If the writer of the famous sahih bukhari is not imam Bukhari himself, then who is the author? You don't make a claim you cannot defend.

And who "confirmed" that?. You realize he did not bring that up on his own but something established by some scholars as well?. You gonna have to read your Sheikh Albani (ra) more on this. So why is he a liar?.

# @underline, says who?

# I guess because Empiree showed you the word of your Imam Albani who weakened some ahadith in Bukhari, that's why you quickly changed gear saying, "I never said its 100% faultless".

Anyway, that's a good start. In fact, in the word of Albani, there are lots of daeef ahadith in Bukhari's sahih but he claimed he had no time fishing them out since other books are to be worked on.

And of course, Albani was not the first to criticised Sahih Bukhari. Here's Albani's words:


Allamah al-Albani writes:

"But, whoever is in doubt concerning the verdicts I have given concerning some hadith (in sahih al-Bukhari), let him refer to Fath al-Bari, and he will find there lots and lots of things (in sahih al-Bukhari) which have been CRITICIZED by al-Hafiz Ahmad b. Hajar al-Asqalani, who is rightly named the Amir al-Muminin in Hadith, and whom I believe - and I suppose that anyone who has this knowledge (i.e science of hadith) would agree with me - that no woman has ever given birth to anyone like him after him".

# This is not about copying and pasting o. There are serious argument submitted at the OP to show the present "sahih" Bukhari was not written by Imam Bukhari.

Try to be academic. Make a proper response/counter bit by bit to the OP. Your copy-paste address nothing so far.

Thanks.
We both know your aim, so no need for you to hide under "academic" response, and for your information, my quotes were academic, and it nullifies the doubts you intend to establish with regards to the content of Sahih Bukhari. If the contents of Sahih Bukhari can be found in other collections of even his predecessors like Imam Malik (ra), some of whom are his teachers, and the fact that what Bukhari did was to establishing authentic narrations, then, attacking and asking who wrote Sahih Bukhari becomes not only absurd, but ill-thought.

Anyway, here is another excerpt:

[b]There is no doubt that Imam Bukhari did pen his work al-Sahih with his own hand, however, he [also] recited it to a large number of his students who listened to it from him and copied it in its entirety. Thereafter, they checked it against Bukhari’s personal copy. This way their copies were in accordance with the original one of Bukhari. Afterwards, came another generation who listened to the book from the students of Bukhari and compared their copies to those of Bukhari’s students, and likewise [it happened through subsequent generations] until the book became widely known.[1] If, therefore, the original one written by Bukhari was lost it had no implications, because it had been transmitted among the generations of students of Bukhari and its copies had become widely published each with a chain of transmission back to Bukhari. Commentaries to it were written, and all the copies are, by the grace of Allah, in congruence. As to the minor differences in the wording, they are in a sense similar to the difference of recitals (qira’at) in Qur’an and are, in fact, a factor confirming the attribution for they establish numerous transmitted links that go back to Imam Bukhari[/b]

Accordingly, even if the reliance is made on a copy much later than that of Bukhari it confirmed to the manuscripts and editions prior to it except for minor marginal differences. See, therefore, how the differences, rare and marginal, increase the authenticity of copying rather than question it. Moreover, whereas the transmission of al-Firabri – a student of Bukhari – became popular, and copies of it were published, it was not because copying was exclusively based on his transmission. Sahih Bukhari was copied through other transmissions as well. This is al-Khattabi (319/931 – 388/998) saying in his commentary to Sahih Bukhari titled ‘Alam al-Hadith that he listened to major part of the book from Khalf b. Muhammad al-Khayyam on the authority of Ibrahim b. Ma’qal al-Nasafi (d. 295/907), a student of Bukhari who listened to the book from him.[2] It is a link other than that of al-Firabri. This is how it was with the early scholars. Among them the oral transmission and reporting of Sahih Bukhari through various links, other than the one popular today, was widespread. Their renderings of the Sahih are in line with the copy common today.

The internal consistence of the transmissions and copies of Sahih Bukhari despite remoteness of the regions, difference of times, and the number of links back to Imam Bukhari are best evidence for the mass narration of Sahih Bukhari and the reliability of its copied transmission. Thereafter, if one or more of the copies of it became popular among the scholars (as it happens with most of the academic works) it was not because it was the most authentic of the copies or because it included something that other copies did not rather this is simply how it naturally happens. It is similar to a situation wherein a contemporary author writes a book and multiple editions of it come out, however, decades later only one of the editions remains in print and the book becomes popular in that edition because it is the best or, let us say, the most critical of the editions whereas the other editions go out of print and are neglected. This does not mean that the subject matter of the in-vogue edition is different from other editions.

In short, Sahih Bukhari was relayed down from his author through mass transmission. It was not possible for any scribe to make any interpolation or alteration without it being known. Scholars of different schools of thought possessed copies of Sahih Bukhari and knew its content intimately. If any narration were interpolated it would have been known to them immediately through its variance with their own copies of it and their knowledge of narrators and the chains of narrators. Reflect, therefore, on this peculiar and crucial feature of our ummah’s intellectual tradition – the methodology of narration, scrutiny, and comparison of a later copy with the earlier one – the like of which is not found with other nations. This signifies that loss of Bukhari’s own copy makes no difference rather it goes with the natural order of things. It is indeed rare for a manuscript to outlive environmental, historical, military, and political changes and survive for over 1200 years!

