Status Of The Report On The Barking Of The Dogs Of حوأب At Ayesha
Thank you so much for replying, Ali Bhai! 1) We agree on the fact that she can make a mistake. No one is معصوم عن الخطأ. 2) What new thing did she do? 3 ) I don’t really take such prophecies ascribed to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to be true. Just ponder over this prophecy and you will see that it raises important questions: i ) Why didn’t the Prophet address this issue if he knew about it? Are we claiming that he knew about it but let such bloodshed happen? Don’t say he did not know about it because these reports point somewhere else. ii) The first Hadith says احداكن, one of the wives, but in the second one, the Prophet clearly tells Ali about Ayesha. Why didn’t Ali resolve the matter right there and then? Why didn’t they discuss it? iii) What was the point of this prophecy, anyway? No one among the companions of the Prophet needed such a prophecy to be rest assured that Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم is indeed the messenger of Allah. So, what’s the point if it was just to be left aside even though the event would prove so significant? 4) You say she wanted to turn back. But she didn’t in the end. The barking of dogs is an abort sign when the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم mentions it. Just think about it. Why would the Prophet mention this event if not to point to a mistake which is going to be made by someone. 5) You say the argument from Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim’s Sahihain is not an argument. Fine. 6) A report’s being present in Bukhari or Muslim is not an argument that it is true. They find something against the Quran, Sunnah or reason and say that this report is محل نظر. What else are they supposed to do?
السلام علیکم I thought I’d share this. This Hadith is not Sahih: https://youtu.be/QnnEY5eqVR0
