Inshallah i will post some Important points about Jarh o Tadeel which will help us to understand
this knowledge in a better way !
Students of this field 1st of all including me. Please make notes of these points and inshallah this
will help you a lot.
1. Har wo Sahakhs jis k Sahaabi hony main Ikhtilaaf hay wo kam say kam THIQAH TABI'I zuroor
hay.
Hafz Ibn e Hajr Asqalani Taqreeb At Tahdheeb main
نيار بن مكرم السلمي
k bary main likhty huay farmaty hain
وذكره بن حبان في الصحابة وفي ثقات التابعين أيضا وهذه عادته فيمن اختلف في صحبته
Aur Ibn e Hibban nain Inka Zikar Sahaba Ikraam main bhi kiya hay aur THIQAAT TABI'EEN main
bhi kiya hay aur yeh IBN E HIBBAN ki Adat hay us Rawi k bary main jis k Sahaabi hony par
Ikhtilaaf ho.
Agar aisey Raawi jinke sahabi hone par iqtelaf ho,wo agar Huzoor alaihi salam se direct riwayat
karein to Is Riwayat ka kya hukm hoga ?
I mean Mursal ya Marfu ?
Ab Ikhtilaf kis Qisam ka hay !
Agr Majority is Taraf gai hay k yeh Sahabi hi hain to Hadith ko Marfu mana jaay ga... !
In case Agr Sab kahain k yeh Sahabi nahi hain. Tabi' hain.. To Yaqeenan yeh Bary Tabi'i hain.. !
Aur Bary Tabieen ki Hadith k bary main Hafiz Zahabi farmaty hain
Al Mauqazah-Imam Zahabi...
يصقبحله،س به
فهو حمرصسلَ جييد ل بأ ص. والشعبي، وإبراهيم، كمراسيلَ مجاهد،صجح السناحد إلى تابعيي متويسط الطبقة
وإن ص
قومم وصيحردده آصخرون
Aur Agr Mursal Sahih Al Asnaad ho Tabi'i Mutawassit (Middle) tak. jysy k Imam Mujahid, Ibrahim
(Nakhi'i) Shu'bi Wagyra ki hain.. To wo MURSAL JAYYID HAIN... un main koi masla nahi hay.
Unko Ek Jama'at nain Qubool kiya hay aur ek Jama'at nain Qubool nahi kiya.....
Imam Zahabi k Qool say thiqah Bary Tabi'i ki Hujjat Qaaim hoti hay jysa k Ahnaaf uar Malikiyyah k
haan hay !
ibn e HIbban nain ek hi rawi ko 2 Jaghon par Bayan farmaya hay ! uski sahabiyyat par ikhtilaf hay
!
Aur Inshallah koi Raawi asa nahi hoga jis k sahabi hony par Ikhtilaaf ho... aur wo Thiqah na ho..
is liay kehty hain k jis ka Sahabai hony par Ikhtilaaf ho jaay... to maan bhi liya jaay k wo Sahabi
nahi hay... to kam say kam wo Thiqah Tabi'i Zurur hota hay !
Jarh o Tadeel
2. Kisi bhi Hadith k SAHIH hony k liay yeh Zururi nahi k uski Mutabi'at ho to tab hi Sahih hogi.
mutabi'at k bagahir bhi Hadith Sahih ho sakti hay
Aur Imam Mizzi (R) nain Imam Bukhari ka yeh Qool naqal kar k aagy Farmaya hay
فليس، أما كونه لم يتابع عليه، ول يوجب ضعفه، ما ذكره البخاري رحمه ا ل يقدح في صحة هذا الحديث:قلت
وفي الصحيح عدة أحاديث ل تعرف إل من وجه،شرطا في صحة كلَ حديث صحيح أن يكون لراوية متابع عليه
الذي أجمع أهلَ العلم على صحته وتلقيه بالقبولَ وغير ذلك،" "العمالَ بالنية: نحو حديث،واحد
Main kehta hun: Imam Bukhari (R) nain jo farmaya hay wo (Rawi ki) Hadith k bary main Nuqsan-
deh nahi hay aur isko Da'if nahi karta. beshak uski koi Mutabi'at nahi hay. Kiyun k Yeh Hadith e
Sahih ki Sharaait main say hi nahi k uski Mutabi'at maujood ho tab hi Hadith sahih ho. Aur Sahih
(Bukhari) main is tara ki kai Ahadith hain. Aur "AMAAL ka Daar o Madaa Niyyaton par hay" wali
hadith bhi isi tara ki hay magar wo sahih hay.
------------------------
To sabit hua k agr Thiqah rawi par koi aysi Jarah ho k jis main Imam kahain "Is ki Hadith ki
Mutabi'at nahi hay" to yeh Jarah hadith k liay Nuqsaan deh nahi.
Yeh wo Narration hay jo Asma Bin Al Hakam nain bayan ki... jis k bary main Aaemmah nain
Ishara kiya hay..
Asma' bin al-Hakam said: I heard Ali say: I was a man; when I heard a tradition from the
Messenger of Allah (), Allah benefited me with it as much as He willed. But when some one of his
companions narrated a tradition to me I adjured him. When he took an oath, I testified him.
AbuBakr narrated to me a tradition, and AbuBakr narrated truthfully. He said: I heard the apostle
of Allah () saying: When a servant (of Allah) commits a sin, and he performs ablution well, and
then stands and prays two rak'ahs, and asks pardon of Allah, Allah pardons him. He then recited
this verse: "And those who, when they commit indecency or wrong their souls, remember Allah"
(Al-Qur'an 3:135).
Agr its self sahih hay.. to Shawahid ki zururat nahi. shawahid k baghair hi Sahih Li-zaatihi hay... !
Sahih li Ghirihi to tab hoti hay jab hassan Ahadith ek dusry ko support karain..
but in extreme cases.. baaz loog jo Aqeeday main hamary Mukhalif hain wo is ko jarh k toor par
istimal karty hain.. to unko radd karny ka TOOL day rha hun apny bhahiyun ko...
Musnad Ahmad main bhi Jitni martaba aai hay uper say same sanad k sath aai hay
قالَ سمعت عليا، عن أسماء بن الحكم الفزاري،عن علي بن ربيعة
Sab Sanadain yahan milti hain jaa kar...
Mutabi'at means
A====B=====C
E====B=====C
3. Imam Bukhari (R) aur Imam Ibn e Abi Haatim (R) agr kisi Raawi ka zikar farma k us par Jarh
na karain to yeh unki taraf say Rawi k Thiqah hony ki Daleel hay.
احسصوليد بن اللصحاترث
k bary main ek Imam nain Kaha k Yeh Majhool hain.
To unka Radd karty huay Hafiz Ibn e Hajr nain yeh Daleel di k
Musnad Imam Ahmad ki Fanni Haysiyat aur ek Musallam Qaaida (Thumb rule)
4. Imam Ahmad Bin Hambal (R) ki Musnad Tamam Masaneed main sab say zyada Jami' hay. Yad
Rahy ! IS KITAAB MAIN KOI BHI HADITH MAUDU (fabricated/fake) NAHI HAY.
Baaz shuru k Muhadditheen nain is ki baaz Ahadith par Kalaam kar k Maudu Sabit karny ki
koshish ki hay.
Laykin Hafiz Ibn e Hajr Asqalani (R) nain ek Mukammal Risalah likha hay jis ka naam hay
القولَ المسدد في الذب عن المسند للمام أحمد
Is Risalah main jin jin ahadith par Itrazaat thy unka Mukammal Jawab day kar sabit kiya hay k
Musnad ki koi Hadith bhi Maudu nahi hay.
5. Wo Khawateen jinhoun nain Ahadith bayan ke Agr Wo Majhool hon (Yani un k Halaat k bary
main hamain khabar na ho) to rule kya hoga
Imam Zahabi (R) nain Lisan Al Mizan main chapter Qaaim kiyah hay
Imam Zahabi nain is baab main 115 khawateen ka zikar kiya hay. aur Kisi ek Par Jarh nahi ki.
6. Ek Bid'ati ki Jarah Dusry Bid'ati k Haq main Qubool nahi hoti Jysy koi Naasbi Kisi Shia par
Jarah kary. Ya koi shia Kisi Naasbi Par Jarah kary.
Aur Mutashaddid ki Jarah Ghair Mutshaddid k Haq main Qubool nahi.
Allama zahabi nain Lisan Al Mizan main Allama الجوزجانيka yeh Qool naqal kar k aagy likhty
hain
Allama Juzjaani bht zyada NAASBIYYAT ki Taraf Maail thy. aur Ismaail Bin Abi Abaan Shia Thy
(Is liay yeh Jarh Qubool nahi ki jaay gi)
Aur Isi baat main Un Logon ka bhi Radd hay jo Imam Zahabi par Naasbi hony ka Ilzaam lagaty
hain. Jab k wo Khud Nasbiyyat ko Na-Pasand kar rhy hain.
Aur Isi baat main un Logon ka Radd bhi hay jo Har Shia ko Kaafir kehty hain. K Shia ki Rawayaat
to Sahih Bukhari ma hain. To kafir say rawayat ka kya jawaaz Thehra?
7. Ahl e Bid'at main say Sab Say Asah (Sahih Tareen) Hadith Khawarij ki hoti hy aur Sab say
Kamzoor Tareen Rawayaat Shia Logon ki hain.
us k muqably main Raafzi loog jhut bolny say bhi Guraiz nahi karty thy aur Ahadith ko Ghara
karty thy. Aj bhi Rafziyun ka yehi haal hay k wo Baghair Tahqeeq k har qisam ki Maudu Rawayaat
par Yaqeen kar Layty hain Jysa k ALLAH ki Taufeeq say hum nain kuch Arsa Pehly unka jab ek
mamly main Radd kiya tha to yeh cheez samny aai thi k wo aysi Rawayaat par bhi shor machaty
hain k jis ko khud un k Jayyid Ulama Radd kar chuky hain.
Is liay kharji ki Hadith par itni Tahqeeq ki zururat nahi parti jitni Rafzi ki Hadith par Tahqeeq ki
Zururat hoti hay aur jitna is main Khatra hota hay..
8. Imam Maalik aur Un Jaysy Aaemmah Agr Kisi Rawi say Rawayat Lay lain to Yeh Us Raawi ki
Jahalat (Yani Rawi ka Majhool/Unknown hona) khatam kar dyta hay.
Abdullah Bin Abi Habeebah Al Madni (The Slave of Zubair Bin Al Awaam R.A)
عبد ا بن أبي صحتبيصبة اللمدتني مولى الزبير بن اللصعوام رضى ا صتصعاصلى صعنحه
Imam Maalik (R) aur Imam Abu Haneefah (R) nain in say Rawayat li hay. In K halaat k bary main
hamain zyada Ilm nahi hay.
Hafiz Ibn e Hajr (R) nain inka Zikar farma kar aagy likhty hian
Imam Ibn al Hazaa nain Kaha: Yeh Rawi un Rawiyun main say hay jis ko hum sirf IMAM MAALIK
ka In say Rawayat Layny ki Waja say Janty hain.
Allah ki Taufeeq say mana Muwatta Imam Maalik ki Sharuhaat check ki hain aur Is Rawi par Aur
Detail nikalny ki koshish ki hay. Magar siwaay is k k Imam Maalik (R) nain insy Rawayat ki hay
aur Imam Abu Haneefah (R) ki Musnad main in say Rawayat hay, is baat k Ilawa koi aur Ta'deel
in k bary main nahi mili. aur Kisi Imam nain in par Jarh Nahi ki.
Is Baat main ek bht bara Faida hay. wo yeh k Imam Maalik aur Un Jaysy Aaemmah Jysy Imam
Shu'bah Bin Hujjaj, Imam Abdul Rahman Bin Mahdi wagyra.. Agr Kisi Rawi say Rawayat Lay lain
to Yeh Us Raawi ki Jahalat (Yani Rawi ka Majhool/Unknown hona) khatam kar dyta hay.
Taufeeq ALLAH ki Taraf say hay.
Yahya related to me from Malik that Abdullah ibn Abi Habiba said, "I said to a man, when I was
young, 'A man who only says that he must walk to the House of Allah and does not say that he
has vowed to walk, does not have to walk.' A man said, 'Shall I give you this small cucumber?'
and he had a small cucumber in his hand and you will say, 'I must walk to the house of Allah?' I
said, 'Yes' and I said it, for at that time I was still immature. Then, when I came of age, some one
said to me that I had to fulfill my vow. I went and asked Said ibn al- Musayyab about it, and he
said to me, 'You must walk.' So I walked."
9. Imam Bukhari (R) ka Targheeb o Tarheeb, aur Fazaail k baab main Rawiyun par Tasaahul
(Yani Rawiyun par Narmi)
Sahih Bukhari

