Nature Of Hadith (View Of Ghamidi Sahab)
The following statement does not represent the view point of Ghamidi Sahab completely: “ حدیث نبوی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے دور کا تاریخی ریکارڈ ہے جو ہم تک” بدرجہ اتم باوثوق ذرائع سے نہیں پہنچا ہے۔ “لہذا دین میں نہ تو حدیث کوئی اضافہ کر سکتی ہے اور نہ ہی تنکے کے برابر دین میں کوئی کمی حدیث کر سکتی ہے “ __ It is true that the mode of transmission of Hadith literature is through secondary means of transmission i.e. Akhabr-e-Ahad or Zanni ilm , but this is not the sole reason why Ghamidi Sahab concludes that it neither adds anything to the religion nor removes anything from it. Ghamidi Sahab’s conclusion is based on the following two factors: 1 ). The fact that no formal arrangement was made by the Prophet (SWS) for collection and transmission of Hadith. Ghamidi Sahab writes: “ Narratives which record the words, deeds or tacit approvals of the Prophet (sws) generally called Hadith cannot add anything to the beliefs and practices of religion. This is because it is an irrefutable reality about these narratives that the Prophet (sws) never made any arrangement for their dissemination or preservation; it was left to the discretion of the viewers and listeners whether to communicate them or not “ … 2 ). A fter studying the whole of Hadith Corpus, it becomes evident that the content available in it is either an explanation and elucidation of the religion which is confined in the Quran and Sunnah and also describes the exemplary way in which the Prophet (sws) followed this religion . That is why nothing mentioned in Hadith Corpus within ambit of religion contains any independent directives. Ghamidi Sahab also writes: “ Within this sphere, however, every person who after being convinced of a Hadith accepts it as one containing the words, deeds or tacit approvals of the Prophet (sws) must follow it. In no circumstances can he evade or ignore it; in fact, it becomes incumbent upon him to accept any directive or decision of the Prophet (sws) found in that Hadith . “ Please refer to the following response/thread and the videos of Ghamidi Sahab provided therein for further details : Discussion 87231 • Reply 87305 Discussion 83915
“Hadith is a part of Deen once it is considered as Sahih and must be accepted.” I’m very eager to see an example of such a Hadith which you consider part of Deen. Can you cite an example?
