It is important to question what
happens to the credibility and purpose of a 'religious' corpus if it is
found to have contradictions or discrepancies within them.
The Quran provides a succinct response

"Then do they not ponder consider / meditate upon / research intently /
study the Quran? And if it had been from other than God, surelythey(would
have) found in it much causes for disagreement / dispute
/ incongruity / discrepancies / contradictions ('ikh'tilafan')"
Why do so many well meaning Muslims upon ardent research, begin to question the authenticity of the
Ahadith corpus? Why has Hadith 'authenticity' and 'authority' always remained
an area of contention in both classical and modern scholarship?
The following video is a harrowing reminder of the damage questionable Ahadith
can cause when they are used against uninitiated Muslims, by those ardently
critical of Islam.
If the above video has
given the reader serious cause for concern, please consult the
following articles and the 'Quran' section of the website.
Albeit, those
who are proficient with Arabic will be at an advantage when scrutinising
Hadith sources from the early Arabic texts, this should not deter those
relying on translations to obtain the jist of the narrative.
However, a
deeper study of Ahadith provenance, development and analysis (matn and
sanad), is highly recommended. This is with a view to understand better why
the authenticity of the Ahadith corpus has always attracted criticism by
areas of scholarship.
BUKHARI AHADITH
PROPHET
FONDLING HIS WIVES DURING MENSES (Astaghfurullah)
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 1, Book
6, Number 299:
Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Aswad:
(on the authority of his
father) 'Aisha said: "Whenever Allah's Apostle wanted to fondle anyone of us
during her periods (menses), he used to order her to put on an Izar and
start fondling her." 'Aisha added, "None of you could control his sexual
desires as the Prophet could."
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 1,
Book 6, Number 298:
Narrated 'Aisha:
The Prophet and I used to take a
bath from a single pot while we were Junub. During the menses, he used to order
me to put on an Izar (dress worn below the waist) and used to fondle me. While
in Itikaf, he used to bring his head near me and I would wash it while I used to
be in my periods (menses).
Comment:
Please compare this to the
Quranic surah:
002:222
"And they ask you about menstruation.
Say: It is a discomfort; therefore keep aloof from the women during the
menstrual discharge and do not go near them until they have become clean;
then when they have cleansed themselves, go in to them as Allah has
commanded you; surely Allah loves those who turn much (to Him), and He loves
those who purify themselves."

BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 7, Book
62, Number 172:
Narrated Jabir:
I was with Allah's Apostle in a
Ghazwa, and when we returned, I wanted to hurry, while riding a slow camel. A
rider came behind me. I looked back and saw that the rider was Allah's Apostle .
He said (to me), "What makes you in such a hurry?" I replied, "I am newly
married." He said, "Did you marry a virgin or a matron?" I replied, "(Not a
virgin but) a matron." He said, "Why didn't you marry a young girl with whom you
could play and who could play with you?" Then when we approached (Medina) and
were going to enter (it), the Prophet said, "Wait till you enter (your homes) at
night (in the first part of the night) so that the ladies with unkempt hair may
comb their hair, and those whose husbands have been absent (for a long time) may
shave their pubic hair." (The sub-narrator, Hashim said: A reliable narrator
told me that the Prophet added in this Hadith: "(Seek to beget) children!
Children, O O Jabir!")

again and washed his feet (up to the ankles).
PROPHET BEING SHOWN TO
MAKE CRUDE COMPARISONS - POSSIBLE RACISM?

and obey, your ruler even if he was an Ethiopian (black) slave whose head

back; and when the Iqama is pronounced he again takes to his heels and when it
is finished, he again comes back and continues reminding the praying person of
things that he used not to remember when not in prayer till he forgets how much
he has prayed." Abu Salama bin 'Abdur-Rahman said, "If anyone of you has such a

Narrated Abdullah:

of) Bani Israel used to take bath naked (all together) looking at each other.
The Prophet Moses used to take a bath alone. They said, 'By Allah! Nothing
prevents Moses from taking a bath with us except that he has a scrotal hernia.'
So once Moses went out to take a bath and put his clothes over a stone and then
that stone ran away with his clothes. Moses followed that stone saying, "My
clothes, O stone! My clothes, O stone! till the people of Bani Israel saw him
and said, 'By Allah, Moses has got no defect in his body. Moses took his clothes
and began to beat the stone." Abu Huraira added, "By Allah! There are still six
or seven marks present on the stone from that excessive beating."
Narrated Abu Huraira: The
Prophet said, "When the Prophet Job (Aiyub) was taking a bath naked, golden
locusts began to fall on him. Job started collecting them in his clothes. His
Lord addressed him, 'O Job! Haven't I given you enough so that you are not in
need of them.' Job replied, 'Yes!' By Your Honor (power)! But I cannot dispense
with Your Blessings.' "
PROPHET ANSWERING CALL OF NATURE