Narrated `Aisha:
Some people said, "O Allah's Messenger (SAW)! Meat is brought to us by some people and we
are not sure whether the name of Allah has been mentioned on it or not (at the time of
slaughtering the animals)." Allah's Messenger (SAW) said (to them), "Mention the name of Allah

Narrated Mujahid:
`Abdullah bin `Umar said, "Allah's Messenger (SAW) took hold of my shoulder and said, 'Be in
this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler." The sub-narrator added: Ibn `Umar used to say,
"If you survive till the evening, do not expect to be alive in the morning, and if you survive till the
morning, do not expect to be alive in the evening, and take from your health for your sickness,
and (take) from your life for your death
10. Wo rawi jis ki Authenticity par Ikhtilaf ho (yani Baazon nain Thiqah kaha ho aur Baazon nain
Weak bhi kaha hoto ) us rawi ki Hadith main bhi Hujjat hoti hay Magar wo Hujjat Muttafiq 'Alai
Hujjat jysi nahi hoti (Yani aysi Hujjat nahi hoti k jis par sab agree hon magar phir bhi Hujjat Zuroor
hoti hay)
Muhammad Bin Ishaaq Bin Yasaar Aur Dawud Bin Al Husayn Dono Bukhari o Muslim k Rawi
hain.
In Dono Rawiyun ki Hadith k hujjat hony par Ikhtillaf hay. Magar Phir bhi In ki baaz Ahadith say
Aaemmah nain Ihtijaaj kiya hay.
Aur Hafiz Ibn e Hajr (R) Fathul Bari main farmaty hain
ب تبأ صجنحهحم الحصتدجوا تفي تعجدلة تمصن اللصلحصكاتم تبتملثتلَ صهصذا اللتلسصناتد صكصحتدي ت

Beshak Muhammad Bin Ishaaq aur un K shaykh (Dawud Bin Al-Husyn) ki Hadith main Ikhtilaf
hay. Magar Kai Ahkamaat main inki Ahadith ko Qubool kiya jata hay......
س حكدلَ حملخصتصل ل
ف تفيته صملرحدوئدا صوصللي ص
Aur Har Mukhtalif (Yani jis ki Hadith par Ikhtilaf Ho us) ki Hadith Mardood (weak/rejected) nahi
hoti.
11. Kisi rawi ka kasrat k sath Daeef Rawiyun say Hadith Bayan karna khud usko Da'if nahi karta.
Aur Kisi Rawi ka Hadith main Kabhi Khata karna Jab k wo Sadooq ho Hadith ko Da'if nahi karta.
* Imam Bukhari Tareekh Al Kabeer main in par Sakoot Ikhtiyar kiya hay.
* Imam Bukhari nain Sahih Bukhari main in Say Rawyat bhi li hay.
َ الحجة أحمد بن حنبل: َ هو حجة ؟ قال: قلت. ثقة يخطىء كما يخطىء الناس
Thiqah thy, Magar Kabhi khata kar jaty thy. Aur Mana (Yani Imam Abu Dawud k ek student) unsy
pucha k Kya wo Hujjat hain? Imam Abu Dawud nain farmaya: Imam Ahmad Bin Hambal nain
unko Hujjat Qarar diya hay.
In main Un Logon ka Radd hay Jo Yeh Manty hain k Bukhari main koi Hadith e Hasan nahi hay.
Jab k Sadooq Aur Khata waly ki Hadith Aam toor par Hasan hoti hay.
Aysa Rawi jo Sadooq ho magar us say Khata ho jati ho us ki Hadith ko hujjat Manna jysa K Imam
Ahmad Bin Hambal nain farmaya, yeh bhi sabit hua.
Is main Un Logon ko bhi Jawab hay jo yeh kehty hain k Imam Bukhari jis par Sakoot ikhtiyar
karain wo Rawi Daif hota hay Ya un k Han Majhool hota hay.
Kasrat e Manakeer ka hona Rawi ko Fee Nafsihi (yani khud rawi ko) daif nahi karta.
Alhamdolillah
Sahih Bukhari main Sirf Sahih Ahadith nahi hain, Balky Hasan Ahadith bhi hain. Hasan ka Darja
Sahih say thora sa kam hota hay. Magar jo Hukum Sahih say sabit hota hay wohi Hukum Hasan
Hadith bhi Sabit karti hay. Is Lihaaz Say Sahih Aur Hasan Baraabar hain.
Imam Bukhari aur unsy Pehly k Scholars Sahih Aur Hasan Dono tara ki Ahadith ko Sahih Manty
thy. Imam Tirmidhi pehly Shakhs thy jinhoun nain Sahih Aur Hasan ko Alag Alag kar k Bayan kiya.
Aj Baaz Loog kehty hain k Hum Sahih Hadith ko hi Manain gay Hasan ko Nahi manain gay. Ya
yeh kehty hain k Sahih Hadith ho to Hasan ki zururat nahi. Jab k asa kehna Sirf Ilm e Hadith say
jahalat k siwa kuch nahi.
Wo Sahih Bukhari aur Sahih Muslim, ya Dono main say kisi ek Kitab k Rawi jin ki Ahadith Hasan
hain (Sahih Nahi) un main say 20 ka Zikar kar rha hun Ta k Hamary Door k Bid'ati Firqay ka
mukammal radd ho jaay.
Aur ALLAH k Fazal say Yehi Hasan GHAREEB Hadith Imam Bukhari nain inhi Alfaaz aur isi
Sanad k sath Sahih Bukhari main bhi Rawayat ki hay.
See Sahih Bukhari, 614.
So please Ab koi Yeh kehta hua nazar na aay k hum sirf Sahih Accept karty hain Hasan Qubool
nahi karty. Ya Hasan ko Reject karty hain jab Sahih Maujood ho.
13. Wo Ahadith jin ko Imam Ibn e Hajr 'Asqalani (R) nain Fathul Bari (Commentary of Sahih
Bukhari) main Sahih Bukhari ki explanation main Bayan farmaya hay. Aur Un Ahadith par Imam
nain khamoshi ikhtiyar ki hay to wo Ahadith Imam Ibn e Hajr Asqalani (R) k nazdeek Sahih Ya
Hasan Ahadith hain.
Hafiz Ibn e Hajr 'Asqalani (R) Muqaddamah Fathul Bari main farmaty hain (Not word to word
translation its a Rough translation but meaning is same):
حيح تفي صذتلك الصحتديث من اللصفصواتئأد المتنية والسنادية من تتمات وزيادات ثجم أستخرجِ صثاتنئيا صما يصتصعجلق تبته صغصرضَ ص