# There's no escape from the word your website try to cast doubt on.

Fact 1: The exact word is also used in relation to Nabi Sulayman when Abu Huraira forged or copy-pasted Biblical stories that the later had se.xual intercour.se with 60, 80, and 100 women.
https://sunnah.com/bukhari/60/96

https://sunnah.com/bukhari/56/35


Fact 2: In another hadith of Bukhari, "yaduru - he used to visit" was used as different from "tawafa"; when used in this context of those ahadith under discussion, it means nothing but " had se.x". Since, x-rated word could not be used, a more "relax word" usually used. Even Yoruba, it is courtesy to say, "mo ni ÀJOSEPÒ/ÌBÁSEPÒ pelu iyawo mi - I had relation with my wife". However, in the real sense, it means s.exual intercours.e and not mere relation.


This is why Anas was saying in the same (or another) hadith that your website decided not to reveal, " I asked Anas, "Had the Prophet (s) the strength for it?" Anas replied, "We used to say that the Prophet (s) was given the strength of thirty (men)."

# We have explore the hadith in this thread revealing yet great errors in your daeef Bukhari with his inconsistent number of women Abu Hurairah lied Nabi Sulayman slept with:
www.nairaland.com/4169105/abu-huraira-biggest-fraud-sunni#62484561



The hadith in question was not from the mouth of the Prophet (SAW) himself, it is what was observed by a companion, who in all circumstances, cannot know what goes on behind closed door, except AlBaqir believes otherwise. Yes the narration is authentic, because the chain is authentic, it is attributed to the observation of a companion with regards to how the Prophet (SAW) moved from one room of his wife to another. Yes you can assume that it involves sexual relation, but that it what it is, an assumption!

As I had explained and brought another narration carrying the same information, the wife of the Prophet (SAW) who should be an authority with regards to what goes on behind the closed door of the Prophet (SAW) clarified the whole issue, and the companion was mistaken by his observation. The fact that the Prophet (SAW) go round his wives is established, while that of having sexual relation with them in one hour or one night has been obliterated! Only one seeking mischief would still hold on to the interpretation of sexual relations in regards to what really transpired between the Prophet (SAW) and his wives.

Yeah, this is your aim, to cast doubt in the narrations found in Sahih Bukhari, because let's face it, no book in the world of shi'ah can stand close to it. But unfortunately for you, you would have to call all the books containing the sunnah of the Prophet (SAW) as fraud, since narration in Sahih Bukhari can also be found in other books, even those earlier than it, so let's know where you stand!

Assignment for you!

Calculate the total number of Hadiths in Sahih Bukhari

Calculate the amount of Hadiths with error

Calculate the %age error

Error is still less than 5%

Sahih Bukhari is above 95% Sahih!

[size=14pt]SARUMI, SHAYKH HABIB AND SAHIH al-BUKHARI (Part I)[/size]

In the Name of Allāh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful


Shaykh ‘Abd al-Fattāḥ Sarumi, in his video titled Tani Imam Bukhari (1), gave two challenges to Shaykh Ḥabībullāh Ādam al-Ilory (28:24 mins – 29:11 mins):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNJoKiP6afU

"You the Director of al-Markaz, whom people call Shaykh Ḥabībullāh Ādam al-Ilory, please, for God’s sake, show us the source where you found that Imām al-Bukhārī was not the one who compiled Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī. Moreover, your claim that (Ṣaḥīḥ) al-Bukhārī was compiled after one hundred years, we challenge you, tell us where this is mentioned. And also tell us the names of those who did the compilation, just as we mention the religious books and scholars that have explained Imām al-Bukhārī to us."


[size=14pt]OUR INVESTIGATIONS[/size]

Even though it is not directed at us, we voluntarily take up that challenge. Shaykh Sarumi assumes that his copy of Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī was published from an original manuscript of the book, handwritten by Imām Muḥammad b. Ismā’īl al-Bukhārī himself. However, in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, in the “Book of the Beginning of Revelation” (كتاب بدء الوحي), under this chapter:

باب بدء الوحي

We find this statement:
http://library.islamweb.net/newlibrary/display_book.php?flag=1&bk_no=0&bookhad=1

"In the Name of Allāh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. The Book of the Beginning of Revelation. The Chapter of the Beginning of Revelation. Shaykh, Imām, Ḥāfiẓ Abū ‘Abd Allāh Muḥammad b. Ismā’īl b. Ibrāhīm b. al-Mughīrah al-Bukhārī, raḥimahullāh ta’ālā, amīn, said:"

Did al-Bukhārī really write that?! In particular, this statement was obviously written after the death of al-Bukhārī. This was why its author added raḥimahullāh, a traditional prayer for dead people.


