ISLAMIC LIES, ABSURDITIES  & INACCURACIES - Volume #3
(Based upon the Haddiths)
By: Abdul Haleem
 
IS THE QURAN INCOMPLETE?

There are numerous ahadith that claim "YES"!

Muslim, Book 8, Number 3421:

Narrated Aisha:

It had been revealed in the Qur'an that ten clear sucklings make the marriage unlawful, then it was abrogated (and substituted) by five sucklings and Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) died AND IT WAS BEFORE THAT TIME (FOUND) IN THE QUR'AN (and recited by the Muslims).

Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 82, Number 816:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

'Umar said, "I am afraid that after a long time has passed, people may say, "WE DO NOT FIND THE VERSES OF THE RAJAM (STONING TO DEATH) IN THE HOLY BOOK," and consequently they may go astray by leaving AN OBLIGATION THAT ALLAH HAS REVEALED. Lo! I confirm that the penalty of Rajam be inflicted on him who commits illegal sexual intercourse, if he is already married and the crime is proved by witnesses or pregnancy or confession." Sufyan added, "I have memorized this narration in this way." 'Umar added, "Surely Allah's Apostle carried out the penalty of Rajam, and so did we after him."

Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 82, Number 817:

In the meantime, 'Umar sat on the pulpit and when the callmakers for the prayer had finished their call, 'Umar stood up, and having glorified and praised Allah as He deserved, he said, "Now then, I am going to tell you something which (Allah) has written for me to say. I do not know; perhaps it portends my death, so whoever understands and remembers it, must narrate it to the others wherever his mount takes him, but if somebody is afraid that he does not understand it, then it is unlawful for him to tell lies about me. ALLAH SENT MUHAMMAD WITH THE TRUTH AND REVEALED THE HOLY BOOK TO HIM, AND AMONG WHAT ALLAH REVEALED, WAS THE VERSE OF THE RAJAM (THE STONING OF MARRIED PERSON (MALE & FEMALE) WHO COMMITS ILLEGAL SEXUAL INTERCOURSE, AND WE DID RECITE THIS VERSE AND UNDERSTOOD AND MEMORIZED IT. Allah's Apostle did carry out the punishment of stoning and so did we after him.

I am afraid that after a long time has passed, somebody will say, 'BY ALLAH, WE DO NOT FIND THE VERSE OF THE RAJAM IN ALLAH'S BOOK,' and thus they will go astray by leaving an obligation which Allah has revealed. And the punishment of the Rajam is to be inflicted to any married person (male & female), who commits illegal sexual intercourse, if the required evidence is available or there is conception or confession. And then we used to recite among the Verses in Allah's Book: 'O people! Do not claim to be the offspring of other than your fathers, as it is disbelief (unthankfulness) on your part that you claim to be the offspring of other than your real father.' Then Allah's Apostle said, 'Do not praise me excessively as Jesus, son of Marry was praised, but call me Allah's Slave and His Apostles.' (O people!) I have been informed that a speaker amongst you says, 'By Allah, if 'Umar should die, I will give the pledge of allegiance to such-and-such person.' One should not deceive oneself by saying that the pledge of allegiance given to Abu Bakr was given suddenly and it was successful. No doubt, it was like that, but Allah saved (the people) from its evil, and there is none among you who has the qualities of Abu Bakr. Remember that whoever gives the pledge of allegiance to anybody among you without consulting the other Muslims, neither that person, nor the person to whom the pledge of allegiance was given, are to be supported, lest they both should be killed. . . .

'Abdullah b. 'Abbas reported that 'Umar b. Khattab sat on the pulpit of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and said: Verily ALLAH SENT MUHAMMAD (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) WITH TRUTH AND HE SENT DOWN THE BOOK UPON HIM, AND THE VERSE OF STONING WAS INCLUDED IN WHAT WAS SENT DOWN TO HIM. We recited it, retained it in our memory and understood it. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) awarded the punishment of stoning to death (to the married adulterer and adulteress) and, after him, we also awarded the punishment of stoning, I am afraid that with the lapse of time, the people (may forget it) and may say: We do not find the punishment of stoning in the Book of Allah, and thus go astray by abandoning this duty prescribed by Allah. Stoning is a duty laid down in Allah's Book for married men and women who commit adultery when proof is established, or it there is pregnancy, or a confession.

Musnad Ahmad bin Hanbal. vol. 6. p. 269; Sunan Ibn Majah, p. 626; Ibn Qutbah, Tawil Mukhtalafi 'l-Hadith (Cairo: Maktaba al-Kulliyat al-Azhariyya. 1966) p. 310; As-Suyuti, ad-Durru 'l-Manthur, vol. 2. p. 13:

Aisha narrated the following:

"THE VERSE OF STONING AND OF SUCKLING AN ADULT TEN TIMES WERE REVEALED, AND THEY WERE (WRITTEN) ON A PAPER AND KEPT UNDER MY BED. WHEN THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH (S.A.W.) EXPIRED AND WE WERE PREOCCUPIED WITH HIS DEATH, A GOAT ENTERED AND ATE AWAY THE PAPER."

How can a verse of a perfect scripture, which was completed during Muhammad's lifetime, be abrogated by a goat?

Sounds like "the dog ate my homework" to me!

Muslim, Book 005, Number 2266:

Abu Harb b. Abu al-Aswad reported on the authority of his father that Abu Musa al-Ash'ari sent for the reciters of Basra. They came to him and they were three hundred in number. They recited the Qur'an and he said: You are the best among the inhabitants of Basra, for you are the reciters among them. So continue to recite it. (But bear in mind) that your reciting for a long time may not harden your hearts as were hardened the hearts of those before you. WE USED TO RECITE A SURA WHICH RESEMBLED IN LENGTH AND SEVERITY (SURA) BARA'AT. I have, however, forgotten it with the exception of this which I remember out of it: "If there were two valleys full of riches for the son of Adam, he would long for a third valley, and nothing would fill the stomach of the son of Adam but dust." AND WE USED TO SO RECITE A SURA WHICH RESEMBLED ONE OF THE SURAS OF MUSABBIHAT, and I have forgotten it, but remember (this much) out of it: "O people who believe, why do you say that which you do not practice" (lxi 2.) and "that is recorded in your necks as a witness (against you) and you would be asked about in on the Day of Resurrection" (xvii. 13)."

Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 69:

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

For thirty days Allah's Apostle invoked Allah to curse those who had killed the companions of Bir-Mauna; he invoked evil upon the tribes of Ral, Dhakwan, and Usaiya who disobeyed Allah and His Apostle. THERE WAS REVELED ABOUT THOSE WHO WERE KILLED AT BIR-MAUNA A QURANIC VERSE WE USED TO RECITE, BUT IT WAS CANCELLED LATER ON. THE VERSE WAS:

"INFORM OUR PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE MET OUR LORD. HE IS PLEASED WITH US AND HE HAS MADE US PLEASED"

Narrated Anas:

The Prophet sent seventy men from the tribe of Bani Salim to the tribe of Bani Amir. When they reached there, my maternal uncle said to them, "I will go ahead of you, and if they allow me to convey the message of Allah's Apostle (it will be all right); otherwise you will remain close to me." So he went ahead of them and the pagans granted him security But while he was reporting the message of the Prophet , they beckoned to one of their men who stabbed him to death. My maternal uncle said, "Allah is Greater! By the Lord of the Kaba, I am successful." After that they attached the rest of the party and killed them all except a lame man who went up to the top of the mountain. (Hammam, a sub-narrator said, "I think another man was saved along with him)." Gabriel informed the Prophet that they (i.e the martyrs) met their Lord, and He was pleased with them and made them pleased. WE USED TO RECITE, "INFORM OUR PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE MET OUR LORD, HE IS PLEASED WITH US AND HE HAS MADE US PLEASED " LATER ON THIS QURANIC VERSE WAS CANCELLED. The Prophet invoked Allah for forty days to curse the murderers from the tribe of Ral, Dhakwan, Bani Lihyan and Bam Usaiya who disobeyed Allah and his Apostle

These false ahadith all contradict the Quran - which says it is fully -detailed and complete. Quran, 6:114; 12:111. Don’t these ahadith really tend to undermine Islam’s claim that THE QURAN is infallible?

According to the following hadith from Bukhari, Copernicus was wrong!

"Narrated Abu Dhar:

"The Prophet asked me at sunset, ‘Do you know where the sun goes (at the time of sunset)?’ I replied, ‘Allah and His Apostle know better.’ He said, ‘IT GOES (I.E. TRAVELS) TILL IT PROSTRATES ITSELF UNDERNEATH THE THRONE AND TAKES THE PERMISSION TO RISE AGAIN, AND IT IS PERMITTED AND THEN (A TIME WILL COME WHEN) IT WILL BE ABOUT TO PROSTRATE ITSELF BUT ITS PROSTRATION WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED, AND IT WILL ASK PERMISSION TO GO ON ITS COURSE BUT IT WILL NOT BE PERMITTED, BUT IT WILL BE ORDERED TO RETURN WHENCE IT HAS COME AND SO IT WILL RISE IN THE WEST.’ . . ."

Emphasis added.

Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 73, Number 175:

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

The Prophet said, "IT IS BETTER FOR A MAN TO FILL THE INSIDE OF HIS BODY WITH PUS THAN TO FILL IT WITH POETRY."

Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 73, Number 176:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle; said, "IT IS BETTER FOR ANYONE OF YOU THAT THE INSIDE OF HIS BODY BE FILLED WITH PUS WHICH MAY CONSUME HIS BODY, THAN IT BE FILLED WITH POETRY."

Muslim, Book 028, Number 5609:

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: IT IS BETTER FOR A MAN'S BELLY TO BE STUFFED WITH PUS WHICH CORRODES IT THAN TO STUFF ONE'S MIND WITH FRIVOLOUS POETRY. Abd Bakr has reported it with a slight variation of wording.

Muslim, Book 028, Number 5610:

Sa'd reported Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: IT IS BETTER FOR THE BELLY OF ANY ONE OF YOU TO BE STUFFED WITH PUS RATHER THAN TO STUFF (ONE'S MIND) WITH POETRY.

Muslim, Book 028, Number 5611:

Abu Sa`id Khudri reported: We were going with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). As we reached the place (known as) Arj there met (us) a poet who had been reciting poetry. Thereupon Allah's Messanger (may peace be upon him) said: CATCH THE SATAN OR DETAIN THE SATAN, FOR FILLING THE BELLY OF A MAN WITH PUS IS BETTING THAN STUFFING HIS BRAIN WITH POETRY.

Muslim, Book 028, Number 5612:

Buraida reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: HE WHO PLAYED CHESS IS LIKE ONE WHO DYED HIS HAND WITH THE FLESH AND BLOOD OF SWINE.

Malik, Book 52, Number 52.2.7:

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar that when he found one of his family playing dice he beat him and destroyed the dice.

Yahya said that he heard Malik say, "THERE IS NO GOOD IN CHESS, AND HE DISAPPROVED OF IT." Yahya said, "I heard him disapprove of playing it and other worthless games. He recited this ayat, 'What is there after the truth except going the wrong way.' " (Sura l0 ayat 32).

Narrated AbuMusa al-Ash'ari:

The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: HE WHO PLAYS BACKGAMMON DISOBEYS ALLAH AND HIS APOSTLE.

Narrated Ibn Umar:

That he heard the Prophet delivering a sermon on the pulpit saying, "KILL SNAKES AND KILL DHU-AT-TUFYATAIN (I.E. A SNAKE WITH TWO WHITE LINES ON ITS BACK) AND ALBATROSS (I.E. A SNAKE WITH SHORT OR MUTILATED TAIL) FOR THEY DESTROY THE SIGHT OF ONE'S EYES AND BRING ABOUT ABORTION." ('Abdullah bin 'Umar further added): Once while I was chasing a snake in order, to kill it, Abu Lubaba called me saying: "Don't kill it," I said. "Allah's Apostle ordered us to kill snakes." He said, "But later on he prohibited the killing of snakes living in the houses." (Az-Zubri said. "Such snakes are called Al-Awamir.")

Narrated 'Aisha:

The Prophet said, "KILL THE SNAKE WITH TWO WHITE LINES ON ITS BACK, FOR IT BLINDS THE ON-LOOKER AND CAUSES ABORTION."