صجحة صأو اللحسن تفيصما أوردهح من صذتلك
والجوامع والمستخرجات والجزاء والفوائأد تبصشلرط ال ض
Aur phir Mana Zaaid Ahadith bhi (Sharah) main Bayan ki hain Ta k Matan aur Sanad say Related
Fawaaid bayan ho jaen. Chupy huay Mushkil Nukaat khul jaen, Mudallas k Sama Ki Tasreeh ho
jaay, Mutabi'at ho jaay. Aur yeh Sab Ahadith mana UMMAHAT-UL-MASANEED (Means Authentic
Hadith Priamary Soucrces) say Sahih ya Hasan ki shart k sath li hain.
Isi Baat say Allama Shauwkaani (R) nain NAYIL AL AUTAAR Main Ihtijaaj kiya hay.
14. Sahih Hadith and Hasan Hadith are Equal when it comes to use them as Evidence in Fiqhi or
any other issue.
Imam e Hind Imam Shah Abdul Haq Muhaddith Dehlavi (R) writes in his Book
Imam Bukhari (R) jab kisi rawi k bary main Farmaty hain Feehi Nazar. to is say kya murad hoti
hay?
Allah ki Taufeeq say mana pura 1 month tak Un Rawiyun ko Study kiya hay jin k bary main Imam
Bukhari (R) nain Feehi Nazar farmaya. Aur yeh janny ki haqeer si koshish ki hay k is say Asal
Muraad unki kya hay?
Mana is Tahqeeq main graphs aur charts ko use kiya hay.
Aur ALLAH ki Taufeeq say yeh Tahqeeq in Usool ki Bunyad par Mukammal ki hay.
1. Kya Imam Bukhari nain usi Rawi ko Apni kitab Ad Duafa main Shamil kiya hay ya nahi?
2. Usi Rawi k bary main Imam Ibn e Hajr (R) ki kya raay hay?
Is ka yeh Faida hay k normally Jab Hafiz Ibn e Hajr kisi rawi par Hukum lagaty hain to wo Tamam
Aaemmah k Raay k Darmayan Tatbeeq dayny ki koshish karty hain jis k nateejay main ek
Moderate view samny ata hay.
Wallahu A'lam
AAP SAW nain farmaya: Main Ilm ka shyhar hun Ali us ka Darwaza hain..
Aur Isi k bary main Hafiz Ibn e Hajr Asqalani kehty hain
بأنه حسن
yeh HADITH HASAN HAY !!
Aur yehi Raay Imam Suyuti, aur Dusry Kai Huffaaz ki bhi yehi raay hay..
Agr kisi Rawi ko ek Imam Majhool keh rha ho aur Dusra Imam us k bary main khabar day rha ho
k wo usko janta hay to wo Rawi Majhool nahi rehta.
أصلسصباط أصحبو اليسعk bary main Imam Ibn e Hajr Asqalani Muqaddamah Fathul Bari main Farmaty hain
Mana Imam Bukhari (R) ki Tareekh Al Kabeer ko Daykha to us main bas itna likha hua paya
ي

Asbaat Abu Yas'a Al basri,
Inhoun nain Imam Shu'bah say Sama kiya. Aur in say Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Haushab nain
Sama kiya.
And More Importantly Imam Bukhari Just Mentioned k is nain kis Say suna aur is say kis nain
suna...
Koi Aur cheez Zikar nahi ki.... !
Aur sirf iska zikar karna hay uska Majhool hona khatam karta hay !
وذكره بن حبان في الصحابة وفي ثقات التابعين أيضا وهذه عادته فيمن اختلف في صحبته
Aur Ibn e Hibban nain Inka Zikar Sahaba Ikraam main bhi kiya hay aur THIQAAT TABI'EEN main
bhi kiya hay aur yeh IBN E HIBBAN ki Adat hay us Rawi k bary main jis k Sahaabi hony par
Ikhtilaaf ho.
In case Agr Sab kahain k yeh Sahabi nahi hain. Tabi' hain.. To Yaqeenan yeh Bary Tabi'i hain.. !
Aur Bary Tabieen ki Hadith k bary main Hafiz Zahabi farmaty hain
Al Mauqazah-Imam Zahabi...
يصقبحله،س به

Aur Agr Mursal Sahih Al Asnaad ho Tabi'i Mutawassit (Middle) tak. jysy k Imam Mujahid, Ibrahim
(Nakhi'i) Shu'bi Wagyra ki hain.. To wo MURSAL JAYYID HAIN... un main koi masla nahi hay.
Unko Ek Jama'at nain Qubool kiya hay aur ek Jama'at nain Qubool nahi kiya.....
Imam Zahabi k Qool say thiqah Bary Tabi'i ki Hujjat Qaaim hoti hay jysa k Ahnaaf uar Malikiyyah k
haan hay !
Aur Imam Bukhari ne ' Asbaat abu yas'a ' se apni Sahih me Ihtijaaj bhi kiya hai
Anas went to the Prophet ( )ﷺwith barley bread having some dissolved fat on it. The Prophet ( )ﷺ
had mortgaged his armor to a Jew in Medina and took from him some barley for his family. Anas
heard him saying, "The household of Muhammad did not possess even a single Sa of wheat or
food grains for the evening meal, although he has nine wives to look after."

Imam Bukhari (R) jab kisi rawi k bary main Farmaty hain Feehi Nazar. to is say kya murad hoti

Allah ki Taufeeq say mana pura 1 month tak Un Rawiyun ko Study kiya hay jin k bary main Imam

1. Kya Imam Bukhari nain usi Rawi ko Apni kitab Ad Duafa main Shamil kiya hay ya nahi?
2. Usi Rawi k bary main Imam Ibn e Hajr (R) ki kya raay hay?