Moreover, in the same Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, in the “Book of Gifts” (كتاب الهبة وفضلها والتحريض عليها), under this chapter:
باب من أهدى إلى صاحبه وتحرى بعض نسائه دون بعض

We find this:
http://library.islamweb.net/newlibrary/display_book.php?bk_no=0&ID=1641&idfrom=2444&idto=2445&bookid=0&startno=1

Al-Bukhārī said: “The last statement is the story of Fāṭimah narrated from Hishām b. ‘Urwah, from a man, from al-Zuhrī, from Muḥammad b. ‘Abd al-Raḥman.”

We ask Shaykh Sarumi. Do you seriously believe that Imām al-Bukhārī wrote that in the Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī in our hands today?

Finally, in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, in the “Book of Knowledge” (كتاب العلم), under this chapter:
باب ما جاء في العلم وقوله تعالى وقل رب زدني علما

We find this report:
http://library.islamweb.net/newlibrary/display_book.php?idfrom=63&idto=63&bk_no=0&ID=51

Muḥammad b. Yūsuf al-Farabrī informed us, and Muḥammad b. Ismā’īl al-Bukhārī narrated to us, saying: ‘Ubayd Allāh b. Mūsā narrated to us, that Sufyān said: “When it (i.e. a ḥadīth) is read to a ḥadīth scholar, there is no problem if he says: ‘he narrated to me.’”

Who exactly wrote this? Was it truly al-Bukhārī? Or was it someone else? Moreover, this person narrated from al-Farabrī, the student of al-Bukhārī. Therefore, it definitely was not al-Bukhārī. So, who was this anonymous figure, the real compiler of Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī in our hands today? Of course, it is apparent that he had narrated the book from al-Farabrī (d. 320 H); and al-Farabrī had narrated it from al-Bukhārī (d. 256 H). Yet, there are a few problems created by this reality. If this anonymous compiler remains unidentifiable, then every chain of transmission in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī becomes majhūl (unknown), and therefore ḍa’īf (weak), due to him. Thus, we must know him, and we must find evidence that he was trustworthy and reliable.

Al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Ḥajar al-‘Asqalānī, in his Fatḥ al-Bārī, vol. 1, p. 8, records a report which seems to identify this anonymous narrator:
http://islamport.com/w/srh/Web/2747/6.htm
Imām Abū al-Walīd al-Bājī al-Mālikī has explained the reason for that in the introduction to his book about the names of the narrators of al-Bukhārī:

Al-Hāfiẓ Abū Dharr ‘Abd al-Raḥīm b. Aḥmad al-Harwī – al-Ḥāfiẓ Abū Isḥāq Ibrāhīm b. Aḥmad al-Mustamlī:

“I copied the book of al-Bukhārī from his original manuscript, which was with his companion, Muhammad b. Yūsuf al-Farabrī. I saw that he had not completed many things in it; there were many blank pages there, including some subchapter headings under which he had not written anything, and some aḥādīth for which he had not written any subchapter heading. So we added some of those to the others.”

He was al-Mustamlī (d. 376 H). He claimed to have seen al-Bukhārī’s own handwritten copy of his Ṣaḥīḥ with al-Farabrī. In his testimony, he confirmed that al-Bukhārī actually died without completing the book. So, al-Mustamlī clearly made changes to the text of the book while copying it, and effectively completed it. Therefore, the compiler and completer of Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, as we have it today, was none other than al-Mustamlī. If others had also compiled their own copies, we do not have theirs. We have only the version of al-Mustamlī.


We believe that this sufficiently answers the challenge of Shaykh Sarumi. We have provided the “source” which proves that Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, as it is in our hands today, was NOT compiled by Imām al-Bukhārī himself. Rather, what we have is only al-Mustamlī’s recension. That “source” is Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī itself!


Meanwhile, the oldest known extant manuscript of Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī was written in 370 H, according to the popular Salafī fatwā website, IslamQA:
https://islamqa.info/en/193912

If you want to ask about how old the manuscripts that are extant today are, the Orientalist Manjana said in Cambridge in 1936 CE that the oldest manuscript he had come across up to that point was written in 370 AH, according to the narration of al-Mirwazi from al-Farbari. See Tareekh at-Turaath by Fu’aad Sizkeen (1/228).


Please note that al-Mirwazī (d. 371 H) is better known as Abū Zayd al-Mirwazī, or simply Abū Zayd. He was different from al-Mustamlī.

Al-Bukhārī died in 256 H. So, this means that the earliest surviving manuscript – that of Abū Zayd – was written 114 years after al-Bukhārī’s death. Even then, a Salafī researcher, Shaykh Dr. Aḥmad Fāris al-Salūm, gained access to this ancient manuscript and gives this report:
http://www.ahlalhdeeth.com/vb/showpost.php?p=524439&postcount=1

"As for this manuscript – the manuscript of Abū Zayd – what exists of it are 52 pages."

Considering that Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, as we know it, is a book of nine huge volumes, this tiny manuscript of Abū Zayd is apparently of very little – if any – value. Worse still, its writer is unknown, as Dr. al-Salūm confirms:

"The writer started the volume with an explicit statement that he heard (it) from Abū Zayd … It is not clear to me who the author of the manuscript was, and there is nothing in the manuscript that gives any information concerning that."