Narrated 'Aisha:

THE PROPHET ORDERED THAT A SHORT-TAILED OR MUTILATED-TAILED SNAKE (I.E. ABTAR) SHOULD BE KILLED, FOR IT BLINDS THE ON-LOOKER AND CAUSES ABORTION."

Narrated Abu Mulaika:

Ibn Umar used to kill snakes, but afterwards he forbade their killing and said, "Once the Prophet pulled down a wall and saw a cast-off skin of a snake in it. He said, 'Look for the snake. 'They found it and the Prophet said, "Kill it." For this reason I used to kill snakes. Later on I met Abu Lubaba who told me the Prophet said, 'DO NOT KILL SNAKES EXCEPT THE SHORT-TAILED OR MUTILATED-TAILED SNAKE WITH TWO WHITE LINES ON ITS BACK, FOR IT CAUSES ABORTION AND MAKES ONE BLIND. SO KILL IT.' "

Muslim, Book 026, Number 5542:

'A'isha reported that ALLAH'S MESSENGER (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) COMMANDED THE KILLING OF A SNAKE HAVING STRIPES OVER IT, FOR IT AFFECTS EYESIGHT AND MISCARRIES PREGNANCY.

Muslim, Book 026, Number 5544:

Salim, on the authority of his father. reported Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: KILL THE SNAKES HAVING STRIPES OVER THEM AND SHORT-TAILED SNAKES, FOR THESE TWO TYPES CAUSE MISCARRIAGE (OF A PREGNANT WOMAN) AND THEY AFFECT THE EYESIGHT ADVERSELY. So Ibn 'Umar used to kill every snake that he found. Abu Lubaba b. 'Abd al-Mundhir and Zaid b. Khattab saw him pursuing a snake, whereupon he said: They were forbidden (to kill) those snakes who live in houses.

Muslim, Book 026, Number 5545:

Ibn 'Umar reported: I heard ALLAH'S MESSENGER (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) COMMANDING THE KILLING OF DOGS AND THE KILLING OF THE STRIPED AND THE SHORT-TAILED SNAKES, FOR BOTH OF THEM AFFECT THE EYESIGHT ADVERSELY AND CAUSE MISCARRIAGE. Zuhri said: We thought of their poison (the pernicious effects of these two). Allah, however, knows best. 'Abdullah b. 'Umar said: I did not spare any snake. I rather killed everyone that I saw. One day as I was pursuing a snake from amongst the snakes of the house, Zaid b. Khattab or Abu Lubaba happened to pass by me and found me pursuing it. He said: 'Abdullah, wait. I said: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) commanded (us) to kill them, whereupon he said that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) forbade the killing of the snakes of the houses. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zuhri with the same chain of transmitters but with a slight variation of wording.

Muslim, Book 026, Number 5550:

Nafi' reported that Abu Lubaba b. 'Abd al-Mundhir al-Ansari (first) lived in Quba. He then shifted to Medina and as he was in the company of 'Abdullah b. 'Umar opening a window for him, he suddenly saw a snake in the house. They (the inmates of the house) attempted to kill that. Thereupon Abu Lubaba said: They had been forbidden to make an attempt to kill house snakes and THEY HAD BEEN COMMANDED TO KILL THE SNAKES HAVING SMALL TAILS, SMALL SNAKES AND THOSE HAVING STREAKS OVER THEM, AND IT WAS SAID: BOTH OF THEM AFFECT THE EYES AND CAUSE MISCARRIAGE TO WOMEN.

Muslim, Book 026, Number 5551:

Nafi' reported on the authority of his father that as 'Abdullah b. 'Umar saw one day (standing) near the ruin (of his house) the slough of a snake and said (to the people around him): Pursue this snake and kill it. Abu Lubaba Ansari said: I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). HE FORBADE THE KILLING OF SNAKES FOUND IN THE HOUSES EXCEPT THE SHORT-TAILED SNAKES AND THOSE HAVING STREAKS UPON THEM, FOR BOTH OF THEM OBLITERATE EYESIGHT AND AFFECT THAT WHICH IS IN THE WOMBS OF (PREGNANT) WOMEN.

Malik, Book 54, Number 54.12.32:

Malik related to me from Nafi from Sa'iba, the female mawla of A'isha, that the MESSENGER OF ALLAH, MAY ALLAH BLESS HIM AND GRANT HIM PEACE, FORBADE KILLING THE SNAKES WHICH WERE IN THE HOUSES EXCEPT THOSE WITH TWO WHITE STRIPES ON THEIR BACK AND THE SHORT ONES. THEY MADE ONE GO BLIND AND CAUSED MISCARRIAGES IN WOMEN.

What kind of science is this?

Incredibly, there are ahadith that say, "YES"!

Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri:

Muhammad ibn AbuYahya said that his father told that he and his companion went to AbuSa'id al-Khudri to pay a sick visit to him. He said: Then we came out from him and met a companion of ours who wanted to go to him. We went ahead and sat in the mosque. He then came back and told us that he heard AbuSa'id al-Khudri say: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: SOME SNAKES ARE JINN; SO WHEN ANYONE SEES ONE OF THEM IN HIS HOUSE, HE SHOULD GIVE IT A WARNING THREE TIMES. IF IT RETURN (AFTER THAT), HE SHOULD KILL IT, FOR IT IS A DEVIL.

Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri:

Muhammad ibn AbuYahya said that his father told that he and his companion went to AbuSa'id al-Khudri to pay a sick visit to him. He said: Then we came out from him and met a companion of ours who wanted to go to him. We went ahead and sat in the mosque. He then came back and told us that he heard AbuSa'id al-Khudri say: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: SOME SNAKES ARE JINN; SO WHEN ANYONE SEES ONE OF THEM IN HIS HOUSE, HE SHOULD GIVE IT A WARNING THREE TIMES. IF IT RETURN (AFTER THAT), HE SHOULD KILL IT, FOR IT IS A DEVIL.

Narrated AbdurRahman Ibn AbuLayla:

The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) was asked about the house-snakes. He said: WHEN YOU SEE ONE OF THEM IN YOUR DWELLING, SAY: I ADJURE YOU BY THE COVENANT WHICH NOAH MADE WITH YOU, AND I ADJURE YOU BY THE COVENANT WHICH SOLOMON MADE WITH YOU NOT TO HARM US. THEN IF THEY COME BACK, KILL THEM.

And we are supposed to accept this nonsense as "infallible" truth?

