Reality Of Stories In Hadith
Wa Alaikum Assalam Shahzaib, This story (hadith) is clearly fabricated and goes against the teachings of the Qur’an. When you were asked to investigate, your investigation stopped at “Sahih Bukhari”, but that’s exactly where your investigation should start from. Let me explain. First, Not all “Sahih” hadith are 100% accurate. Secondly, even if we assume the chain of narration is 100% accurate, (i.e. Sahih), we still need to scrutinise the source! e.g. Abu Huraira already is a red flag when it comes to hadiths. A massive number of his hadiths are problematic (many goes against the Qur’an, many degrade women, a few even defame/insult/mock our Prophets, etc.) Abu Huraira is known for inventing false stories and directing them to Nabi (saw), i.e. narrating fabrications. For example, Abu Huraira narrated in Sahih Bukhari #5355 a whole hadith, a disgraceful one, and when asked “Did you hear that from Allah’s messenger?, Abu Huraira replied “No, it is from my own self” !! Another instance in Sahih Muslim (#2493) where Abu Huraira was narrating a hadith while Aisha (ra) was praying, at the end when Aisha (ra) finished he was gone, she claimed I wish he was here so I could confront him because “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) did not narrate the hadith as you narrate it”. ! There are other instances where Abu Huraira was confronted by other Sahaba on transmitting false hadiths. Worst part is when they translate this critical parts of hadiths, they twist the meaning to not raise alarms. Always check the source and never rely on the tricks of Sunni scholars. (Sorry not trying to be disrespectful, but truth needs to be exposed). Now my question to you Shahzaib is.. those are a few instances where Abu Huraira was caught with his lies, that’s because he was confronted or heard by someone who could verify – What about the thousands of ahadith where no one re-confirmed “Hey Abu Huraira is this really from the Prophet?” … My best bet is that the hadith you quoted is yet another invention. Bottom line is, the “Sahih Sanad” (even if accurate) doesn’t automatically make a hadith authentic. Just wanted to share my understandings. I hope this helps
The previous devine books are too a source of knowledge when they coincide or doesn’t contradict Qur’an. Qur’an itself asks the people of book to establish and follow their books see sure Nisa and Maida. Qur’an refers to them for details at some occasions. These books are the books of Islam. These are Torah and injeel. The bible is the collection of many books in addition to Torah and injeel and Zabur. Also there is Talmud. Which contain unauthentic information too. It is not necessary to discard these have to accepted in the light of Qur’an. Secondly the prophet used to receive news like that of the signs of the doomsday from God through Jibrael and in his dreams. This information is not mentioned in the Qur’an.