Wallahu A'lam
4:Bukhari and Muslim did not include all of the sound Hadith in their Sahihs, and they did not take
it upon themselves to do that.
Imam Bukhari himself said: I put into kitab Al Jami' (comprehensive collection; that is, his Sahih)
only what was established as sound and I left out other sound Hadith for fear of prolixity.
Imam Muslim himself wrote in his Sahih Muslim, Book of prayer, Chapter of Tashahhud: I have
not recorded each single report which is authentic me in my book.
So Mr. blunders ! Why You so want to prove that Sahih only exist in only these two books? Imam
Bukhari Himself said I have memorized 1,00,000 authentic narrations and Bukhari & Muslim
altogether only contains about 4000 narrations. where are rest 96,000? You simply want to reject
other SAYINGS OF PROPHET? Mr. Tom !
And yes If You say You only Practice what is in Bukhari and Muslim then you even prove yourself
to be another Donkey moving on the earth's surface !
post #1
Ibn e Abbas RA narrated that: PROPHET (Peace Be Upon Him) himself said:
رأيت ربي تبارك وتعالى
I saw my Lord, (ALLAH) Tabaraka Wa Ta'ala.
Post #2
Topic Narration of Ayesha Siddiqah RA:
Narrated by Masruq:
`Aisha RA said, "If anyone tells you that Muhammad (Peace be upon him) has seen his Lord, he
is a liar, for Allah says: 'No vision can grasp Him.' (6.103
(Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim)
- Most important point to understand is: When we compare both narrations we see that the stance
of Ayesha RA is her own personal view/ijtihad. Proof of it is she is using Ayah of Quran to explain
her stance where as Ibn e Abbas is narrating directly from PROPHET (Peace Be Upon Him)
without using his opinion. Ibn e Abbas RA also have different interpretation of the same verses
Quoted by Ayesha RA.
- Did she also do ijtihad on other issues like we are claiming here?
Yes, we will see in next post In sha ALLAH which will help us to develop our understanding of the
issue.
Rule: When two authentic reports apparently contradict each other. We Should try to reconcile
them. If not, superiority is sought.
Note: Emotional arguments academically are not acceptable e.g, saying that She is Wife of
PROPHET (Peace Be Upon Him) and She is mother of believers. How can she not know about
it? Why you are rejecting her statement etc are not gona work. May be these arguments work for
a taxi driver who has nothing to do with this subject or we can also reply with: Ibn e Abbas is the
one about whom PROPHET (Peace be Upon Him) said, O Allah! Bestow on him the knowledge
of the Book (Qur'an). Why you are rejecting Ibn e Abbas RA?
And if you think we are disrespecting Mother of Believers RA, then you should wash dishes at
some hotel. That is a better place for you !
Post #3
Some good arguments which I was going to post were already posted by brother Omar in
previous post. It saved my time. Thanks to him. I present here a new argument on this issue.
Ibn e Umar RA said: I traveled with the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him), Abu Bakr RA, Umar RA,
and Uthman RA; they would pray Zuhr and Asr as two Rak'ah and two Rak'ah (because of
journey), not praying before them nor after them. (Bukhari)
But it is reported from Ayesha Siddiqah RA that she didn't use to pray Qasar during journey. Zuhri
said he asked 'Urwa why 'A'isha said prayer in the complete form during journey, and he replied
that she interpreted the matter herself. (Bukhari & Muslim)
Ayesha RA said: Offer prayer in the complete form (during journey). People said: PROPHET
(Peace Be Upon Him) used to offer Two Rak'ah during journey. She replied: He used to be in the
state of war and danger that those who are unbelievers may afflict. Are you also in the same state
of war/danger? (Tabari and Suyuti)
where as Yahya b. Umayya said: I told 'Umar b. al-Khattab that Allah had said:" You may shorten
the prayer only if you fear that those who are unbelievers may afflict you" (Qur'an, iv. 101),
whereas the people are now safe. He replied: I wondered about it in the same way as you wonder
about it, so I asked the Messenger of Allah ( )ﷺabout it and he said: It is an act of charity which
Allah has done to you, so accept His charity. (Muslim)
And Ibn 'Abbas RA reported: Allah has prescribed the prayer by the tongue of your Apostle ( )ﷺ
as two rak'ahs for the traveler, four for the resident, and one in danger. (Muslim & Abu Dawud)
- There is no such rule that if some Sahabi/Sahabiyyah is narrating something with his/her own
ijtihad will be accepted without any ifs and buts even if it contradicts the saying of PROPHET
(Peace Be Upon Him)
- Still Do not believe? Read Allama Ibn e Taymiyyah, Majmu Al Fatawa, 97-98/24
In Sha ALLAH, In Next post we will discuss Narration of Ibn e Abbas RA.
Wallahu A'lamu Wa Billahi-t-Taufeeq.
Imam Shafi'i (R) k Nazdeek Safar e Shari'i main namaz Puri parhna aur Qasar karna Dono Jaaiz
hain Laykin Qasar karna Afzal hay.
imam Ahmad (R) Aur Imam Malik (R) k Nazdeek Safae e Shari'i main Qasar karna Mubaah hay.
Imam e Azam Abu Haneefah (R) k Nazdeek Qasar Karna Wajib hay aur is ka Tark Karna Gunah
hay..
Ibn e Umar RA said: I traveled with the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him), Abu Bakr RA, Umar RA,
and Uthman RA; they would pray Zuhr and Asr as two Rak'ah and two Rak'ah (because of
journey), not praying before them nor after them.

Ruhan Madni
Exactly Shaykh! It is called "Marfu fi Hukmihi". Future, events, specific praise for someone, or
thawaab of specific things etc. fall into its domain. For example, there is this hadith from a Sahabi
(Sahih) that When you see tunnels being dug into the mountains of Makkah, and the Buildings of
Makkah start reaching upto the mountains of Makkah, know that the shade of the hour
(Qiyaamah) is upon you. (Which is all happening at present! And the Hadith is Sahih). Now this
hadith is not Marfu`, that is the Sahabi didnt narrate it from the Prophet alyhi salam, but such a
thing cant be said by the Sahaabi on his own, through his own Ijtihaad, and the language of the
hadith (which again is an important factor at times to decide whether the hadith could be Marfu
actually or not), is very much Prophet-like. So the Ulema would say "Wa hukmihi Marfu`" . This is
one good example and there are several many.
Post # 6
Mauqoof report of Ibn e Abbas RA:
As we discussed in previous post that two rules are very important to understand this issue. In
this post we will discuss only with respect to the first rule.
Rule 1: When a companion says something which does not concern his independent thought
(ijtihd) will also be considered as marfu‘ (i.e. saying of Prophet Peace be Upon Him)
- We discussed that Sayyidah Ayesha Siddiqah RA had her ijtihad about the issue and as her
proof she used ayah of Quran.
Imam Nawawi said: Ayesha Didn't say that She heard it from the Prophet (Peace be Upon Him)
that "He didn't see his Lord" but what she said was as interpretation of verses of Quran (with her
own understanding as we mentioned).
Imam Nawawi further states: And If a companion say something and other companions oppose it
(with stronger proofs) then the saying of first companion will not remain Hujjah i.e. valid argument.
(Sharah Sahih Muslim by Imam Nawawi)
- On the other side Ibn e Abbas RA didn't use his ijtihad and clear proof of it is he is not using any
ayah to support his view and it is something which he cannot attribute it to Prophet without having
its knowledge from Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) and such narrations comes under category of
Rule 1.
According to First rule even Mauqoof narration of Ibn e Abbas RA goes back to Prophet (Peace
Be Upon Him) and become Marfu' and saying of Prophet (Peace be upon him) is far superior than
saying of Aisha RA as mentioned by Imam Ahmad Bin Hanbal which we discussed in previous
posts. Hence superiority must be given to report of Ibn e Abbas RA.
In Sha ALLAH In next post we will see interpretation of those verses which are quoted by Ayesha
RA.
Post # 7
- What about the interpretation of those verses Quoted by Ayesha RA as proof of her view?
By The grace of Allah We Say: Ibn e Abbas is the one about whom PROPHET (Peace be Upon
Him) said, "O Allah! Bestow on him the knowledge of the Book (Qur'an)" and he interpreted those
verses in a very different way.
Imam Tirmidhi narrates and also declared it Hasan: Ibn Abbas RA said that Muhammad (Peace
Be Upon Him) saw his Lord, (Ikrama) asked (and quoted proof of Ayesha RA that): Hasn’t Allah
said that Eyes cannot “COMPREHEND” him, at this (Ibn Abbas) replied: Strange (Arabic wording
is more strict but we have translated it to Strange) that you have not understood, this is when
Allah shows glimpse of his own Nur (which cannot be comprehended), So Prophet (Peace be
upon him) indeed saw Allah twice.
- Imam Nawawi states: The Proof which Aisha (ra) took (to reject sight of Allah) i.e. {Eyes cannot
comprehend him} the apparent answer to this will be that there cannot be Idraak (i.e. complete
comprehension, to gather all around, to see all aspects) of Allah, so the Nass (of Quran) does
Nafi of Al-Ihaat but this does not do Nafi of sight without Ihaata (i.e. complete comprehension)
- Moreover it is also supported by the fact that on the day of Judgment Saliheen will have sight of
Allah. If HIS sight is not possible at all then it should be the same on the Day of Judgment but
Imam Bukhari and Muslim narrates:
During the lifetime of the Prophet ( )ﷺsome people said, : O Allah's Messenger ( !)ﷺShall we see
our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" The Prophet ( )ﷺsaid, "Yes; do you have any difficulty in
seeing the sun at midday when it is bright and there is no cloud in the sky?" They replied, "No."
He said, "Do you have any difficulty in seeing the moon on a full moon night when it is bright and
there is no cloud in the sky?" They replied, "No." The Prophet ( )ﷺsaid, "(Similarly) you will have
no difficulty in seeing Allah on the Day of Resurrection as you have no difficulty in seeing either of
them.
In next post In sha ALLAH We will proceed discussion with rule 2 "The one confirming is higher
and more acceptable than one negating"
Post # 8
What we have discussed already is enough for the proof that narration of Ibn e Abbas RA is
preferred over narration of Ayesha RA. But it can also be proven by rule 2 (Which we mentioned)
that "The one confirming is higher and more acceptable than one negating"
To Understand this rule I asked my friend Ruhan Madni about it and he said:
"It is a simple usool that we sometimes use in hadith literature, but is also sometimes misused by
people who have no ground in fiqh and its usool (like al albaani).
This rule that "The one confirming is higher and more acceptable than one negating" is
specifically used in the context of ahadith or incidents where for example a companion says "The
Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) said 'he will go to jannah' and some other companion says "The
Prophet didn't speak about him".
In this case, the one who says "He said" is above and more acceptable than the one who says
"He didn't", because the latter says this because of his 'Laa 'Ilmi" and lack of knowledge or lack of
presence."
After understanding this rule lets read Imam Nawawi R. Imam Nawaw R states that:
"Ma’mar bin Rashid (rah) said regarding the difference between Aisha (ra) and Ibn Abbas (ra) that
Aisha (ra) was not aware about this (completely) whereas Ibn Abbas (ra) was, So when Ibn
Abbas (ra) is proving it while some others are doing Nafi of it then It is a (Principle) that Masbat
(Proof) takes over Nafi (rejection).
The result of all (proofs which have been shown) is that it is pre dominantly established amongst
many ulama that Prophet (Peace be upon him) saw Allah with his eyes on the night of Ascension
as the hadith from Ibn Abbas (ra) and others have been mentioned before, the proof of which
comes from Prophet (Peace be upon him) hence there should be no doubt about it."
By All means, Hadith of Ibn e Abbas RA is preferred over the opinion of Ayesha RA and it is
Madhab of vast Majority of Ummah that Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) saw Allah.
If someone says saying of Ayesha RA is in Sahih Bukhari that is why it is more preferable than
Hadith of Ibn e Abbas. In Sha ALLAH in next post we will answer this question.
Ruhan Madni
The Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama`ah in majority has interpreted the hadith of Ayesha radiallahu anha
differently and the aqeedah of the Ahlus Sunnah is that he alyhi salatu was salam travelled in
Mi`raaj for real.
As for then intent of Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas then there are other narrations too that talk of him
saying that the Prophet saw Allah twice, once with his heart and once with his eyes. In another
instance he states that the Prophet alyhi salam saw Him with his heart. The Ulema of ahadith so
as to combine them have sought after "Jama` baynal Hadeethayn", and made a solution by
stating that the Prophet alyhi salatu was salam saw Him with his eyes, as there is nothing
negating that. As for through the heart, then that also happened. Further, Shaykh Wajahat
Hussain Al-Hanafi will go into great detail inshAllah.
Post #9
Saying that Hadith of Sayyidah Ayehsa Siddiqah RA is in Sahih Bukhari that is why preference
should be given to this hadiith. Is it valid argument?
- If a Hadith is Sahih, it never means it is also practicable. This rule does not exclude even Sahih
Bukhari and such reports can be found in it. None of the five conditions of authentic hadith says
'Sahih is the one which is also practicable".
I am mentioning here only one of those ahadith as example which are in Sahih Bukhari and So
called 'Ahl ul Hadith and holders of Sahih Bukhari' do not act upon it.
- The companions of `Abdullah (bin Mas`ud RA) came to Abu Darda' RA, (and before they arrived
at his home), he looked for them and found them. Then he asked them,: 'Who among you can
recite (Qur'an) as `Abdullah recites it?" They replied, "All of us." He asked, "Who among you
knows it by heart?" They pointed at 'Alqama. Then he asked Alqama. "How did you hear
`Abdullah bin Mas`ud reciting Surat Al-Lail (The Night)?" Alqama recited:
I say:
- Today's Standard Qiraat is صوصما صخصلصق الجذصكصر صوال حلنصثىand even those who claim to follow Sahih
Bukhari do not recite according to Hadith of Bukhari.
- Our Shakh, Shaykh Atabek Shukurov has given a detailed lecture on this topic. I am posting his
video in my comment.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5rgMQ-AwuY
The proof I mentioned is enough for the people of intellect to understand that being in Sahih
Bukhari never means it is also practicable and preferred over other narrations.
In sha ALLAH in next post we will discuss different wordings of narration of Ibn e Abbas RA.
Post #10
Different texts from Ibn e Abbas RA about Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) Saw ALLAH.
As far as reports of Ibn e Abbas is concerned, Hadith of Tabrani is self explanatory that He (peace
be Upon Him) saw Allah once with his eyes and once with his heart.
Now If someone says that seeing him is baatni (spiritual) seeing not in reality.
We say:
- Reports of Ibn e Abbas (RA) we mentioned are already very clear. But lets look at some other
narrations:
"Ibn 'Abbas met Ka'b at Arafat, so he asked him about something and he kept on saying the
Takbir until it reverberated off of the mountains. So Ibn 'Abbas (finally) said: 'We are Banu
Hashim.' So Ka'b said: 'Indeed Allah divided His being seen and His speaking between
Muhammad and Musa. He spoke to Musa two times, and Muhammad saw Him two times.
(Tirmidhi)
- Ibn Abbas (ra) narrates: Are you surprised at friendship of Ibrahim (a.s) [with Allah], The Speech
of Musa (directly with Allah) and Sight of Muhammad (Salallaho alaihi wasalam)? (Nasaai And
Haakim)
I say:
Analyze the narration with open and neutral mind.
- Ibn e Abbas RA is comparing The Speech of Musa (directly with Allah) and Sight of Muhammad
(Salallaho alaihi wasalam).
If Speech of Musa (AS) with Allah was not real and it was all Batni (spiritual) thing then you can
say the same about Sight of Muhammad (SAW).
If Speech of Musa (AS) was real (obviously which was) then Sight of Muhammad (SAW) was also
likewise.
And in my concluding comments I want to quote here Imam Nawawi. He writes in Sharah Sahih
Muslim:
"The result of all (proofs which have been shown) is that it is pre-dominantly established amongst
many ulama that Prophet (Peace be upon him) saw Allah with his eyes on the night of Ascension
as the hadith from Ibn Abbas (ra) and others have been mentioned before, the proof of which
comes from Prophet (Peace be upon him) hence there should be no doubt about it."
So we must be very careful from Bid'ati monkeys qouting bukhari without even knowning its
meaning and context. May Allah protect us all from their innovations. Aameen.
Alhamdolillah We have completed our detail discussion about narration of Ibn e Abbas and
Ayesha RA. All praises belong to Allah Almighty and Salat o Salalm on Prophet (Peace Be Upon
Him)

