In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Hadeeth Sahih al-Bukhari Right or Wrong
By Irshad Mahmood – Director, Siraat-al-Mustaqeem Dawah Centre

Ṣaḥiḥ al-Bukhari is one of the Kutub al-Sittah (six major hadith collections) of Sunni Islam. These prophetic traditions, or hadith, were collected by the Persian Muslim scholar Muhammad al-Bukhari after being transmitted orally for generations. He was born on 19 July 810 in Bukhara in Khorasan (in present-day Uzbekistan). He started collecting Hadeeth at the age of 16, around 200 years after Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) has passed away and died in September 870 at around 60 years of age. He made a series of travels in order to collect and compile Hadeeth for 44 years. Keep in mind old time travelling to collect and compile Hadeeth was extremely time consuming and next to impossible, since Sahabas were scattered all around in Middle East after Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) to spread Islaam.

Muhammad al-Bukhari collected over 600,000 hadith and included only 7,275 traditions which includes repetitions, while 4,000 non-repeated Hadeeth in his Sahih al-Bukhari.

In the light of above mentioned figures, it is impossible for a single person to travel all around Middle East on horse and camel and collect around 600,000 Hadeeth (around 40 Hadeeth per day non-stop) and compile only 7,275 Hadeeth while rejecting vast majority of it in 44 years of time. Question is who was funding him, if he did not work for his survival. Another question is why he rejected vast majority of Hadeeth from 600,000 Hadeeth and what ware his criteria of rejections. There might be possibilities that out of those rejection there might be few Hadeeth which could be Right and same way, there might be few Hadeeth which he recorded in present available might be actually are non-authentic.

Some contradictions in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim:

Contradiction is something that can knock out the 100% claim in 1 blow, i.e. you can’t say 100 = 90 = 70 = 60. You can’t say 10 = 13 = 15.

Are 2 Rakat after Asr Prayer a Good Sunnah or a Forbidden Thing:

Sahih Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 10, Number 566: Narrated 'Aisha: Allah's Messenger never missed two Rakat before the Fajr prayer and after the Asr prayer openly and secretly.

Sahih Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 10, Number 567: Narrated 'Aisha: Whenever the Prophet come to me after the 'Asr prayer, he always prayed two Rakat.

Sahih Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 10, Number 561: Narrated Muawiya: You offer a prayer which I did not see being offered by Allah's Messenger when we were in his company and he certainly had forbidden it (i.e. two Rakat after the Asr prayer).

Sahih Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 10, Number 562:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger forbade the offering of two prayers: 1. after the morning prayer till the sunrises. 2. after the 'Asr prayer till the sun sets.

100 wives or 90 wives or 70 wives or 60 wives attributed to Hazrat Sulaiman (pbuh) in these hadith:

Sahih Bukhari: Volume 7, Book 62, Number 169: Narrated Abu Huraira: (This hadith attributes 100 wives to Prophet Sulaiman (pbuh))

Sahih Bukhari: Volume 8, Book 78, Number 634: Narrated Abu Huraira: (This hadith attributes 90 wives to Prophet Sulaiman (pbuh))

Sahih Bukhari: Volume 8, Book 79, Number 711: Narrated Abu Huraira: (This hadith attributes 90 wives to Prophet Sulaiman (pbuh))

Sahih Muslim: Book 15: Hadith 4069 Abu Huraira reported: (This hadith attributes 70 wives to Prophet Sulaiman (pbuh))

Sahih Bukhari: Volume 9, Book 93, Number 561: Narrated Abu Huraira: (This hadith attributes 60 wives to Prophet Sulaiman (pbuh))

First 10 or last 10 Ayaat of Surah Kahf:

Sahih Muslim: Book 004, Number 1766: Abu Darda' reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: If anyone learns by heart the first ten verses of the Surah al-Kahf, he will be protected from the Dajjal.

Sahih Muslim: Book 004, Number 1767: This hadith has been transmitted by Qatada with the same chain of transmitters. But Shu'ba (one of the narrators) said: At the end of Surah al-Kahf, but Hammam said: At the beginning of Surah al-Kahf. Note: Muslim has mentioned the situation himself. To my knowledge, he didn’t say who is right and who is wrong, but I may be wrong.

