICHEVER MEN SHE
WANTED TO BE ABLE TO COME IN TO SEE HER. The rest of the
wives of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
refused to let anyone come in to them by such nursing. They said,
'No! By Allah! We think that what the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered Sahla bint Suhayl to
do was only an indulgence concerning the nursing of Salim alone.
No! By Allah! No one will come in upon us by such nursing!'
"This is what the wives of the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, thought about the suckling of an older
person."
Other ahadith say JUST THE OPPOSITE:
Malik, Book 30, Number 30.2.13:
Yahya related to me from Malik that Abdullah ibn Dinar said,
"A man came to Abdullah ibn Umar when I waswith him at the
place where judgments were given and asked him about the suckling
of an older person. Abdullah ibn Umar replied, 'A man came to Umar
ibn al-Khattab and said, 'I have a slave-girl and I used to have
intercourse with her. My wife went to her and suckled her. When I
went to the girl, my wife told me to watch out, because she had
suckled her!' Umar told him to beat his wife and to go to his
slave-girl because KINSHIP BY SUCKLING WAS ONLY BY THE
SUCKLING OF THE YOUNG.' "
Malik, Book 30, Number 30.2.14:
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that a man
said to Abu Musa al-Ashari, "I drank some milk from my wife's
breasts and it went into my stomach." Abu Musa said, "I
can only but think that she is haram for you." Abdullah ibn
Masud said, "Look at what opinion you are giving the
man." Abu Musa said, "Then what do you say?"
Abdullah ibn Masud said, "THERE IS ONLY KINSHIP BY
SUCKLING IN THE FIRST TWO YEARS."
Abu Musa said, "Do not ask me about anything while this
learned man is among you."
Well, which is it?
DID THE PROPHET (PBUH) COMMAND BURNING HOUSES OF MUSLIMS WHO
MISS PRAYER?
Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 11, Number 626:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "No prayer is harder for the hypocrites
than the Fajr and the 'Isha' prayers and if they knew the reward
for these prayers at their respective times, they would certainly
present themselves (in the mosques) even if they had to
crawl." THE PROPHET ADDED, "CERTAINLY I DECIDED TO
order the Mu'adh-dhin (call-maker) to pronounce Iqama and ORDER
A MAN TO LEAD THE PRAYER AND THEN TAKE A FIRE FLAME TO BURN ALL
THOSE WHO HAD NOT LEFT THEIR HOUSES SO FAR FOR THE PRAYER ALONG
WITH THEIR HOUSES."
Whatever happened to "no compulsion in religion" (Quran
2:256), do not "force the people to become believers" (Quran
10:99), and "then who ever wills let him believe, and whoever
wills let him disbelieve" (Quran 18:29)?
BLACK DOGS ARE THE DEVIL AND SHOULD BE KILLED?
Muslim, Book 010, Number 3813:
Abu Zubair heard Jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with him)
saying: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) ordered us to
kill dogs, and we carried out this order so much so that we also
kill the dog coming with a woman from the desert. Then Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him) forbade their killing. He (the
Holy Prophet further) said: IT IS YOUR DUTY TO KILL THE
JET-BLACK (DOG) HAVING TWO SPOTS (ON THE EYES), FOR IT IS A DEVIL.
Abu Dawud, Book 16, Number 2839:
Narrated Abdullah ibn Mughaffal:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Were dogs not a species of
creature I should command that they all be killed; but KILL
EVERY PURE BLACK ONE.
Abu Dawud, Book 16, Number 2840:
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:
The Prophet of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) ordered to kill dogs, and
we were even killing a dog which a woman brought with her from the
desert. Afterwards he forbade to kill them, saying: CONFINE
YOURSELVES TO THE TYPE WHICH IS BLACK.
So the Devil appears as a black dog?
CAN CANCER PATIENTS WEAR WIGS WHEN RADIATION OR CHEMOTHERAPY
CAUSES HAIR LOSS?
Not according to Muslim and Bukhari, who claim the Prophet (pbuh)
FORBADE wearing of artificial hair even where hair loss was
due to a medical condition!
Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 72, Number 817:
Narrated 'Aisha :
An Ansari girl was married and SHE BECAME SICK AND ALL
HER HAIR FELL OUT INTENDING TO PROVIDE HER WITH FALSE HAIR.
They asked the Prophet who said, "ALLAH HAS CURSED THE
LADY WHO ARTIFICIALLY LENGTHENS (HER OR SOMEONE ELSE'S) HAIR and
also the one who gets her hair lengthened."
Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 72, Number 818:
Narrated Asma:
(the daughter of Abu' Bakr) A woman came to Allah's Apostle and
said, "I married my daughter to someone, BUT SHE BECAME
SICK AND ALL HER HAIR FELL OUT, AND (BECAUSE OF THAT) HER HUSBAND
DOES NOT LIKE HER. MAY I LET HER USE FALSE HAIR?" On
that THE PROPHET CURSED SUCH A LADY AS ARTIFICIALLY
LENGTHENING (HER OR SOMEONE ELSE'S) HAIR or got her hair
lengthened artificially.
Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 72, Number 824:
Narrated Asma':
A woman asked the Prophet saying, "O Allah's Apostle! MY
DAUGHTER GOT MEASLES AND HER HAIR FELL OUT. NOW THAT I GOT HER
MARRIED, MAY I LET HER USE FALSE HAIR?" He said (to
her), "ALLAH HAS CURSED THE LADY WHO LENGTHENS HAIR
ARTIFICIALLY AND THE ONE WHO GETS HER HAIR
LENGTHENED ARTIFICIALLY."
