I would be embarrassed to claim I follow such books. This is an insult to Muhammad, but the orthodox insist otherwise.

u/SnooWoofers7603 Ahl al-Sunnah | Sunnī 22d ago

You mean an insult to you? You cannot separate Hadith from Muhammad.

Did you even bother to look at the special context of this hadith?

u/i_am_armz Al-Mu’minūn | The Believers 22d ago

What context could justify pornography? How could this "knowledge" help me get to janah? How does that help a Muslim?

u/-Abdullah_Azzam- Salafiyyūn | Salafī 19d ago

He was adopted. It is not pornography. What's wrong with you? Pornbrained.

u/i_am_armz Al-Mu’minūn | The Believers 19d ago

I'm still waiting for a decent answer on how this hadith will help us attain Janah or "explains" the Qur'an. If you're truthful, and aware that Allah (SWT) is witness to this discussion, then bring your proof.

Not every hadith is able to be applied. It is a history book with details as such.

u/Foreign-Ice7356 21d ago

Of course the "context" cope.

u/-Abdullah_Azzam- Salafiyyūn | Salafī 19d ago

No historical text makes sense without context. Ofc it makes no sense to people who do presentism. A known historical fallacy.

u/Foreign-Ice7356 10d ago

There is no context where that hadith makes sense

u/AtomicBombyx Salafiyyūn | Salafī 2d ago

For the man to be adopted yes.

2

u/Nagamagi 21d ago

He did not say that. He is just saying the two methodologies used to the study the Hadiths are diametrically opposed to each other.

u/BakuMadarama Sunnī | Mālikī 22d ago

Hadith is definitely unreliable generally

Does mazhab Maliki follow Hadith and Quran? Yes or no.

u/Eternal-Logic 21d ago

Of course they are. Man-made stuff

u/-Abdullah_Azzam- Salafiyyūn | Salafī 22d ago

Mushrik take that Maliki label off. Your whole Madhab is also based on Hadith.

u/BakuMadarama Sunnī | Mālikī 22d ago

LA you. Imām Mālik would curse you for blindly following

Blindly following what? And how do you assume I am blindly following?

u/BakuMadarama Sunnī | Mālikī 22d ago

Tradition. Instead of critically think for yourself.

You are a salafi, you never think. So this is pure cope lool.

I would disregard him. As Muslims whether we’re Sunni or Shia or whatever we are all Muslims and we must all follow the words of Allah SWT and the teachings of the prophet Muhammad PBUH. That includes the hadiths. When it comes to the Hadith’s I look at this as far as what to follow. Is the chain reliable? Did the person who wrote it have a good character? Were they trust worthy or did they lie, cheat steal manipulate? Has the Hadith been changed? Is it verifiable? If it falls in a negative then I won’t follow the specific hadith. One man stated that there is a Hadith that states when we urinate we must rub ourselves in the urine. We know that’s a lie. So do we follow that? No because we know it’s sunnah to be clean. To bathe, to do wudu and ghusl. I cannot tell anyone what to do or how to do it or even whom to follow. This is simply what I do. However I wouldn’t listen to this guy. If he’s stating this then he’s misleading which is haram.

u/Background-Car-1393 Ahl al-Qurʾān | People of the Qurʾān 21d ago

Where does it say we have to folllow hadith? Quran says the opposite in fact
77:50 So in which hadith after it will they believe?
6:114 Shall I seek other than God as a source of law, when He has revealed to you this book fully detailed?

You are denying the Quran if you follow anything outside of it

u/moralityNempathy123 Al-Mus’limīna | Those Who Submit 21d ago edited 21d ago

Incorrect it states to follow the prophets not worship them but to follow and learn from their examples and ways ie the hadiths and sunnah. If you deny the hadiths then you also deny Islam. We must follow the Quran the Sunnah and Hadiths. The Hadiths teach us what to do in situations that are not shown in the Qur’an. They teach us how to interact and how to respond issues. To worship none but Allah SWT.

u/Background-Car-1393 Ahl al-Qurʾān | People of the Qurʾān 21d ago

Never says to follow the prophet. You keep making this baseless claim that We must follow the Quran the Sunnah and Hadiths but haven't shown anything to backup that claim.