Narrated Um Sharik:

That THE PROPHET ORDERED HER TO KILL SALAMANDERS.

Narrated Aisha:

THE PROPHET CALLED THE SALAMANDER, A MISCHIEF-DOER. I have not heard him ordering that it should be killed. SAD BIN WAQQAS CLAIMS THAT THE PROPHET ORDERED THAT IT SHOULD BE KILLED.

The Prophet (pbuh) ordered killings of a creature that eats bugs which harm human beings and their crops?

Was the Prophet (pbuh) secretly on the payroll of a pesticide company?

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "WHEN YOU HEAR THE CROWING OF COCKS, ASK FOR ALLAH'S BLESSINGS FOR (THEIR CROWING INDICATES THAT) THEY HAVE SEEN AN ANGEL. And WHEN YOU HEAR THE BRAYING OF DONKEYS, SEEK REFUGE WITH ALLAH FROM SATAN FOR (THEIR BRAYING INDICATES) THAT THEY HAVE SEEN A SATAN."

Angels and Satan regulate these natural processes? How many bridges do you want to buy?

Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) having said: DO NOT EAT WITH YOUR LEFT HAND, FOR THE SATAN EATS WITH HIS LEFT HAND.

Ibn 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: WHEN ANY ONE OF YOU INTENDS TO EAT (MEAL), HE SHOULD EAT WITH HIS RIGHT HAND. AND WHEN HE (INTENDS) TO DRINK HE SHOULD DRINK WITH HIS RIGHT HAND, FOR THE SATAN EATS WITH HIS LEFT HAND AND DRINKS WITH HIS LEFT HAND.

This hadith is reported by Zuhri on the authority of Sufyan with a different chain of transmitters.

Salim, on the authority of his father, reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: NONE OF YOU SHOULD EAT WITH HIS LEFT HAND AND DRINK WITH THAT (LEFT HAND), FOR THE SATAN EATS WITH LEFT HAND AND DRINKS WITH THAT (HAND). Nafi' has made this addition in that:" Do not take up anything with that (left hand) and do not give anything with that" ; and in the narration transmitted on the authority of Abu Tahir there is a slight variation of wording.

These are infallible revelations: The Devil is a Southpaw? And for that reason we should not eat or drink with out left hands?

Does this make any sense at all?

Malik related to me that Ismail ibn Abi Hakim heard Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz say, "Some say that Allah the Blessed, the Exalted, will not punish the many for the wrong action of the few. However, WHEN THE OBJECTIONABLE ACTION IS COMMITTED OPENLY, THEN THEY ALL DESERVE TO BE PUNISHED."

Does this mean that Lt. Calley was right, after all? Collective Punishment is an Islamic principle?

Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 72, Number 777:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "Five practices are characteristics of the Fitra: circumcision, shaving the pubic region, clipping the nails and cutting the moustaches short."

Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 72, Number 778:

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

Allah's Apostle said, "TO SHAVE THE PUBIC HAIR, to clip the nails and to cut the moustaches short, are characteristics of the Fitra."

Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 72, Number 779:

Narrated Abu Huraira :

I heard the Prophet saying. "Five practices are characteristics of the Fitra: circumcision, SHAVING THE PUBIC HAIR, cutting the moustaches short, clipping the nails, and DEPILATING THE HAIR OF THE ARMPITS."

Muslim, Book 002, Number 0495:

Abu Huraira reported: Five are the acts quite akin to the Fitra, or five are the acts of Fitra: circumcision, SHAVING THE PUBES, cutting the nails, PLUCKING THE HAIR UNDER THE ARMPITS and clipping the moustache.

Muslim, Book 002, Number 0496:

Abu Huraira reported: Five are the acts of fitra: circumcision, REMOVING THE PUBES, clipping the moustache, cutting the nails, PLUCKING THE HAIR UNDER THE ARMPITS.

Muslim, Book 002, Number 0497:

Anas reported: A time limit has been prescribed for us for clipping the moustache, cutting the nails, PLUCKING HAIR UNDER THE ARMPITS, SHAVING THE PUBES, THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE NEGLECTED FAR MORE THAN FORTY NIGHTS.

Muslim, Book 002, Number 0502:

'A'isha reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Ten are the acts according to fitra: clipping the moustache, LETTING THE BEARD GROW, using the tooth-stick, snuffing water in the nose, cutting the nails, washing the finger joints, PLUCKING THE HAIR UNDER THE ARMPITS, SHAVING THE PUBES and cleaning one's private parts with water. The narrator said: I have forgotten the tenth, but it may have been rinsing the mouth.

Where does the Quran say ANY of these things are mandatory?

How many Muslims in the 21^st Century actually pluck their armpit hair and shave their pubes?

That's what Muslim says the Prophet (pbuh) said:

Muslim, Book 26, Number 5519:

Anas reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: There is NO TRANSITIVE DISEASE , no divination, but good omen pleases me, i.e. the good word or a good word.

Muslim, Book 26, Number 5520:

Anas b. Malik reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: There is NO TRANSITIVE DISEASE no divination, but good omen pleases me. It was said: What is good omen? He said: Sacred words.

Muslim, Book 26, Number 5521:

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: There is NO TRANSITIVE DISEASE no divination, but I like good words.

Muslim, Book 26, Number 5522:

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: There is NO TRANSITIVE DISEASE, no hama, no divination, but I like good omen.

Ever heard of AIDS, tuberculosis, hepatitis, . . .

DRINKING ALCOHOL A CAPITAL OFFENSE?

I know drinking alcohol is a sin. But a capital offense?

Abu Dawud, Book 38, Number 4467:

Narrated Mu'awiyah ibn AbuSufyan:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If they (the people) drink wine, flog them, again if they drink it, flog them. AGAIN IF THEY DRINK IT, KILL THEM.

Abu Dawud, Book 38, Number 4469:

Narrated AbuHurayrah:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If he is intoxicated, flog him; again if he is intoxicated, flog him; again if he is intoxicated, flog him IF HE DOES IT AGAIN A FOURTH TIME, KILL HIM.

AbuDawud said: And there is a similar tradition of Umar ibn AbuSalamah, from his father, on the authority of AbuHurayrah, from the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him): If he drinks wine, flog him if he does it so again, A FOURTH TIME, KILL HIM.

