Question
What is the opinion of the Hadith specialists regarding the famous scholar, al-Wahidi? Are the narrations that he uses in his al-tafseer al-waseet, al-Wajeez, and Asbab al-Nuzool considered to be reliable?
How would a reader trust a given narration found in these works of his?
Question
I recall hearing from scholars to beware of many of the narrations found in the History (Taareekh) of al-Tabari as many of them are weak.
However, I wanted to ask if he was more stringent in his selection of Hadiths in his Tafseer than in his Taareekh? If so, did he specifically say that he will only use a certain grade of narrations or on the other hand did later scholars say anything about his selection of narrations in his Tafseer?
Question
I was reading Hafiz Ibn Hajar Al ‘Asqalani’s Al ‘Ujab Fi Bayanil Asbab (regarding the reasons of revelation of the different verses of the Holy Quran), and I wanted to ask what his methodology is in this book with regards to the hadiths he cites in it? Are all of the hadiths he cites in there acceptable according to him, are they all at least of a certain degree or higher according to him?
Question
Did Ibn Hajar (rahimahullah) write the book Munabbihat?
What is the status of the Hadiths found in Munabbihat?
Question
What is a good book on the compilation of fabricated (mawdu’) Hadiths?
I am aware of Al-Mawḍū‘āt al-Kubra but i have read from ‘Ulama that many Hadiths are in that book are not really fabrications.
Is there any reliable book which discusses fabricated (mawdu’) Hadiths preferably by Shaykh Muhammad Awamah?
Question
I read a book that mentions that it was the habit of early Muhaddithun to write very little of their own commentary and usually their books were filled with mainly the wordings of the Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam). So much so that Imam Muslim (rahimahullah) did not even write a muqaddimah (introduction) and did not even mention any headings of the chapters (tarajim).
But the copies which we have today do have both; the muqaddimah (intro) as well as the Titles of the chapters (tarajimul abwab).
Could you kindly clarify and exhibit some light on this issue?
Question
There is a person who says that Imam Abu Hanifah (rahimahullah) had issues with the Hadiths of Sahih Bukhari!
Please clarify.
Question
Is there any book in which we can find the Hadiths that discuss the Sifat (attributes) of Allah (according to Ash’ari madhab)?
I thought this could be useful against those who claim that all Sifat of Allah related by the As’aris are based on pure logic of later Ulama, & not from Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) and the Salaf (Pious predecessors)
Question
Kindly explain what changes in the form of of additions or subtractions etc. ‘Allamah Tibrezi (rahimahullah) made in his Mishkatul Masabih in comparison to the hadith book Masabih?
Question
Is there any narration which mentions that the deeds of the Ummah are presented to Rasulullah (salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)?
Question
I have a query concerning the narration in which Sayyiduna Umar (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reads the Tawrah in the presence of Rasulullah (salallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) and the colour of the blessed face of Rasulullah (salallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) changes.
Is there any mention thereafter of the Ansar taking out their swords because of being angry with Sayyiduna Umar (radiyallahu ‘anhu)?
Question
I have a question in regards to a book I have, called “The fortress of the Muslim Invocations from the Quran and sunnah”
It was complied by Sa’id bin Wahf Al-Qahtani. There are many DUAS is this book and I’m not sure how Sahih any of them are. There are Hadiths related by Al-Bukhari, Muslim, Abu dawud, Ibn Majah, At-Tirmithi, and the list can go on.
How strong are these Hadiths given in this book?
An example of a Hadith is, “Invocations after the final Tashahhud and before ending the prayer”
Allahumma ‘inne ‘a’ oothu bika min athaabil-qabri, wa min athaabi jahannama, wa min fitnatil-mahyaa walmamaati, wa min sharri fitnatil-maseehid-dajjaal.
Transmitted by Al-Bukhari 2/102, Muslim 1/412, and this is Muslims wording.
Is the Hadith I gave as an example sahih?
Question
A brother sent me and others an email criticizing Fada’il al-A’mal with the following:
In Fada’il al-A’mal you will find that some hadiths have been taken from the book called Dhayl al-‘Ali of Imam Suyuti, which means “Tails Of Pearls”, but in the meantime the real name of the book is Dhayl -La’ali al-Masnu’a fil-Hadithil-Maudu’a which means “Tails of made up pearls in fabricated hadiths”.
There is a hadith on page 142 of Virtues of Dhikr, hadith no.28 which in English tells us about Adam (‘alaihis salam) and how he asked forgiveness from Allah when he saw the Prophet (sallallahu’alaihi wasallam) name on the ’Arsh. Now, if you read the same hadith on the same page in Arabic you will find the word MAWDU’ which we know means fabricated. The same is not translated into English or Urdu for that matter. That is a clear lie on the Prophet (sallallahu’alaihi wasallam)
