The Almighty God Who created all things has given us the Quran for our guidance. Nothing else. The word "hadith" is mentioned by God Almighty twenty eight times in His Quran. "Hadith" simply means a tiding, discourse or story.
However it is a necessary condition for the other
"hadith" writers like Bukhari and Abu Muslim (for the Sunnis) and Jaafar Al Tusi (for the Shias)
and also others, to insist that the alleged sayings of the Prophet or the alleged"hadith" or "khabar" of the Prophet are a second source of guidance other than the Quran.
The Islamic "scholars" also say that without the alleged other "hadith" or "khabar" of the Prophet, the meaning of the Quran cannot be understood. Surprisingly, most people who like to think of themselves as Muslims seem to believe this as true.
God says in His Quran:
"Easy have we made the Quran to understand; is there anyone who will pay heed?"
This verse is repeated exactly, word for word, four times in the Quran (Sura 54:17,22,32 and 40).
Why does God want to repeat Himself exactly, word for word, four times? Perhaps God wants to TESTlFY four times that the Quran is indeed easy to understand.
Perhaps God wants to repeat this message because He knows that there will be boneheads "scholars" who will want to insist otherwise. Let us now see how God Almighty uses the word "hadith" in his Quran. "
God has sent down the very best "hadith" in the form of a Book, consistent with itself, which makes all those who fear their Lord shudder. So their hearts and bodies become receptive to the remembrance of God. THIS IS TNE GUIDANCE OF God with which He guides whosoever He will, but whosoever God leaves to stray, HAS NONE TO SHOW HIM THE WAY': (Sura 39:23).
See Arabic text for reference.
Here God says clearly that the Quran is the very best "hadith". Being the very best "hadith", the Quran therefore becomes THE GUIDANCE OF God. This immediately means that all other "hadith" are riot at all among the best hadith.
All other hadith simply cannot "SHOW HIM THE WAY".
God continues to tell us about "hadith".
He says,
"God, there is no other god, hut He. He will gather you together on the Day of Resurrection which is certain to come; AND WHOSE "HADITH" IS TRUER THAN GOD'S?": (Sura 4:87).
Having said that the Quran is indeed the "very best hadith" (39:23) God now asks whose "hadith" can' be truer than His? Who is foolish enough to answer God for this question? Bukhari, Abu Muslim, a Tirmizi, a Jaafar Al Tusi?
God also says,
"Have they not contemplated the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything created by God, that perhaps their own term is drawing to a close?IN WHICH "HADITH" AFTER THIS WILL THEY THEN BELIEVE?": (Sura 7:185). "THESE ARE THE REVELATIONS OF God WHICH WE RECITE TO YOU CORRECTLY. IN WHAT OTHER "HADITH" THAN God AND HIS REVELATIONS WOULD THEY THEN BELIEVE?" (Sura 45:6).
"In what other "hadith" after this will they then believe?" (Sura 77:50).
Again, who is willing to be fool enough to step forward to answer God His question?
Is it going to be a Bukhari, and Abu Muslim or a Tirmizi? But why would these people write their "hadith" and then claim that it is true, "sahih", "hassan" etc. God always provides an answer. God says in His Quran,
"But there are among men those who sell idle "hadith" to mislead people from the Path of God and to ridicule. For such men there will be a humiliating penalty". (Sura 31:6).
These are people who have never been authorized by God to write any "hadith" other than the "best hadith" which is the Quran. Since they have chosen to do something never sanctioned by God, their actions can only mislead people. For them God promises:
"On that day, those who reject faith and disobey the Messenger will wish that the earth were made level with them. But never will they hide a single "hadith" from God": (Sura 4:42).