Abu Dawud, Book 38, Number 4470:

Narrated Qabisah ibn Dhuwayb:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: IF ANYONE DRINKS WINE, FLOG HIM; IF HE REPEATS IT, FLOG HIM, AND IF HE REPEATS IT, FLOG HIM. IF HE DOES IT AGAIN A THIRD OR A FOURTH TIME, KILL HIM. A man who had drunk wine was brought (to him) and he gave him lashes. He was again brought to him, and he flogged him. He was again brought to him and he flogged him. He was again brought to him and he flogged him. THE PUNISHMENT OF KILLING (FOR DRINKING) WAS REPEALED, AND A CONCESSION WAS ALLOWED.

And are we supposed to believe that the Prophet(pbuh) was a mentally unstable person who had a Josef Stalin-type rage and ordered people executed for drinking, then changed his mind and abolished capital punishment - after murdering people for intoxication?

Malik said, "THE POSITION WITH US ABOUT A WOMAN WHO IS FOUND TO BE PREGNANT AND HAS NO HUSBAND AND SHE SAYS, 'I WAS FORCED,' OR SHE SAYS, 'I WAS MARRIED,' IS THAT IT IS NOT ACCEPTED FROM HER AND THE HADD IS INFLICTED ON HER UNLESS SHE HAS A CLEAR PROOF OF WHAT SHE CLAIMS ABOUT THE MARRIAGE OR THAT SHE WAS FORCED OR SHE COMES BLEEDING IF SHE WAS A VIRGIN OR SHE CALLS OUT FOR HELP SO THAT SOMEONE COMES TO HER AND SHE IS IN THAT STATE OR WHAT RESEMBLES IT OF THE SITUATION IN WHICH THE VIOLATION OCCURRED." He said, "If she does not produce any of those, the hadd [punishment of lashing] is inflicted on her and what she claims of that is not accepted from her."

Malik said, "A RAPED WOMAN CANNOT MARRY UNTIL SHE HAS RESTORED HERSELF BY THREE MENSTRUAL PERIODS."

He said, "IF SHE DOUBTS HER PERIODS, SHE DOES NOT MARRY UNTIL SHE HAS FREED HERSELF OF THAT DOUBT."

A woman who is raped MUST PROVE THIS FACT to avoid lashing?

She cannot marry until she is sure she is not pregnant - even if her prospective spouse would marry her anyway?

What about "victim’s rights"?

Abu Dawud, Book 15, Number 2828:

Narrated Umm Kurz al-Ka'biyyah:

I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say: TWO RESEMBLING SHEEP ARE TO BE SACRIFICED FOR A BOY AND ONE FOR A GIRL.

AbuDawud said: I heard Ahmad (ibn Hanbal) say: The Arabic word mukafi'atani means equal (in age) or resembling each other.

Abu Dawud, Book 15, Number 2829:

Narrated Umm Kurz:

I heard the Prophet (nay peace be upon him) say: Let the birds stay in their roosts. She said: I also heard him say: TWO SHEEP ARE TO BE SACRIFICED FOR A BOY AND ONE FOR A GIRL, but it does you no harm whether they are male or female.

Abu Dawud, Book 15, Number 2830:

Narrated Umm Kurz:

The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: TWO SHEEP WHICH RESEMBLE EACH OTHER ARE TO BE SACRIFICED FOR A BOY AND ONE FOR A GIRL.

Abu Dawud, Book 15, Number 2831:

Narrated Samurah ibn Jundub:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: A boy is in pledge for his Aqiqah. SACRIFICE IS MADE FOR HIM ON THE SEVENTH DAY, HIS HEAD IS SHAVED AND IS SMEARED WITH BLOOD.

When Qatadah was asked about smearing with blood, how that should be done, he said: WHEN YOU CUT THE HEAD (I.E. THROAT) OF THE ANIMAL (MEANT FOR AQIQAH), YOU MAY TAKE A FEW HAIR OF IT, PLACE THEM ON ITS VEINS, AND THEN PLACE THEM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HEAD OF THE INFANT, SO THAT THE BLOOD FLOWS ON THE HAIR (OF THE INFANT) LIKE A THREAT. THEN ITS HEAD MAY BE WASHED AND SHAVED OFF.

Narrated Samurah ibn Jundub:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: A boy is in pledge for his Aqiqah, SACRIFICE IS MADE FOR HIM ON THE SEVENTH DAY, HIS HEAD IS SHAVED and he is given name.

Abu Dawud, Book 15, Number 2837:

Narrated Buraydah ibn al-Hasib:

When a boy was born to one of us in the pre-Islamic period, we sacrificed a sheep and smeared his head with its blood; but WHEN ALLAH BROUGHT ISLAM, WE SACRIFICED A SHEEP, SHAVED HIS HEAD AND SMEARED HIS HEAD WITH SAFFRON.

Blood sacrifices? Shaving the baby’s head? Smearing the baby with blood or saffron?

Where does the Quran command any of these practices? What was the source of this innovation?

Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 86, Number 94:

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:

A man mentioned to the Prophet that he had always been cheated in bargains. THE PROPHET SAID, "WHENEVER YOU DO BARGAIN, SAY, 'NO CHEATING.'

Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 86, Number 98:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "A virgin should not be married till she is asked for her consent; and the matron should not be married till she is asked whether she agrees to marry or not." It was asked, "O Allah's Apostle! How will she(the virgin) express her consent?" He said, "By keeping silent." Some people said, "IF A VIRGIN IS NOT ASKED FOR HER CONSENT AND SHE IS NOT MARRIED, AND THEN A MAN, BY PLAYING A TRICK PRESENTS TWO FALSE WITNESSES THAT HE HAS MARRIED HER WITH HER CONSENT AND THE JUDGE CONFIRMS HIS MARRIAGE AS A TRUE ONE, AND THE HUSBAND KNOWS THAT THE WITNESSES WERE FALSE ONES, THEN THERE IS NO HARM FOR HIM TO CONSUMMATE HIS MARRIAGE WITH HER AND THE MARRIAGE IS REGARDED AS VALID."