By Abu Fatimah al-Ilory
http://jabatacheck..com.ng/2016/05/sarumi-shaykh-habib-and-sahih-al.html


All this twisting above is not scholastic at all. It's not every book that is in use today that we can find the source document.

If what the questioner meant by “original copies” is manuscripts that the author wrote in his own hand, then according what rational thinking or logic can it be said that it is essential that the original manuscripts be extant in order to accept that a particular book is correctly attributed to its author?! How many books are there in the world, since people learned how to write, that could meet this irrational condition?!

In order to understand how irrational those who stipulate that condition are, all you have to do is imagine that one of them entered a venerable library or well-known publishing house or international bookstore and said to the person in charge, I will not accept the attribution of any books you have in this huge store unless you give me the original manuscript, written by the author himself, so that I will be certain that these books are soundly attributed to their authors! Doing this would be ignoring all the customs and academic and legal requirements which guarantee to us nowadays that the book is sound and that it will not be claimed by anyone other than the author, such as requirements to register books in the National Library, to get permission to publish, making books well-known to critics and providing well-established evidence to that effect, and other similar academic ways of proving such matters.

We know for certain that some of those who specialise in producing specious arguments know deep down in their hearts how foolish and silly are the things they suggest and say, but at the same time they persist in saying it because they know that merely stating his specious with regard to anything that exists will inevitably have some influence on people’s hearts and minds. Hence whatever results he gets will suffice him, even if he only manages to confuse a few people. What matters to him is that he shuffles the cards and causes confusion with regard to sound ways of thinking.

However, Saheeh al-Bukhaari was heard by ninety thousand men from Imam al-Bukhaari himself (may Allah have mercy on him), as was stated by one of his most famous students, namely Muhammad ibn Yoosuf al-Farbari (d. 320 AH). See: Tareekh Baghdaad (2/9); Tareekh al-Islam (7/375). Al-Farbari’s narration of Saheeh al-Bukhaari was famous because he lived for a long time and was precise in copying it out. He heard it from al-Bukhaari (may Allah have mercy on him) over three years, then a number of trustworthy narrators learned it from him, and from them this book became well-known.

Al-Mustamli (d. 376 AH) – one of those who narrated it from Muhammad ibn Yoosuf al-Farbari – said: I copied the book of al-Bukhaari from its original text that was with Ibn Yoosuf, and I saw that he had not completed it yet; there were many blank pages there, including some isnaads after which he had not written any hadeeths, and some hadeeths for which he had not written any isnaads. So we tried to complete that.

End quote. Narrated by al-Baaji in at-Ta‘deel wa’t-Tajreeh (1/310)

The Saheeh was narrated from al-Farbari by a number of trustworthy narrators, among the most famous of whom were the following:

Al-Mustamli (d. 376 AH), whose name was Ibraaheem ibn Ahmad

Al-Hamawi Khateeb Sarkhas (d. 381 AH), whose name was ‘Abdullah ibn Ahmad

Abu’l-Haytham al-Kashmeehani (d. 389 AH), whose name was Muhammad ibn Makki

Abu ‘Ali ash-Shabwi, whose name was Muhammad ibn ‘Umar

Ibn as-Sakan al-Bazzaaz (d. 353 AH), whose name was Sa‘eed ibn ‘Uthmaan

Abu Zayd al-Mirwazi (d. 371 AH), whose name was Muhammad ibn Ahmad

Abu Ahmad al-Jarjaani (d. 373 AH), whose name was Muhammad ibn Muhammad

Among the trustworthy students of al-Bukhaari who heard his Saheeh directly from him and transmitted it to the people with its isnaads in written form was the imam, hafiz, faqeeh and qaadi, Abu Ishaaq Ibraaheem ibn Ma‘qil ibn al-Hajjaaj an-Nasafi (d. 295). The copy of an- Nasafi was transmitted by Imam al-Khattaabi (may Allah have mercy on him), as he said in his commentary A‘laam al-Hadeeth (1/105): We heard most of this book from the narration of Ibraaheem ibn Ma‘qil an- Nasafi. Khalaf ibn Muhammad al-Khayyaam told us: Ibraaheem ibn Ma‘qil told us, from him.

This is the most famous way that the scholars of hadith had: they would read their books to their students, or their students would read their books to them. Then those books would become well-known through the students and narrators, not through the original manuscript of the author, which was one copy that he kept for himself. There were no printing presses or publishing houses at that time; instead of printing presses there was the narration of students with strong isnaads.

What would any researcher find more authentic than the transmission of trustworthy narrators narrating from the manuscripts that were read to (and checked with) the author himself and approved by him, as they said concerning the copy of as-Saghaanni: He copied it from the manuscript that was read to the author (may Allah have mercy on him)”?

See: Fayd al-Baari by al-Kashmiri.

If you want to ask about how old the manuscripts that are extant today are, the Orientalist Manjana said in Cambridge in 1936 CE that the oldest manuscript he had come across up to that point was written in 370 AH, according to the narration of al-Mirwazi from al-Farbari. See Tareekh at-Turaath by Fu’aad Sizkeen (1/228).