1. Bukhari2. Tirmidhi3. Muslim4. Ibn Majah5. Anas6. An Nasa’i7. A. Darimi8. Al Kulini Just to name a few.
The Sunni Muslims have CHALLENGED The Sovereign of all the Boundless Universes (aalamin) and produced their hadith. Allah knew the enemies of Islaam was going to produce books and call them hadiyth and attribute them to Rasuwl Allah (Prophet Muhammad) and this is why Allah specifically used the word “hadith” in the verses below where He (The Creator, Allah) has condemned them by name [hadith]. Allah has specifically used the word “hadith” to condemn those books (BEFORE) they were created/fabricated by the hands of the enemy.
several Arabic words that means:
1) Aqwal means sayings2) Akhbar means narrations3) Hikam means Aphorisms
Just to name a few, that Allah could have used but instead He (Allah) specifically used this Arabic word “HADITH” to condemn hadith by the very same name the enemies of Islaam used to call the books written & compiled by Bukhari, Tirmidhi, Muslim, Ibn Majah, Anas, An Nasa’I, A. Darimi, Al Kulini around 250 years after the death of Prophet Muhammad. Allah knew this would happen, He is The All Seeing, The All Knowing, and so Allah has condemned these hadiths by name before the enemy of Islaam fabricating them. This is fulfillment of prophecy right in the Holy Qur’aan, Alhamdulillah.
"But never will they hide a single "hadith" from God"! Which "hadith" is God referring to here?
It cannot be the Quran, because it is God Who has sent the Quran as the "best hadith". Can it then be Bukhari's "sahih", Abu Dawud's "sunan" or Jaafar Al Tusi's "khabar"etc? Think carefully!
"Then leave Me alone with those who reject this "hadith". By degrees shall We punish them, from directions they perceive not!" (Sura 68:44).
According to our Almighty God, the people who have written their own hadith will have much to answer. When they write their own unauthorized "hadith" they will be punished from directions which they will never perceive.
In the Quran, God has asked the disbelievers,
"Let them then produce a "hadith" like this (Quran), if indeed they speak the truth". (Sura 52:34).
Ironically it is not the disbelievers but rather Imam Bukhari and friends who have tried a hand at answering this "challenge" from God.
They have created the concept of "hadith Qudsi". According to the likes of Imam Bukhari and friends the "hadith Qudsi" are "actually" the unrevealed verses of the Quran!! Hence they have bravely risen to answer God's challenge in Sura 52:34 above. </span>
"ABU HURAIRAH THE UNKNOWN"
A large portion of Bukhari "hadith" is derived from the `Father of Cats" or Abu Huraira. Despite the fact that Sunni scholars cannot provide any evidence for the existence of Abu Huraira (no one even knows the real name of the "Father of Cats"), the largest portion of Sunni theology is derived from "hadith" narrated by "Abu Hurairah the Unknown".
Among the hadith narrated by "Abu Hurairah the Unknown" we can find fables about what the Prophet did in the bathroom, in his bedroom etc. According to "Abu Hurairah the Unknown" he stuck very close to the Prophet and thus was able to observe the Prophet at close quarters.
But God told the Prophet to tell his "companions" not to annoy the Messenger of God in his home, "
Oh you who believe, do not enter the houses of the Prophet until permission is given to you for a meal, not too early as to wait for its preparation, but when you are invited enter. And when you have taken your meal, disperse, WITHOUT WAITING AROUND FOR ANY "HADITH". Such behavior annoys the Prophet. He is ashamed to dismiss you, hut God is not ashamed to tell you the Truth". (Sura 33:53).
So if the believers were told not to enter the Prophet's house too freely and not even to hang around waiting for any "hadith", how then could "Abu Hurairah the Unknown" know about the Prophet's domestic habits?
Since "Abu Hurairah the Unknown" and many of his followers of today will insist that the "Father of Cats" did have free access to the Prophet's company, it simply means that "Abu Hurairah the Unknown", if he existed at all, did not accept the admonition in Sura 33:53 above. By doing so he chose to answer the following challenge by God,
"Do you take this "hadith" (Quran) in vain?" (Sura 56:81).
It is clear that God will never accept any "hadith" other than the Quran, which is the "best hadith".
The "hadith" narrated by the likes of the "Father of Cats" and written by the likes of lmam Bukhari, Jaafar Al Tusi etc will never be recognized by God. For the likes of lmam Bukhari and "Abu Hurairah the Unknown".
God says in His Quran,
"Do you then wonder at this "hadith"? And will you laugh and not weep, wasting your time in vanities. You shall fall down in prostration to God and adore him." - Sura 53: 59-62.