==========================================================
Imam Tirmidhi
Imam Tirmidhi (209 - 279 H)
Imam Tirmidhi was born in the year 209 A.H. during the reign of the Abbasid Khalifa Ma'mun al-
Rashid. The Abbasid Caliphate, despite its brilliant contributions to Islam, brought along with it
many thorny problems. Greek Philosophy had a free flow into the Islamic world. This was fully
sanctioned by the government until eventually it declared the Mu'tazila school of thought as the
state religion. Anyone who opposed the Mu'tazila school of thought would be opposing the state.
With the influence of Greek philosophy infiltrating within the people, many Muslims began
attempting to reconcile between reason and revelation. As a result they deviated themselves and
misled many innocent weak Muslims away from Allah and His Prophet (s). Many scholars of
Islam had come to the fore in order to defend the Shari`ah. Forgeries and interpolations in Hadith
by rulers who wished to fulfil their personal motives was common. In the first century `Umar bin
Abdul `Aziz (r) initiated a movement for the compilation of the holy hadith of the the Prophet (s) as
there was a fear of it being lost. Eventually this gigantic task was undertaken by six towering
scholars of Islam. One of them was Imam Abu `Isa Muhammed ibn `Isa Tirmidhi
Having grown up in an environment of learning, together with possessing many great qualities
naturally drove Imam Tirmidhi to dedicate his life totally towards the field of Hadith. He obtained
his basic knowledge at home and later travelled to far off lands in search of this great science. He
studied Hadith under great personalities such as Imam Bukhari, Imam Muslim and Imam Abu
Dawud. In some narrations Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim are his students as well.
Once Imam Bukhari mentioned to him "I have benefited more from you than you have benefitted
from me." Musa ibn `Alaq once said: "When Imam Bukhari passed away, he left no one in
Khurasan who compared with Abu `Isa Tirmidhi in knowledge, memory, piety and abstinence."
According to `Abdullah ibn Muhammed Al-Ansari, Imam Tirmidhi's Al-Jami` is more beneficial than
the works of Bukhari and Muslim since their compilations can only be understood by a very deep
sighted scholar whereas Al-Jami` can be understood by both the scholar and the layman.
Imam Tirmidhi said that he compiled this book and presented it to the learned of Hijaz, Iraq and
Khurasan and they were pleased with it. Who ever has this book in his home, it is as though he
has the Prophet (s) speaking to him there.
His remarkable memory:
Imam Tirmidhi had an exceptionally remarkable memory. If he heard something once he never
forgot it. Once on his way to Makkah, Imam Tirmidhi met a scholar of hadith (muhaddith) from
whom he had previously copied two chapters of hadith. Thinking that he had the notes with him
he asked the scholar if he would allow him to read out these two chapters so that he could correct
any errors. After realizing that he did not have those notes with him he took a blank piece of
paper and read out the entire two parts from memory. When the muhaddith realized what he was
doing he rebuked Imam Tirmidhi saying: "Have you no shame, why are you wasting my time."
Imam Tirmidhi assured him that he had committed all the ahadith to memory. The scholar was not
convinced, even though Imam Tirmidhi had recited all the hadith from memory. Imam Tirmidhi
requested him to recite to him some other hadith. The scholar recited forty ahadith which Imam
Tirmidhi thenrepeated without making a single error, thus showing his remarkable power of
committing hadith to memory.
Another incident has been recorded by Hakim ul-Ummat in his Al-Misk-us-Zaki, depicting the
profound memory of Imam Tirmidhi. He writes:
Imam Tirmidhi had lost his sight towards the latter portion of his life. Once whilst on a journey, at a
certain point he bowed his head. When asked as to why he did this, he replied: "Is there not a
tree here whose branches hang over in such a manner that it harms those who are passing by."
They answered in the negative. He was quite shocked when he heard this as he distinctly
remembered there being a tree and was worried as to whether his memory was failing him or not.
He stopped the caravan immediately and asked his companions to enquire from the locals
whether a tree had existed there or not. "If it is established that no tree existed then I will stop
narrating the Hadith of the Prophet (s) due to my weak memory." On inquiry it was shown to them
that a tree had previously existed over there but due to it being a hindrance to travelers it was
removed.
Imam Tirmidhi had a large number of students from all over the world. The most famous amongst
them were Haysam ibn Kulaib, Abul Abbaas and Muhammed ibn Ahmed Shah Abdul `Aziz
describes Imam Tirmidhi in the following words: "His memory was unique and his piety and fear of
Allah ta'la was of a very high caliber. He would cry so much out of the fear of Allah, that towards
the end of his life he lost his sight."
According to Ibn Taymiyya and Shah Waliullah, Imam Timidhi was an independent Jurist
(Mujtahid). Moulana Anwar Shah Kashmiri is of the opinion that he was a Shafi`i.
In the year 279 A.H. in a village called Bawag at the age of 70 , Imam Tirmidhi left this temporary
abode for the everlasting life of the hereafter. May Allah swt fill his grave with light. The enormity
of his sacrifices and the extent to which he served the religion can never be fully comprehended.
Many books of hadith were compiled before Imam Tirmidhi decided to compile his Al-Jami`.
Dawud Tayalisi and Ahmed ibn Hanbal had compiled books consisting of both authentic and weak
hadith. Later Imam Bukhari compiled his Sahih and omitted all weak narrations from it. His main
objective was to derive masa'il / laws from the relevant hadith. Later Imam Muslim compiled his
book with a primary focus on the isnad (different chain of narrators). Imam Nasa'i's aim was to
mention the discrepancies of the hadith whilst Abu Dawud prepared a book which became the
basis for the fuqaha. Imam Tirmidhi had combined the styles of Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud and
Nasa'i by mentioning the discrepancies regarding the narrators and also making his compilation a
basis for the jurists.
The Special characteristics of al-Jami` ut-Tirmidhi
1. It is a Sunan and a Jami`.
2. Only 83 hadith are repeated.
3. Imam Tirmidhi omits the major portion of the hadith and only mentions that part which is
relevant to the heading. (title)
4. After mentioning a hadith he classifies it narration (whether it is authentic or weak, etc.)
5. He specifies the narrators names, e.g. if the narrators kunya (honorific name) was mentioned,
he would then mention his proper name and vice versa.
6. One hadith in Tirmidhi is a thulaathiyaat i.e. the transmitters of the hadith betwen Imam
Tirmidhi and the Prophet (s) are only three.
7. Every hadith in Tirmidhi al-Jami` is "ma'mul bihi" (practised upon by the jurists.)
8. He explains the different madhahib together with their proofs.
9. He gives an explanation to all difficult ahadith.
10. His book has been set out in an excellent sequence, hence to look for a hadith is very easy.
11. There is no fabricated hadith in the entire book.
The conditions of Imam Tirmidhi in the selection of hadith
According to the commentators of Al-Jami Imam Tirmidhi maintained the following conditions
throughout the compilation of his book.
1. He never narrated hadith from those who fabricated hadith. 2. Allama Tahir Muqaddisi
mentions that al-Jami` ut-Tirmidhicontains four types of hadith:
[1] Those ahadith that conform with the conditions of Bukhari and Muslim.
[2] Those ahadith that conform with the conditions of Abu Dawud and Nasa'i.
[3] Those ahadith that have certain discrepancies either in the sanad or matan.
[4] Those weak hadith that some fuqaha have relied on.
3. Imam Tirmidhi accepts a hadith which is narrated with the word "a'n" provided both the
narrators are contemporaries. 4. After mentioning a weak hadith, he explains the state of its
weakness. 5. A mursal hadith is accepted by Imam Tirmidhi when it is supported by a chain of
narrators which is not broken.
The status of al-Jami` ut-Tirmidhi among the six authentic books of hadith. al-Jami` ut-Tirmidhi
has been categorized as fifth amongst the six most authentic books of hadith. According to the
most preferred opinion, Bukhari enjoys the highest status, followed by Muslim, Abu Dawood,
Nasai, Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah respectively. Haji Khalifa in al-Kashf al-Dhunoon has categorised
Tirmidhi in third position. Al-Dhahabi has written that Tirmidhi in actual fact should be holding the
third position, but due to him bringing weak narrators like Kalbi and Masloob its status has
dropped. However, looking at the manner in which he set out his book it seems that Haji Khalifa's
opinion is best.
Some of the commentaries of Tirmidhi
{1.} 'A'ridat-ul-Ahwazi

