Muslim children attending madrassa are taught from a very early age about the role of a mother and the respect we need to accord them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon Him) once said:
Your Heaven lies under the feet of your mother (related by Ahmad, narrated by Nasai).
At another occasion a man came to the Prophet (peace be unto Him) and said: O Messenger of God! Who among the people is the most worthy of my good companionship? The Prophet said: Your mother. The man said: Then who? The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man further asked: Then who? The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man asked again: Then who? The Prophet said: Then your father. (Bukhari, Muslim).

Despite all that is in the public domain about how Muslim men ill-treat their women, this is really the basis for a man’s conduct towards a woman. What is happening in especially Islamic countries is actually an atrocity against Islam. Every woman has the potential from birth to be a mother. And all mothers need to be treated the way you would treat your own mother. Provided of course that you have a very good relationship with your own mother.
Since our National Women’s Day falls in the month of August, it has become customary to refer to August as Women’s Month. But what does that really say? Are we going to revert back as of September 1? Okay, maybe September 2 since we are now celebrating spring day!
Why should the elevation of our women folk be confined to one day or, at the most, one month? Are we not supposed to celebrate the role of women in society every day?
A woman once said in a conversation that men would never understand what a woman goes through when in labour. My answer to that? Maybe a man was never intended to understand that. Women occupy a special place in society and we need to respect, protect and defend the honour of our women — every day of the year. Once we start telling ourselves that we need only to celebrate women during August, we have failed already in this crucial duty.
Let’s celebrate our wonderful women 24 hours of every single day!
This is an old debate, I know, but while I respect the integrity of your words, I suggest that there is a vast number of women who don’t want to be celebrated; referred to as ‘our women’; or protected, revered or cosseted by men merely because they are women. Most want to be treated as citizens with equal rights, not adored merely because they have vaginas through which and from which to procreate.
This is still hard for many men to accept; that women would rather enjoy their hard-won rights alongside men than be placed on a pedestal. Some men are so threatened by this that they resort to sexist and aggressive arguments in which they long for the days when a woman was a soft and feminine ‘lady’, not respecting that it is possible for a woman to be all of those things *if she chooses to be so*. That it is as possible for a woman to stay at home, nurture her children, bake and be deserving of respect, as it is it possible for her to be an assertive business person who pays someone else to supervise her child’s homework – and still be deserving of respect.
Women are similar to men in that they should only be respected if they deserve it; should only be revered if they are wise and good and should only be celebrated if they’ve achieved something great. Women are no more saints than men are gods.
Shareef, this is a really nice piece, and thanks for quoting Hadith, this allows people out there to open their minds more and attempt to understand Islam a bit better.
“A woman once said in a conversation that men would never understand what a woman goes through when in labour.”
Utter arrogance! Having been present at 4 deliveries as the father and loving husband, holding hands and comforting, I believe that -although not feeling the physical pain- men can fully understand what a woman goes through.
The emotions, when the “climax” happened, were for me indescribable even at the fourth time.
Modern day deliveries, executed with surgical precision, often do not allow the man to be present or -worse- the man chooses not to be present for a variety of reasons.
Yes, indeed, such men are deprived from the most unifying event in their joined lives. They might indeed not understand what a woman goes through.
As far as celebrating “motherhood” goes. Many religions have a special place for this. The Roman Catholics celebrate the virgin Mary as the mother of all mothers. The Muslim religion seems certainly not unique in this respect.
I do however have a serious problem with their (sharia?)”by-laws”, seemingly skewed against decent treatment of women and their rights to be recognised as a human being. Maybe you can put this in context for us, the infidels.
Your argument is that we should accord women respect because they have the capacity to become mothers. What about women who choose not to have children? And what about women who are infertile or sterile?
Well said my brother….I am buffled when some men continously give praise to their mothers on their success (however little it maybe) and yet they feel justified to abuse other women (especially their partners). its a crazy world we live in!!
Dear sir
Why do you not produce a verse from the Quran to prove your statement? Instead of producing hearsay from Bukhari who hails from Iran and wrote his book 250 years after the death of the Prophet Muhammad. How he got that information due to the fact he was not of the Arabian region, he was not a native arabic speaker and he did not know the beduoin culture.
Any reasonable person would ask the question, what does “and your mother” means three times? If we talk rank as for example the military, we do not get a sargent, a sargent, a sergent and then only a corporal. This statement makes it look like the Prophet Muhammad liked to play games when people asked serious questions.
Please read your Constitution. You will be surprised what It says about your mother.