This is an open invitation for us to reflect before the inevitable appointed time comes to pass. Indeed, God Almighty has made faith in the Qur’an alone equal to believing in Him alone. Just as one should not believe except in the hadith of the Qur’an alone, then, so too, one should not believe except in Godalone. And just as the believer suffices in God alone, then, so too, is the hadith of theQur’an sufficient as hadith.
God has challenged the polytheists to produce a single chapter like the Qur’an,
“If you have any doubt regarding what we revealed to our servant, then produce one sura like these… (2:23),”
and
“If they say, “He fabricated it,” say, “Then produce one sura like these…” (10:38).”
This evidence shows that what God Almighty revealed to the honourable messenger consists of chapters (suwar), and there are no chapters except in the Qur’an. So, the Qur’an is the only written revelation which came down to the messenger.
The Qur’an is the only hadith in which we must believe.
The 28 verses in Quran with the "Hadith" are:
[4:42, 4:78, 4:87, 4:140, 6:68, 7:185, 12:6, 12:21, 12:101, 12:111, 18:6, 20:9, 23:44, 31:6, 33:53, 34:19, 39:23, 45:6, 51:24, 52:34, 53:59, 56:81, 66:3, 68:44, 77:50, 79:15, 85:17, 88:1]
Beneath is the Hadith that claims that the Prophet was given the Qur'an and it's 'Equal' or 'Something like it' along with a Scholar name Ibn Baz explaining that the Sunnah is the Second Revelation next to the Qur'an that explains the Qur'an in detail according to the Sunnis.
In this Hadith, Muhammad, Allah’s Prophet, explained Ayat 75:16-29, by saying, …
"I was given the Quran and its equal with it (i.e., the Sunnah)" (A Sahih Hadith; Al-Hadithu ‘Hujjatun bi-Nafsihi [21]).
29. [Albani, Muhammad Nasir ad-Deen. Al-Hadithu ‘Hujjatun bi-Nafsihi fi-l-A‘hkami wa-l-‘Aqa-id (The Hadith is Proof Itself in Matters of Law and Creed) (Pg. 26-27)…] (Introduction to: Muhammad The Prophet of Mercy – Muhammad’s Role in Islam, by Jalal Abualrub, edited by Alaa Mencke [Madinah Publishers and Distributors, First Edition: June 2007], p. 34)
Narrated Al-Miqdam ibn Ma'dikarib:
The Prophet said:
"Beware! I have been given the Qur'an and something like it,"
yet the time is coming when a man replete on his couch will say: Keep to the Qur'an; what you find in it to be permissible treat as permissible, and what you find in it to be prohibited treat as prohibited. Beware! The domestic ass, beasts of prey with fangs, a find belonging to confederate, unless its owner does not want it, are not permissible to you If anyone comes to some people, they must entertain him, but if they do not, he has a right to mulct them to an amount equivalent to his entertainment. (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 40, Number 4587)
Question # 128162:
What is the meaning of the words of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him):
"I have been given the Qur'aan and something like it along with it"?
Question:
What is the meaning of the words of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him): "I have been given the Qur'aan and something like it along with it"?.
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah. This hadith is one of the sound hadiths that are proven to be from the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). What is meant by the words
"and something like it along with it"
is that Allah has given him another revelation, which is <span>the Sunnah which explains the Qur'aan and clarifies its meanings, as Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And We have also sent down unto you (O Muhammad) the Dhikr [reminder and the advice (i.e. the Qur'aan)], that you may explain clearly to men what is sent down to them, and that they may give thought" [al-Nahl 16:44]
So Allah revealed the Qur'aan to him and also the Sunnah, which is the hadith which are proven to be from him (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), which have to do with prayer, zakaah, fasting, Hajj and other religious and worldly matters.
The Sunnah is a second revelation which Allah revealed to him to complete the message, and he (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) expressed that in the hadiths which he explained to the ummah in word and in deed and by means of his approval, such as his saying:
"Deeds are but by intentions, and each man will have but that which he intended";
and
"The prayer of one of you will not be accepted if he breaks wind until he does wudoo'"
; and
"No prayer is accepted without purification, and no charity is excepted from wealth acquired by treacherous means"
; and
"The five daily prayers, one Ramadan to another, and one Jumu'ah to another, are expiation for the sins that come in between them, so long as you do not commit major sins."