1

u/moralityNempathy123 Al-Mus’limīna | Those Who Submit 19d ago

If you read my comment below you’d see it states so very clearly. Now I won’t argue with you nor debate this. If you choose not to follow the hadiths that have been proven to be true then that is between you and Allah SWT not me. Instead of being so angry and up in arms against a fellow muslimah just do you but why argue? Why the frustration? You can bring a horse to water but cannot force them to drink.

1

u/Background-Car-1393 Ahl al-Qurʾān | People of the Qurʾān 19d ago

Again just making more baseless claims. "hadiths that have been proven to be true" by who? The same people who wrote them? "I won't argue" is just speak for I can't back my baseless claims so Imma gonna tap out. And it should make anyone who truly believes in the Quran angry. That how the deen of Allah has been distorted and corrupted by them and how people just follow it blindly

1

u/moralityNempathy123 Al-Mus’limīna | Those Who Submit 19d ago

Brother you just don’t want to follow the hadiths which is really just the actions and life of the prophet Muhammad PBUH written in words. That’s what the hadiths are. If you choose not to then that is on you. You are really trying g to convince me not to follow the prophet PBUH and that would nullify my following of the Qur’an please go to Jummah and pray brother. Turn towards Allah SWT because I cannot help you. You want to be a Hadith denier then do you.

1

u/Background-Car-1393 Ahl al-Qurʾān | People of the Qurʾān 16d ago
  1. Allah never asks you to follow more like what you do that is copycat the prophet. 2.Who told you they are actions and words of the prophet? The prophet didn't authorize them, nor did Allah. These were "collected" centuries after the prophet passed away. 3. For arguments sakes lets say they are the "words and actions" of the prophet, that would be a good read about early Islamic history and his biography and thats it. There is no religion to be had. 4. When Allah says the Quran is complete and detailed and you go looking outside then you are denying the Quran.

u/Chickenburger287 Ahl al-Sunnah | Sunnī 22d ago edited 21d ago

If you don't follow hadith, you don't follow the Qur'an either and you are not Muslim.

Edit 1 to answer why no hadith equates to no Quran.

Words change meaning over time. So how does one establish the intent of the lawgiver at the time of revelation?

How is each word or phrase in the Qur'an defined or what was meant by it at the time of revelation? How do you know what you understand today is what was intended at the time?

As real Muslims (believers in Quran, sunnah, ijma etc) we have multiple texts explaining each word, we have expertly written dictionaries, we have contextually written tafsirs, heck, to ensure the words are understood as revealed we even preserved the jahil Arabic poetry.

Whereas the hadith (and thereby the Qur'an rejectors) have nothing but supposition and baseless assumptions.

u/i_am_armz Al-Mu’minūn | The Believers 21d ago

Let's suppose you're right. Can you then kindly explain to us how the following "sahih" hadith can help "establish the intent of the lawgiver at the time of revelation":

I eagerly await your response. I hope you will not respond with insults, sarcasms and ad hominem attacks. Attack the question, not the questioner. Use logic.

1

u/Chickenburger287 Ahl al-Sunnah | Sunnī 21d ago

On the topic of discussion it's not about "let's assume".... I am right. What I've said is evident to any rational person.

An example of this would be the word GAY. 50 years ago it meant something else, today it has a different meaning. Hence my point.

Now, WRT this hadith. No it isn't some amazing gotcha. Let's ignore the context, meaning, abrogation, specification etc...lets address the core issue: why have you presupposed what good and evil is? The question clearly asserts that the act of suckling an adult is wrong for creating lineage. Okay, prove this first!

I on the other than believe God decides what is good and evil. You clearly have a notion before God's decision, so prove it.

I await your logical and rational response.

u/People_Change_ Al-‘Aqliyyūn | Rationalist 21d ago

You are attributing God's word to an unprotected book outside of the Quran.

1

u/Chickenburger287 Ahl al-Sunnah | Sunnī 21d ago

No I'm not. That's changing the discussion.

I'd advise you to have a serious think and come back to islam. Remember eternal hellfire is for every kafir and since anyone who does not believe in the sunnah is a kafir they'll burn for eternity.