{2} Qut-ul Mughtazi

Ahnaaf.
=======================================================
But Mostly Shuru ki 3 Conditions ko Satisfy Karny Wali Hadith Sahih kehlaati hay... Q k wo Sabit
ho jati hay....
2. Usul ul Hadith aur Aam Zuban main "Sahih" ka Matlab Different hay...
Sahih Say Murad Urdu Wala Sahih ya Ghalat nahi hota.. Balky yeh Usul ul Hadith ki ek technical

Is liay Hadith Apni Sanad k Itbaar say 3 Darjy ki hoti hay..
1. Sahih.
2. Hasan.
3. Daif (Weak) Jab k Weak narration bhi hadith hi hoti hay.. koi Ghari hui cheez nahi hoti...
Jab k jo Fabricated Narrations hoti hain unko Usul ul Hadith main Daif nahi Balky MAUDU
(FABRICATED/Fake) Kaha jata hay...
So Nateeja yeh Nikla k Jab Hum kehty hain k Hadith Sahih nahi hay..
To Wo Hasan bhi ho skti hay .. aur Weak bhi ho skti hay !!
Iska Hargiz matlab yeh nahi hota k Siray say wo Hadith hi nahi......
Ab Rahi baat..
Kya Sia Sittah Ki saari hadeesay sahi hai?
Han magar Sunan Ibn e Majah main koi 20 k Qareeb Aysi Ahadith hain jin main weakness kafi

Sihah Sitta main repetition nikal dain to Kul Ahadith ki Tadaad 12,000-14,000 Tak Hay....
Jab k Is Waqt kam o Baish 2 3 Lakh Ahadith ka Zakheera hamary pas Maujood hay !!
Jo Dusri Kutub ma hain !
Like Musnad Ahmad, Musnad Ishaaq Bin Rahwiyyah, Musannaf Ibn e Abi Shaibah, Musannaf
Abdul Razzaq, Jami Ma'mar Bin Rashid, Sunan Nasaai Al Kubra, Mustadrak Imam Haakim,
Sunan Imam Darmi, Sunan Imam Dar Al Qutuni, Bayhaqi ki Sunans, aur Tabraani ki Majam AL

So Yeh nahi kehna chahiay k Sihah Sitta main ho to tab hi Maanun ga.. ya k Sihah Sitta say
Dikhai Tab maanon ga..
Aysi Baat kisi bhi Muhaddith nain nahi ki.. aur na hi karny ka Jawaaz hay !
Ab Aham baat..
agar koi sia sittah ki kissi hadith ka inkar karay ga, kya woh kafir ho jaata hai??
Answer is It Depends:
Baaz Mutwatir Ahadith ko Na Manny wala Kafir ho jata hay.
maslan 5 Namazon k farz hony Par Ahadith.. jo in 5 ki Farziyyat ka Inkar kary wo Kafir hay...
Baaz Ahadith k Inkar say Kafir to nahi hota.. Balky Bid'ati ho jata hay aur Wo Bid'at kufr tak usko
lay jati hay Magar wo khud Kafir nahi hota..
maslan Shafa'at ka Inkar karny wala.. Khooz e Kausar ka Inkar karny wala...
Baaz Ahadith ka Inkar karny say na kafir hota hay na hi Kufr lazim ata hay.. Balky Unko Gumrah..
Aur Bid'ati kaha jaay ga..
maslan..
Maula Ali ki Wilayat ka Inkar karny wala... jo k Wazeh Ahadith main hay... Waseela ka Inkar karny
wala.. etc
Baaz Ahadith aysi Hain Jinka Inkar is Waja say ho k Fiqh k Baab main Dusri Ahadith maujood
hain to us par amal hay to us say Gumrahi bhi lazim nahi aati..
Maslan Jo Raful yadain karta hy usy Gumrah nahi kahain gay.. Jo nahi karta usy bhi nahi kahain
gay q k is par Ahadith dono ki Maujood hain...
Aur Baaz Aysi Ahadith hoti hain jin ko WEAK AHadith Kaha ata hay..us par Amal Karna Mustahab
hota hay... Inkar karny wala Kafir nahi hota... Na hi Gumrah hota hay.. Magar yeh Janty huay k
Hadith e Daif par Amal karna mustahab hay.. phir bhi inkar kar day k nahi main nahi manta.. to
yeh Mustahab amal chorny jysa hay... aur Mery Nazdeek Gunah e Sageera hay...
Wazeh Rahy.. Mustahab Amal chorny ki waja say Gunah e Sagheera ka hukm nahi laga raha...
Balky Hadith ko Janty huay Baghair kisi Sanad ki Tahqeeq k us ko tark karny par yeh hukm laga

==============================================================
koi bhi aysi Hadith jo Mustadrak Imam Haakim aur Musnad Ahmad Bin Hambal in dono books

