There is no way around it. If you have pc would have been better. You can always download it through keepvid.com. I usually download few minutes video on mobile phone. You may have to wait until you have enough data to download it on your phone. I can only compress large files and share it locally through dropbox.

How much you have to spend on data to download this file (video)?

albaqir, lexiconkabir,

To associate the book Sahih Bukhari to Imam al-Bukhari is a great deceit. Imam Bukhari knew nothing about the present 9-11 volumes of the book Sahih Bukhari.

# The earliest manuscript of the so-called Sahih Bukhari was compiled 151 years after the demise of Imam Bukhari, and it only contains 52 pages.

The sheikh is of salafi manhaj and politely agrees Sahih hadith is not perfect unlike some who consider it error free. That's extreme. He cited example of contemporary scholar who criticized him for not putting certain ahadith in his sahih. And Imam Bukhari would adjust. This does not mean trashing the book of Bukhari. Also Sheik Adam (rohimahuAllah) have said similar thing about throwing out certain ahadith especially undefendable once. That's fair criticism.

Well i didn't claim its error free either.

He cited example of contemporary scholar who criticized him for not putting certain ahadith in his sahih. And Imam Bukhari would adjust

Imam Albanee also criticized some ahadeeth in bukhari so that's not new.

Also Sheik Adam (rohimahuAllah) have said similar thing about throwing out certain ahadith especially undefendable once. That's fair criticism.

Now i dont agree with this, you don't throw out hadeeth because they are "undefendable"(to you), if you see an hadeeth(even outside Bukhari and Muslim) graded sahih and you don't undertand it, if you don't have any academic/scholarly argument why the hadeeth should not be accepted, then ask those who know to explain it for you.

I have done this many times on hadeeth that sounded absurd at first to me.

SHEIKH ADAM ABDULLAH AL~ILORY’S SUFISM AND LEARNING JOURNEY: REPORTED SPEECH
via: Sheikh Adam Abdullah Al~Iloory’s Lecture during the Mawlid celebration gathering for the Mystic, Sheikh Ahmad Rufaa’ee Nda Salaatee.
watch video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-Y5IBMaiKQ

“My father was a Qaadiriyya Sufi. I started learning the Qur’aan from him. I also started Ilimee (Islamic Sciences) with him, after which I studied under the tutelage of Alfa Esin who was a Tijaaniyah. I learnt with Alfa Umar (Imam of Agbaji, Ilorin) who was a Tijaaniyah. I finished/concluded studies with Sheikhg Adam Namaajy who was a Qaadiriyah.

Alfa Salman Ake was the first to initiate me into the Qaadiriyah, after which I took it from Alfa Nda Salaatee, I also took form Alfa Adam Namaajii (Kano). I took it from the Gabas (East). I took from Shehu Naasir Kabara (Kano), I also got initiated (in the Qaadiriyah branch) of Shehu Uthman dan Fodio (Al~Fuudawiyyah).



I became Khaleefah (of Sufi Order) through Shehu Malik Shabdabu ‘in’ Kishajamu: {which consists of; Naqshabandiyyah, Junaydiyyah, Shaadhiliyyah, Marjaniyyah and Qadiriyyah}.

But (my role) in teaching people Islamic Knowledge (kewuu) pulled me back/made me retrogress (in the khilaafah of the spiritual paths), the reason for this is: If one upholds the Tareeqah/Spiritual path, one caters for his Self/Soul (Personal Salvation), and he wont be able to cater for others.”

NOTE: Spiritual Salvation/Journey is a personal one, which entails Jihad an~Nafs (Striving against the Lower~Self/Ego). It is very important to have a Shaykh al~Waseel (Guidance Shaykh), but the implementation of all his/her teachings in the journey strongly depends on the individual courage, discipline and sincerity of the mureed/seeker to reach the pristine destination of being soaked in one’s creator. May Allah make easy for us the journey and grant us the courage, discipline and sincerity to arrive our divine destination with Salaam/Peace/Shalom, Ameen…….

Empiree:

Firstly, I don't think shaykh ilory has any sound knowledge on ilm hadeeth, so like i said earlier, i would like to know the scholarly approach taken to reject the hadeeth not just based on text that don't go with his reasoning.

Secondly let me give you some hadeeth faulted by shaykh Albanee in as-saheehayn, excerpts taken from https://islamqa.info/en/178907, shaykh Albanee said;

I find myself compelled by academic honesty to express what I believe is correct and to discharge my duty, as the researcher who has deep knowledge cannot but admit an academic fact which was expressed by Imam ash-Shaafa‘i (may Allah have mercy on him), as it was narrated he said:

Allah has decreed that no book should be perfect except His Book, therefore some of the scholars objected to some words that were erroneously inserted by some of the narrators in some saheeh hadiths, some of which we will mention here by way of example:

· The words in the hadith about the leper, the bald man and the blind man (no. 1471), in which it says “it occurred to Allah” instead of the correct phrase “Allah willed”, because speaking in terms of “something occurring” to Allah, may He be exalted, is not appropriate; how could that be acceptable when it is one of the beliefs of the Jews?