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Solomon (the
son of) David said, 'Tonight I will sleep with seventy ladies each of whom will
conceive a child who will be a knight fighting for "Allah's Cause.' His
companion said, 'If Allah will.' But Solomon did not say so; therefore none of
those women got pregnant except one who gave birth to a half child." The Prophet
further said, "If the Prophet Solomon had said it (i.e. 'If Allah will') he
would have begotten children who would have fought in Allah's Cause." Shuaib and
Ibn Abi Az-Zinad said, "Ninety (women) is more correct (than seventy)."
PROPHET OGLING AT A WOMAN OFFERING HERSELF IN MARRIAGE, NAKEDNESS & BARGAINING
(Astagfurullah)
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 7, Book
62, Number 24:
Narrated Sahl bin Sad As-Sa'idi:
A woman came to Allah's Apostle
and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have come to give you myself in marriage
(without Mahr)." Allah's Apostle looked at her. He looked at her carefully
and fixed his glance on her and then lowered his head. When the lady saw
that he did not say anything, she sat down. A man from his companions got up and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! If you are not in need of her, then marry her to me."
The Prophet said, "Have you got anything to offer?" The man said, "No, by Allah,
O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet said (to him), "Go to your family and see if you
have something." The man went and returned, saying, "No, by Allah, I have not
found anything." Allah's Apostle said, "(Go again) and look for something, even
if it is an iron ring." He went again and returned, saying, "No, by Allah, O
Allah's Apostle! I could not find even an iron ring, but this is my Izar (waist
sheet)." He had no rida. He added, "I give half of it to her." Allah's Apostle
said, "What will she do with your Izar? If you wear it, she will be naked, and
if she wears it, you will be naked." So that man sat down for a long while and
then got up (to depart). When Allah's Apostle saw him going, he ordered that he
be called back. When he came, the Prophet said, "How much of the Quran do you
know?" He said, "I know such Sura and such Sura," counting them. The Prophet
said, "Do you know them by heart?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet said, "Go, I
marry her to you for that much of the Quran which you have."
The climate of Medina did not suit some people, so the Prophet ordered them
to follow his shepherd, i.e. his camels, and drink their milk and urine (as
a medicine). So they followed the shepherd that is the camels and drank
their milk and urine till their bodies became healthy. Then they killed the
shepherd and drove away the camels. When the news reached the Prophet he
sent some people in their pursuit. When they were brought, he cut their
hands and feet and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron.
WIVES
OF THE PROPHET PUTTING BOWLS UNDERNEATH THEIR PRIVATE PARTS WHEN BLEEDING IN MENSES
AND DURING PRAYER
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 1, Book
6, Number 306:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Once one of the wives of the
Prophet did Itikaf along with him and she was getting bleeding in between her
periods. She used to see the blood (from her private parts) and she would
perhaps put a dish under her for the blood. (The sub-narrator 'Ikrima added,
'Aisha once saw the liquid of safflower and said, "It looks like what so and so
used to have.")
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 1, Book
6, Number 307:
Narrated 'Aisha:
"One of the wives of Allah's
Apostle joined him in l'tikaf and she noticed blood and yellowish discharge
(from her private parts) and put a dish under her when she prayed."
KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOUR (Which one is it?)
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 9, Book 88, Number 231:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "The Hour will
not be established till a man passes by a grave of somebody and says, 'Would
that I were in his place.' "
________________
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 9, Book 88, Number 232:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour
will not be established till the buttocks of the women of the tribe of Daus move
while going round Dhi-al-Khalasa." Dhi-al-Khalasa was the idol of the Daus tribe
which they used to worship in the Pre Islamic Period of ignorance.
________________
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 9, Book 88, Number 233:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour
will not be established till a man from Qahtan appears, driving the people with
his stick."
________________
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 9, Book 88, Number 234:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour
will not be established till a fire will come out of the land of Hijaz, and it
will throw light on the necks of the camels at Busra."
Comment:
The Quran is absolutely clear that
no-one
has knowledge of the hour except for God. Note the time specific nature of
the above descriptions, along with the same narrator seemingly having
different accounts attributed to him.
DATE
PALM STEM CRIED LIKE A PREGNANT SHE CAMEL
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 2, Book 13, Number 41:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
The Prophet used to stand by a
stem of a date-palm tree (while delivering a sermon). When the pulpit was placed
for him we heard that stem crying like a pregnant she-camel till the Prophet got
down from the pulpit and placed his hand over it.
JURAIJ
- MAKES BABY SPEAK
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 2, Book 22, Number 297m:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "A woman
called her son while he was in his hermitage and said, 'O Juraij' He said, 'O
Allah, my mother (is calling me) and (I am offering) my prayer (what shall I
do)?' She again said, 'O Juraij!' He said again, 'O Allah ! My mother (is
calling me) and (I am offering) my prayer (what shall I do)?' She again said, 'O
Juraij' He again said, 'O Allah! My mother (is calling me) and (I am offering)
my prayer. (What shall I do?)' She said, 'O Allah! Do not let Juraij die till he
sees the faces of prostitutes.' A shepherdess used to come by his hermitage for
grazing her sheep and she gave birth to a child. She was asked whose child that
was, and she replied that it was from Juraij and that he had come out from his
hermitage. Juraij said, 'Where is that woman who claims that her child is from
me?' (When she was brought to him along with the child), Juraij asked the child,
'O Babus, who is your father?' The child replied, 'The shepherd.' "
See also: Volume 3, Book 43,
Number 662:
Comment:
A baby speaks on the command
of Juraij and knows who his mother slept with (a shepherd) to conceive him.
Why is the status and power of Juraij being so elevated? Ibn Juraij is a
narrator and also appears as a sub narrator quoted by other narrators. See
Volume 1 Number 167 (as himself); Volume 1 Number 545 (as himself); Volume 1
Number 769; Volume 2 Number 629; Volume 3 Number 466; Volume 3 Number 550;
Volume 5 Number 613; Volume 7 Number 742
A
WOMAN'S INDEPENDENCE IS LIMITED
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 7, Book
62, Number 120:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "A woman
should not fast (optional fasts) except with her husband's permission if he is
at home (staying with her)."
Comment: Many Ahadith which
seem to have a bias against women seem to be attributed to Abu Hurairah. A
study is highly recommended.
WOMAN
CAN'T SAY NO TO SEX UNLESS SHE WANTS TO BE CURSED
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 7, Book
62, Number 121:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "If a man
Invites his wife to sleep with him and she refuses to come to him, then the
angels send their curses on her till morning."
Comment:Once again, Abu Hurairah

Another similar hadith
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 7, Book
62, Number 122:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "If a woman
spends the night deserting her husband's bed (does not sleep with him), then the
angels send their curses on her till she comes back (to her husband)."
ANOTHER ANTI-WOMAN HADITH
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 7, Book
62, Number 124:
Narrated Usama:
The Prophet said, "I stood at
the gate of Paradise and saw that the majority of the people who entered it were
the poor, while the wealthy were stopped at the gate (for the accounts). But the
companions of the Fire were ordered to be taken to the Fire. Then I stood at the
gate of the Fire and saw that the majority of those who entered it were women."
A WIFE
CANNOT SAY NO WHEN ASKED FOR SEX (UNLESS SHE WANTS TO BE CURSED)
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 7, Book
62, Number 121:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "If a man