Is Dajjal’s right eye defective or his left eye defective?

Sahih Muslim: Book 041, Number 7005: Ibn Umar reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). made a mention of Dajjal in the presence of the people and said: … … and behold that Dajjal is blind of the right eye and his eye would be like a floating grape.

Sahih Muslim: Book 041, Number 7010: Hudhalfa reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Dajjal is
blind of left eye with thick hair and there would be a garden and fire with him and his fire would be a garden and his garden would be fire.

One crystal clear contradiction is enough prof for a book to be wrong, but when there are many contradictions then we cannot fully trust on it and we must have to validate it from the Quraan which is free from any contradictions and error.

Ali (RA) narrated, Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) said, there is NO DOUBT that, there will be Hadeeths coming after me, claiming that I have said those. So you MUST test each and every Hadeeth from the QURAAN. If it is really according to the Quraan ONLY then you ACCEPT it otherwise REJECT it. (Sanan Dar Qatni, Vol-2, Book – Imrani Abee Musa, Matba Farooqi – 513).

the baseless excuse by some scholars that no further work needs to be done on Hadith:

How Ummah Diverted from the Quraan and Trapped in Conspiracy?

In the struggle for power and domination the Quraan had been the biggest challenge to the Hypocrites. Although, they could not stop Muslims from obedience of the Quraan BUT they succeeded in giving them very wrong concepts about it. That was a great conspiracy which took them three centuries to establish false beliefs and practices among the Muslims. These beliefs and practices are now falsely included into the Book of Hadeeth or Book of Sunnah of the Prophet (Peace-Be-Upon-Him), since they cannot modify the Quraan, which is protected by Allah.

During the life time of the Prophet and his companion, it was impossible to say anything against the Quraan but after them there was no check. The Hypocrites had flooded the Muslims world with LIES and fabrications against the Quraan. If anyone questioned that such and such belief or practice is against the Quraan the reply had always been, like today, that this is Sunnah of the Prophet. This way the Hypocrites took away the Quraan from Muslims and succeeded in inflicting upon them an ignominious life. Remember: Each and every single Ayaat of the Quraan is THREE-IN-ONE i.e., it is Word of Allah, Word/Hadeeth of Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him), since it came from HIS mouth and Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him), since HE was walking/talking Quraan and he practically showed it to us as well.

Now, what happens they read lot of the Quraan but for Thawab only and not for guidance for them.  They establish prayers but to worship Allah and not to combat Fohsha wal Munkarat. They pay regular charity but to purify the wealth and not for its circulation among all classes in the society. And, when you ask them why they are doing this? Everyone will reply this is Sunnah of the Prophet (Peace-Be-Upon-Him). And if asked who told this is Sunnah? They will name anyone from among the Companions who lived during the first century - for example, Abu Huraira (ra), Omer (ra) or Aisha (ra) reported this and that. When asked who told this? They will name anyone from Taabe'heen or Tabb'a Taabe'heen who lived during the second century. When asked further they will ultimately confess that all this stuff came to us through Bukhari and other Mohaditheen who lived during the third century.

In other words, the Muslims are trapped in a great conspiracy. They are deceived to follow the path which is not found in the Quraan. They think they are treading into the footsteps of the Prophet (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) but, in fact, they are treading into the footsteps of Shaitaan. The interesting aspect of this conspiracy is that no one feels guilty. In spite of, all the sufferings and humiliations they are proud of what they are doing in the name of the Prophet and Islaam. No one likes to come out of this darkness. And, if any blessed soul endeavors to show them the right path they consider him an agent of the Enemy of Islaam. One wonders, what else the Enemy of Islaam want to do with the Muslims. They had already sent them to the bottom of hell.

The truth is that the real source of Muslims unity and honor was the Quraan. The Prophet (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) and his great companions followed nothing except the Quraan. They never looked for guidance to any other historical or ideological source other than the Quraan. They were solely inspired and motivated by the Quraan. When the Prophet (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) was alive and his life was the perfect embodiment of the Quraanic Values. After his (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) death, Muslims kept treading in his footsteps and followed the Quraan with more zeal and devotion. The Quraan elevated them to the highest level of morality and wisdom. They achieved great success and honor in the contemporary world and remained dominant as long as they followed the Quraan.