One of the most famous manuscripts of the book that has come down to us in modern times is the copy of al-Haafiz Abu ‘Ali as-Sadafi (d. 514 AH), which he copied from the manuscript written by Muhammad ibn ‘Ali ibn Mahmoud, which was read to Abu Dharr (may Allah have mercy on him) and has his writing on it too. It was kept by al-‘Allaamah at-Taahir ibn ‘Ashoor, who borrowed it from the library of Tobruk in Libya.

There is also the copy of the imam and hafiz Sharaf ad-Deen ‘Ali ibn Ahmad al-Yoonayni, who is known as al-Ba‘li al-Hanbali (d. 701 AH). He checked it against the original copy that was read to al-Haafiz Abu Dharr al-Harawi, and the original copy that was read to al-Aseeli, and the original copy al-Haafiz Ibn ‘Asaakir, and the original copy that was read to Abu’l-Waqt in the presence of the grammarian and linguist Ibn Maalik, the author of al-Alfiyyah (d. 672 AH).

And so on… if we were to keep listing the copies of as-Saheeh that are extant in the manuscript libraries of the world, and how close they were to the time when as-Saheeh was written, and the large numbers of those who copied and checked them, and how trustworthy they were, and how they checked their copies against the authoritative main copies, that would take a great deal of time. It is sufficient for you to go to one of the libraries where manuscripts are kept and ask about Saheeh al-Bukhaari; you will find hundreds of copies with sound chains of transmission going back to Imam al-Bukhaari himself. Al-Fihris ash-Shaamil lists 2327 locations in various libraries in which there are manuscripts of this book.

See: al-Fihris ash-Shaamil li’t-Turaath al-‘Arabi al-Islami al-Makhtoot, al-Hadeeth an-Nabawi wa ‘Uloomuhu (1/493-565).

As for the claim that “some of the commentators on al-Bukhaari discussed the meaning of some hadeeths that are not in al-Bukhaari”, we have not found a single example of that. Differences in the reports in Saheeh al-Bukhaari only occur in a few, very minor cases having to do with the isnaads or some phrases in the texts, or the chapter headings. But to suggest that there are some independent hadeeths under some headings that were mentioned in some manuscripts but not others, we could not find any example of that.

Even if we assume that they exist, it is not something to object to or find strange. If the narrators who narrated from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) differed sometimes, whereby some of the Sahaabah narrated the hadeeth with a particular wording, and others narrated it with a different wording, or some of the Sahaabah narrated a hadeeth and others did not remember it, in dozens of examples, that does not undermine the principle of the Prophetic Sunnah, and it does not shed doubt on the trustworthiness of the Sahaabah who narrated from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). So it is more appropriate that the fact that there are slight differences between the narrators of al-Jaami‘ as-Saheeh should not undermine the basic authenticity of the book or its trustworthiness or its hadeeths and reports.
[b]
We do not doubt that a lack of experience in dealing with the classical Islamic legacy – and indeed a lack of knowledge about the nature of history and manuscripts altogether – is the reason for such misleading ideas or extreme ignorance and lack of understanding on the part of the one who says that.

Otherwise, anyone who has any knowledge of these branches of knowledge will be certain that minor differences in reports or manuscripts in classical books is something natural in the light of the fact that people in the past relied on copying by hand, and because means of communication were very simple, and copyists were sometimes imprecise in adhering to the original text; indeed they were sometimes unaware of alterations that the author himself had introduced to his book that would lead to some differences in the copies, as happened in the case of Sunan at-Tirmidhi, Sunan Abi Dawood, al-Muwatta’ by Imam Maalik, and the Musnad of Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal. Indeed that also happened in the case of the poetry of the Jaahiliyyah before that, and in the books of Plato, Aristotle, and the entire legacy of Greek philosophy, and in the case of both the Torah and the Gospel.
[/b]
We hope that by giving these brief highlights, readers will be alerted to the nature of these specious arguments that are made and will realise that a little rational thinking, with a little experience, will be sufficient to ward off all these specious arguments.

See: Riwaayaat wa Nusakh al-Jaami‘ as-Saheeh li’l-Imam Abu ‘Abdullah Muhammad ibn Ismaa‘eel al-Bukhaari: Diraasah wa Tahleel, by Dr. Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Kareem ibn ‘Ubayd, which was of great use to us in preparing the answer given above.

All this twisting above is not scholastic at all. It's not every book that is in use today that we can find the source document.

# Unfortunately, there is absolutely nothing in the copy-pasting "reply" you have posted. It only making noise with no factual evidence. Therefore its a waste of time for me taking you through it.


# First our argument is crystal clear and that is, the present Sahih Bukhari which has 9 huge volumes was never the manuscript of Imam Bukhari.

PROBLEM 1: About al-Mustamli

* One connection between Imam Bukhari and his student Yusuf al-Farabri who preserved his Sahih was al-Mustamli (d. 376 H). He claimed to have seen al-Bukhari's own handwritten copy of his sahih with al-Farabri

In his testimony, he confirmed that al-Bukhari actually died
without completing the book. So, al-Mustamli clearly made
changes to the text of the book while copying it, and
effectively completed it. Therefore, the compiler and
completer of Sahih al-Bukhari, as we have it today, was none other than al-Mustamli. If others had also compiled their own copies, we do not have theirs. We have only the version of al-Mustamli.