With regards to the actual text of a hadith the Imam/Muhaddith refers to the overruling book of the
Holy Qur'an and the Shari`ah. If the hadith matches the rulings of the Qur'an and Shari`ah then
the matn (Actual text) will be regarded as Sahih (authentic). Conversely if it is against the Qur'an
and Shari`ah then it will be classified as maudhu (Fabrication) and will not even be regarded as a
hadith and be rejected.
2) Isnad
As I have stated above the branch of Ilm-e-isnad (Science of narrators) came into existence after
the first fitna in the 7th century CE and became a very important part of the religion.
"The isnad is from the religion; were it not for the isnad anyone could say anything they wanted."
(Reported by Imam Muslim in the introduction to his Sahih; vol. 1, pg. 9, Dar Taibah)
Those who were not required to give a sanad were the Companions of the Holy Prophet
(SalAllaho Alahi WaAlehi Wasalam). This is due to the Companions all being considered upright,
trustworthy transmitters of hadith such that a mursal hadith (meaning hurried e.g., when a
successor to the Companions (A tabi'i) says, "The Prophet said ...") narrated by a Companion is
acceptable, as the elided narrator, being a Companion, is known to be acceptable. Al-Khateeb al-
Bagdadi, stating likewise, cited various evidences for this, from them, the Quranic verse, "And
you were the best nation brought about to mankind." (Al-Kifayah; pg. 46, Dar al-Kutub al-Ilmiyyah;
from the Indian print with Mualami's verification. The verse mentioned is verse 110 of Surah Aal
Imran; the translation of 'ummah' is based upon Hafiz Ibn Kathir's interpretation of the verse.)
Along with the introduction of Ilm-e-isnad (Science of narrators) there was a need for Ilm ar-Rijal
(Science of People). This was a recording of accurate accounts of people's lives (Biographies). It
began with the life of the Holy Prophet (SalAllaho Alahi WaAlehi Wasalam). It also included
people of Riwaya (from the Arabic word "Rawa", meaning "to relate"), who related the ahadith of
the Holy Prophet (SalAllaho Alahi WaAlehi Wasalam). Some books of Ilm ar-Rijal include:
• The Great History (Al-Tarikh al-Kabir) by the 9th century scholar Yahya ibn Ma'in.
• The Comprehensive Compilation of the Names of the Prophet (SalAllaho Alahi WaAlehi
Wasalam's) Companions by 10th century scholar Ibn Abd-al-Barr who listed every person who
met Muhammad (SalAllaho Alahi WaAlehi Wasalam), even once in their life, including as an
infant.
• Finding the Truth in Judging the Companinons (Al-Isaba fi tamyiz al-Sahaba) written by Ibn
Hajar Asqalani
• History of Damascus (Tarikh Dimashq) is a book by Islamic scholar Ibn Asakir. It covers the life
of every important man and woman who visited Damascus.
• Al-Kamal fi ma`rifat al-rijal is a multi-volume collection of biographies by the 12th century Islamic
scholar Abd al-Ghani Abd al-Wahid al-Maqdisi. Yusuf ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Mizzi compiled,
edited and abridged this work naming it, Tahdhib al-Kamal fi asma' al-rijal . Further, one of al-
Mizzi's gifted pupils, Al-Dhahabi, summarized his teacher's work and produced an abridgement
called Tadhhib al-Tahdhib . A similar effort to the work of al-Mizzi was made by Ibn Hajar Asqalani,
who prepared a lengthy but abridged version, with about one-third of the original omitted, also
entitled Tahdhib al-Tahdhib .
As you can see from this Ilm ar-Rijal (Science of People) became a very important part of Uloom-
e-hadith (Science of hadith). All the narrators and compiler's of ahadith used Ilm ar-Rijal to
classify the ahadith.
One of the earliest writings to attempt to cover mustalah (Classification) comprehensively, using
standard (i.e. generally-accepted) terminology, was the work by al-Ramahurmuzi (d. 360H). The
next major contribution was Ma'rifah 'Ulum al-Hadith by Imam al-Hakim (d. 405H), which covered
fifty classifications of hadith, but still left some points untouched; Abu Nu'aim al-Isbahani (d.
430H) completed some of the missing parts to this work. After that came Al-Kifayah fi 'Ilm al-
Riwayah of al-Khatib al-Baghdadi (d. 463H) and another work on the manner of teaching and
studying hadith; later scholars were considered to be greatly indebted to al-Khatib's work.
After further contributions by Qadi 'Iyad al-Yahsubi (d. 544H) and Abu Hafs al-Mayanji (d.580H)
among others, came the work which, although modest in size, was so comprehensive in its
excellent treatment of the subject that it came to be the standard reference for thousands of
scholars and students of hadith to come, over many centuries until the present day: 'Ulum al-
Hadith of Abu 'Amr 'Uthman Ibn al-Salah (d. 643H), commonly known as Muqaddimah Ibn al-
Salah, compiled while he taught in the Dar al-Hadith (School for teaching hadith) of several cities
in Syria. Some of the numerous later works based on that of Ibn al-Salah are:
An abridgement of Muqaddimah, Al-Irshad by al- Nawawi (d. 676H), which he later summarised in
his Taqrib; al-Suyuti (d. 911H) compiled a valuable commentary on the latter entitled Tadrib al-
Rawi. Ikhtisar 'Ulum al-Hadith of Ibn Kathir (d. 774H), Al-Khulasah of al-Tibi (d. 743H), Al-Minhal
of Badr al-Din b. Jama'ah (d. 733H), Al-Muqni' of Ibn al-Mulaqqin (d. 802H) and Mahasin al-Istilah
of al-Balqini (d. 805H), all of which are abridgements of Muqaddimah Ibn al- Salah. Al-Nukat of al-
Zarkashi (d. 794H), Al-Taqyid wa 'l-Idah of al-'Iraqi (d. 806H) and Al-Nukat of Ibn Hajar
al-'Asqalani (d. 852H), all of which are further notes on the points made by Ibn al-Salah.
During the classification of Ahadith the great Imam's asked about the narrators, with some
questions being:
• Is there any record of their meeting or collaborating or having any common interests?
• Are the individuals of sound morals and not motivated by politics, local tradition, ideology,
money or factional concerns of sects?
At the same time they would ask about the authenticity such questions as:
• Does it linguistically reflect the words of Muhammad (SalAllaho Alahi WaAlehi Wasalam), in his
vocabulary?
• Does the vocabulary include terms used by clergy but never by Muhammad (SalAllaho Alahi
WaAlehi Wasalam) himself (for example, the word Sunnah)?
• Is it the kind of matter or thing which we can reasonably believe Muhammad (SalAllaho Alahi
WaAlehi Wasalam) to have said?
Technical terms:.
Marfu: A hadith, whose sanad leads to the Holy Prophet (SalAllaho Alahi WaAlehi Wasalam). .
Mawquf: A hadith, whose sanad ends with a Sahabi (Radi Allah Anhu). .
Qudsi: A hadith, whose sanad leads to the Holy Prophet (SalAllaho Alahi WaAlehi Wasalam) and
the Prophet (SalAllaho Alahi WaAlehi Wasalam), is reporting it from Allah (Subhanuwatala). .
Musnad: (Supported) The Scholar of hadith, Muhammad ibn Abdullah al-Hakim, defines a
musnad (supported) hadith as:
"A hadith which a traditionalist reports from his shaykh (i.e. teacher of hadith) from whom he is
known to have heard (i.e. studied) at a time of life suitable for learning, and similarly in turn for
each shaykh (i.e. teacher of hadith) until the isnad (i.e. chain of narrators) reaches a well known
Sahaba, who in turn reports from the Prophet Muhammad (SalAllaho Alahi WaAlehi Wasalam)."
As such, a musnad hadith is one where each narrator of a hadith reports from someone he is
known to have studied hadith from. This will continue until it includes a Sahaba who in turn
reports it directly from the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SalAllaho Alahi WaAlehi Wasalam). .
Muttasil: (Uninterrupted) It means that the hadith has an uninterrupted isnad. Not only does it
mean that the transmitters need to have lived at the same date, it must be know that they have
met each other. .
Mursal: (Hurried) If the Sahaba link between a Successor (tabi'i) and the Holy Prophet
Muhammad (SalAllaho Alahi WaAlehi Wasalam) is missing; the hadith is mursal (hurried), e.g.,
when a Successor says, "The Prophet said ..." without mentioning the Sahabi's name.
Ahaad: (Singles) This means that the narration has been transmitted by only one narrator at
some point in the chain. Therefore such ahadith are not as authoritative as the mutawatir ones
which have multiple narrators at each chain in the narration, and therefore multiple chains of
narrators, but are still thought to be acceptable. Some Muslim Scholars have argued that many
ahaad hadith are in fact are mutawatir (Significant) in meaning and are sufficient for use in Islamic
doctrine and jurisprudence, although others have argued that acceptance relies on the fulfillment
of certain pre-conditions related to the narration.
,
Shadhdh: (Irregular) According to al-Shafi'i, a Shadhdh hadith is one which is reported by a
trustworthy person but goes against the narration of a person more reliable than him. It does not
include a hadith which is unique in its contents and is not narrated by someone else.
,
Munqati: (Broken) If an isnad lacks the Sahaba link, it is called a mursal (Hurried). However, if it is
broken somewhere else, it is called munqati. A hadith that seems to be muttasil (Uninterrupted),
but one of the reporters is known to have never heard ahadith from his immediate authority, even
though they lived at the same time, the isnad is munqati