And there are many other sahih hadiths which speak of everything that a person needs to know and which have to do with explanation of the Book of Allah. This revelation is a revelation that Allah revealed to him, of which the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) spoke and explained to the ummah. The meanings are revelation from Allah, and the words are from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), like the words quoted above:
"Actions are but by intention..."
and like his words:
"The two parties to a transaction have the option (of cancelling it) so long as they have not yet parted..."
The second revelation which was given to the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) also includes the sacred hadith (hadith qudsi) which the Messenger transmitted from his Lord, may He be glorified and exalted. They are revelation from Allah and are His words, but they do not come under the same ruling as the Qur'aan, such as what the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said, narrating it from his Lord:
"O My slaves, I have forbidden injustice to Myself, and I have made it forbidden among you, so do not wrongone another. O My slaves, all of you are misguided except those whom I guide, so ask Me for guidance, I will guide you..."
this is a lengthy hadith, which was narrated by Muslim in his Saheeh from Abu Dharr al-Ghifaari (may Allah be pleased with him). All of that is included in the words of Allah (interpretation of the meaning):
"By the star when it goes down (or vanishes).Your companion (Muhammad) has neither gone astray nor has erred.Nor does he speak of (his own) desire. It is only a Revelation revealed" [al-Najm 53:1-4]
>>Majmoo' Fataawa Ibn Baaz (25/58-61).<<
The Sunnites (Sunnis) accept these Ahadith set as authentic:
1. Bukhari2. Tirmidhi3. Muslim4. Ibn Majah5. Anas6. An Nasa’i7. A. Darimi8. Al Kulini Just to name a few.
Shi’ite accept these Ahadith set as authentic:
1. Kafi of Abu Ja'fa Muhammad2. Man la Yastuhdirahul Fiqah of Shaikh Ali3. Tahdhib of Shaikh abu Jafar Muhammad4. Najhu’l Balaghah of Sayyid Radi
They say Muslims don't reject Hadith yet these two Sects Sunni/Shite all claim to have the authentic Ahadith yet they both reject each other's claim of authenticity not to include the very fact that the Sunni/Shites Muslims have CHALLENGED The Sovereign of all the Boundless Universes (aalamin) and produced their Ahadith.
Allah knew the enemies of Islaam was going to produce books and call themhadith and attribute them to Rasuwl Allah (Prophet Muhammad) and this is why Allah specifically used the word “hadith” in the verses below where He (The Creator, Allah) has condemned them by name [hadith]. Allah has specifically used the word “hadith” to condemn those books (BEFORE) they were created/fabricated by the hands of the enemy.
God Almighty has described the Quran as hadith, and He challenged the polytheists to bring a hadith like it, The Almighty says
“Do they say, “He made it all up?” Instead, they are simply disbelievers. Let them produce a Hadith like this, if they are truthful. (52:33-34)”.
He described the Qur’an as the best hadith
“God has revealed herein the best Hadith; a book that is consistent, and points out both ways (to Heaven and Hell). The skins of those who reverence their Lord cringe there from, then their skins and their hearts soften up for God’s message. Such is God’s guidance; He bestows it upon whoever wills (to be guided)… (39:23)”.
So, if God Almighty has honoured us with the best hadith, then why should we take other hadith in its place?
Our Lord has made it clear that all truth is [found] in the hadith of God, i.e. the Qur’an,
“…Whose hadith is more truthful than God’s? (4:87).”
God Almighty has threatened those who lie about His hadith in the Qur’an,
“Therefore, let Me deal with those who reject this Hadith; we will lead them on whence they never perceive. (68:44)”.
Our Lord has confirmed that faith is not to be placed in anything other than Hishadith, i.e. the Qur’an, He says at the end of chapter 77,
“Which Hadith, other than this, do they uphold? (77:50).”