angels send their curses on her till morning."
SATAN
TIES KNOTS IN THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 4, Book
54, Number 491:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "During
your sleep, Satan knots three knots at the back of the head of each of you, and
he breathes the following words at each knot, 'The night is, long, so keep on
sleeping,' If that person wakes up and celebrates the praises of Allah, then one
knot is undone, and when he performs ablution the second knot is undone, and
when he prays, all the knots are undone, and he gets up in the morning lively
and gay, otherwise he gets up dull and gloomy. "
NO
REGARD FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN WAR
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 4, Book
52, Number 256:
Narrated As-Sab bin Jaththama:
The Prophet passed by me at a
place called Al-Abwa or Waddan, and was asked whether it was permissible to
attack the pagan warriors at night with the probability of exposing their women
and children to danger. The Prophet replied, "They (i.e. women and children)
are from them (i.e. pagans)." I also heard the Prophet saying, "The institution
of Hima is invalid except for Allah and His Apostle."
·Hima = protected place
COITUS INTERRUPTUS
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 7, Book
62, Number 137:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
We got female captives in the
war booty and we used to do coitus interruptus with them. So we asked Allah's
Apostle about it and he said, "Do you really do that?" repeating the question
thrice, "There is no soul that is destined to exist but will come into
existence, till the Day of Resurrection."
STONING
SHE-MONKEYS FOR COMMITTING ADULTERY
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 5, Book
58, Number 188:
Narrated 'Amr bin Maimun:
During the pre-Islamic period of
ignorance I saw a she-monkey surrounded by a number of monkeys. They were all
stoning it, because it had committed illegal sexual intercourse. I too, stoned
it along with them.
PROPHET WAS POISONED
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 5, Book
59, Number 551:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
When Khaibar was conquered, a
(cooked) sheep containing poison, was given as a present to Allah's Apostle.
COMPANION'S SARCASM - 'SEMEN
DRIBBLING FROM OUR MALE ORGANS'
The Prophet (along with his companions)
reached Mecca in the morning of the fourth of Dhul-Hijja assuming Ihram for
Hajj only. So when we arrived at Mecca, the Prophet ordered us to change our
intentions of the Ihram for 'Umra and that we could finish our Ihram after
performing the 'Umra and could go to our wives (for sexual intercourse). The
people began talking about that. Jabir said surprisingly, "Shall we go to
Mina while semen is dribbling from our male organs?" Jabir moved his hand
while saying so. When this news reached the Prophet he delivered a sermon
and said, "I have been informed that some peoples were saying so and so; By
Allah I fear Allah more than you do, and am more obedient to Him than you.
If I had known what I know now, I would not have brought the Hadi
(sacrifice) with me and had the Hadi not been with me, I would have finished
the Ihram." At that Suraqa bin Malik stood up and asked "O Allah's Apostle!
Is this permission for us only or is it forever?" The Prophet replied, "It
is forever." In the meantime 'Ali bin Abu Talib came from Yemen and was
saying Labbaik for what the Prophet has intended. (According to another man,
'Ali was saying Labbaik for Hajj similar to Allah's Apostle's). The Prophet
told him to keep on the Ihram and let him share the Hadi with him.
HATRED
OF DOGS - EVEN KILL THEM
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 4, Book
54, Number 539:
Narrated Abu Talha:
The Prophet said, "Angels do not
enter a house which has either a dog or a picture in it."
________________
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 4, Book
54, Number 540:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle ordered that the
dogs should be killed.
________________
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 4, Book
54, Number 541:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "If
somebody keeps a dog, he loses one Qirat (of the reward) of his good deeds
everyday, except if he keeps it for the purpose of agriculture or for the
protection of livestock. "
DOG
CONTRADICTION: PROSTITUTE FORGIVEN FOR HELPING A DOG & DOGS ROAMED IN MOSQUES
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 4, Book
54, Number 538:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "A
prostitute was forgiven by Allah, because, passing by a panting dog near a well
and seeing that the dog was about to die of thirst, she took off her shoe, and
tying it with her head-cover she drew out some water for it. So, Allah forgave
her because of that."
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 1, Book 4, Number 174:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "A man saw a dog eating mud
from (the severity of) thirst. So, that man took a shoe (and filled it) with
water and kept on pouring the water for the dog till it quenched its thirst. So
Allah approved of his deed and made him to enter Paradise." And narrated Hamza
bin 'Abdullah: My father said. "During the lifetime of Allah's Apostle, the dogs
used to urinate, and pass through the mosques (come and go), nevertheless they
never used to sprinkle water on it (urine of the dog.)"
Comment: The above Abu Hurairah hadith variant
now references a man and not a prostitute. Secondly, the hadith now
expresses that dogs seem to roam around freely in the Prophet's mosque and
urinate.
It was mentioned before the
Prophet that there was a man who slept the night till morning (after sunrise).
The Prophet said, "He is a man in whose ears (or ear) Satan had urinated."
________________
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 2, Book
21, Number 245:
Narrated 'Abdullah :
A person was mentioned before
the Prophet (p.b.u.h) and he was told that he had kept on sleeping till morning
and had not got up for the prayer. The Prophet said, "Satan urinated in his
ears."
PUBIC
HAIR SHAVING FOR HUSBAND
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 7, Book
62, Number 16:
Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah:
While we were returning from a
Ghazwa (Holy Battle) with the Prophet, I started driving my camel fast, as it
was a lazy camel A rider came behind me and pricked my camel with a spear he had
with him, and then my camel started running as fast as the best camel you may
see. Behold! The rider was the Prophet himself. He said, 'What makes you in such
a hurry?" I replied, I am newly married " He said, "Did you marry a virgin or a
matron? I replied, "A matron." He said, "Why didn't you marry a young girl so
that you may play with her and she with you?" When we were about to enter
(Medina), the Prophet said, "Wait so that you may enter (Medina) at night so
that the lady of unkempt hair may comb her hair and the one whose husband has
been absent may shave her pubic region.
JESUS
DESCRIBED AS RED FACED AS IF HE HAD JUST COME OUT OF A BATHROOM (Astagfurullah)
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 4, Book
55, Number 647:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "I met Moses
on the night of my Ascension to heaven." The Prophet then described him saying,
as I think, "He was a tall person with lank hair as if he belonged to the people
of the tribe of Shanu's.' The Prophet further said, "I met Jesus." The Prophet
described him saying, "He was one of moderate height and was red-faced as if he
had just come out of a bathroom. I saw Abraham whom I resembled more than any of
his children did." The Prophet further said, "(That night) I was given two cups;
one full of milk and the other full of wine. I was asked to take either of them
which I liked, and I took the milk and drank it. On that it was said to me, 'You
have taken the right path (religion). If you had taken the wine, your (Muslim)
nation would have gone astray."
"The Prophet said, 'The best
alms is that which is given when one is rich, and a giving hand is better than a
taking one, and you should start first to support your dependents.' A wife says,
'You should either provide me with food or divorce me.' A slave says, 'Give me
food and enjoy my service." A son says, "Give me food; to whom do you leave me?"
The people said, "O Abu Huraira! Did you hear that from Allah's Apostle ?" He
said, "No, it is from my own self."
Comment:
It is interesting to note
that the hadith initiates on the authority of the Prophet and ends on the
authority of Abu Hurairah. Furthermore, if the latter statement is accepted,
how is one to reconcile the hadith of companions being passed as Prophetic
traditions in a corpus?