Categories of Ahadith:
Among the early Scholars, mostly of the first two centuries, ahadith were classified into two
categories Sahih (authentic) and da`if (Weak). At-Tirmidhi the author of "Sunan at-Tirmidhi" was
to be the first to distinguish hasan (Good) from da`if (Weak). This is why earlier Scholar's and
jurists such as Ahmad bin Hanbal, who seemed to argue on the basis of da`if ahadith sometimes,
were in fact basing their argument on the ahadith which were later to be known as hasan, (al-
Dhahabi, p. 27.). The categories of hadith known today are Mutawatir (Consecutive), Sahih
(Authentic), Hasan (Sound, Good) and da'if (Weak), which are used by all the Scholar's and
Imam's of hadith. As well as these there are subcategories which exist within these categories.
Any affirmation takes precedence upon negation (in matters of reportage), according to Ibn Ĥajar
al-Haytami, Fatāwā al-Ĥadīthiyyah, pg.129. From this we can see that if there are two ahadith of
the same classification but one opposing an action and one confirming it is the one confirming the
action which will take precedence.
,
Mutawatir: A hadith is said to be Mutawatir if it was reported by a significant, though unspecified,
number of narrators at each level in the chain of narration, thus reaching the succeeding
generation through multiple chains of narration leading back to its source. This provides
confirmation that the hadith is authentically attributed to its source at a level above reasonable
doubt. This is due to its being beyond historical possibility that narrators could have conspired to
forge a narration.
,
Sahih: Ibn al-Salah, in his Muqaddimah, defines a Sahih hadith precisely by saying:
A Sahih hadith is the one which has a continuous isnad, made up of reporters of trustworthy
memory from similar authorities, and which is found to be free from any irregularities (i.e. in the
text) or defects (i.e. in the isnad)."
,
Hasan: Ibn al-Salah classifies hasan into two categories:
1. One with an isnad containing a reporter who is mastur ("screened", i.e. no prominent person
reported from him) but is not totally careless in his reporting, provided that a similar text is
reported through another isnad as well;
2. One with an isnad containing a reporter who is known to be truthful and reliable, but is a
degree less in his preservation/memory of hadith in comparison to the reporters of Sahih ahadith.
In both categories, Ibn al-Salah requires that the hadith be free of any Shadhdh (irregularities).
(an-Nawawi, Muqaddimah, p. 43.)According to at-Tirmidhi and Ibn al-Salah, several da'if (weak)
ahadith may mutually support each other to the level of hasan (good).
,
Da'if: A hadith which fails to reach the status of hasan is da'if. Usually, the weakness is one of
discontinuity in the isnad, in which case the hadith could be mursal or munqati, according to the
precise nature of the discontinuity, or one of a reporter having a disparaged character, such as
due to his telling lies, excessive mistakes, opposition to the narration of more reliable sources, or
ambiguity surrounding his person. It is in other words a hadith that has weakness in its chain of
narrators; however the actual text maybe regarded similar to a sahih hadith.
It should be remembered that the category of da'if is regarded as a hadith of the Holy Prophet
(SalAllaho Alahi WaAlehi Wasalam), however a sanad or matn classified as maudhu (fabricated)
is not a hadith at all but a fabrication. It should be noted that some uneducated people make the
statement that a hadith is da'if, hence it is a fabrication. These people should refrain from
spreading "fabrications" themselves. There is a distinction between da'if (weak) and maudhu
(fabrication), da'if is a hadith with a weak chain of narrators; on the other hand maudhu is not
even considered a hadith but is totally made up. Consequently people should refrain from making
such ill-informed statements.Rulings on Da'if Ahadith:
There are 3 stances upon the matter of accepting or rejecting da'if (weak) ahadith:
1. The weakest position concerning da'if ahadith is that it should be rejected outright and not
acted upon either in Ahqam (Rules), Amal (Actions) or Fazail (Benefits).
The reason this is the weakest position is that no great Imam, Muhaddith or Scholar has held this
view. The followers of this attitude present an example that Imam Bukhari and Muslim did not
include da'if ahadith in their Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim; hence they must not have accepted
da'if ahadith. This argument falls apart at the first hurdle. The names that Imam Bukhari and
Muslim kept of their books was "Sahih", if someone names their book 'al-Jaami al-Sahih' and puts
da'if ahadith in it, what type of logic is that?
Ibn al-Salah and Imam Nawawi in their respective works write that Imam Bukhari and Muslim left
out a greater number of ahadith than they included in their "Sahih's". Imam Bukhari memorized
around 100,000 Sahih ahadith yet only recorded about 3,000 (Without repetition) in his book,
'Sahih al Bukhari', leaving out 97,000. Also it is apparent if you could find a Sahih hadith on a
topic why would you record a da'if one? The hadith referred to in this context is the isnad which
the respective Imam's had memorized and not the actual texts.
2. The second is the opposite extreme, of accepting da'if ahadith in Ahqam (Rules), Amaal
(Actions) and Fazail (Benefits) if no sahih or hasan ahadith are available. This stance is stronger
than the first.
,
Allama Ibn Taymiyyah writes in his Majmoo' al-Fatawa that Imam Abu Dawood and Imam Ahmed
bin Hanbal hold this stance. Abdullah ibn Ahmad (Son of Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal) relates that he
heard from his father that da'if ahadith are greater than an opinion given by someone, where
there is no sahih or hasan hadith available.
• Imam Malik.
• Imam Nasai.
• Imam Nawawi relates in his book that Imam Shafi'i holds this view.
3. This final group consist of the majority of Imam's and Scholars, who hold the view that da'if
ahadith, can be used in Fazail (Benefits) but not in distinguishing between Halaal/Haraam and
Ahqam (Rules). This includes:
The detailed information on the calculation of Zakat and the Masah of the neck (Wiping the back
of the neck) during wudu, are among many actions we undertake and the information obtained for
these actions comes from da'if ahadith.
An overwhelming majority of the scholars accept da'if ahadith but argue that it cannot be used in
certain circumstances i.e. when dealing with Halaal or Haraam issues and during the formulation
of Islamic law, da'if ahadith may not be incorporated into it. However there are some scholars, like
Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal, who say that a da'if hadith should be given preference above an
opinion in matters of law where there does not exist a ruling or hadith reaching the level of sahih
(authentic) and hasan (good).
=============================================================
But Mostly Shuru ki 3 Conditions ko Satisfy Karny Wali Hadith Sahih kehlaati hay... Q k wo Sabit
ho jati hay....
2. Usul ul Hadith aur Aam Zuban main "Sahih" ka Matlab Different hay...
Sahih Say Murad Urdu Wala Sahih ya Ghalat nahi hota.. Balky yeh Usul ul Hadith ki ek technical
Term hay ...
Is liay Hadith Apni Sanad k Itbaar say 3 Darjy ki hoti hay..
1. Sahih.
2. Hasan.
3. Daif (Weak) Jab k Weak narration bhi hadith hi hoti hay.. koi Ghari hui cheez nahi hoti...
Jab k jo Fabricated Narrations hoti hain unko Usul ul Hadith main Daif nahi Balky MAUDU
(FABRICATED/Fake) Kaha jata hay...
So Nateeja yeh Nikla k Jab Hum kehty hain k Hadith Sahih nahi hay..
To Wo Hasan bhi ho skti hay .. aur Weak bhi ho skti hay !!
Iska Hargiz matlab yeh nahi hota k Siray say wo Hadith hi nahi......
Ab Rahi baat..
Kya Sia Sittah Ki saari hadeesay sahi hai?
Han magar Sunan Ibn e Majah main koi 20 k Qareeb Aysi Ahadith hain jin main weakness kafi
sakht hay..... !!
Jab k Sunan Ibn e Majah say zyada Qawi kitab Muwatta Imam Maalik hay..
Phir Musnad Ahmad Bin Hambal jo k kam o baish 25,000 Ahadith ka Zakheera hay.. us main ek
Hadith bhi Fabricated nahi hay !
majority Sahih Ya hasan hain au baazon main thori si weakness hay but still wo Hadith hi hain !
So..
Akhir main is baat k Akhir main bht khas baat Samjh lain...
Sehat ka Hukam Kitab dykh kar nahi ata.. k Fulan kitab main hy to Sahih hogi.. Balky sehat ka
Hukam Hadith ki Sanad dykh kar ata hay..
Ab wo Hadith Chahy sihah Sitta main ho ya na ho !
Sihah Sitta main repetition nikal dain to Kul Ahadith ki Tadaad 12,000-14,000 Tak Hay....
Jab k Is Waqt kam o Baish 2 3 Lakh Ahadith ka Zakheera hamary pas Maujood hay !!
Jo Dusri Kutub ma hain !
Like Musnad Ahmad, Musnad Ishaaq Bin Rahwiyyah, Musannaf Ibn e Abi Shaibah, Musannaf
Abdul Razzaq, Jami Ma'mar Bin Rashid, Sunan Nasaai Al Kubra, Mustadrak Imam Haakim,
Sunan Imam Darmi, Sunan Imam Dar Al Qutuni, Bayhaqi ki Sunans, aur Tabraani ki Majam AL
Kabeer, Majam Al Ausath, Majam As Sagheer, wagyra wagyra !
So Yeh nahi kehna chahiay k Sihah Sitta main ho to tab hi Maanun ga.. ya k Sihah Sitta say
Dikhai Tab maanon ga..
Aysi Baat kisi bhi Muhaddith nain nahi ki.. aur na hi karny ka Jawaaz hay !