Muslim, Book 24, Number 5295:
Asma', daughter of Abu Bakr, reported that a woman came to
Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and said: I HAVE A
DAUGHTER WHO HAS BEEN NEWLY WEDDED. SHE HAD AN ATTACK OF SMALLPOX
AND THUS HER HAIR HAD FALLEN; SHOULD I ADD FALSE HAIR TO HER HEAD?
Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: ALLAH
HAS CURSED THE WOMAN WHO ADDS SOME FALSE HAIR AND THE WOMAN WHO
ASKS FOR IT.
Muslim, Book 24, Number 5297:
Asma', daughter of Abu Bakr, reported that a woman came to
Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and said: I HAVE
MARRIED MY DAUGHTER (WHOSE) HAIR OF HEAD HAVE FALLEN. Her
spouse likes them (the long hair). ALLAH'S MESSENGER(MAY ADD
FALSE HAIR TO HER HEAD ? HE FORBADE HER TO DO THIS.
Muslim, Book 24, Number 5298:
A'isha reported that A GIRL OF THE ANSAR WHO HAD FALLEN
ILL AND HAD LOST THE HAIR WAS MARRIED. THEY (HER RELATIVES)
THOUGHT OF ADDING FALSE HAIR (TO HER HEAD). So they asked
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) about it, whereupon HE
CURSED THE WOMAN WHO ADDS FALSE HAIR AND THE WOMAN WHO ASKS FOR
IT.
Muslim, Book 24, Number 5299:
A'isha reported that A WOMAN FROM THE ANSAR MARRIED HER
DAUGHTER WHO HAD LOST HER HAIR BECAUSE OF ILLNESS. She
came to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and said: HER
HUSBAND WANTS THAT FALSE HAIR SHOULD BE ADDED TO HER HEAD.
Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: THE
WOMAN WHO ADDS FALSE HAIR HAS BEEN CURSED. This hadith has
been narrated on the authority of Nafi' with the same chain of
transmitters but with a slight variation of wording.
Is this nonsense really the Word of Allah? How many Muslim
oncologists would say so?
DOES IT MATTER TO ALLAH WHICH SHOE YOU PUT OR TAKE OFF FIRST?
"Yes," according to Muslim!
Muslim, Book 24, Number 5231:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
as saying: WHEN ONE OF YOU PUTS ON SANDALS, HE SHOULD FIRST
PUT IN THE RIGHT FOOT, AND WHEN HE TAKES OFF HE SHOULD TAKE OFF
THE LEFT ONE FIRST, OR HE SHOULD PUT THEM ON TOGETHER OR TAKE THEM
OFF TOGETHER.
As if Allah doesn’t have better things to do than keep track
of which shoe we put on or take off first!
CAN YOU CROSS YOUR LEGS WHILE LYING DOWN?
The supposedly "inerrant" ahadith are in conflict!
Some say, "NO":
Muslim, Book 24, Number 5236:
Jabir reported that Allab's Messenger (may peace be upon him) FORBADE
the wrapping of oneself completely leaving no room for the arm and
supporting oneself when sitting with a single garment wrapped
round one's knees and A PERSON RAISING ONE OF HIS FEET AND
PLACING IT ON THE OTHER WHILE LYING ON HIS BACK.
Muslim, Book 24, Number 5237:
Jabir. b. Abdullah reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) as saying: Do not walk in one sandal and do not wrap the
lower garment round your knees and do not eat with your left hand
and do not wrap yourself completely leaving no room for the arms
(to draw out) and DO NOT PLACE ONE OF YOUR FEET UPON THE
OTHER WHILE LYING ON YOUR BACK.
Muslim, Book 24, Number 5238:
Jalbir b. Abdullah reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) as saying: NONE OF YOU SHOULD LIE ON HIS BACK AND
PLACE ONE OF HIS FEET UPON THE OTHER.
Others say "Yes":
Muslim, Book 24, Number 5239:
'Abbad b. Tamim reported from his uncle that he saw Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) LYING IN THE MOSQUE AND
PLACING HIS ONE FOOT UPON THE OTHER.
Muslim, Book 24, Number 5240:
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zuhri with
the same chain of transmitter.
Muslim, Book 24, Number 5296:
This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Shu'ba
with a slight variation of wording.
Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 72, Number 852:
Narrated 'Abbad bin Tamim's uncle:
I saw the Prophet LYING-DOWN IN THE MOSQUE AND PLACING
ONE LEG ON THE OTHER.
What is a believer in hadith "inerrancy" to do?
IS YAWNING FROM SATAN?
Bukhari claims the Prophet (pbuh) said "Yes"
Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 509:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "YAWNING IS FROM SATAN and
if anyone of you yawns, he should check his yawning as much as
possible, for if anyone of you (during the act of yawning) should
say: 'Ha', Satan will laugh at him."
Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 73, Number 242:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Allah likes sneezing and dislikes
yawning, so if someone sneezes and then praises Allah, then it is
obligatory on every Muslim who heard him, to say: May Allah be
merciful to you (Yar-hamuka-l-lah). BUT AS REGARDS YAWNING,
IT IS FROM SATAN, so one must try one's best to stop it,
if one says 'Ha' when yawning, Satan will laugh at him."