The Prophet said, "Whoever

it will break, and if you leave it, it will remain crooked, so I urge you to
take care of the women."
The Prophet said, "I stood at
the gate of Paradise and saw that the majority of the people who entered it were

Qasab in Paradise .
RESEMBLANCE OF A CHILD DEPENDS ON WHO DISCHARGES FIRST DURING SEX
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 4, Book
55, Number 546:
Narrated Anas:
When 'Abdullah bin Salam heard
the arrival of the Prophet at Medina, he came to him and said, "I am going to
ask you about three things which nobody knows except a prophet: What is the
first portent of the Hour? What will be the first meal taken by the people of
Paradise? Why does a child resemble its father, and why does it resemble its
maternal uncle" Allah's Apostle said, "Gabriel has just now told me of their
answers." 'Abdullah said, "He (i.e. Gabriel), from amongst all the angels, is
the enemy of the Jews." Allah's Apostle said, "The first portent of the Hour
will be a fire that will bring together the people from the east to the west;
the first meal of the people of Paradise will be Extra-lobe (caudate lobe) of
fish-liver. As for the
resemblance of the child to its parents: If a man has sexual intercourse with
his wife and gets discharge first, the child will resemble the father, and if
the woman gets discharge first, the child will resemble her."
On that 'Abdullah bin Salam said, "I testify that you are the Apostle of Allah."
'Abdullah bin Salam further said, "O Allah's Apostle! The Jews are liars, and if
they should come to know about my conversion to Islam before you ask them (about
me), they would tell a lie about me." The Jews came to Allah's Apostle and
'Abdullah went inside the house. Allah's Apostle asked (the Jews), "What kind of
man is 'Abdullah bin Salam amongst you?" They replied, "He is the most learned
person amongst us, and the best amongst us, and the son of the best amongst us."
Allah's Apostle said, "What do you think if he embraces Islam (will you do as he
does)?" The Jews said, "May Allah save him from it." Then 'Abdullah bin Salam
came out in front of them saying, "I testify that None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah." Thereupon they
said, "He is the evilest among us, and the son of the evilest amongst us," and
continued talking badly of him.
Comment:
Note above - The earliest extant
source of the above narrative is possibly Ibn Ishaq’s Sira that has been
transmitted via Al Bakkai and Ibn Hisham.
THE LIFE OF MUHAMMAD -
IBN ISHAQ
'Abdullah b.
'Abdu'l-Rahman b. Abu Husayn al-Makki told me from Shahr b. Hausab
al-Ash'ari that a number of Jewish rabbis came to the apostle and
asked him to answer four questions, saying that id he did so they
would follow him and testify to his truth, and believe in him. He
got them to swear a solemn oath that if he gave them the right
answers they would acknowledge his truth and they began: 'Why does a
boy resemble his mother when the semen comes from the man?' (1) 'I
adjure you by God and His favours towards the children of Israel, do
you not know that man's semen is white and thick while a woman's is
yellow and thin, and the likeness goes with that which comes to the
top?' [1]

of Muhammad: A Translation of Ishaq's Sirat Rasul Allah, Oxford University
Press, Page 255
The Prophet said, "A group of
Israelites were lost. Nobody knows what they did. But I do not see them except
that they were cursed and changed into rats, for if you put the milk of a
she-camel in front of a rat, it will not drink it, but if the milk of a sheep is
put in front of it, it will drink it." I told this to Ka'b who asked me, "Did
you hear it from the Prophet ?" I said, "Yes." Ka'b asked me the same question
several times.; I said to Ka'b. "Do I read the Torah? (i.e. I tell you this from
the Prophet.)"
Comment:
There is a dangerous inference here. Evidence is cited at the time of narration
with regards the milk of a she-camel. As the evidence is contemporaneous to
the narration, the argument must be inferred as applying to all rats.
PROPHET UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF MAGIC
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 4, Book
54, Number 490:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Magic was worked on the Prophet
so that he began to fancy that he was doing a thing which he was not actually
doing. One day he invoked (Allah) for a long period and then said, "I feel that
Allah has inspired me as how to cure myself. Two persons came to me (in my
dream) and sat, one by my head and the other by my feet. One of them asked the
other, "What is the ailment of this man?" The other replied, 'He has been
bewitched" The first asked, 'Who has bewitched him?' The other replied, 'Lubaid
bin Al-A'sam.' The first one asked, 'What material has he used?' The other
replied, 'A comb, the hair gathered on it, and the outer skin of the pollen of
the male date-palm.' The first asked, 'Where is that?' The other replied, 'It is
in the well of Dharwan.' " So, the Prophet went out towards the well and then
returned and said to me on his return, "Its date-palms (the date-palms near the
well) are like the heads of the devils." I asked, "Did you take out those things
with which the magic was worked?" He said, "No, for I have been cured by Allah
and I am afraid that this action may spread evil amongst the people." Later on
the well was filled up with earth.
Blog comment: Even worse, there
are several hadith which tell us that the prophet was sometimes under an
enchantment which made him imagine things that were not so and tell untruths.
PROPHET IMAGINING THINGS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF MAGIC
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 4, Book
53, Number 400:
Narrated Aisha:
Once the Prophet was bewitched
so that he began to imagine that he had done a thing which in fact he had not