· The phrase “one who compromises” instead of “one who adheres to” in the words of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him): “The likeness of the one who adheres to the limits set by Allah and the one who transgresses them…” Hadith no. 1143.

· The words in the hadith about the plague (1475): “Do not leave except fleeing from it.” The narrator’s addition of the word “except” is an obvious error [so the hadith should read “Do not leave, fleeing from it”].

· The narrator’s addition in hadith no. 984: “The two parties to a transaction have the option of proceeding or cancelling… He may confirm agreement three times.” Al-Haafiz (4/327, 334) stated that the phrase that mentions confirming it three times cannot be proven to be from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).

· He said (p. 176) concerning hadith no. 1160 about the words concerning the righteous slave, “By the One in Whose hand is my soul, were it not for jihad…” that this remark has been inserted into the hadith: these are not the words of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him); rather these are the words of Abu Hurayrah. So this is like the hadith mentioned above in Vol. 1 no. 90, in which the narrator added at the end: “So whoever can extend his traces of wudoo’ on his face, let him do so.” This has also been inserted.

· Similarly in Vol 1 (28 – Jaza’ as-Sayd/21) it says that a man said: My sister vowed to do Hajj. This is an odd report according to al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar. What is known is that a woman said: My mother vowed…. You can check this report there.

· Similarly with regard to hadith no. 1209, al-Ismaa‘eeli highlighted that it has an interrupted isnaad. Al-Haafiz approved of the hadith but had some reservations about the text which he mentioned in al-Fath, to which anyone who wishes may refer

· A similar example is the hadith mentioned above (28 – Jaza’ as-Sayd/11): It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) married Maymoonah when he was in ihram. The more correct view is that he (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) married her when he was not in ihram.

· Similarly, in hadith no. 1050 it says: “Allah says: ‘There are three whose opponent I will be on the Day of Resurrection.’” Its isnaad includes a narrator who was the subject of a difference of opinion. What is established is that he had a poor memory. Al-Bukhaari himself indicated that the report of the one who narrated this hadith from him was not sound. You may see his comments there, so that you may be prudent with regard to matters of your religion and the hadiths of your Prophet.

I have mentioned these examples so that readers may be prudent with regard to matters of their religion and will have a clear understanding of the hadiths of their Prophet and be certain of the soundness of the report mentioned above: “Allah has decreed that no book should be perfect except His Book.” Thus they will also not be deceived by what has been written by some of those who

want to stir up trouble against us, such as the ignorant imitators and fanatical followers of madhhabs who talk nonsense about what they do not know, say what they do not know and ignore what they already know. … And on the other hand there are some people who have made some contributions in some fields of knowledge or in the field of da‘wah (calling people to Islam) – even if it is on the basis of their own understanding – who show audacity in refuting that which they do not like of saheeh hadiths, which they regard as da‘eef despite consensus in the ummah on the acceptability of that hadith. They do not reject it on the basis of sound principles of this noble branch of knowledge and the rules of knowledge according to the muhadditheen, or because of some doubts that they developed about one of the narrators of that hadith, for they have no knowledge of that and they have total disregard for the knowledge of people who specialise in that field. Rather they base their argument on their own whims and desires or on their education that was far removed from sound faith which is based on the Qur’an and saheeh Sunnah, in imitation of the Orientalists and the enemies of the faith, and those who imitate them of westernised people such as Abu Rayyah al-Masri, ‘Izz ad-Deen Baleeq al-Lubnaani and others with whom this ummah is afflicted in modern times, who reject sound hadiths on the basis of whims and desires, and cause confusion to some Muslims because of the specious arguments they present.

Allah, may He be exalted, is the One Whose help we seek and ask Him to protect the Sunnah from the hands of the ignorant, those who would tamper with it and the ignorant who follow whims and desires; we ask Him to make us recognise the efforts of the early imams in service of the Sunnah, who laid out for us principles and rules for knowing what is sound and what is not. Whoever adheres to those principles and rules will be following a clear way, and whoever deviates from that will go far astray.

End quote from Muqaddimat Mukhtasar Saheeh al-Bukhaari (2/5-9).

He (may Allah have mercy on him) also said:

Some young people who are fanatically devoted to Saheeh al-Bukhaari, and likewise to Saheeh Muslim, are ignorant and adamantly insist that everything in them is saheeh. In contrast to them, some writers have no respect at all for as-Saheehayn, and they reject of their hadiths any that are not in accordance with their rational thinking and their whims and desires, such as as-Saqqaaf and other writers. I have responded to both groups in more than one place.