What about the women who don’t want to be mothers…
Whilst I appreciate the sentiment in these hazardous times we South African women live in I find it irritating that women are deemed to have a special place in society by virtue of their potential to be mothers. I am a mother and I don’t expect any greater or less respect for it, I have a close relative who has been treated quite terribly by her in-laws because she is unable to bear children. We are worthy of respect just as every other adult male is worthy of respect not any more, not any less. I don’t want to be held up as something wonderful only to the extent that I can assist in procreation and my relative mistreated because it turns out she can’t fall pregnant, is she any less of a woman than I am now that her potential to be a mother has come to nought? How is she to be treated now since appreciating her was dependant on the possibility that she could be a mother.
@Nazreen
That Hadith is a fabrication. Refer the Quran:
7:185 … What HADITH besides the Quran, are they going to believe after him?
Why do you willfully refrain from explaining through the Quran instead of extrinsic sources such as fabricated Hadith and History?
Can a Hadith book claim the following with authority:
12:111 Indeed in the history of these men, there is a lesson for people of understanding. As for this Revelation, it could not possibly be a hadith, fabricated.
Please, please O Muslims have you ever read the Quran in your mother tongue from cover to cover?
How do you answer Shareef? And what about you Nazreen?
@ Ardee, are you a Muslim, or do you speak Arabic? Firstly, the Ahadith (plural for Hadith) are teachings from the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.), and had been verbally passed down until it was captured in ink. In this regard, it was recorded by Muslim, one of the Sahaba (companions, or disciples if you like) of the Prophet (pbuh). And the translation of Arabic is sometimes difficult, since it is a phonetic language; which is precisely why one should read it in its original form. “Hadith” in this regard is not a fabrication, but a lecture, saying or teaching. When Muslims speak of Hadith, they refer to the teachings of the Prophet (S.A.W.), definitely not fabrications.
And yes, I do read the Holy Quran in my mother tongue – but also in Arabic. What about you, ever tried that?
@ everyone else. The idea of this blog was to celebrate women and ask why we dont do this more often; like in every day. Yes, I made reference to maothers, to child bearing and giving labour. But essentially it is about women.
Every woman is born with the potential to be a mother. And my message is that if you have a proper relationship with your mother; love her, respect her, would do anything for her; why than not treat every woman (please note I dont say every mother, but every woman) in the same way?
Im sorry for the misunderstanding, but I cannot foresee everyone’s circumstances. So, I wrote about how I felt at that time. And I am not going to apologise for the fact that I wrote this, those are my feelings, sorry for you if you dont agree…
“Every woman is born with the potential to be a mother.”
Who is a woman? Do you mean the biological potential? If so, no, you’re incorrect. Not every woman has that ability.
Do you understand what we have been asking you? Should we only celebrate those women who are 1) able and 2) willing to become mothers? What about women who either can’t or won’t become mothers?
What does your Quran and the Ahadith say about respecting gays, lesbians and transexuals? What does it say about respecting disbelievers and apostates.
I know your “holy book” has something to say about husbands being able to beat their wives, and that wives can be compared to dogs.
I also understand that the Quran was written up after Mohammed’s death in a Quraysh dialect that few (if anyone) understands today.
All religious people can cherrypick the bits from their “holy books” and stories that suit their purpose.
Those in “Islamic countries you say are an atrocity to Islam would say the same about you and your interpretation of your religion.
Amazing! All muslims appear to be “misunderstanders of Islam” by all other muslims.
It appears it can mean whatever you damn well want it to mean.
If you think the wife wearing the niqab or burka while she accompanies her husband in his Nikes, Levis and Billabongs is being treated with respect as a woman then I am baffled.
Hmmm….what has this topic got to do if I am a moslem or not? Let’s focus on the facts. You claim that Hadiths are teachings of the Prophet? Well let us see. For example Bukhari narrated many Hadiths in his book “Sahih Bukhari” (Authentic) for people who were considered liars, corrupted and untrustworthy. Muslim Scholars who came after him were afraid to expose the truth and the shortcoming of Bukhari and other scholars of Hadiths and Sunna like him. As a simple example, in the famous book “Al-Mustadrek”, the author states that Bukhari listed Hadiths taken from 434 persons who were not accepted by Muslim for his book “Sahih Muslim” as good trustworthy people. On the other hand Muslim accepted in his book 625 persons who narrated Hadiths ,who were refused by Bukhari.