PROPHET UNDER MAGIC AND CONFUSED ABOUT SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH HIS WIVES
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 7, Book
71, Number 660:
Narrated Aisha:
Magic was worked on Allah's
Apostle so that he used to think that he had sexual relations with his wives
while he actually had not (Sufyan said: That is the hardest kind of magic as it
has such an effect). Then one day he said, "O 'Aisha do you know that Allah has
instructed me concerning the matter I asked Him about? Two men came to me and
one of them sat near my head and the other sat near my feet. The one near my
head asked the other. What is wrong with this man?' The latter replied the is
under the effect of magic The first one asked, Who has worked magic on him?' The
other replied Labid bin Al-A'sam, a man from Bani Zuraiq who was an ally of the
Jews and was a hypocrite.' The first one asked, What material did he use)?' The
other replied, 'A comb and the hair stuck to it.' The first one asked, 'Where
(is that)?' The other replied. 'In a skin of pollen of a male date palm tree
kept under a stone in the well of Dharwan' '' So the Prophet went to that well
and took out those things and said "That was the well which was shown to me (in
a dream) Its water looked like the infusion of Henna leaves and its date-palm
trees looked like the heads of devils." The Prophet added, "Then that thing was
taken out' I said (to the Prophet ) "Why do you not treat yourself with Nashra?"
He said, "Allah has cured me; I dislike to let evil spread among my people."
PROPHET ALLOWED TO BURN PEOPLE WITH FIRE
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 4, Book
52, Number 259:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle sent us in a
mission (i.e. am army-unit) and said, "If you find so-and-so and so-and-so, burn
both of them with fire." When we intended to depart, Allah's Apostle said, "I
have ordered you to burn so-and-so and so-and-so, and it is none but Allah Who
punishes with fire, so, if you find them, kill them."

BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 4, Book
52, Number 286:
Narrated Salama bin Al-Akwa:
"An infidel spy came to the
Prophet while he was on a journey. The spy sat with the companions of the
Prophet and started talking and then went away. The Prophet said (to his
companions), 'Chase and kill him.' So, I killed him." The Prophet then gave him
the belongings of the killed spy (in addition to his share of the war booty).
SANCTION TO HAVE SEX WITH SLAVES AND TO USE COITUS INTERUPTUS
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 7, Book
62, Number 137:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
We got female captives in the
war booty and we used to do coitus interruptus with them. So we asked Allah's
Apostle about it and he said, "Do you really do that?" repeating the question
thrice, "There is no soul that is destined to exist but will come into
existence, till the Day of Resurrection."
PROPHET SHOWN TO HAVE NO MERCY
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 1,
Book 4, Number 234:
Narrated Abu Qilaba:
Anas said, "Some people of 'Ukl
or 'Uraina tribe came to Medina and its climate did not suit them. So the
Prophet ordered them to go to the herd of (Milch) camels and to drink their milk
and urine (as a medicine). So they went as directed and after they became
healthy, they killed the shepherd of the Prophet and drove away all the camels.
The news reached the Prophet early in the morning and he sent (men) in their
pursuit and they were captured and brought at noon. He then ordered to cut their
hands and feet (and it was done), and their eyes were branded with heated pieces
of iron, They were put in 'Al-Harra' and when they asked for water, no water was
given to them." Abu Qilaba said, "Those people committed theft and murder,
became infidels after embracing Islam and fought against Allah and His Apostle
."
Comment:
Please note the image
of the Prophet that
the Ahadith depicts. Contrast this with the character of the prophet that God
testifies in the Quran in verse 68:4
The Angel of Death was sent to
Moses when he came to Moses, Moses slapped him on the eye. The angel returned to
his Lord and said, "You have sent me to a Slave who does not want to die." Allah
said, "Return to him and tell him to put his hand on the back of an ox and for
every hair that will come under it, he will be granted one year of life." Moses
said, "O Lord! What will happen after that?" Allah replied, "Then death." Moses
said, "Let it come now." Moses then requested Allah to let him die close to the
Sacred Land so much so that he would be at a distance of a stone's throw from
it." Abu Huraira added, "Allah's Apostle said, 'If I were there, I would show
you his grave below the red sand hill on the side of the road."
Comments:
·How can anyone ward off
the angel of death once decreed by God?
·How can a mortal 'slap'
an angel made of no tangible embodiment?
·Is the will of a
prophet greater than God's will? (Astagfurullah)
Compare the
Ahadith report with the following Quranic verse:
006:061
"He is the Irresistible (watching) from
above over his worshippers and He sets guardians over you. At length when
death approaches one of you Our angels take his soul and they never fail in their duty"
PROPHETS WIVES ARGUE
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 3, Book
47, Number 755
Narrated ‘Urwa from ‘Aisha:
The wives of Allah's Apostle
were in two groups. One group consisted of 'Aisha, Hafsa, Safiyya and Sauda; and
the other group consisted of Um Salama and the other wives of Allah's Apostle.
The Muslims knew that Allah’s Apostle loved ‘Aisha, so if any of them had a gift
and wished to give to Allah's Apostle, he would delay it, till Allah’s Apostle
had come to ‘Aisha's home and then he would send his gift to Allah’s Apostle in
her home. The group of Um Salama discussed the matter together and decided that
Um Salama should request Allah's Apostle to tell the people to send their gifts
to him in whatever wife’s house he was. Um Salama told Allah’s Apostle of what
they had said, but he did not reply. Then they (those wives) asked Um Salama
about it. She said, "He did not say anything to me." They asked her to talk to
him again. She talked to him again when she met him on her day, but he gave no
reply. When they asked her, she replied that he had given no reply. They said to
her, "Talk to him till he gives you a reply." When it was her turn, she talked
to him again. He then said to her, "Do not hurt me regarding Aisha, AS THE
DIVINE INSPIRATIONS DO NOT COME TO ME ON ANY OF THE BEDS EXCEPT THAT OF AISHA."
On that Um Salama said, "I repent to Allah for hurting you." Then the group of
Um Salama called Fatima, the daughter of Allah’s Apostle and sent her to Allah’s
Apostle to say to him, "Your wives request to treat them and the daughter of Abu
Bakr ON EQUAL TERMS." go to him again but she refused. They then sent Zainab
bint Jahsh who went to him AND USED HARSH WORDS SAYING, "Your wives request you
TO TREAT THEM and the daughter of Ibn Abu Quhafa ON EQUAL TERMS." On that she
raised her voice AND ABUSED ‘Aisha TO HER FACE so much so that Allah’s Apostle
looked at ‘Aisha to see whether she would retort. ‘Aisha started replying to
Zainab till she silenced her. The Prophet then looked at ‘Aisha and said, "She
is really the daughter of Abu Bakr."
HADHRAT AISHA UPSET
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 6, Book
60, Number 311
Narrated Aisha:
I used to look down upon those
ladies who had given themselves to Allah’s Apostle and I used to say, "Can a
lady give herself (to a man)?" But when Allah revealed: "You (O Muhammad) can
postpone (the turn of) whom you will of them (your wives), and you may receive
any of them whom you will; and there is no blame on you if you invite one whose
turn you have set aside (temporarily)." (33.51) I said (to the Prophet), "I feel
that your Lord hastens in fulfilling your wishes and desires."
PROPHET ALLOWING KILLING THROUGH DECEPTION
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 5, Book
59, Number 369:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
Allah's Apostle said, "Who is
willing to kill Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?"
Thereupon Muhammad bin Maslama got up saying, "O Allah's Apostle! Would you like
that I kill him?" The Prophet said, "Yes," Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Then
allow me to say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab). "The Prophet said, "You
may say it." Then Muhammad bin Maslama went to Kab and said, "That man (i.e.
Muhammad demands Sadaqa (i.e. Zakat) from us, and he has troubled us, and I have
come to borrow something from you." On that, Kab said, "By Allah, you will get
tired of him!" Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Now as we have followed him, we do
not want to leave him unless and until we see how his end is going to be. Now we
want you to lend us a camel load or two of food." (Some difference between
narrators about a camel load or two.) Kab said, "Yes, (I will lend you), but you
should mortgage something to me." Muhammad bin Mas-lama and his companion said,
"What do you want?" Ka'b replied, "Mortgage your women to me." They said, "How
can we mortgage our women to you and you are the most handsome of the 'Arabs?"
Ka'b said, "Then mortgage your sons to me." They said, "How can we mortgage our
sons to you? Later they would be abused by the people's saying that so-and-so
has been mortgaged for a camel load of food. That would cause us great disgrace,
but we will mortgage our arms to you." Muhammad bin Maslama and his companion
promised Kab that Muhammad would return to him. He came to Kab at night along
with Kab's foster brother, Abu Na'ila. Kab invited them to come into his fort,
and then he went down to them. His wife asked him, "Where are you going at this
time?" Kab replied, "None but Muhammad bin Maslama and my (foster) brother Abu
Na'ila have come." His wife said, "I hear a voice as if dropping blood is from
him, Ka'b said. "They are none but my brother Muhammad bin Maslama and my foster
brother Abu Naila. A generous man should respond to a call at night even if
invited to be killed." Muhammad bin Maslama went with two men. (Some narrators
mention the men as 'Abu bin Jabr. Al Harith bin Aus and Abbad bin Bishr). So
Muhammad bin Maslama went in together with two men, and sail to them, "When Ka'b
comes, I will touch his hair and smell it, and when you see that I have got hold
of his head, strip him. I will let you smell his head." Kab bin Al-Ashraf came
down to them wrapped in his clothes, and diffusing perfume. Muhammad bin Maslama
said. " have never smelt a better scent than this. Ka'b replied. "I have got the
best 'Arab women who know how to use the high class of perfume." Muhammad bin
Maslama requested Ka'b "Will you allow me to smell your head?" Ka'b said, "Yes."
Muhammad smelt it and made his companions smell it as well. Then he requested
Ka'b again, "Will you let me (smell your head)?" Ka'b said, "Yes." When Muhammad
got a strong hold of him, he said (to his companions), "Get at him!" So they
killed him and went to the Prophet and informed him. (Abu Rafi) was killed after
Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf."
SAFIYA IS TAKEN FROM THE EXPEDITION OF KHAIBAR BY THE PROPHET AFTER HER HUSBAND
IS KILLED
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume
4, Book 52, Number 143:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet said to Abu
Talha, "Choose one of your boy servants to serve me in my expedition to
Khaibar." So, Abu Talha took me letting me ride behind him while I was a boy
nearing the age of puberty. I used to serve Allah's Apostle when he stopped
to rest. I heard him saying repeatedly, "O Allah! I seek refuge with You
from distress and sorrow, from helplessness and laziness, from miserliness
and cowardice, from being heavily in debt and from being overcome by men."
Then we reached Khaibar; and when Allah enabled him to conquer the Fort (of
Khaibar), the beauty of Safiya bint Huyai bin Akhtab was described to him.
Her husband had been killed while she was a bride. So Allah's Apostle
selected her for himself and took her along with him till we reached a place
called Sad-AsSahba,' where her menses were over and he took her for his
wife. Haris (a kind of dish) was served on a small leather sheet. Then
Allah's Apostle told me to call those who were around me. So, that was the
marriage banquet of Allah's Apostle and Safiya. Then we left for Medina. I
saw Allah's Apostle folding a cloak round the hump of the camel so as to
make a wide space for Safiya (to sit on behind him) He sat beside his camel
letting his knees for Safiya to put her feet on so as to mount the camel.
Then, we proceeded till we approached Medina; he looked at Uhud (mountain)
and said, "This is a mountain which loves us and is loved by us." Then he
looked at Medina and said, "O Allah! I make the area between its (i.e.
Medina's) two mountains a sanctuary as Abraham made Mecca a sanctuary. O
Allah! Bless them (i.e. the people of Medina) in their Mudd and Sa (i.e.
measures)."