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 245:
Bukhari, Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Allah loves sneezing but dislikes
yawning; so if anyone of you sneezes and then praises Allah, every
Muslim who hears him (praising Allah) has to say Tashmit to him. BUT
AS REGARDS YAWNING, IT IS FROM SATAN, so if one of you
yawns, he should try his best to stop it, for when anyone of you
yawns, Satan laughs at him."
Does anyone really believe that the natural biological reaction
of yawning is the work of
Satan? Also, we all know that Muslims yawn. Isn’t the deviant
jinn Iblis supposed to have no power over Allah’s servants (Quran,
15:42)?
WHEN YOU RELIEVE YOURSELF, SHOULD YOU HAVE YOUR BACK TO THE
QIBLA OR NOT?
According to Bukhari, the Prophet (pbuh) gave CONTRADICTORY
instructions and examples!
Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 4, Number 146:
Narrated Abu Aiyub Al-Ansari:
Allah's Apostle said, "If anyone of you goes to an open
space for ANSWERING THE CALL OF NATURE HE SHOULD NEITHER
FACE NOR TURN HIS BACK TOWARDS THE QIBLA; he should either
face the east or the west."
Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 4, Number 150:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
I went up to the roof of Hafsa's house for some job and I saw
Allah's Apostle ANSWERING THE CALL OF NATURE FACING SHAM
(SYRIA, JORDAN, PALESTINE AND LEBANON REGARDED AS ONE COUNTRY)
WITH HIS BACK TOWARDS THE QIBLA.
Which is it?
IF YOU DON’T USE TOILET PAPER, MUST YOU USE AN ODD NUMBER OF
STONES?
That’s right, Bukhari claims the Prophet (pbuh)
directed use of only an odd number of stones!
Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 4, Number 162:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Whoever performs ablution should clean
his nose with water by putting the water in it and then blowing it
out, and WHOEVER CLEANS HIS PRIVATE PARTS WITH STONES SHOULD
DO IT WITH ODD NUMBER OF STONES."
Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 4, Number 163:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "If anyone of you performs ablution
he should put water in his nose and then blow it out and WHOEVER
CLEANS HIS PRIVATE PARTS WITH STONES SHOULD DO SO WITH ODD NUMBERS.
And whoever wakes up from his sleep should wash his hands before
putting them in the water for ablution, because nobody knows where
his hands were during sleep."
Now what difference does it really make to ALLAH if you use
two instead of one or three stones?
Is use of an odd number of stones a deadly sin?
Why? What ayah of the Quran validates this superstition?
DOES THE DEVIL CAUSE NEWBORNS TO CRY?
According to Bukhari, the Prophet gave that ridiculous
explanation for babies crying at birth!
Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 55, Number 641:
Narrated Said bin Al-Musaiyab:
Abu Huraira said, "I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'THERE
IS NONE BORN AMONG THE OFF-SPRING OF ADAM, BUT SATAN TOUCHES IT. A
CHILD THEREFORE, CRIES LOUDLY AT THE TIME OF BIRTH BECAUSE OF THE
TOUCH OF SATAN, except Mary and her child." Then Abu
Huraira recited: "And I seek refuge with You for her and for
her offspring from the outcast Satan" (3.36)
DID A STONE STEAL MOSES’ CLOTHES WHILE HE WAS BATHING?
Exactly such a fairy tale is authenticated to by Bukhari:
Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 5, Number 277:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, 'The (people of) Bani Israel used to take
bath naked (all together) looking at each other. The Prophet Moses
used to take a bath alone. They said, 'By Allah! Nothing prevents
Moses from taking a bath with us except that he has a scrotal
hernia.' SO ONCE MOSES WENT OUT TO TAKE A BATH AND PUT HIS
CLOTHES OVER A STONE AND THEN THAT STONE RAN AWAY WITH HIS
CLOTHES. Moses followed that stone saying, "MY
CLOTHES, O STONE! MY CLOTHES, O STONE! till the people of
Bani Israel saw him and said, 'By Allah, Moses has got no defect
in his body. MOSES TOOK HIS CLOTHES AND BEGAN TO BEAT THE
STONE." Abu Huraira added, "By Allah! THERE
ARE STILL SIX OR SEVEN MARKS PRESENT ON THE STONE FROM THAT
EXCESSIVE BEATING."
Muslim, Book 3, Number 0669:
Amongst the traditions narrated from Muhammad, the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) on the authority of Abu Huraira, the
one is that Banu Isra'il used to take a bath naked, and they
looked at the private parts of one another. Moses (peace be upon
him), however, took a bath alone (in privacy); and they said
(tauntingly): By Allah, nothing prohibits Moses to take a bath
along with us, but sacrotal hernia. HE (MOSES) ONCE WENT FOR
A BATH AND PLACED HIS CLOTHES ON A STONE AND THE STONE MOVED ON
WITH HIS CLOTHES. MOSES RAN AFTER IT SAYING: 0
STONE, MY CLOTHES, 0 STONE, MY CLOTHES, and Banu Isra'il
had the chance to see the private parts of Moses, and said : By
Allah, Moses does not suffer from any ailment. THE STONE
THEN STOPPED, TILL MOSES HAD BEEN SEEN BY THEM, and he
then took hold of his clothes and struck the stone. Abu Huraira
said: By Allah, there are the marks of six or seven strokes made
by Moses on the stone.
WOULD LOSS OR TWO (OR THREE) CHILDREN SHIELD A WOMAN FROM HELL?
According to Bukhari, "Yes"!
Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 3, Number 101:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Some women requested the Prophet to fix a day for them as the
men were taking all his time. On that he promised them one day for
religious lessons and commandments. Once during such a lesson the
Prophet said, "A WOMAN WHOSE THREE CHILDREN DIE WILL BE
SHIELDED BY THEM FROM THE HELL FIRE." ON THAT A WOMAN ASKED,
"IF ONLY TWO DIE?" HE REPLIED, "EVEN TWO (WILL
SHIELD HER FROM THE HELL-FIRE)."
Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 3, Number 102:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
as above (the sub narrators are different). Abu Huraira
qualified the three children referred to in the above mentioned
Hadith as not having reached the age of committing sins (i.e. age
of puberty) .
Doesn’t this sound like the Un-Islamic doctrine of vicarious
atonement? Isn’t this like the Christians saying that the death
of Jesus atoned for all of humanity’s sins? Quran 6:164 tells us
that "Every soul draws the meed of its acts on none but
itself: No bearer of
burdens can bear the burden of another." Do the childrens’
deaths atone for the sins of the mother? What about personal
responsibility?
WAS ADAM 60 CUBITS (30 METERS OR 90 FEET) TALL?
"Yes," according the Bukhari:
Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 55, Number 543:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "ALLAH CREATED ADAM, MAKING HIM 60
CUBITS TALL. When He created him, He said to him, "Go
and greet that group of angels, and listen to their reply, for it
will be your greeting (salutation) and the greeting (salutations
of your offspring." So, Adam said (to the angels), As-Salamu
Alaikum (i.e. Peace be upon you). The angels said, "As-salamu
Alaika wa Rahmatu-l-lahi" (i.e. Peace and Allah's Mercy be
upon you). Thus the angels added to Adam's salutation the
expression, 'Wa Rahmatu-l-lahi,' Any person who will enter
Paradise will resemble Adam (in appearance and figure). People
have been decreasing in stature since Adam's creation.
Bukari, Volume 8, Book 74, Number 246:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "ALLAH CREATED ADAM IN HIS
COMPLETE SHAPE AND FORM (DIRECTLY), SIXTY CUBITS (ABOUT 30 METERS)
IN HEIGHT. When He created him, He said (to him), "Go
and greet that group of angels sitting there, and listen what they
will say in reply to you, for that will be your greeting and the
greeting of your offspring." Adam (went and) said, 'As-Salamu
alaikum (Peace be upon you).' They replied, 'AsSalamu-'Alaika wa
Rahmatullah (Peace and Allah's Mercy be on you) So they increased
'Wa Rahmatullah' The Prophet added 'So whoever will enter
Paradise, will be of the shape and form of Adam. Since then the
creation of Adam's (offspring) (i.e. stature of human beings is
being diminished continuously) to the present time."
This mythology finds no basis even in the Quran, or even highly
altered Old and New Testaments (which give Adam an extremely long
life-span, but not a 90 foot height!).
DOES SATAN REGULATE OUR SLEEP?
According to Bukhari, the natural process of sleeping is
regulated by Satan!
Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 21, Number 243:
Narrated Abu Huraira
Allah's Apostle said, "SATAN PUTS THREE KNOTS AT THE
BACK OF THE HEAD OF ANY OF YOU IF HE IS ASLEEP. ON EVERY KNOT HE
READS AND EXHALES THE FOLLOWING WORDS, 'THE NIGHT IS LONG, SO STAY
ASLEEP.' When one wakes up and remembers Allah, one knot
is undone; and when one performs ablution, the second knot is
undone, and when one prays the third knot is undone and one gets
up energetic with a good heart in the morning; otherwise one gets
up lazy and with a mischievous heart."
Isn’t the deviant jinn Iblis supposed to have no power over
Allah’s servants (Quran, 15:42)?
MOSES DISOBEYED ALLAH WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR HIM TO DIE?
Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 23, Number 423:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
THE ANGEL OF DEATH WAS SENT TO MOSES AND WHEN HE WENT TO HIM,
MOSES SLAPPED HIM SEVERELY, SPOILING ONE OF HIS EYES. THE ANGEL
WENT BACK TO HIS LORD, AND SAID, "YOU SENT ME TO A SLAVE WHO
DOES NOT WANT TO DIE." Allah restored his eye and
said, "Go back and tell him (i.e. Moses) to place his hand
over the back of an ox, for he will be allowed to live for a
number of years equal to the number of hairs coming under his
hand." (So the angel came to him and told him the same). Then
Moses asked, "O my Lord! What will be then?" He said,
"Death will be then." He said, "(Let it be)
now." He asked Allah that He bring him near the Sacred Land
at a distance of a stone's throw. Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said,
"Were I there I would show you the grave of Moses by the way
near the red sand hill."
This false hadith is a slander against the rightly-guided
Prophet Moses (pbuh), since it
suggests that Moses (pbuh) disobeyed ALLAH at the time
appointed for Moses’ death!
DOES SATAN HAVE POWER TO INTERRUPT THE PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL?
According to Muslim, "Yes"!
Muslim, Book 4, Number 0756:
Abu Huraira reported: The Apostle (may peace be upon him) said
When the call to prayer is made, SATAN runs back and
breaks wind so as not to hear the call being made, and when the
call is finished. he turns round. When Iqama is proclaimed he
turns his back, and when it is finished HE TURNS ROUND TO
DISTRACT A MAN, SAYING: REMEMBER SUCH AND SUCH; REMEMBER SUCH AND
SUCH, REFERRING TO SOMETHING THE MAN DID NOT HAVE IN HIS MIND,
WITH THE RESULT THAT HE DOES NOT KNOW HOW MUCH HE HAS PRAYED.