In Muslim’s Sahih, a Hadith in the section of washing after intercourse that the Prophet Mohammed answered a man about washing after having sex with his wife. His wife Aysha was sitting there listening, and Muhammed answered, I do it all the time with this (woman-Aysha) and wash right away.
What a shame!! With the prophet talking about his sexual habits in the presence of Aysha with no embarrassment. Teaching of sexual practice and matters can be taught without pointing fingers to the wife and her sacred relationship with her husband, especially if the husband happened to be the Prophet Mohammed. This was not our beloved Prophet.
In Bukhari’s Sahih, vol. 4 and 7, a Hadith about a magic spill casted on the prophet Muhammed until he did not know what he is doing even to the point that he would think he had intercourse with his wives when he in reality did not. Our Hadithist made the Prophet absent minded even for a minute ?!! What a shame. Should we respect them and accept their SAHIH ??!!! NO
Moslem’s Sahih, vol. 2, hadith about the Prophet starting to urinate standing up, so one of his companions start to walk away but the Prophet called him back to stay close. What a lie. And what is the significance ?!!
In the book of Tayymum (Dry Ablution) of Bukhari, vol. 1 and Muslim’s Sahih vol. 1, is the story of a necklace lost by Aysha, so the Prophet instructed all the Muslims with him to find the lost necklace, while he slept on Aysha’s thigh for hours, did not do his prayers or remember God, and did not tell the people what to do for ablution since they did not have water. So God decided to give the Muslims the Tayymum (Dry ablution). Another shameful SAHIH Hadiths.
In another Hadith reported by Bukhari and Hanbal,
Bukhari, 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 .”
Until February 2001, the hadiths was still on display in Bukhary’s book posted at the Bukhari Volume 1, Book 4, Number 159:
Now look at these contradictions:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
The Prophet performed ablution by washing the body parts only once.
__________________
Bukhari Volume 1, Book 4, Number 160:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Zaid:
The Prophet performed ablution by washing the body parts twice.
If any book contains a few lies (and we have more than just “a few”), then, the endorsement of that book is not reliable. If you see dozens of repeated fabrications introduced as trustworthy (sahih)hadith, then how can you still rely on other narrations of the same book? How can you trust Bukhari, Muslim, and Ibn Hanbal who narrate the LAST HADITH of the prophet Muhammad in his death bed, rejecting the recording of any hadith through a declaration from the mouth of Omar Bin Khattab and the acquiescence of all prominent muslims that “Hasbuna kitabullah” (God’s book is enough for us)? (Bukhari: Itisam 26, Ilm 39,49, Janaiz 32, Jihad 176, Jizya 6, Marza 17, Magazi 83; Muslim, Janaiz 23, Vassiya 20-22; Hanbal 1/222,324,336,355).
There are many hadiths about the Prophet’s life, which one cannot accept with a sober mind. They are narrated repeatedly in many so-called authentic books. We cannot create a history out of a mishmash of narration by a subjective method of pick and choose. We can create many conflicting portraits of The Prophet out of those hadiths. As for pure historical events that are isolated from their moral and religious implications, they are not part of the religion, and we don’t need them for our salvation. I am not saying that we should not read hadith.” In fact, we may study hadith books to get an approximate idea about the people and culture.
Hadith books are full of contradictory teachings. They eventually lead us to a sanctified and justified sectarian division in the name of the Prophet. Their very nature is another proof that hadith collections cannot be divine, since God, characterizes his word and system as not having any contradiction: “Why do they not study the Quran careful? If it were from other than God, they would have found in it numerous contradictions.” (4:82). This verse clearly refutes the traditional argument that hadith books contain other revelations besides the Quran, since the followers of Hadith and Sunna confuse some of the reference to Quran with hadith, as in: “Your friend (Muhammad) is not astray, nor is he deceived. Nor is he speaking out of a personal desire. It is a divine inspiration.” (53:2-4). Furthermore, verses 39:27-28 describe the Quran and the following verse distinguishes the divine teaching from other teachings. “God cites the example of a man who deals with disputing partners, compared to a man who deals with only one man. Are they the same? Praise be to God; most of them do not know.” (39:29). Obviously, hadith narrators and collections are “disputing partners,” while the Quran is a consistent source.