...There came Dihya and he
said: Messenger of Allah, bestow upon me a girl out of the prisoners. He
said: Go and get any girl. He made a choice for Safiyya daughter of Huyayy
(b. Akhtab). There came a person to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him)
and said: Apostle of Allah, you have bestowed Safiyya bint Huyayy, the chief
of Quraiza and al-Nadir, upon Dihya and she is worthy of you
only. He said: Call him along with her. So he came along with her. When
Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) saw her he said: Take any other
woman from among the prisoners. He (the narrator) said: He (the Holy
Prophet) then granted her emancipation and married her. Thabit said to him:
Abu Hamza, how much dower did he (the Holy Prophet) give to her? He said: He
granted her freedom and then married her...
PROPHET'S WIFE
SAWDA'S WEIGHT ISSUE AND THE CALL OF NATURE
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 6, Book
60, Number 318
Narrated Aisha:
Sauda (the wife of the Prophet)
went out to answer the call of nature after it was made obligatory (for all the
Muslims ladies) to observe the veil. She was a fat huge lady, and everybody who
knew her before could recognize her. So ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab saw her and said,
"O Sauda! By Allah, you cannot hide yourself from us, so think of a way by which
you should not be recognized on going out." Sauda returned while Allah’s Apostle
was in my house taking his supper and a bone covered with meat was in his hand.
She entered and said, "O Allah’s Apostle! I went out to answer the call of
nature and 'Umar said to me so-and-so." Then Allah inspired him (the Prophet)
and when the state of inspiration was over and the bone was still in his hand as
he had not put in down, he said (to Sauda), "You (women) have been allowed to go

BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 4, Book
54, Number 495:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
The Prophet said, "If while you
are praying, somebody intends to pass in front of you, prevent him; and should
he insist, prevent him again; and if he insists again, fight with him (i.e.
prevent him violently e.g. pushing him violently), because such a person is
(like) a devil."
Comment:
One can only imagine what
would happen in the Masjid e Haram if one adopted this approach.
HADHRAT AISHA HIT BY FATHER
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 1, Book
7, Number 330:
Narrated 'Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) We set
out with Allahs Apostle on one of his journeys till we reached Al-Baida' or
Dhatul-Jaish, a necklace of mine was broken (and lost). Allah's Apostle stayed
there to search for it, and so did the people along with him. There was no water
at that place, so the people went to Abu- Bakr As-Siddiq and said, "Don't you
see what 'Aisha has done? She has made Allah's Apostle and the people stay where
there is no water and they have no water with them." Abu Bakr came while Allah's
Apostle was sleeping with his head on my thigh, He said, to me: "You have
detained Allah's Apostle and the people where there is no water and they have no
water with them.
So he admonished me and said
what Allah wished him to say and hit me on my flank with his hand. Nothing
prevented me from moving (because of pain) but the position of Allah's Apostle
on my thigh. Allah's Apostle got up when dawn broke and there was no water. So
Allah revealed the Divine Verses of Tayammum. So they all performed Tayammum.
Usaid bin Hudair said, "O the family of Abu Bakr! This is not the first blessing
of yours." Then the camel on which I was riding was caused to move from its
place and the necklace was found beneath it.
HAMZA (PROPHET'S UNCLE) PORTRAYED
AS A DRUNKARD
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 4, Book
53, Number 324:
Narrated Ali:
I got a she-camel in my share of
the war booty on the day (of the battle) of Badr, and the Prophet had given me a
she-camel from the Khumus. When I intended to marry Fatima, the daughter of
Allah's Apostle, I had an appointment with a goldsmith from the tribe of Bani
Qainuqa' to go with me to bring Idhkhir (i.e. grass of pleasant smell) and sell
it to the goldsmiths and spend its price on my wedding party. I was collecting
for my she-camels equipment of saddles, sacks and ropes while my two she-camels
were kneeling down beside the room of an Ansari man. I returned after collecting
whatever I collected, to see the humps of my two she-camels cut off and their
flanks cut open and some portion of their livers was taken out. When I saw that
state of my two she-camels, I could not help weeping. I asked, "Who has done
this?" The people replied, "Hamza bin Abdul Muttalib who is staying with some
Ansari drunks in this house." I went away till I reached the Prophet and Zaid
bin Haritha was with him. The Prophet noticed on my face the effect of what I
had suffered, so the Prophet asked. "What is wrong with you." I replied, "O
Allah's Apostle! I have never seen such a day as today. Hamza attacked my two
she-camels, cut off their humps, and ripped open their flanks, and he is sitting
there in a house in the company of some drunks." The Prophet then asked for his
covering sheet, put it on, and set out walking followed by me and Zaid bin
Haritha till he came to the house where Hamza was. He asked permission to enter,
and they allowed him, and they were drunk. Allah's Apostle started rebuking
Hamza for what he had done, but Hamza was drunk and his eyes were red. Hamza
looked at Allah's Apostle and then he raised his eyes, looking at his knees,
then he raised up his eyes looking at his umbilicus, and again he raised up his
eyes look in at his face. Hamza then said, "Aren't you but the slaves of my
father?" Allah's Apostle realized that he was drunk, so Allah's Apostle
retreated, and we went out with him.
DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN PROPHETS
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 4, Book
55, Number 620:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
A Muslim and a Jew quarreled.
The Muslim taking an oath, said, "By Him Who has preferred Muhammad over all
people...!" The Jew said, "By Him Who has preferred Moses, over all people." The
Muslim raised his hand and slapped the Jew who came to the Prophet to tell him
what had happened between him and the Muslim. The Prophet said, "Don't give me
superiority over Moses, for the people will become unconscious (on the Day of
Resurrection) and I will be the first to gain consciousness to see Moses
standing and holding a side of Allah's Throne. I will not know if he has been
among those people who have become unconscious; and that he has gained
consciousness before me, or he has been amongst those whom Allah has exempted."
The Prophet said, "None spoke in
cradle but three: (The first was) Jesus, (the second was), there a man from Bani
Israel called Juraij. While he was offering his prayers, his mother came and
called him. He said (to himself), 'Shall I answer her or keep on praying?" (He
went on praying) and did not answer her, his mother said, "O Allah! Do not let
him die till he sees the faces of prostitutes." So while he was in his
hermitage, a lady came and sought to seduce him, but he refused. So she went to
a shepherd and presented herself to him to commit illegal sexual intercourse
with her and then later she gave birth to a child and claimed that it belonged
to Juraij. The people, therefore, came to him and dismantled his hermitage and
expelled him out of it and abused him. Juraij performed the ablution and offered
prayer, and then came to the child and said, 'O child! Who is your father?' The
child replied, 'The shepherd.' (After hearing this) the people said, 'We shall
rebuild your hermitage of gold,' but he said, 'No, of nothing but mud.'(The
third was the hero of the following story) A lady from Bani Israel was nursing
her child at her breast when a handsome rider passed by her. She said, 'O Allah
! Make my child like him.' On that the child left her breast, and facing the
rider said, 'O Allah! Do not make me like him.' The child then started to suck
her breast again. (Abu Huraira further said, "As if I were now looking at the
Prophet sucking his finger (in way of demonstration.") After a while the people
passed by, with a lady slave and she (i.e. the child's mother) said, 'O Allah!
Do not make my child like this (slave girl)!, On that the child left her breast
and said, 'O Allah! Make me like her.' When she asked why, the child replied,
'The rider is one of the tyrants while this slave girl is falsely accused of
theft and illegal sexual intercourse."

