an AUTHENTI C HADI TH

About Abu-HurayraMany Muslims and non-Muslims who study Islam are overwhelmed by the number of Ahadiths narrated by or attributed to Abu Hurayra. The corruption that entered intraditional Islam came through many false hadiths. Thousands of these hadiths werenarrated by Abu Hurayra. Next to QURAN, the word of God, Abu Hurayra is the secondsource for many religious matters for traditional Mullas/Muslims.

Who is Abu Hurayra any way ?

Islamic history books have enough about him to support the commandment in the Quranto accept no hadiths but the Quran. See Quran 7:185, 45:6, 77:50, 39:23, 50:45......etc.

Abu Hurayra, came from Yemen in the seventh year of Hijra and converted to Islam.He stayed in the company of the Prophet Muhammed less than two years

He narrated more than 5000 hadiths, about 5374 hadiths, from this two years company,(Compare this with the few hadiths narrated by Aisha, Abu Baker, or Omar after verylong company of the prophet) .

" Taken from a book entitled Hadith Literature: It's Origin, Development, &Special Features by Muhammed Zubayr Siddiqui:

1. Abu Hurayra narrated 5374 hadiths

4. 'Aisha Umm al-Mu'minin, 2210 hadiths

10. Umar Ibn al-Khattab, 537 hadiths


2/4

11. Ali Ibn Abi Talib, 536 hadiths

31. Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, 142 hadiths

First number indicates rank among all of those who narrated hadiths,...second number

indicates number of Ahadith given.

Compare the numbers of Hadiths given by Abu Baker RA by that of Abu Hurayra whilekeeping in mind that Abu Baker accompanied our beloved Prophet for about 23 years,while Abu Hurayra accompanied the Prophet for less than 2 years. 142 hadiths for 5374hadiths.

Most of Abu Hurayra's narrated hadiths are called the "Aahad" hadiths, i.e. hadiths onlywitnessed by one person, this one person was Abu Hurayra himself. ( where is the rule of two witnesses for the truth, disregarded for the sake of Abu Hurayra).

Some of the Prophets companions (Sahaba) accused him of being a liar, telling lies aboutthe prophet just to make up more hadiths and gain some status. Omar Ibn Al-Khattab, thesecond guided Khalifa threatened Abu Hurayra to send him to exile if he does not stoptelling hadiths about Muhammed, he did stop until Omar's assassination then startedagain.

He kept telling hadiths to please the Khalifa of the Muslims then, all the time, includingthe time he lived in the royal palace of Muawaya in Syria. Abu Hurayra told his audiencethat he is telling them hadiths that if he ever mentioned when Omar was alive, he wouldbe given several lashes.

Abu Jaafar Al Iskafy mentioned that the Khalifa, Muawaya, chose some of the people,including Abu Hurayra to tell fabricated stories and hadiths about Ali Ibn Abu Talib, theProphet's cousin, to degrade him. Abu Hurayra lived in Mu'aawiyah's royal palace thenand served him including serving his political views. He produced some of the hadithsthat demean Ali, insult him and at least make him in a lower grade to Abu Baker, Omarand Othman, only for the pleasure of Mu'aawiyah. Abu Hurayra's stomach was moreimportant than the trtuh, then.

During Mu'aawiyah's rule, many hadiths, with the help of Abu Hurayra were inventedthat support the view that the Imam or Khalifa, should be obeyed just like God or themessenger. Contradicting the rule of the Quran that all the matters should be democratic

by consultation.(Do not forget that Abu Hurayra was living in the Khalifa's royal palaceat the time.)

Many of the hadiths that were narrated by Abu Hurayra contradict other hadiths,including his own narrated hadiths and other people's hadiths and contradict the Quranand contradict common sense.


3/4

Abu Hurayra narrated hadiths after Kaab Al Ahbar, who was a Jewish convert who triedto explain the Quran by using the corrupted books of the Jews. He produced some of themost outrageous hadiths that is full of contradiction to the Quran, taken from false storiesin the Torah.

The Islamic historians told the story of Abu Hurayra after given the governorship of Bahrain by Omar, got very rich in two years, so Omar called him back and told him"You, the enemy of Allah, you stole the money of Allah . I made you the Emir(Governor) of Bahrain when you did not even have a pair of shoes, Where did you get allthis money (400,000 Dirham)?? " The history indicates that Omar took 10,000 Dirhamfrom him.(Abu Huraura admitted for only 20,000 Dirham)

Abu Hurayra was the one accused most of fabricating hadiths. Aisha RA, theProphet's wife always accused him of telling inaccurate or incompletestories and of fabricating hadiths that she never heard the prophetsaying them.

A conversation between AISHA RA AND ABU HURAYRA ;

In the famous book "Taa'oueel Mukhtalaf Alhadith " by Ibn Qutaiba Al-Dinory, the storyof Aisha RA(the Prophet's wife) telling Abu Hurayra; " You tell ahadiths about theprophet Muhammed that we never heard them from him"

He answered (as Bukhary reported); "You (Aisha) were busy with your mirror and makeup" She (Aisha) answered him; "It is you who were busy with your stomach and hunger.Your hunger kept you busy, you were running after the people in the allies, begging them

for food, and they used to avoid you and get away from your way, and finally you wouldcome back and pass out in front of my room and the people think you were crazy and stepall over you."

If we apply the supposedly rigid criteria ofMuhaddaseen (Expert Scholars of Hadiths) used to selectthose who narrated hadiths, Abu Hurayra will bethe first one to fail the test and his hadiths willbe the first to be counted among thefabrications .

So my wise Muslim brothers and sisters :


4/4

Take just help from Hadiths and never twist the verses of nobleQuran in order to reconcile them with the Hadith about which youare not sure if is authentic or unauthentic;

IN PARTICULAR, you MUST be very careful when the name ofAbu-Hurayra appears in any hadith. Many hypocrites had also

launched many Hadiths in the name of Abu Hurayra .

Keep in mind that any book exceptGlorious Quran may have some forgeryinside. Glorious Quran is only the book

that is protected by Allah Almighty.