Muslim, Book 4, Number 0757:
A hadith like it has been narrated by Abu Huraira but for these
words : "He (the man saying the prayer) does not know how
much he has prayed.
Isn’t the deviant jinn Iblis supposed to have no power over
Allah’s servants (Quran, 15:42)? Then how can Iblis make Muslims
lose track of their prayers?
IS PUTTING OUT OF THE EYES AN APPROPRIATE PUNISHMENT FOR
GLANCING INTO ANOTHER’S HOUSE WITHOUT PERMISSION?
According to Muslim, "Yes"!
Muslim, Book 25, Number 5366:
Sahl b. Sa'd as-Sa'id reported that A PERSON PEEPED
THROUGH THE HOLE OF THE DOOR OF ALLAH'S MESSENGER (may
peace be upon him), and at that time Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) had with him a scratching instrument with which he
had been scratching his head. When Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) saw him. he said: IF I WERE TO KNOW THAT YOU HAD
BEEN PEEPING THROUGH THE DOOR, I WOULD HAVE THRUST THAT INTO YOUR
EYES, and Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said:
Permission is needed as a protection against glance.
Muslim, Book 25, Number 5367:
Sahl b. Sa'd as-Sa'idi reported that A PERSON PEEPED
THROUGH THE HOLE OF THE DOOR OF ALLAH'S MESSENGER (MAY PEACE BE
UPON HIM) and he had with him some pointed thing with
which he had been adjusting (the hair of his head). ALLAH'S
MESSENGER (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) SAID TO HIM: IF I WERE TO KNOW
THAT YOU HAD BEEN PEEPING. I WOULD HAVE THRUST IT IN YOUR EYES.
Allah has prescribed seeking permission because of protection
against glance.
Muslim, Book 25, Number 5370:
Abu Huraira reported having heard Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) say: HE WHO PEEPED INTO THE HOUSE OF PEOPLE
WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT, IT IS PERMISSIBLE FOR THEM TO PUT OUT HIS
EYES.
Muslim, Book 25, Number 5371:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
as saying: IF A PERSON WERE TO CAST A GLANCE IN YOUR (HOUSE)
WITHOUT PERMISSION, AND YOU HAD IN YOUR HAND A STAFF AND YOU WOULD
HAVE THRUST THAT IN HIS EYES, THERE IS NO HARM FOR YOU.
DO DOGS AND PICTURES IMOBILIZE ALLAH’S ANGELS?
According to Muslim, Allah’s angels can be stopped by
presence of a dog or picture?
Muslim, Book 024, Number 5246:
A'isha reported that Gabriel (peace be upon him) made a promise
with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) to come at a
definite hour; that hour came but he did not visit him. And there
was in his hand (in the hand of Allah's Apostle) a staff. He threw
it from his hand and said: Never has Allah or His messengers
(angels) ever broken their promise. Then he cast a glance (and by
chance) found a puppy under his cot and said: 'A'isha, when did
this dog enter here? She said: BY Allah, I don't know He then
commanded and it was turned out. Then Gabriel came and Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to him: You promised me and
I waited for you. but you did not come, whereupon he said: IT
WAS THE DOG IN YOUR HOUSE WHICH PREVENTED ME (TO COME), FOR WE
(ANGELS) DO NOT ENTER A HOUSE IN WHICH THERE IS A DOG OR A
PICTURE.
Muslim, Book 024, Number 5247:
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Hazim
with the same chain of transmitters that Gabriel had promised
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) that he would come; the
rest of the hadith is the same, but it is not so lengthy as the
other one.
Muslim, Book 024, Number 5248:
Maimuna reported that one morning Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) was silent with grief. Maimuna said: Allah's
Messenger, I find a change in your mood today. Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) said: Gabriel had promised me that he
would meet me tonight, but he did not meet me. By Allah, he never
broke his promises, and Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
spent the day in this sad (mood). Then it occurred to him that
there had been a puppy under their cot. He commanded and it was
turned out. He then took some water in his hand and sprinkled it
at that place. WHEN IT WAS EVENING GABRIEL MET HIM AND HE
SAID TO HIM: YOU PROMISED ME THAT YOU WOULD MEET ME THE PREVIOUS
NIGHT. HE SAID: YES, BUT WE DO NOT ENTER A HOUSE IN WHICH THERE IS
A DOG OR A PICTURE. Then on that very morning he commanded
the killing of the dogs until he announced that the dog kept for
the orchards should also be killed, but he spared the dog meant
for the protection of extensive fields (or big gardens).
Muslim, Book 024, Number 5249:
Abu Talha reported Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him)
having said: ANGELS DO NOT ENTER A HOUSE IN WHICH THERE IS A
DOG OR A PICTURE.
If Allah’s angels are perfectly capable of withstanding Satan
himself, how can dogs or pictures stop them? Also, if dogs are
really instruments of Satan, why did Allah protect
a DOG along with the Companions of the Cave (Quran
18:18 and 18:20)? Also, didn’t Allah give Solomon power over the
jinns to build statues - i.e. physical depictions of people ?
Quran 34:13
IS FEVER CAUSED BY "THE HEAT OF HELL" RATHER THAN
BACTERIA AND VIRUSES?
According to Bukhari, "Yes."
Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 71, Number 619:
Narrated Nazi':
Abdullah bin 'Umar said, "The Prophet said, 'FEVER
IS FROM THE HEAT OF HELL, so put it out (cool it) with
water.' " Nafi' added: 'Abdullah used to say, "O Allah!