PROBLEM 2: About Abu Zayd al-Mirzawi

We thank God that your copy-pasted reply affirmed as we have submitted that Abu Zayd al-Mirzawi (d. 371) had the oldest manuscript.

Al-Bukhari died in 256 H. So, this means that the earliest
surviving manuscript – that of Abu Zayd – was written
114 years after al-Bukhari's death. Even then, a Salafi
researcher, Shaykh Dr. Ahmad Faris al-Salum, gained
access to this ancient manuscript and gives this report:

"As for this manuscript – the manuscript of Abu Zayd –
what exists of it are 52 pages."
http://www.ahlalhdeeth.com/vb/showpost.php?

How did we come about 9 volumes of thousands ahadith today?


PROBLEM 3: The content

We have given handful example with references from today's "sahih Bukhari" which have for example:

# Imam Bukhari reported to us

# Imam Bukhari said

# And the usage of "Rahimahullah" after the mention of Imam Bukhari.


Therefore, with all these facts (and more), how can anyone in his right sensible mind claimed the PRESENT DAY sahih Bukhari was the book of Imam Bukhari?

The hadith in question was not from the mouth of the Prophet (SAW) himself, it is what was observed by a companion, who in all circumstances, cannot know what goes on behind closed door, except AlBaqir believes otherwise. Yes the narration is authentic, because the chain is authentic, it is attributed to the observation of a companion with regards to how the Prophet (SAW) moved from one room of his wife to another. Yes you can assume that it involves sexual relation, but that it what it is, an assumption!

# This has absolutely NOTHING to do with Albaqir faah grin

The fact remains that you and your copy-pasted reply have been corrected that those ahadith of Anas Ibn Malik meant sexual relation. And alhamdulillah that you now agreed that Anas might had made mistake going by his assumption. This is a way forward compare to your copied reply's stubbornness that the ahadith does not meant sexual relation that it was just mere visits.

Yes, in Sunni ilm rijal, the chain is correct. The fact is we did not submit our criticism based on the sanad rather it was based on the matn which is erroneous grin


sino:

As I had explained and brought another narration carrying the same information, the wife of the Prophet (SAW) who should be an authority with regards to what goes on behind the closed door of the Prophet (SAW) clarified the whole issue, and the companion was mistaken by his observation. The fact that the Prophet (SAW) go round his wives is established, while that of having sexual relation with them in one hour or one night has been obliterated! Only one seeking mischief would still hold on to the interpretation of sexual relations in regards to what really transpired between the Prophet (SAW) and his wives.

# Yeah, I agreed with you that the wives of the Prophet were in a better by far position to report what transpire between them and their loving husband, not sahabah with conjectures among themselves.

You neglected this from my post; "However, Saheeh al-Bukhaari was heard by ninety thousand men from Imam al-Bukhaari himself (may Allah have mercy on him), as was stated by one of his most famous students, namely Muhammad ibn Yoosuf al-Farbari (d. 320 AH). See: Tareekh Baghdaad (2/9); Tareekh al-Islam (7/375). Al-Farbari’s narration of Saheeh al-Bukhaari was famous because he lived for a long time and was precise in copying it out. He heard it from al-Bukhaari (may Allah have mercy on him) over three years, then a number of trustworthy narrators learned it from him, and from them this book became well-known....

Bros shebi u go school? Try and have some little decorum! A Scholastic person will understand that a student can finish his teacher's book based on what he was taught.

Bukhari knew several hadith off-hand which he transmitted to several trustworthy students! Even if one manuscript is incomplete the student can complete what his teacher has not finished.

The students were aware of this hadith and they will never have included this in Bukhari:

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Telling lies about me is not like telling lies about anyone else. Whoever tells lies about me deliberately, let him take his place in Hell.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1229.

Empiree

Same reasoning same argument. This Shiites will never stop attacking the truth! ok for the umpteenth time i will extract from that my previous copy and past as you call it.

"Among the trustworthy students of al-Bukhaari who heard his Saheeh directly from him and transmitted it to the people with its isnaads in written form was the imam, hafiz, faqeeh and qaadi, Abu Ishaaq Ibraaheem ibn Ma‘qil ibn al-Hajjaaj an-Nasafi (d. 295). The copy of an- Nasafi was transmitted by Imam al-Khattaabi (may Allah have mercy on him), as he said in his commentary A‘laam al-Hadeeth (1/105): We heard most of this book from the narration of Ibraaheem ibn Ma‘qil an- Nasafi. Khalaf ibn Muhammad al-Khayyaam told us: Ibraaheem ibn Ma‘qil told us, from him.

This is the most famous way that the scholars of hadith had: they would read their books to their students, or their students would read their books to them. Then those books would become well-known through the students and narrators, not through the original manuscript of the author, which was one copy that he kept for himself. There were no printing presses or publishing houses at that time; instead of printing presses there was the narration of students with strong isnaads."