End quote from Silsilat al-Ahaadeeth as-Saheehah (no. 2540)

He (may Allah have mercy on him) also said:

Imam al-Bukhaari and Imam Muslim did their duty of selecting these hadiths that they included in as-Saheehayn from among hundreds of thousands of hadiths, which was an immense effort. Therefore it does no service to knowledge and it is not wise at all for me to focus my efforts on examining as-Saheehayn and ignore the hadiths to be found in the four Sunans and elsewhere, which are not known whether they are saheeh or da‘eef. But during my academic research, I came across some hadiths in as-Saheehayn, or in one of the two, and realised that there are some hadiths that are da‘eef! But whoever has doubts about my ruling concerning some hadiths, let him refer to Fath al-Baari, where he will find very many things that (the author) al-Haafiz Ahmad ibn Hajar al-‘Asqallaani critiqued.

End quote from Fataawa ash-Shaykh al-Albaani (p. 565).


To sum up: Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allah have mercy on him) did class as da‘eef some of the hadiths that are included in as-Saheehayn. his method of criticism was sound and in harmony with the methodology of the earlier muhadditheen, who noted some reservations concerning some of the hadiths in as-Saheehayn. He was never for a moment trying to undermine the status of as-Saheehayn in people’s hearts and minds, or exaggerating in the manner in which he critiqued some hadiths.

lexiconkabir,

Obviously, Sheik Albany (ra) is dealing with matn. Having gone through your post, it partially in line with Albaqir was saying. It confirms what Sheik Imran was saying. It confirms what I said before. Example was the hadith we treated recently that Allah created offspring of Adam White and Black. The White are for Janna and Black are for Hell. In the hadith, it say "I dont care" This phrase @bold has negative implication that Allah would speak like that and I alleged that it was most likely inserted but you disagreed. The hadith is sound as far a I am concern but the matn is wrong.

Another example is a hadith attributed to the Nabi (sallaAllahu alaiy wasalam) that 'when adhan is call people should go to the congregation in the masjid. As for those are are left behind in their home, I will burn them with fire'. I only paraphrased this hadith. You may have to check it out yourself. The hadith itself is sound but the matn is wrong.


Sufis in our time used different approach in accepting hadith from what I gathered. First, their focus is on ahadith that are beneficial. They do not worry much about those hearsays narrations even though they are graded sahih. For instance, hadith about drinking urine, monkeys flogged monkey who committed zina and the list goes on. These are irrelevant to muslims. Their focus is on ahadith that improve spiritual growth of muslims here and there. That's why, growing up, we did not hear those ridiculous ahadith like killing, drinking urine etc. bcus they are irrelevant to us in Yorubaland. But the Arabs have always kept these non beneficial narrations.


What we heard growing up in Africa in most cases are good stuff which means Sufis' approach was grading the hadith based on what is suitable and appropriate for TIME and PLACE. They used Quran as criteria to determine hadith which is noteworthy. Their science of hadith is determined by standard of Quran. Quran says that Nabi (saw) is a "mercy to the world." For this reason, [size=18pt]Sufis would most likely reject ahadith that speak ill or appears to speak negative about the prophet especially if it is dealing with fictitious story (history). Or they placed the hadith at the bottom (Mawḍūʻ). If a hadith is in harmony with Quran it is place at the top (Ṣaḥīḥ). If a hadith is neither in harmony nor in conflict with Quran they put it aside (Ḍaʻīf).[/size] The thing is, their general principle is "Science Of Hadith" as we know it did not come down from Allah or from the blessed lips of the prophet. Hence,activities that are benefiting to us like dua, dhikr etc come first along with common non tainted story. Anything else that have little or no value in our lives is either irrelevant or subject to reevaluation. This is why they are selective of hadith. That's why growing up, we only taught hadith like "La yuminu ahadukum ata yuibul akhii........". You would not hear things like nabi ordered a house be fire bombed.

But if you look at Saudi arena, it is other way around. They tried to defend most ahadith that have questionable history connection. By the way, Sufi were the majority of those who put together Kutub al-Sittah. It is now we see discrepancies where some ahadith have been expunged from Sahih and some irrelevant things are inserted.


So Sheik Albany trying to correct matn was exactly what Sheik Imran faulted in sahih hadith. He said in one of his books that there are ahadith in Sahih hadith that are fabricated. There are ahadith inside hadith (matn) that are fabricated (like Sheik Albany rightly did by correcting those phrases attributed to nabi) and also there ahadith that are sound and he gave his examples. I cited hadith above about setting house on fire. The hadith may be sound but its matn is questionable. This is one of the examples by Sheik Adam that explanation cannot correct some mawdu hadith. Sheik Albany tried to explain the hadith and he recounted his experience with a magician. At the end of his story he said he "felt like setting the magician on fire by following example of the prophet." Obviously, this type explanation breeds violence especially amongst shabab.

Finally, i am not the type that go about deliberately quoting hadith to find fault. I dont do that unless when it is absolutely necessary to do so. So basically, they use Quran as criteria to determine authenticity of hadith. Example is common statement by some muslims that nabi conquered the world through J!had (physical). Sufis reject this bcus Quran does not describe nabi (sallahAllahu alaiy wasalam)'s character by J!had. Allah described him as proper model for muslims and mankind.