Relieve us from the punishment," (when he suffered from
fever).
Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 71, Number 621:
Narrated 'Aisha:
The Prophet said, "FEVER IS FROM THE HEAT OF HELL,
so abate fever with water."
Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 71, Number 622:
Narrated Rafi bin Khadij:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "FEVER IS FROM THE
HEAT OF HELL, so abate fever with water."
This unscientific clap-trap surely is NOT a revelation
from Allah!
ARE ONLY 70,000 MUSLIMS GUARANTEED SALVATION?
Here it is, straight from Bukhari:
Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 71, Number 648:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The Prophet once came out to us and said, "Some nations
were displayed before me. A prophet would pass in front of me with
one man, and another with two men, and another with a group of
people. and another with nobody with him. Then I saw a great crowd
covering the horizon and I wished that they were my followers, but
it was said to me, 'This is Moses and his followers.' Then it was
said to me, 'Look'' I looked and saw a big gathering with a large
number of people covering the horizon. It was said, "Look
this way and that way.' So I saw a big crowd covering the horizon.
Then it was said to me, "THESE ARE YOUR FOLLOWERS, AND
AMONG THEM THERE ARE 70,000 WHO WILL ENTER PARADISE WITHOUT (BEING
ASKED ABOUT THEIR) ACCOUNTS. " Then the people
dispersed and the Prophet did not tell who those 70,000
were. So the companions of the Prophet started talking about that
and some of them said, "As regards us, we were born in the
era of heathenism, but then we believed in Allah and His Apostle .
We think however, that these (70,000) are our
offspring." That talk reached the Prophet who said,
"These (70,000) are the people who do not draw
an evil omen from (birds) and do not get treated by branding
themselves and do not treat with Ruqya, but put their trust (only)
in their Lord." then 'Ukasha bin Muhsin got up and said,
"O Allah's Apostle! Am I one of those (70,000)?" The
Prophet said, "Yes." Then another person got up and
said, "Am I one of them?" The Prophet said, " 'Ukasha
has anticipated you."
Out of over 1 BILLION Muslims living today, and A FEW
HUNDRED MILLION who predeceased
us, the Prophet (pbuh) saw only 70,000 marching into
Jannah without account!
These numbers make the Jehovah’s Witnesses look good! At
least they say there are
144,000 saints who go directly to Heaven!
SHOULD JEWS AND CHRISTIANS BE EXPELLED FROM THE ARABIAN
PENINSULA?
Muslim says "Yes"!
Muslim, Book 019, Number 4366:
It has been narrated by 'Umar b. al-Khattib that he heard the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say: I WILL EXPEL
THE JEWS AND CHRISTIANS FROM THE ARABIAN PENINSULA AND WILL NOT
LEAVE ANY BUT MUSLIM.
Muslim, Book 019, Number 4367:
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zubair with
the same chain of transmitters.
Whatever happened to "no compulsion in religion" (Quran
2:256), do not "force the people to become believers" (Quran
10:99), and "then who ever wills let him believe, and whoever
wills let him disbelieve" (Quran 18:29)?
SHOULD MUSLIMS BE DISCOURTEOUS THE JEWS AND CHRISTIANS?
Muslim says "Yes"!
Muslim, Book 026, Number 5389:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
as saying: DO NOT GREET THE JEWS AND THE CHRISTIANS BEFORE
THEY GREET YOU AND WHEN YOU MEET ANY ONE OF THEM ON THE ROADS
FORCE HIM TO GO TO THE NARROWEST PART OF IT.
Muslim, Book 026, Number 5390:
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Suhail with
the same chain of transmitters but with a slight variation of
wording. The hadith transmitted on the authority of Waki', the
words are 'When you meet the Jews." And in the hadith
transmitted on the authority of Shu'ba, the words are: 'When you
meet the People of the Book." And in the hadith transmitted
on the authority of Jarir the words are:" When you meet
them," but none amongst the polytheists has been mentioned
explicitly by name.
Since when is incivility a divinely inspired revelation!
ARE WOMEN INHERENTLY CROOKED AND DID EVE TEMPT ADAM?
Muslim says "Yes"!
Muslim, Book 8, Number 3466:
AbuHuraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: WOMAN IS LIKE A
RIB. When you attempt to straighten it, you would break
it. AND IF YOU LEAVE HER ALONE YOU WOULD BENEFIT BY HER, AND
CROOKEDNESS WILL REMAIN IN HER. A hadith like this is
reported by another chain of narrators
Muslim, Book 8, Number 3467:
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported: WOMAN
HAS BEEN CREATED FROM A RIB AND WILL IN NO WAY BE STRAIGHTENED FOR
YOU; SO IF YOU WISH TO BENEFIT BY HER, BENEFIT BY HER WHILE
CROOKEDNESS REMAINS IN HER. And if you attempt to
straighten her, you will break her, and breaking her is divorcing
her.
Muslim, Book 8, Number 3468:
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: He who believes in
Allah and the Hereafter, if he witnesses any matter he should talk
in good terms about it or keep quiet. ACT KINDLY TOWARDS
WOMAN, FOR WOMAN IS CREATED FROM A RIB, AND THE MOST CROOKED PART
OF THE RIB IS ITS TOP .IF YOU ATTEMPT TO STRAIGHTEN IT, YOU WILL
BREAK IT, AND IF YOU LEAVE IT, ITS CROOKEDNESS WILL REMAIN THERE.
So act kindly towards women.