Analysis of the Hadeeths:

To analyze the Hadeeth we also need to see Islaamic History, with open eyes from inside our heart. Please also read my article on “The Truth about Hadeeths” for additional information.

>Rasool Allah (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) was born in around year 570 AD.
>Rasool Allah (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) got the prophecy and became the last and final prophet in around year 610 AD.
>Rasool Allah (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) passed away in around year 632 AD.
>The Hadeeth was first compiled around 250 years after Rasool Allah (Peace-Be-Upon-Him), which is around year 900 AD.
>Was it possible that some group of Hypocrites (Munafiqs) from the East, the West, the North and the South of Arabia united together and tried to include fabricated Hadeeths, which could have been misleading the Muslim Ummah? Yes of course. Even at the time of Rasool Allah (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) they demanded to change the Ayaat of Quraan, which Rasool Allah (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) answered that he didn’t have any authority to do that (Al_Quraan_010.015 – 016).
>There is no doubt that this thing might have been happening before and the proof was that out of the seventeen books of the Hadeeth only seven were accepted by our religious scholars, i.e. more than 50% were rejected initially.
>Is it possible that still in the seven accepted books of the Hadeeth there might have been fabricated Hadeeth? Yes off course. Cause and effects are interrelated and you can see how much we Muslim Ummah are divided. Also there are many Hadeeths, which are contradicting the Quraan.
>Allah told us to do research and think about the Quraan (Al_Quraan_003.169, 004.083). What about the Hadeeth? Is it enough to just believe on the Hadeeth Blindly?
>Rasool Allah (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) already warned his people that there will be Hadeeth coming after me, so accept them if they are according to the Quraan, otherwise reject them (Sanan Dar Qatni, Vol-2, Book – Imrani Abee Musa, Matba Farooqi – 513). So we need to test every Hadeeth, don’t reject all Blindly and don’t accept all Blindly as well, BUT do research and if it is according to the Quraan only then accept it. The Quraan is the main source and guidance to all human beings.
>Because of poor communication, knowledge was not getting transferred as quickly as now.
Muslims were getting successes before the year 900 AD.
>After the year 900 AD, Muslims started getting a down fall BUT it took several hundred years just to feel the downfall, since Muslim Ummah were still succeeding. Possibly after leaving the Quraan behind and taking the Hadeeth as number one, they started to fail more deliberately.
>After the year 1500 AD, it seems that Muslims went beyond the limit and started taking the Scholars as number one, the Hadeeth as number two and the Quraan they left behind. As you can see, after that Muslims started losing all over the world.

Remember: Each and every Ayaat/Verse of the Quraan is two in one, i.e. KALAAM of Allah as well as Hadeeth Qudsi of Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him), since we got it from the mouth of Him (sav) and it is His (sav) saying as well. Only Quraan is protected by Allah and is completely error free and has no contradictions at all, (Ref: Al_Quraan_004:082, 015:009). All other books (other than the Quraan) including Hadeeth have errors and contradictions, since those are NOT book of Allah and are NOT protected by Allah.

Three types of Hadeeth, Un-Authentic Hadeeth, Valid Authentic Hadeeth and Invalid Authentic Hadeeth:

1>    Un-Authentic Hadeeth
Most of the Muslim Scholars are totally aware of the Un-Authentic Hadeeth, and these must be DELETED / REMOVED from all the books of Hadeeth to reduce the confusion among Muslim Ummah.

2>    Valid Authentic Hadeeth
Most of the Muslim Scholars are totally with the Authentic Hadeeth which do not contradict the Quraan and these are one of the real essence of Islaam.

3>    Invalid Authentic Hadeeth
This is the main driving key for all the divisions in Islaam, although are VERY FEW of the Hadeeth, may be less than 1%. These must be re-analyzed and FIXED or REMOVED from all the books of Hadeeth to reduce the confusion among Muslim Ummah.