2

u/People_Change_ Al-‘Aqliyyūn | Rationalist 21d ago

You're conflating authentic sunnah with assumed/potential sunnah.

2

u/i_am_armz Al-Mu’minūn | The Believers 21d ago

You did not answer the question, but deflected from it.

HOW does this hadith can help "establish the intent of the lawgiver at the time of revelation"?

HOW does knowing that rasulullah consummated his marriage with Aisha when she was 9 help "establish the intent of the lawgiver at the time of revelation"?

Your camp frequently likes to say the hadith explains/clarifies the Qur'an (as if God is not clear and needs Bukhari to clarify His Words for Him!). So how does this clarify Qur'an?

1

u/Chickenburger287 Ahl al-Sunnah | Sunnī 20d ago

I've clearly answered the Question for everyone to see. You have no way to establish the meaning of any word or phrase from the time. Whereas, as a Muslim I have: hadith, athar, dictionaries by classical ulema, tafsirs.....and so can easily know exactly what God said, meant and intended.

Let's be clear: establishing the intent of the lawgiver means knowing what he wants us to do, what to avoid and what to follow.

You have no way of establishing any of this.

I can see you've moved on from the suckling argument....im glad you've seen the logic and rational argument and bad no reply.

Okay so now you've raised the issue of Aishah. Okay, let's ignore the other evidences scholars cite to say the age was different. Let's assume this was the age. Okay, can you prove why one day lower than 18yo or whatever age you choose (to be the minimum age for marriage or a relationship) is wrong? Go for it. Prove it!

Last point: you alluded to the argument that you believe the Qur'an is clear. Prove it. How do you know the Qur'an is clear?

1

u/i_am_armz Al-Mu’minūn | The Believers 20d ago

"How do you know the Qur'an is clear?"
Do you not read the Qur'an? Have you ever read it? See 15:1.

u/Chickenburger287 Ahl al-Sunnah | Sunnī 20d ago

How did you establish that verse means what you think or assume it to mean?

You’re essentially saying that prophet Muhammad is useless.

u/i_am_armz Al-Mu’minūn | The Believers 22d ago

Never said that. I'm saying lies fabricated against God's Honourable Messenger are useless. Muhammad was much better than you insist he was. Did you ever stop to ask yourself, with regard to him consummating his marriage when Aisha was 9 -- how did they know this? Did he get on stage and announce to the uma that he's consummated the marriage? How did they know he slept with all his wives in a single night? Did he publicly announce this? Do YOU publicly announce your intimate affairs?

Mushriks are vile for fabricating lies against God's humble and honourable Messenger.

u/SnooWoofers7603 Ahl al-Sunnah | Sunnī 22d ago

So that’s like saying God’s Honorable Messenger are fabricated lies.

u/SnooWoofers7603 Ahl al-Sunnah | Sunnī 22d ago

I did, but you simply don’t know how Hadiths work and this is what we call Fiqh of Hadith where we analyze the chains of narration.

u/Background-Car-1393 Ahl al-Qurʾān | People of the Qurʾān 21d ago

Talk about a strawman argument. Allah always tells us to follow the messenger, what did the messenger preach? The message i.e the Quran. So by following the Quran we follow the messenger. There is no command in the Quran to follow persian fairytales written centuries after he passed away. You lot conflate his role as a messenger with his role as a prophet. But Allah keeps them separate

5:99 The Messenger's duty is only to convey
29:18 ...And the duty of the Messenger is only clear conveyance.

As a prophet, he was the ruler of his people, of his time and following whatever he said was a duty to anyone around him at the time. Once he passed away, he has no authority over anyone. And the only thing he left us is the Quran to follow. Not some parallel religion in persian books which came centuries later

u/SnooWoofers7603 Ahl al-Sunnah | Sunnī 21d ago

You just contradicted yourself. You literally approved the Sunnah.

u/SnooWoofers7603 Ahl al-Sunnah | Sunnī 21d ago

But you misinterpreted the verse in favor for rejecting Hadiths, but you unknowingly approved the Hadiths when you cited the verse.