Muslim, Book 8, Number 3471:
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: HAD IT NOT BEEN
FOR EVE, WOMAN WOULD HAVE NEVER ACTED UNFAITHFULLY TOWARDS HER
HUSBAND.
Muslim, Book 8, Number 3472:
Hammam b. Munabbih said: These are some of the ahadith which
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) narrated to us from
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), and one of these (this
one): Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Had it not
been for Bani Isra'il, food would not have become stale, and meal
would not have gone bad; and HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR EVE, A
WOMAN WOULD NEVER HAVE ACTED UNFAITHFULLY TOWARD HER HUSBAND.
There is no Quranic basis for asserting the moral inferiority
of women. The Quran says
that Adam and Eve EACH disobeyed Allah by eating the
forbidden fruit on their own, in
contrast to the Old Testament myth that Adam was tempted by
Eve. See Quran, 7:22-25.
IS EXTERMINATION OF ANTS PROHIBITED?
According to Muslim, "Yes"!
Muslim, Book 26, Number 5567:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
as saying: An ant had bitten a Prophet (one amongst the earlier
Prophets) and he ordered that the colony of the ants should be
burnt. And Allah revealed to him: "BECAUSE OF AN ANT'S
BITE YOU HAVE BURNT A COMMUNITY FROM AMONGST THE COMMUNITIES WHICH
SINGS MY GLORY."
Muslim, Book 26, Number 5568:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
as saying: An Apostle from amongst the Apostles of Allah encamped
under a tree, and an ant bit him, and he commanded his belongings
to be removed from underneath the tree. He then commanded and it
was burnt, and Allah revealed to bin): "WHY ONE ANT
(WHICH HAD BITTEN YOU) WAS NOT KILLED?"
Muslim, Book 26, Number 5569:
Abu Huraira reported so many ahadith and one of them was this
that Allah' Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: When an
Apostle from amongst the Apostles of Allah came to sit under a
tree an ant bit him. He commanded his luggage to be removed from
under the tree and he commanded it to be burnt in the fire and
Allah revealed to him: "WHY ONE ANT (WHICH HAD BITTEN
YOU) WAS NOT KILLED (AND WHY DID YOU BURN THE OTHERS)?
So we cannot lay ant traps or call exterminators?
IS KILLING LIZARDS COMMANDED?
According to Muslim, the Prophet (pbuh) offered heavenly
rewards for an environmental atrocity: Killing non-venomous
lizards, which serve to keep a natural check on insect
popoulations!
Muslim, Book 26, Number 5560:
Umm Sharik reported that ALLAH'S MESSENGER (MAY PEACE BE
UPON HIM) COMMANDED HER TO KILL GECKOS. This hadith has
been transmitted on the authority of Ibn Abi Shaiba with a slight
variation of wording.
Muslim, Book 26, Number 5561:
Umm Sharik reported that she consulted ALLAH'S APOSTLE
(MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) IN REGARD TO KILLING OF GECKOS, AND HE
COMMANDED TO KILL THEM and Umm Sharik is one of the women
of Bani 'Amir b. Luwayy. This hadith has been reported through
another chain of transmitters with the same meaning.
Muslim, Book 26, Number 5562:
'Amir b. Sa'd reported on the authority of his father that ALLAH'S
APOSTLE (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) COMMANDED THE KILLING OF GECKOS,
and he called them little noxious creatures.
Muslim, Book 26, Number 5564:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
as saying: HE WHO KILLED A GECKO WITH THE FIRST STROKE FOR
HIM IS SUCH AND SUCH A REWARD, AND HE WHO KILLED IT WITH A SECOND
STROKE FOR HIM IS SUCH AND SUCH REWARD LESS THAN THE FIRST ONE,
AND HE WHO KILLED IT WITH THE THIRD STROKE FOR HIM IS SUCH AND
SUCH A REWARD LESS THAN THE SECOND ONE.
Muslim, Book 26, Number 5565:
This hadith has been reported on the authority of Abu Huraira
through another chain of transmitters (and the words are): HE
WHO KILLED A GECKO WITH THE FIRST STROKE FOR HIM ARE ORDAINED ONE
HUNDRED VIRTUES, AND WITH THE SECOND ONE LESS THAN THAT AND WITH
THE THIRD ONE LESS THAN THAT.
Muslim, Book 26, Number 5566:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
as saying (that HE WHO KILLS A GECKO) WITH THE FIRST STROKE
THERE ARE SEVENTY REWARDS FOR HIM.
This nonsense is not more the Word of Allah than would be a
command to pour lead and mercury into lakes!
CAN A HUSBAND ORDER HIS WIFE NOT TO FAST?
"YES," according to Bukhari!
Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 123:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "IT IS NOT LAWFUL FOR A LADY
TO FAST WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF HER HUSBAND WHEN HE IS AT HOME;
and she should not allow anyone to enter his house except with his
permission; and if she spends of his wealth (on charitable
purposes) without being ordered by him, he will get half of the
reward."
This false hadith DIRECTLY CONFLICTS WITH THE QURAN, which
commands ALL MUSLIMS to fast during Ramadan. Quran
2:183-285, 187! The Quran explicitly imposes
this obligation on BOTH "men AND WOMEN."
Quran 33:35.
RAPE OF FEMALE CAPTIVES OK?