Bukhari, Book 58, Number 199:

Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman:

"I asked Masruq, 'Who informed the Prophet about the Jinns at the night when they heard the Qur'an?' He said, 'Your father 'Abdullah informed me that A TREE INFORMED THE PROPHET ABOUT THEM.' "

Salman said that (one among) the polytheists remarked: I SEE THAT YOUR FRIEND EVEN TEACHES YOU ABOUT THE EXCREMENT. He replied; YES, HE HAS IN FACT FORBIDDEN US THAT ANYONE AMONGST US SHOULD CLEANSE HIMSELF WITH HIS RIGHT HAND, OR FACE THE QIBLA. HE HAS FORBIDDEN THE USE OF DUNG OR BONE FOR IT, AND HE HAS ALSO INSTRUCTED US NOT TO USE LESS THAN THREE PEBBLES (FOR THIS PURPOSE).

Narrated Abdullah Ibn Abbas:

A BLIND MAN HAD A SLAVE-MOTHER WHO USED TO ABUSE THE PROPHET (PEACE_BE_UPON_HIM) AND DISPARAGE HIM. HE FORBADE HER BUT SHE DID NOT STOP. HE REBUKED HER BUT SHE DID NOT GIVE UP HER HABIT. ONE NIGHT SHE BEGAN TO SLANDER THE PROPHET (PEACE_BE_UPON_HIM) AND ABUSE HIM. SO HE TOOK A DAGGER, PLACED IT ON HER BELLY, PRESSED IT, AND KILLED HER. A child who came between her legs was smeared with the blood that was there. When the morning came, the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) was informed about it.

He assembled the people and said: I adjure by Allah the man who has done this action and I adjure him by my right to him that he should stand up. Jumping over the necks of the people and trembling the man stood up.

He sat before the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and said: Apostle of Allah! I am her master; she used to abuse you and disparage you. I forbade her, but she did not stop, and I rebuked her, but she did not abandon her habit. I have two sons like pearls from her, and she was my companion. LAST NIGHT SHE BEGAN TO ABUSE AND DISPARAGE YOU. SO I TOOK A DAGGER, PUT IT ON HER BELLY AND PRESSED IT TILL I KILLED HER.

Thereupon the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: OH BE WITNESS, NO RETALIATION IS PAYABLE FOR HER BLOOD.

Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib:

A JEWESS USED TO ABUSE THE PROPHET (PEACE_BE_UPON_HIM) AND DISPARAGE HIM. A MAN STRANGLED HER TILL SHE DIED. THE APOSTLE OF ALLAH (PEACE_BE_UPON_HIM) DECLARED THAT NO RECOMPENSE WAS PAYABLE FOR HER BLOOD.

That’s the effect of the following hadith fictions which forbid nude bathing in public places !

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:

The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) FORBADE TO ENTER THE HOT BATHS. HE THEN PERMITTED MEN TO ENTER THEM IN LOWER GARMENTS.

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:

AbulMalih said: Some women of Syria came to Aisha. She asked them: From whom are you? They replied: From the people of Syria. She said: Perhaps you belong to the place where women enter hot baths (for washing ). The said: Yes. She said: I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say: IF A WOMAN PUTS OFF HER CLOTHES IN A PLACE OTHER THAN HER HOUSE, SHE TEARS THE VEIL BETWEEN HER AND ALLAH, THE EXALTED.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: After some time the lands of the non-Arabs will be conquered for you, and there you will find houses called hammamat (hot baths). SO MEN SHOULD NOT ENTER THEM (TO WASH) EXCEPT IN LOWER GARMENTS, AND FORBID THE WOMEN TO ENTER THEM except a sick or one who is in a child-bed.

Narrated Ya'la:

THE APOSTLE OF ALLAH (PEACE_BE_UPON_HIM) SAW A MAN WASHING IN A PUBLIC PLACE WITHOUT A LOWER GARMENT. So he mounted the pulpit, praised and extolled Allah and said: Allah is characterised by modesty and concealment. SO WHEN ANY OF YOU WASHES, HE SHOULD CONCEAL HIMSELF.

Narrated Mu'awiyah ibn Haydah:

I said: APOSTLE OF ALLAH, FROM WHOM SHOULD WE CONCEAL OUR PRIVATE PARTS AND TO WHOM CAN WE SHOW? HE REPLIED: CONCEAL YOUR PRIVATE PARTS EXCEPT FROM YOUR WIFE AND FROM WHOM YOUR RIGHT HANDS POSSESS (SLAVE-GIRLS).

I then asked: Apostle of Allah, (what should we do), if the people are assembled together?

He replied: If it is within your power that no one looks at it, then no one should look at it.

I then asked: Apostle of Allah if one of us is alone, (what should he do)?

He replied: Allah is more entitled than people that bashfulness should be shown to him.

So if you work out - plan to stink until you get home!

"Yes," according to Abu Dawud!

Narrated Jarhad:

The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) sat with us and my thigh was uncovered. HE SAID: DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT THIGH IS A PRIVATE PART.

Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: DO NOT UNCOVER YOU THIGH, AND DO NOT LOOK AT THE THIGH OF THE LIVING AND THE DEAD.

So no gym shorts!

And any bathing suit must reach the knees!

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Dinar from Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A PERSON WHO DRAGS HIS GARMENT IN ARROGANCE WILL NOT BE LOOKED AT BY ALLAH ON THE DAY OF RISING."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "ON THE DAY OF RISING, ALLAH THE BLESSED, THE EXALTED, WILL NOT LOOK AT A PERSON WHO DRAGS HIS LOWER GARMENT IN ARROGANCE."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi and Abdullah ibn Dinar and Zayd ibn Aslam that all of them informed him from Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "ON THE DAY OF RISING, ALLAH WILL NOT LOOK AT A PERSON WHO DRAGS HIS GARMENT IN ARROGANCE."