Whoever tell lies on the Prophet will surely enter Hell. And may Allah send His blessing on the Prophets, their companions and families and on all those who strive in following & promoting the Sunnah till the day of Qiyam

In your desperation to reply with your preconceived parochial intentions, you never paid attention to the following which was part of the article I referenced:

"Further clarification:

One may refer to the narration from Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, in which he related the same issue of Prophet, may Allah bless him, all his wives in a single with him being given the "strength of thirty men." One may say this implies the Prophet, may Allah bless him, used to have intercourse with all his wives. But how can the implied understanding of some other companion be taken in precedence over a direct authentic report from none other than the wife of the Holy Prophet, may Allah bless him? Who else would have been more knowledgeable of such intimate details of the Prophet's personal life?

Similarly even the word يَطُوفُ implies 'intercourse' when used in relation to a person going to his wife [or wives] it will not work here for an explicit authentic report from the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him, bars us."

For your information, there is nothing wrong with authenticity of the matn, it is a statement of a companion, it is harmless (except if you intend mischief) and they were humans, and it did not in any way depreciate the authenticity of Sahih Bukhari which you are trying too hard to discredit!

May Allah (SWT) Guide you!

[size=14pt]SARUMI, SHAYKH HABIB AND SAHIH al-BUKHARI (Part I)[/size]
[size=14pt]OUR INVESTIGATIONS[/size]

Even though it is not directed at us, we voluntarily take up that challenge. Shaykh Sarumi assumes that his copy of Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī was published from an original manuscript of the book, handwritten by Imām Muḥammad b. Ismā’īl al-Bukhārī himself. However, in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, in the “Book of the Beginning of Revelation” (كتاب بدء الوحي), under this chapter:

باب بدء الوحي

We find this statement:
http://library.islamweb.net/newlibrary/display_book.php?flag=1&bk_no=0&bookhad=1

"In the Name of Allāh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. The Book of the Beginning of Revelation. The Chapter of the Beginning of Revelation. Shaykh, Imām, Ḥāfiẓ Abū ‘Abd Allāh Muḥammad b. Ismā’īl b. Ibrāhīm b. al-Mughīrah al-Bukhārī, raḥimahullāh ta’ālā, amīn, said:"

Did al-Bukhārī really write that?! In particular, this statement was obviously written after the death of al-Bukhārī. This was why its author added raḥimahullāh, a traditional prayer for dead people.


Moreover, in the same Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, in the “Book of Gifts” (كتاب الهبة وفضلها والتحريض عليها), under this chapter:
باب من أهدى إلى صاحبه وتحرى بعض نسائه دون بعض

We find this:
http://library.islamweb.net/newlibrary/display_book.php?bk_no=0&ID=1641&idfrom=2444&idto=2445&bookid=0&startno=1

Al-Bukhārī said: “The last statement is the story of Fāṭimah narrated from Hishām b. ‘Urwah, from a man, from al-Zuhrī, from Muḥammad b. ‘Abd al-Raḥman.”

We ask Shaykh Sarumi. Do you seriously believe that Imām al-Bukhārī wrote that in the Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī in our hands today?

Finally, in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, in the “Book of Knowledge” (كتاب العلم), under this chapter:
باب ما جاء في العلم وقوله تعالى وقل رب زدني علما

We find this report:
http://library.islamweb.net/newlibrary/display_book.php?idfrom=63&idto=63&bk_no=0&ID=51

Muḥammad b. Yūsuf al-Farabrī informed us, and Muḥammad b. Ismā’īl al-Bukhārī narrated to us, saying: ‘Ubayd Allāh b. Mūsā narrated to us, that Sufyān said: “When it (i.e. a ḥadīth) is read to a ḥadīth scholar, there is no problem if he says: ‘he narrated to me.’”

Who exactly wrote this? Was it truly al-Bukhārī? Or was it someone else? Moreover, this person narrated from al-Farabrī, the student of al-Bukhārī. Therefore, it definitely was not al-Bukhārī. So, who was this anonymous figure, the real compiler of Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī in our hands today? Of course, it is apparent that he had narrated the book from al-Farabrī (d. 320 H); and al-Farabrī had narrated it from al-Bukhārī (d. 256 H). Yet, there are a few problems created by this reality. If this anonymous compiler remains unidentifiable, then every chain of transmission in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī becomes majhūl (unknown), and therefore ḍa’īf (weak), due to him. Thus, we must know him, and we must find evidence that he was trustworthy and reliable.

This is ignorance at its peak, must you expose every single lowly acts of yours? If it is because it is said in the book "bukhari said" means bukhari isn't the original author, then it means when my father says something and I say "my father says" then my father isn't the original person that said it, you see how stupid that sounds?

The book was narrated from imam bukhari, so baba fati when you are narrating from somebody what do you say? Isn't it "such and such said:" so how does that negates the original owner of the statement?