Muslim., Book 008, Number 3371:
Abu Sirma said to Abu Sa'id al Khadri (Allah he pleased with
him): 0 Abu Sa'id, did you hear Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) mentioning al-'azl? He said: Yes, and added: WE
WENT OUT WITH ALLAH'S MESSENGER (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) ON THE
EXPEDITION TO THE BI'L-MUSTALIQ AND TOOK CAPTIVE SOME EXCELLENT
ARAB WOMEN; AND WE DESIRED THEM, FOR WE WERE SUFFERING FROM THE
ABSENCE OF OUR WIVES, (but at the same time) we also
desired ransom for them. SO WE DECIDED TO HAVE SEXUAL
INTERCOURSE WITH THEM BUT BY OBSERVING 'AZL (WITHDRAWING THE MALE
SEXUAL ORGAN BEFORE EMISSION OF SEMEN TO AVOID-CONCEPTION). BUT WE
SAID: WE ARE DOING AN ACT WHEREAS ALLAH'S MESSENGER IS AMONGST US;
WHY NOT ASK HIM? SO WE ASKED ALLAH'S MESSENGER (MAY PEACE BE UPON
HIM), AND HE SAID: IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU DO NOT DO IT,
for every soul that is to be born up to the Day of Resurrection
will be born.
Muslim, Book 008, Number 3373:
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) reported: WE
TOOK WOMEN CAPTIVES, AND WE WANTED TO DO 'AZL WITH THEM. WE THEN
ASKED ALLAH'S MESSENGER (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) ABOUT IT, AND HE
SAID TO US: VERILY YOU DO IT, VERILY YOU DO IT, VERILY YOU DO IT,
but the soul which has to be born until the Day of judgment must
be born.
So the Prophet (pbuh) blessed war crimes, like those committed
by the Serbs in Bosnia? That’s
what these "infallible" ahadith say!
IS IT PROHIBITED TO URINATE IN A HOLE?
Abu-Dawud, Book 1, Number 0029:
Narrated Abdullah ibn Sarjis:
THE PROPHET (PEACE BE UPON HIM) PROHIBITED TO URINATE IN A
HOLE.
Since toilets are and outhouses are "holes" does this
mean no toilets and outhouses, I guess this infallible hadith
prohibits us from peeing in them!
IS IT OK TO URINATE ON THE FLOOR OF A MOSQUE?
Muslim, Book 002, Number 0558:
Anas b. Malik narrated that A DESERT ARAB (BEDOUIN) STOOD
IN A CORNER OF THE MOSQUE AND URINATED THERE.
The people (the Companions of the Holy Prophet who were present
there) shouted, but the MESSENGER OF ALLAH (MAY PEACE BE
UPON HIM) SAID: LEAVE HIM ALONE. WHEN HE HAD FINISHED, THE
MESSENGER OF ALLAH (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) ORDERED THAT A BUCKET
(OF WATER) SHOULD BE BROUGHT AND POURED OVER IT.
Try out this "infallible" hadith in a mosque
sometime, and see the response you get!
MUST A MAN PERFORM ABLUTION WHEN HE TOUCHES HIS PENIS?
Here the Prophet (pbuh) says "YES":
Abu-Dawud, Book 1, Number 0181:
Narrated Busrah daughter of Safwan:
Abdullah ibn AbuBakr reported that he heard Urwah say: I
entered upon Marwan ibn al-Hakam. We mentioned things that render
the ablution void. Marwan said: Does it become void by touching
the penis? Urwah replied: This I do not know. Marwan said: Busrah
daughter of Safwan reported to me that she heard the Messenger of
Allah (peace be upon him) say: HE WHO TOUCHES HIS PENIS
SHOULD PERFORM ABLUTION.
Here the Prophet (pbuh) says "NO":
Abu-Dawud, Book 1, Number 0182:
Narrated Talq:
We came upon the Prophet of Allah (peace be upon him). A man
came to him: he seemed to be a bedouin. He said: PROPHET OF
ALLAH, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT A MAN WHO TOUCHES HIS PENIS AFTER
PERFORMING ABLUTION? HE (PEACE BE UPON HIM) REPLIED: THAT IS ONLY
A PART OF HIS BODY.
Which "infallible" haidth should a guy follow?
IS "COITUS INTERRUPTUS" LAWFUL OR NOT?
"Azl" means "coitus interruptus" or (Penis
withdrawal before ejaculation).
In the following Hadith the Prophet (pbuh) compares the "Azl"
to a SECRET WAY OF BURYING ALIVE a child.
Muslim, Book 008, Number 3392:
Judama daughter of Wahb, sister of Ukkasha (Allah be pleased
with her). reported: I WENT TO ALLAH'S MESSENGER (MAY PEACE
BE UPON HIM) ALONG WITH SOME PERSONS AND ASKED HIM ABOUT 'AZL,
whereupon HE SAID. THAT IS THE SECRET (WAY OF) BURYING ALIVE,
and Ubaidullah has made this addition in the hadith transmitted by
al-Muqri and that is:" When the one buried alive is
asked."
But in the Hadith below the Prophet (pbuh) considers the "Azl"
lawful.
Abu-Dawud, Book 11, Number 2166:
Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri:
A man said: Apostle of Allah, I have a slave-girl and I
withdraw the penis from her (while having intercourse), and I
dislike that she becomes pregnant. I intend (by intercourse) what
the men intend by it. THE JEWS SAY THAT WITHDRAWING THE
PENIS (AZL) IS BURYING THE LIVING GIRLS on a small scale. HE
(THE PROPHET) SAID: THE JEWS TOLD A LIE. If Allah intends
to create it, you cannot turn it away.
