Reality Of Stories In Hadith
Ahadith are not mentioned in the Quran. They are reported sayings and actions of the prophet. The cited hadith is present in the authentic books of hadith, however it is correct or not, depends upon many factors. It might be a matter of a dream shown to the prophet or a misreporting by Abu Huraira who sometimes ascribed the Israelite stories to the prophet. However, the accusation of inventing false stories by him is not true.
