To understand Ghamidi Sahab’s take on how to approach hadith corpus from an epistemological stand-point, you’re requested to please go through all the resources provided in the following response or at the very least, go through the text and videos provided under the heading “ placement of Hadith in the overall framework of religion “: Discussion 66135 • Reply 66162 The problem with such ahadith is that they lack their pretext and context and are an understanding of the narrator narrating them. Therefore, no permanent injunctions are to be extracted from Ahadith, instead they are application of injunctions available in Quran and Sunnah. Secondly , There is a lot of debate on this specific narration, as to what was the actual context of this narration? why didn’t Prophet Muhammad (sws) use the word obigatory in explicit terms? and whether it was an actual saying of the Prophet ( Marfu ) or was it only saying of Sahabi Abu Huraira (rta) ( Mawquf ). Hafiz Ibn-e-Hajr Asqlani writes: أخرجه بن مَاجَهْ وَأَحْمَدُ وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ لَكِنِ اخْتُلِفَ فِي رَفْعِهِ وَوَقْفِهِ وَالْمَوْقُوفُ أَشْبَهُ بِالصَّوَابِ قَالَهُ الطَّحَاوِيُّ وَغَيْرُهُ وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ فَلَيْسَ صَرِيحًا فِي الْإِيجَابِ “ It was narrated by Ibn-e-Maja and Ahmad, and its men are siqqa, but there is a difference of opinion as to whether it is marfu or mawquf. The view that it is mawquf is more likely to be correct. This was stated by at-Tahhawi and others. Moreover, it does not clearly state that (offering the sacrifice) is obligatory .” ( Fath al-Bari 10/3 : https://al-maktaba.org/book/1673/5643 )