with Ibn 'Abbas at the funeral procession of Maimuna at a place called Sarif.

'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf came
(from Mecca to Medina) and the Prophet made a bond of brotherhood between him
and Sad bin Ar-Rabi' Al-Ansari. Al-Ansari had two wives, so he suggested that
'Abdur-Rahman take half, his wives and property. 'Abdur-Rahman replied, "May
Allah bless you with your wives and property. Kindly show me the market." So
'Abdur-Rahman went to the market and gained (in bargains) some dried yoghurt and
some butter. After a few days the Prophet saw Abdur-Rahman with some yellow
stains on his clothes and asked him, "What is that, O 'Abdur-Rahman?" He
replied, "I had married an Ansari woman." The Prophet asked, "How much Mahr did
you give her?" He replied, "The weight of one (date) stone of gold." The Prophet
said, "Offer a banquet, even with one sheep."

silent. Then repeated my question (for the fourth time), and only then the
Prophet said, "O Abu Huraira! The pen has dried after writing what you are going
to confront. So (it does not matter whether you) get yourself castrated or not."

POINT
OF THIS LONG HADITH? - BACKBITING AMONGST WIVES
BUKHARI HADITH: Volume 7, Book
62, Number 117:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Eleven women sat (at a place)
and promised and contracted that they would not conceal anything of the news of
their husbands. The first one said, "My husband is like the meat of a lean weak
camel which is kept on the top of a mountain which is neither easy to climb, nor
is the meat fat, so that one might put up with the trouble of fetching it." The
second one said, "I shall not relate my husband's news, for I fear that I may
not be able to finish his story, for if I describe him, I will mention all his
defects and bad traits." The third one said, "My husband is a tall man; if I
describe him (and he hears of that) he will divorce me, and if I keep quiet, he
will neither divorce me nor treat me as a wife." The fourth one said, "My
husband is a moderate person like the night of Tihama which is neither hot nor
cold. I am neither afraid of him, nor am I discontented with him." The fifth one
said, "My husband, when entering (the house) is a leopard, and when going out,
is a lion. He does not ask about whatever is in the house." The sixth one said,
"If my husband eats. he eats too much (leaving the dishes empty), and if he
drinks he leaves nothing, and if he sleeps he sleeps alone (away from me)
covered in garments and does not stretch his hands here and there so as to know
how I fare (get along)." The seventh one said, "My husband is a wrong-doer or
weak and foolish. All the defects are present in him. He may injure your head or
your body or may do both." The eighth one said, "My husband is soft to touch
like a rabbit and smells like a Zarnab (a kind of good smelling grass)." The
ninth one said, "My husband is a tall generous man wearing a long strap for
carrying his sword. His ashes are abundant and his house is near to the people
who would easily consult him." The tenth one said, "My husband is Malik, and
what is Malik? Malik is greater than whatever I say about him. (He is beyond and
above all praises which can come to my mind). Most of his camels are kept at
home (ready to be slaughtered for the guests) and only a few are taken to the
pastures. When the camels hear the sound of the lute (or the tambourine) they
realize that they are going to be slaughtered for the guests." The eleventh one
said, "My husband is Abu Zar and what is Abu Zar (i.e., what should I say about
him)? He has given me many ornaments and my ears are heavily loaded with them
and my arms have become fat (i.e., I have become fat). And he has pleased me,
and I have become so happy that I feel proud of myself. He found me with my
family who were mere owners of sheep and living in poverty, and brought me to a
respected family having horses and camels and threshing and purifying grain .
Whatever I say, he does not rebuke or insult me. When I sleep, I sleep till late
in the morning, and when I drink water (or milk), I drink my fill. The mother of
Abu Zar and what may one say in praise of the mother of Abu Zar? Her saddle bags
were always full of provision and her house was spacious. As for the son of Abu
Zar, what may one say of the son of Abu Zar? His bed is as narrow as an
unsheathed sword and an arm of a kid (of four months) satisfies his hunger. As
for the daughter of Abu Zar, she is obedient to her father and to her mother.
She has a fat well-built body and that arouses the jealousy of her husband's
other wife. As for the (maid) slave girl of Abu Zar, what may one say of the
(maid) slavegirl of Abu Zar? She does not uncover our secrets but keeps them,
and does not waste our provisions and does not leave the rubbish scattered
everywhere in our house." The eleventh lady added, "One day it so happened that
Abu Zar went out at the time when the milk was being milked from the animals,
and he saw a woman who had two sons like two leopards playing with her two
breasts. (On seeing her) he divorced me and married her. Thereafter I married a
noble man who used to ride a fast tireless horse and keep a spear in his hand.
He gave me many things, and also a pair of every kind of livestock and said,
'Eat (of this), O Um Zar, and give provision to your relatives." She added,
"Yet, all those things which my second husband gave me could not fill the
smallest utensil of Abu Zar's." 'Aisha then said: Allah's Apostle said to me, "I
am to you as Abu Zar was to his wife Um Zar."

(the Torah) for you with His Own Hand. Do you blame me for action which Allah
had written in my fate forty years before my creation?' So Adam confuted Moses,
Adam confuted Moses," the Prophet added, repeating the Statement three times.

you see this (i.e. Ali)?" When we reached the Prophet I mentioned that to him.
He said, "O Buraida! Do you hate Ali?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Do you hate him,
for he deserves more than that from the Khumlus."