I am careful of Hadith because I respect the Prophet. No sound person would like to have people born several centuries after him roam the earth and collect a bunch of hearsay attributed to him. Besides, if the Prophet and his supporters really believed that the Quran was not sufficient for guidance, is an ambiguous book, or lacked details, then, surely they would be the first ones who would have written them down and collect them in books. After all, their numbers were in tens of thousands and they had plenty of wealth. They could afford some ink, papyrus paper or leather, and some brain cells, for such an important task. They would not leave it for a guy from far Bukhara who would come more than two hundred years to collect hadiths. Besides, the Prophet had many unemployed or handicapped people around who could gladly volunteer for such mission. The traditional excuse fabricated for Prophet Muhammad and his supporters is absurd. Supposedly, the Prophet and his followers feared that people would mix the Quran with hadiths. This is nonsense. They were smart enough to distinguish both, and there were enough people to keep track of them. Besides, what is the use of separating both, if we will need the second for our salvation as much as we need the first? In practice, the followers of Hadith have perfectly mixed both. Worse, in most instances they have preferred hadith over the Quran.
Did you know that 95% of the “Imams” hailed from Persia (Iran). They were PARSIS (Zoroastrians, Magians, Majoos).
This includes the six Sunni MUHADDITHEEN of “SAHAH SITTAH” (the six ‘authentic’ books of Hadith) and the three Shi’a MUHADDITHEEN of “SAHAH ARB’AH” (the four ‘authentic’ books of Hadith).
Add “Imam” Tabari (d.310 Hijrah), the first historian and exponent of the Qur’an, plus a multitude.
They were “canonized” by the Abbasid caliphs of Baghdad. Why? The caliphs were under the influence of their Parsi mothers and wives. Moreover, these caliphs and the state-sponsored “Imams” had a synergistic relationship. You will not find any ONE of these “Imams” opposing kingship and despotism. Rather, they opened the gates for HAREMS, slaves, concubines, wine and all kind of luxury, indulgence and lavishness for the elite. Anyone criticizing these “Imams” would lose his neck under the state-sponsored QAZI’S FATWA (religious edict).
@ ardee…
I do respect that you have done alot of research into this and i am by no means disputing anything that you have said because i am not at all knowledgeable……however from the little that i understand from what i’ve read/been told I thought the ahadith were written to ensure that we put the Quran into context. for eg certain revelations were made during a specific battle or when the Prophet(peace and blessings be upon him)was inviting people to islam and the persecution experienced.my understanding is also the ahadith are there to help us better understand he Quuran…………….so my question is ‘are you saying there is no need for ahadith?’ are you saying that most muslims especially in SA are following the wrong way?
may i ask where you are from? i ask only because i want to know if arabic is your first language?
VERSES IN THE QURAN PROCLAIMING THE QURAN TO BE THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE HADITH
“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, besides this do they believe in?” 7:185
“Among the people, there are those who uphold baseless Hadith, and thus divert others from the path of God without knowledge, and take it in vain. These have incurred a shameful retribution.” 31:6
“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 therefrom, then their skins and their hearts soften up for God’s message. Such is God’s guidance; he bestows it upon whomever He wills. As for those sent astray by God, nothing can guide them.” 39:23
“These are God’s revelations that we recite to you truthfully. In which hadith other than God and His revelations do they believe?” 45:6
“Let them produce a hadith like this if they are truthful.” 52:34
“Therefore, let Me deal with those who reject this Hadith; we will lead them on whence they never perceive.” 68:44
“Which Hadith other than this do they uphold?” 77:50
HISTORY OF WRITING OF HADITHS
The writing and documentation of the Sunna is an interesting and important part of our Islamic history. In all its details, the reader of this history can find all the indications that God permitted the corruption of the so called Hadiths and Sunna of the Prophet Muhammed as He told us in 6:112-113
God repeatedly told us in the Quran that His book, is complete, perfect and fully detailed, see 6:19,38,114,115; 50:45, 12:111, and if He so willed He would have given us hundreds of books, not just one QURAN, see18:109 and 31:27. God knew that the Quran is enough and that those who do not find the Quran to be enough will be committing idol-worship by having people like Bukhary, Moslem, Ahmed and others as partners with God, in setting the law for this great and perfect religion ,see 9:36,12:40, 30:43.
HADITHS AND THE GUIDED KHALIFAS;
The four guided Khalifas who ruled the Muslim Umma (nation) after the death of the Prophet Muhammed, respected the order of the Prophet and prohibited the writing and collection of Hadiths. They did believe God in his book and accepted the commandment of the Prophet.