Yahya related to me from Malik from al Ala ibn Abd ar-Rahman that his father said, "I asked Abu Said al-Khudri about the lower garment. He said that he would inform me with knowledge and that he had heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'THE LOWER GARMENT OF THE MUMIN SHOULD REACH TO THE MIDDLE OF HIS CALVES. THERE IS NO HARM IN WHAT IS BETWEEN THAT AND THE ANKLES. WHAT IS LOWER THAN THAT IS IN THE FIRE. WHAT IS LOWER THAN THAT IS IN THE FIRE. ON THE DAY OF RISING, ALLAH WILL NOT LOOK AT A PERSON WHO TRAILS HIS LOWER GARMENT IN ARROGANCE.' "

Narrated Ash-Sha'bi:

Abu Juhaifa said, "I asked Ali, 'Have you got any book (which has been revealed to the Prophet apart from the Qur'an)?' 'Ali replied, 'No, except Allah's Book or the power of understanding which has been bestowed (by Allah) upon a Muslim or what is (written) in this sheet of paper (with me).' Abu Juhaifa said, "I asked, 'What is (written) in this sheet of paper?' Ali replied, it deals with The Diyya (compensation (blood money) paid by the killer to the relatives of the victim), the ransom for the releasing of the captives from the hands of the enemies, and THE LAW THAT NO MUSLIM SHOULD BE KILLED IN QISAS (EQUALITY IN PUNISHMENT) FOR THE KILLING OF (A DISBELIEVER).

So capital punishment is permitted ONLY for killing a Muslim? All human life is not equally

sacrosanct?

Where did this foolishness come from? It isn’t in the Quran!

This hadith fable is really laughable!

Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 21, Number 245:

Narrated 'Abdullah :

Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 41, Number 601:

Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab:

I heard Hisham bin Hakim bin Hizam reciting Surat-al-Furqan in a way different to that of mine. Allah's Apostle had taught it to me (in a different way). So, I was about to quarrel with him (during the prayer) but I waited till he finished, then I tied his garment round his neck and seized him by it and brought him to Allah's Apostle and said, "I have heard him reciting Surat-al-Furqan in a way different to the way you taught it to me." The Prophet ordered me to release him and asked Hisham to recite it. When he recited it, Allah s Apostle said, "It was revealed in this way." He then asked me to recite it. When I recited it, he said, "It was revealed in this way. THE QUR'AN HAS BEEN REVEALED IN SEVEN DIFFERENT WAYS, SO RECITE IT IN THE WAY THAT IS EASIER FOR YOU."

What does this fairy tale even mean? That seven different versions of the Quran were revealed?

No wonder the critics of Islam have so much fun with this particular fable.

SPEED-READING OF THE QURAN IS ILLEGAL?

Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 31, Number 199:

Narrated Mujahid from 'Abdullah bin 'Amr:

The Prophet said (to 'Abdullah), "Fast three days a month." 'Abdullah said, (to the Prophet) "I am able to fast more than that." They kept on arguing on this matter till the Prophet said, "Fast on alternate days, and recite the whole Qur'an once a month." 'Abdullah said, "I can recite more (in a month)," and the argument went on till the Prophet said, "RECITE THE QUR'AN ONCE EACH THREE DAYS." (I.E. YOU MUST NOT RECITE THE WHOLE QUR'AN IN LESS THAN THREE DAYS).

Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 31, Number 199:

Narrated Mujahid from 'Abdullah bin 'Amr:

The Prophet said (to 'Abdullah), "Fast three days a month." 'Abdullah said, (to the Prophet) "I am able to fast more than that." They kept on arguing on this matter till the Prophet said, "Fast on alternate days, and recite the whole Qur'an once a month." 'Abdullah said, "I can recite more (in a month)," and the argument went on till the Prophet said, "RECITE THE QUR'AN ONCE EACH THREE DAYS." (I.E. YOU MUST NOT RECITE THE WHOLE QUR'AN IN LESS THAN THREE DAYS).

So the Prophet (pbuh) disapproved speed-reading?

Narrated Zayd ibn Khalid:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: DO NOT CURSE THE COCK, FOR IT AWAKENS FOR PRAYER.

Yeah, right. How many rakats does the rooster do?

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: WHEN YOU HEAR THE BARKING OF DOGS AND THE BRAYING OF ASSES AT NIGHT, SEEK REFUGE IN ALLAH, FOR THEY SEE WHICH YOU DO NOT SEE.

Narrated Ali ibn Umar ibn Husayn ibn Ali:

The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) as saying: DO NOT GO OUT MUCH WHEN THERE ARE FEW PEOPLE ABOUT , FOR ALLAH THE EXALTED SCATTERS ABROAD OF HIS BEASTS IN THAT HOUR (according to Ibn Marwan's version).

Ibn Marwan's version has: For Allah has creatures. HE THEN MENTIONED THE BARKING OF DOGS AND BRAYING OF ASSES IN A SIMILAR MANNER. He added in his version: Ibn al-Had said: Shurahbil ibn al-Hajib told me on the authority of Jabir ibn Abdullah from the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) similar to it.

So let me get this straight: The animals see forces human beings cannot see - maybe even Allah himself - at night?

According to Bukhari, "YES"!

Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 34, Number 299:

Narrated 'Aun bin Abu Juhaifa:

My father bought a slave who practiced the profession of cupping. (My father broke the slave's instruments of cupping). I asked my father why he had done so. He replied, "THE PROPHET FORBADE THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE PRICE OF A DOG or blood, and also forbade the profession of tattooing, getting tattooed and receiving or giving Riba, (usury), and cursed the picture-makers."

Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 34, Number 439:

Narrated Abu Mas'ud Al-Ansari:

ALLAH'S APOSTLE FORBADE TAKING THE PRICE OF A DOG, money earned by prostitution and the earnings of a soothsayer.

Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 34, Number 440:

Narrated Aun bin Abu Juhaifa:

I saw my father buying a slave whose profession was cupping, and ordered that his instruments (of cupping) be broken. I asked him the reason for doing so. He replied, "ALLAH'S APOSTLE PROHIBITED TAKING MONEY FOR blood, THE PRICE OF A DOG, and the earnings of a slave-girl by prostitution; he cursed her who tattoos and her who gets tattooed, the eater of Riba (usury), and the maker of pictures."

Bukhari , Volume 3, Book 36, Number 482:

Narrated Abu Masud Al-Ansari:

ALLAH'S APOSTLE REGARDED ILLEGAL THE PRICE OF A DOG, the earnings of a prostitute, and the charges taken by a soothsayer.

So let me get this straight - even dogs for hunting or security (which are allowed even according to most hadith myths) cannot be sold by Muslims"

So the Christians and Jews get a monopoly on selling dogs?

And a Muslims who owns a pedigreed dog cannot bred it for money?

These fantasies have no basis in the Quran!

According to hadith mythology, a Muslim farmer cannot protect himself or herself against risk of crop failure by pre-sale of the crop, and a property owner cannot rent out agricultural land!

Jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) reported that ALLAH'S MESSENGER (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) FORBADE MUKHABARA AND MUHAQALA, AND MUZABANA, AND THE SALE OF THE FRUIT UNTIL IT IS FIT FOR EATING, and its sale but with dirham and dinar. Exception is made in case of 'araya. Ata' said: Jabir explained (these terms) for us. As for Mukhabara it is this that a wasteland is given by a person to another and he makes an investment in it and then gets a share in the produce. According to him (Jabir), Muzabana is the sell of fresh dates on the tree for dry dates with a measure, and Muhaqala in agriculture implies that one should sell the standing crop for grains with a measure.

Jabir b. Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) reported ALLAH'S MESSENGER (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) FORBIDDING Muzabana and Muhaqala, and Mukhabara, and THE SALE OF FRUITS UNTIL THEY ARE RIPE. I (the narrator) said to Sa'id (the other narrator): What does ripening imply? He said: It meant that they become red or become yellow and are fit for eating.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik:

THE PROPHET (PEACE_BE_UPON_HIM) FORBADE THE SALE OF GRAPES TILL THEY BECAME BLACK AND THE SALE OF GRAIN TILL IT HAD BECOME HARD.

Jabir b. Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) reported that ALLAH'S MESSENGER (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) FORBADE LEASING OF LAND, AND SELLING AHEAD FOR YEARS AND SELLING OF FRUITS BEFORE THEY BECOME RIPE.

Jabir b. Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) reported ALLAH'S MESSENGER (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) HAVING FORBIDDEN THE RENTING OF LAND.

Jabir b. Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) reported ALLAH'S MESSENGER (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) HAVING FORBIDDEN TAKING OF RENT OR SHARE OF LAND.

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) reported ALLAH'S MESSENGER (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) HAVING FORBIDDEN MAZABANA AND MUHAQALA. MUZIBANA MEANS THE BUYING OF FRUITS ON THE TREES AND MUHAQALA IS THE RENTING OF LAND.

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:

THE PROPHET (PEACE_BE_UPON_HIM) FORBADE THE SALE OF FRUITS TILL THEY WERE CLEARLY IN GOOD CONDITION , and (ordered that) they should not be sold but for dinar or dirham except Araya.

MUSLIMS CANNOT INHERIT FROM NON-MUSLIMS?

"Yes," that’s what Muslim and Malik say!

Usama b. Zaid reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: A MUSLIM IS NOT ENTITLED TO INHERIT FROM A NON-MUSLIM, and a non-Muslim is not entitled to inherit from a Muslim.

Malik, Book 27, Number 27.12.10:

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Ali ibn Husayn ibn Ali from Umar ibn Uthman ibn Affan from Usama ibn Zayd that THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH, MAY ALLAH BLESS HIM AND GRANT HIM PEACE, SAID, "A MUSLIM DOES NOT INHERIT FROM A KAFIR."

Malik, Book 27, Number 27.12.12:

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Sulayman ibn Yasar that MUHAMMAD IBN AL-ASHATH TOLD HIM THAT HE HAD A CHRISTIAN OR JEWISH PATERNAL AUNT WHO DIED. MUHAMMAD IBN AL-ASHATH MENTIONED THAT TO UMAR IBN AL-KHATTAB AND SAID TO HIM, "WHO INHERITS FROM HER?" UMAR IBN AL-KHATTAB SAID TO HIM, "THE PEOPLE OF HER DEEN INHERIT FROM HER." Then he went to Uthman ibn Affan, and asked him about that. Uthman said to him, "Do you think that I have forgotten what Umar ibn al-Khattab said to you? The people of her deen inherit from her."

Malik, Book 27, Number 27.12.14:

Yahya related to me from Malik from a reliable source of his who had heard Said ibn al-Musayyab say, ''Umar ibn al-Khattab refused to let anyone inherit from the non-arabs except for one who was born among the arabs."

Malik said, "If a pregnant woman comes from the land of the enemy and gives birth in arab land so that he is her (an arab) child, he inherits from her if she dies, and she inherits from him if he dies, by the Book of Allah."

Malik said, "The generally agreed on way of doing things among us and the sunna in which there is no dispute, and what I saw the people of knowledge in our city doing, is that A MUSLIM DOES NOT INHERIT FROM A KAFIR BY KINSHIP, CLIENTAGE (WALA'), OR MATERNAL RELATIONSHIP, nor does he (the Muslim) overshadow any (of the kafirs) from his inheritance.

Malik said, "Similarly, someone who forgoes his inheritance when he is the chief heir does not overshadow anyone from his inheritance."

So if a Muslim has a rich uncle who is a non-Muslim, the Muslim is required to REFUSE any inheritance?

What planet were these hadith-compilers living on!

GAY MALES WHO HAVE CONSENSUAL SEX SHOULD BE KILLED?

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: IF YOU FIND ANYONE DOING AS LOT'S PEOPLE DID, KILL THE ONE WHO DOES IT, AND THE ONE TO WHOM IT IS DONE.

[The story of Lot is about attempted MALE RAPE. The men of Sodom wanted to FORCE the

two angels to have sex with them. Quran 11:77-81; 15:61-71; 29:28-34. In a rape case, why would you stone THE VICTIM?]

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:

IF A MAN WHO IS NOT MARRIED IS SEIZED COMMITTING SODOMY, HE WILL BE STONED TO DEATH.

Malik, Book 41, Number 41.1.11:

. . .

Malik related to me that HE ASKED IBN SHIHAB ABOUT SOMEONE WHO COMMITTED SODOMY. IBN SHIHAB SAID, "HE IS TO BE STONED, WHETHER OR NOT HE IS MUHSAN."

These false ahadith find no basis in the Quran. Even in the case of illicit heterosexual rendezvous, the Quran does NOT provide for stoning as a punishment. Quran 24:2-3.

Compare:

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: IF ANYONE HAS SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH AN ANIMAL, KILL HIM AND KILL IT ALONG WITH HIM. I (Ikrimah) said: I asked him (Ibn Abbas): What offence can be attributed to the animal/ He replied: I think he (the Prophet) disapproved of its flesh being eaten when such a thing had been done to it.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:

Death penalty vs. no penalty is more than a little difference!

Which of these "infallible" ahadith is right?