The same meaning was repeated when He said
“Have they not looked at the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all the things God has created? Does it ever occur to them that the end of their life may be near? Which Hadith, beside this, do they believe in? (7:185).”
The Almighty says about His Self,
“…There is nothing that equals Him. He is the Hearer, the Seer. (42:11).”
And He says about His Book
“Say, “If all the humans and all the jinns banded together in order to produce a Qur’an like this, they could never produce anything like it…” (17:88)”
therefore, there is no equal to the Qur’an, just as there is no equal to God!
God is one in His Self and in His attributes, and there is no one like Him from among His creations,
“Proclaim, “He is the One and only God. The Absolute God. Never did He beget. Nor was He begotten. None equals Him.” (112:1-4).”
It isn’t within the capability of any creation to create one chapter like a Qur’anic chapter,
“…then produce one sura like these… (2:23),”
and
“…then produce one sura like these… (10:38).”
There is no equal to the Qur’an, and there is no chapter which is equal to any chapter of the Qur’an. In spite of this, they claim that God revealed to the prophet the Qur’an ‘and its equal alongside it’, so where is this ‘equal’ thing if God Almighty has denied its existence?
Most of those who think they believe in God are actually idolaters:
Allah says,
"So many proofs in the heavens and the earth are given to them, but they pass by them, heedlessly! The majority of those who believe in GOD do not do so without committing idol worship." (12:106)
Some of those who think they are guided/believers are not:
Allah says,
"Some He guided, while others are committed to straying. They have taken the devils as their masters, instead of GOD, yet they believe that they are guided. (7:30) On the day when we summon them all, we will ask the idol worshipers, "Where are the idols you set up?" Their disastrous response will be, "By GOD our Lord, we never were idol worshipers." Note how they lied to themselves, and how the idols they had invented have abandoned them. (6:22-24)
Thus it is a FACT that there are people who think they are guided but they are not, and it is a FACT that there are people who do not think they are idolaters but they are.
Allah went out of his way and mentioned the Prophets by name in the Holy Qur’aan and Allah also have mentioned previous scriptures by name in the Holy Qur’aan, note that Allah NEVER EVER mentioned any of the hadith writers(Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidi, just to name a few) by name in the Holy Qur’aan and Allah never mentioned any of their so called ahadith by name either because they are insignificant in Allah’s eyes.
Allah has revealed a Book (Al Qur’aan) which consist of 114 Chapters and over 6000 verses and Allah also said that His Book (Qur’aan) is complete, perfect, fully detailed, and that it explains all things (Qur’aan 6:114-115; 16:89; 6:38; 12:111) and Allah did not even waste His breath, Nuwr (light) to mentionBukhari, Muslim, Tirmidi, etc. nor their so-called books. It never was Allah who legislated, sanctioned Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidi hadith and their hadith books in Islaam, it was men after the death of Muhammad and that right there is a big difference.
Qur’aan 42:21
أَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكَاء شَرَعُوا لَهُم مِّنَ الدِّينِ مَا لَمْ يَأْذَن بِهِ اللَّهُ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةُ الْفَصْلِ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَإِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
Allah says,
"They follow idols who decree for them religious laws never authorized by Allah. If it were not for the predetermined decision, they would have been judged immediately. Indeed, the transgressors have incurred a painful retribution."
Muslims we need to question what we have been taught and it should be the goal of All Muslims to seek and practice True or Pure Islaam.
These Muslims who loves Hadith/Sunnah love to quote Hadith after Hadith after Hadith, and not the Qur’aan which reminded me of Prophet Muhammad who said that his people (Muslims) DESERTED/ABANDONED the Qur’aan:
Qur’aan 25:30
وَقَالَ الرَّسُولُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِي اتَّخَذُوا هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ مَهْجُورًا
The Messenger said, “My Lord, my people have deserted this Qur’aan.
Who are his people, this is prophecy right in the Qur'aan being fulfilled.
“By God, we have sent (messengers) to communities before you, but the devil adorned their works in their eyes. Consequently, he is now their lord, and they have incurred a painful retribution. We have revealed this scripture to you, to point out for them what they dispute… (16:63-64)”.