Abu Bakr at one point was not sure whether to keep what he knows of hadiths or not. He had collected 500 Hadiths during very long companionship of the Prophet Muhammed, but he could not sleep the night until he burned them. Omar Ibn Al-Khattab insisted on destroying the Hadiths collected by his son Abdullah. Islamic history mentioned the story of Omar Ibn Al-Khattab restraining four of the Prophet’s companions because of their insistence on telling Hadiths, these were Ibn Masoud, Abu Al-Dardaa, Abu Masoud Al-Anssary and Abu Tharr Al-Ghaffary. Omar called Abu Hurayra a liar and threatened to send him back to Yemen where he came from if he does not stop telling these lies about the prophet Muhammed. He stopped until Omar died then started again.
Ali Ibn Abu Talib, the fourth Khalifa in one of his speeches said, “I urge all those who have writing taken from the messenger of God to go home and erase it. The people before you were annihilated because they followed the Hadiths of their scholars and left the book of their Lord.” (Sunan Al-Daramy)
KHALIFA OMAR IBN ABDUL AZIZ, THE BEGINNING OF THE END;
Abu Hurayra narrated more Hadiths than anybody else including Abu Bakr, Omar, Ali, and Aysha who lived with the prophet all their lives. In less than two years of being with the prophet, Abu Hurayra narrated more Hadiths than all these companions of the prophet altogether. He narrated 5374 Hadiths. Ibn Hanbal quoted 3848 of his Hadiths in his book. The Guided Khalifas, Al-Khulafaa Al-Rashedun, who ruled the Muslim Umma after the death of the Prophet Muhammed respected the Prophet’s wish in not writing anything but the Quran and denounced any attempt of writing the Hadiths and Sunna. Their example was followed for the first two centuries after the Prophet’s death. By that time, the lies about the prophet Muhammed was widespread and the people deserted the Quran to look for Hadiths, that is when the Khalifa Omar Ibn Abdel-Aziz issued an order to permit the writing of Hadiths and Sunna thinking that he would put an end to the lies about the Prophet Muhammed. In his ruling he disregarded the commandments of God in the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammed and the examples of his predecessors and the objection of many of the scholars in his time. Since then Islam moved from the religion of God, the Quran, to the infamous Hadiths and Sunna that were originally prohibited by God and His Prophet. Praise be to God, He preserved and protected His
THE EARLY WRITING OF HADITHS;
As for the notion that Hadiths were written as early as the Prophet’s time, this is historically correct but the prophet himself and those who ruled after him condemned these writings and looked at those who wrote these Hadiths with disgrace. The hadiths books mentioned that the Prophet Muhammed burned the collected hadiths, and was very angry at people making “another book with the book of Allah.” Abu Baker and Omar Ibn Al-Khattab, were also reported to burn the Hadiths collections.
This prohibition of hadiths was continued until Omar Ibn Abdel-Aziz permitted the writing of Hadiths and Sunna, then many books and (Kararees) appeared containing Hadiths, e.g. Ibn Greeg, Malik Ibn Anas, Mohammed Ibn Is’haq. The most famous from among these were the book of Malik Ibn Anas, (Al-Muwattaa). that had about 500 Hadiths. At the end of the second century the books known as (Masaned) appeared, e.g. the Masnad of Ahmed Ibn Hanbal that has about 40,000 Hadiths. In the first half of the third century the famous six books of hadiths appeared and these are the books used by many of the scholars these days. 1- Sahih Bukhary. 2- Sahih Moslem. 3- Sunan Abu Daoud. 4-Sunan Al-Termethy. 5-Sunan Al-Nesaay. 6- Sunan Ibn Mageh.
In these books a new religion was written that dominated over the Quran despite the claim for the opposite. In writing these books, the authors did not care if
HOW MANY HADITHS ?
The number of hadiths collected and attributed to the prophet Muhammed is in the hundreds of thousands, as much as 700,000. As much as 99% of all these hundreds of thousands hadiths are pure lies and fabrications and were rejected by the early Muslim scholars who thought they can figure out which hadith is authentic and which is not. Let us look at some of the famous hadiths collectors and what they collected.
(1) Malik Ibn Anas collected about 500 hadiths in his famous book, “Al-Muwattaa”
(2) Ahmed Ibn Hanbal, collected about 40,000 hadiths, in his famous “Musnad”.He chose these 40,000 hadiths from among 700,000 hadiths. In other words he thought 660,000 hadith were un-proven, lies and/or fabrications and the others may be authentic. That is 94% lies and fabrications
(3) Bukhary collected about 600,000 hadiths and accepted 7275 hadiths and considered 592,725 hadiths to be un-proven hadiths,lies and/or fabrications, that is almost 99% of what he collected .