Main Reason for Invalid Authentic Hadeeth Contradiction the Quraan:

In the Quraan Allah mentioned, that He replaced few verses of the Quraan, with similar or better verses (Al_Quraan_002.106, 016.101, 087.006-007). Now no one knows those old verses except for few like the commandments about consuming alcohol, since those were completely DELETED / REMOVED from the Quraan or all the scholars have taken the final statement i.e. alcohol is forbidden in Islaam completely as guided by the Quraan and there is a clear wisdom that one has to leave some of the bad habits in stages. However that is not true with the Books of Hadeeth, that is one of the reason, why you see although the narrations are ok, but few Hadeeth are still contradicting the Quraan. That is the only reason why, few of the Authentic Hadeeth are Invalid, BUT those Hadeeth need to be DELETED / REMOVED from all the book of Hadeeth.

Also the Quraan was revealed in stages during a period of around 23 years (Ref: Al_Quraan_076.023). It may have been possible that before any verses were revealed in the Quraan on any specific issue of any punishment for any crime, people of the book might have presented their laws from their Holy Books, which included Torah (Old Testament), or Injeel (New Testament), or Zaboor (Book of Psalms) and since those were also Book of Allah, although people have changed them, and Rasool Allah (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) might have given decision ONLY to the people of the book (Jews & Christian) of their believe. An example of that could be Stone to death for the Punishment for Adultery, which later Quraan clearly mentioned that regardless of any discrimination of status, gender etc., punishment of Adultery is hundred lashes. (Ref: AL_Quraan_024.002).

Also when Great Muhadditheen of Islaam like Imaam Bukharee or Imaam Muslim were collecting Hadeeth, it was really possible that Munafiqeen (Hypocrite) of that time, who were unable to alter the Quraan, since it is protected by Allah, managed to present in an intelligent way, which might have confused Great Muhadditeen of Islaam and who included those as a human error. Allah protected the Quraan and Quraan only.

Similarly we need to do more research on each and every Invalid Authentic Hadeeth and DELETE / REMOVE those from all the books of Hadeeth which contradict the Quraan.

Ali (RA) narrated, Prophet Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) said, there is NO DOUBT that, there will be Hadeeths coming after me, claiming that I have said those. So you MUST test each and every Hadeeth from the QURAAN. If it is really according to the Quraan ONLY then you ACCEPT it otherwise REJECT it. (Sanan Dar Qatni, Vol-2, Book – Imrani Abee Musa, Matba Farooqi – 513).

Roots of Downfall of Muslim Ummah could be giving preference of those Hadeeth which contradicts the Quraan as well as giving preference to Mullahs over the Quraan. Read the Quraan with understanding/translation and practice on it 100% to get real success in this life as well as on the Day of Judgment BUT Munkir-e-Quraan will never do it.

Remember:    Each and every ayaat/verse of the Quraan is two in one:
1>    Kalaam of Allah
2>    Hadeeth Qudsi of Prophet Muhammad (sav), since we got it from his mouth.

None argue concerning the revelations (Ayaat) of Allah BUT those who Disbelieves ..., (Al_Quraan_040.004).

Those who don’t read the Quraan with understanding/translation and Practice on Allah’s commandments are like ASS/Donkey carrying books, (Ref: Al_Quraan_062.005).

Allah never destroys any good nation, (Ref: Al_Quraan_011.116-117).

IF QURAAN CANNOT CONVINCE YOU NOTHING WILL, (Ref: Al_Quraan_004:087, 007:185, 039:023, 052:033-034, 053:056-059, 056:075-082, 068:044, 077:050).


Question: Which of the three FAREWELL SERMONS is authentic? Remember: Only one can be true at a time.

01>    “I am leaving for you two things that you must uphold, the Quraan and my Sunnah” (according to Muwatta 46/3).

02>    “I am leaving for you the Quraan and my relatives (Ahl Al bayt)” (according to Muslim 44/4, Nu 2408; Ibn Hanbal 4/366; Darimi 23/1, Nu 3319).

03>    “I am leaving for you the Quraan alone; you shall uphold it” (according to Muslim 15/9, Nu 1218; Ibn majah 25/84, Nu 3074; Abu Dawud 11/56, Nu 1905).