Al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Ḥajar al-‘Asqalānī, in his Fatḥ al-Bārī, vol. 1, p. 8, records a report which seems to identify this anonymous narrator:
http://islamport.com/w/srh/Web/2747/6.htm
Imām Abū al-Walīd al-Bājī al-Mālikī has explained the reason for that in the introduction to his book abouut the names of the narrators of al-Bukhārī:

Al-Hāfiẓ Abū Dharr ‘Abd al-Raḥīm b. Aḥmad al-Harwī – al-Ḥāfiẓ Abū Isḥāq Ibrāhīm b. Aḥmad al-Mustamlī:

“I copied the book of al-Bukhārī from his original manuscript, which was with his companion, Muhammad b. Yūsuf al-Farabrī. I saw that he had not completed many things in it; there were many blank pages there, including some subchapter headings under which he had not written anything, and some aḥādīth for which he had not written any subchapter heading. So we added some of those to the others.”

I checked your link and found out the person is saying something else and you are bringing in something else, what exactly made ibn hajar this narration? Wasn't he trying to solve the problem of going to sahih bukhari and seeing hadeeth that don't match the heading of the subchapter or a subchapter, thus this statement the imam Abul waleed brought telling us the origin of the problem, that they saw subchapters being blank(whereas it has been explained – in the same link you brought yourself – that all the hadeeth kept for that subchapter did not all meet imam bukhari requirements for accepting hadeeth, so he left it blank) and they put some of the hadeeth in a wrong subchapter hence the statement "'so we filled some of that to others'.
And imam Abul waleed(from your own source again) continues: "What points to correctness of this statement is that the narration of Abu ishaaq(al-mustamliy), Abu Muhammad, Abu haytham and Abu zaid all differ in terms of arrangement what should come first and should come last coupled with the fact that, they all copied from one source(al-farabri's soure)"

So if the difference between the riwaayaat is due to what should come first and should come last, then how can you lie that what is intended by Abu ishaaq is that he completed the book, as in adding things not originally in the book? If it were so, why then was that just the difference?

Abul waleed continues: "So that is why you'll see two subheadings or more following each other without any hadeeth"
So this last statement shows once more, what is intended by Abu ishaaq's "we filled some of that to others" because some other copiers didn't do the same of did something totally different! So again albaqir, your lie has been exposed, I wonder how you sleep peacefully with lies.

He was al-Mustamlī (d. 376 H). He claimed to have seen al-Bukhārī’s own handwritten copy of his Ṣaḥīḥ with al-Farabrī. In his testimony, he confirmed that al-Bukhārī actually died without completing the book. So, al-Mustamlī clearly made changes to the text of the book while copying it, and effectively completed it. Therefore, the compiler and completer of Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, as we have it today, was none other than al-Mustamlī. If others had also compiled their own copies, we do not have theirs. We have only the version of al-Mustamlī.

You see the nonsense? Mustamliy said he put hadeeth in subchapters, while some other left it like that, now you claim he completed the books by addin and went further to claim only mustaml copy is available today? Well we have the riwaayah of al-aseeliy, also that of kareemah al-marooziyyah

Please note that al-Mirwazī (d. 371 H) is better known as Abū Zayd al-Mirwaz

Abeg it is Al-marooziy not mirwazi....

Al-Bukhārī died in 256 H. So, this means that the earliest surviving manuscript – that of Abū Zayd – was written 114 years after al-Bukhārī’s death. Even then, a Salafī researcher, Shaykh Dr. Aḥmad Fāris al-Salūm, gained access to this ancient manuscript and gives this report:
http://www.ahlalhdeeth.com/vb/showpost.php?p=524439&postcount=1

"As for this manuscript – the manuscript of Abū Zayd – what exists of it are 52 pages."

Considering that Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, as we know it, is a book of nine huge volumes, this tiny manuscript of Abū Zayd is apparently of very little – if any – value. Worse still, its writer is unknown, as Dr. al-Salūm confirms:

"The writer started the volume with an explicit statement that he heard (it) from Abū Zayd … It is not clear to me who the author of the manuscript was, and there is nothing in the manuscript that gives any information concerning tha

Again, nonsense, its really annoying I had to reply to something that has not academic worth at all, I mean, who presents arguments like this? You'll pick statements from middle even tho the writer is talking of something else...the writer of that article you pointed to as your source is talking about the copy written by abu zayd, how does that negate the fact that other individuals narrated Bukhari from him fully? So because we can't find the handwritten copy of that of Abu zayd written by himself, then his riwaayah is lost? How weak can an argument get? For your information the Al-aseeliy I mentioned narrated from Abu zayd and his narration is present till today.

It's because they don't know anything. They thrive on unnecessary rigidity and also lack critical thinking



I know this is rather late, but come to think of it how can it be that two misguided fools are saying what they don't even know.
You dullards think Imaam Bukhaari and Shaykh al-abaani (May Allaah have mercy on both) come every week on Nairaland to spew rubbish like you guys are doing.

When a shi'a raafidhah jams a jaahil the result is the post above.
Nansense and radarada.

Can't we hear our selves out without throwing insults around? What is wrong with the Muslim world self? If you have a counter argument, present it in a clear manner and through that, we achieve results. What's hard to do in that? Shia ko, Chair ni angry




Poo can you please shout your buccal cavity.
Even a counter argument is presented before you will be mentally stable enough to discern it?

Some of you just come online and start spewing nonsense because you deceive yourself into thinking that you have something of knowledge when you can't even tell your left from your right.

You think. counter arguments are written and approved on Nairaland?

Most of have a very long way to go.