(4)Moslem collected 300,000 hadiths and only accepted 4000 of them, and refused about 296,000 . that is almost 99% of these collected hadiths .
This will give you an idea of how much corruption entered or tried to enter Islam from the back door. Now we should understand why God promised to preserve, protect and safeguard His book, the ONLY authentic hadith, the ONLY acceptable hadith, the BEST HADITH, the Quran. NO such guarantee was
ABU HURAYRA AND SO MANY LIES:
Abu Hurayra, came from Yemen in the seventh year of Hijra and converted to Islam. He stayed in the company of the Prophet Muhammed less than two years. He narrated more than 5000 hadiths, actually 5374 hadiths, from this less than two years company, (Compare this with the relatively few hadiths narrated by Aysha, Abu Baker, or Omar, for example, after very long company of the prophet) . Most of his narrated hadiths are called the “Aahad” hadiths, i.e. hadiths only witnessed by one person, this one person was Abu Hurayra himself. Some of the Prophets companions (Sahaba) and Aysha, the Prophet’s wife, accused him of being a liar, telling lies about the prophets just to make up hadiths and gain some status. Omar Ibn Al-Khattab, the second guided Khalifa threatened Abu Hurayra to send him to exile if he does not stop telling hadiths about Muhammed, he did stop until Omar’s assassination then started again. He kept telling hadiths to please the Khalifa of the Muslims then, including the time he lived in the Royal Palace of Mu’aawiyah in Syria. Abu Hurayra told his audience that he is telling them hadiths that if he ever mentioned when Omar was alive, he would be given several lashes.
Abu Jaafar Al Iskafy mentioned that the Khalifa, Mu’aawiyah, chose some of the people, including Abu Hurayra to tell fabricated stories and hadiths about Ali Ibn Abu Talib, the Prophet’s cousin, to
Abu Hurayra narrated hadiths after Kaab Al Ahbar, who was a Jewish convert who tried to explain the Quran by using the corrupted books of the Jews. He produced some of the most outrageous hadiths that is full of contradiction to the Quran, taken from false stories in the Torah.
The Islamic historians told the story of Abu Hurayra after given the governorship of Bahrain, got very rich in two years, so Omar called him back and told him ” You, the enemy of Allah, you stole the money of Allah. I made you the Emir of Bahrain when you did not even have a pair of shoes, Where did you get all this money (400,000 Dirham)?? ” The history indicates that Omar took 10,000 Dirham from him.(Abu Hurayra admitted for only 20,000 Dirham)
Abu Hurayra was the one accused most of fabricating hadiths. Aysha, the Prophet’s wife always accused him of telling inaccurate or incomplete stories and of fabricating hadiths that she never heard the prophet saying them. Abu Hurayra is well known for his prejudice against the women and the dogs. He produced some of the most insulting hadiths to Muslim women, and hadiths that call for the killing of the dogs . If we apply the rigid criteria claimed to be used by the Scholars like Bukhary and Moslem, for accepting those who narrated hadiths, Abu Hurayra will be the first one to fail the test and his hadiths will be the first to be counted
AYSHA AND ABU HURAYRA, ON THE ODDS;
In the famous book “Taa’oueel Mukhtalaf Alhadith ” by Ibn Qutaiba Al-Dinory, the story of Aysha (the Prophet’s wife) telling Abu Hurayra; ” You tell ahadiths about the prophet Muhammed that we never heard them from him” He answered (as Bukhary reported); “You (Aysha) were busy with your mirror and make up” She (Aysha) answered him; “It is you who were busy with your stomach and hunger. Your hunger kept you busy, you were running after the people in the allies, begging them for food, and they used to avoid you and get away from your way, and finally you would come back and pass out infront of my room and the people think you were crazy and step all over you.”
In a commentary on one of the posts in the Islam section in AOL, a gentleman volunteered these information’s about the number of Hadiths collected by Abu Hurayra in comparison to Aysha, Abu Baker, Umar and Ali.
@Ardee,
Yoh, Ardee you must be the biggest bore in Christendom. You appear to have wasted your entire life researching this claptrap. Get a life fella! It’s all a load of bull, or put yourself out of your mysery. Just don’t take the suicide bomber route, that’s so passe.
Some Imam or other said “There is no fun in Islam”. You’ve proved his case. RIP!

Why are people turning this into a theological debate? the man is making a point. Support it, deny it! But why to get into such debate? handle such debate in appropriate platforms.
Have a decent debate on the issue. If you don’t believe in the Hadith then quote a verse and contribute to the discussion.
Why don’t you write an article and publish it?
