Hadith Provide Facts on Hazrat 'Ayesha's Age
by Kaukab Siddique, PhD
(In recent days the abusive attacks on Hadith distributed on the internet have gone out of all bounds. So much so that the attackers in their insistence and excitement are unknowingly attacking the Qur'an itself. One person on the internet has been insisting to his opponent, if you think it is Sunnah to marry so many women, why don't you do so yourself. Evidently the Qur'an in Surah Ahzab makes it very clear that the Prophet, pbuh, could marry many women, though other Muslims are not allowed to marry more than 4 women and that too in special circumstances. Also, women could and would offer themselves to him. When the same thing appears in the Hadith, these attackers start shouting, not knowing that the Hadith is only a reflection of the Qur'an,)
(The Prophet, pbuh, was not an ordinary person. In addition to other dynamic qualities, he had tremendous sexual vitality. One Hadith narrator wrote that the Prophet could visit all his wives in one night. This has excited the critics of Hadith because they have a very low opinion of the Prophet, pbuh. They think his job was only to deliver the book and that was it. They don't notice his jihad and his all-night prayers. They have never been revolutionaries or jihadists and they can't understand that the Prophet's love and compassion was so powerful that women sought refuge with him: In fact he had to stop them from offering themselves to him in many instances.)
The Qur'an is the book of Allah, the perfect and complete guidance. But a book, however great, needs human interpretation and and human role models to make it of practical use to human beings.
Human productions can never be perfect like the Qur'an but the Islamic books of Hadith come the nearest that human production can come to perfection. For instance, out of the 2531 hadith collected by Imam Bukhari about 4 or 5 can be criticized and that also because of a misunderstanding of the methodology of Hadith. This comes to a small decimal point of error, if it can be called error.
In hadith, there are Hadith-e-Nabawi and hadith about the sahaba and the times and age in which they lived. Also, Imam Bukhari a provides subheadings quoting the Qur'an as well as headings about the issues under which he wanted to collect the Hadith.
He very honestly brought together Hadith narrated by people of good character and with proper chains of narration. Books of other religions do not have any comparable stringent rules as he used to make sure of the narrations he collected.
However, one weakness of hadith has to do with calendars and time schedules because these were not so exactly available, owing to the technology of that time, as they are now. However the rules according to which Hadith should be read, reduce this margin of error.
AN IMPORTANT PRINCIPLE OF HADITH STUDY is that Hadith on the same subject should be brought together for understanding the entire subject
One Hadith collected by Imam Bukhari which can be criticized is that about hazrat 'Ayesha's age. INSTEAD OF MAKING SUCH A HUE AND CRY OF ABUSE AGAINST HER AGE AS GIVEN IN ONE HADITH, let's study the Hadith and find out more about hazrat 'Ayesha. And we do need this study because Ayesha Siddiqa (ra) has played a key role in Islam and Islamic history.
Here is a book review I wrote for New Trend magazine. Inshallah, it will help those who want to KNOW WHAT HADITH REALLY SAYS ABOUT HAZRAT 'AYESHA's AGE when she married the Prophet (pbuh). I wrote it in 1989 but abusers attacking Ayesha, r.a., pretend that it was never written which is an attitude inexcusable under any system of scholarship.
BOOK REVIEW:
Tahqeeq-e-'umar-e-Siddiqa-e-kainat (salamAllah alaiha) by Allama Hafiz Qari Habibur Rahman Siddiqui Kandhalwi, published in the Urdu language by Anjuman-e-Uswa-e-hasana Karachi, Pakistan, 64 pages, no date.
This book is essential reading for those who want to know the truth about the greatest personality of Islam after the Prophet: 'Ayesha Siddiqa, on whom are Allah's blessings. I first heard of this book in 1987 and finally a friend in Karachi managed to find it and send it to me. It's a very matter-of -fact and to-the-point book. Apart from the basic material it provides about hazrat 'Ayesha's age, it is also a good experience in learning to understand Hadith.
According to Bukhari's hadith, narrated by Hisham, supposedly from hazrat 'Ayesha herself, she was only 6 years old when the Prophet married her and only 9 years old when she went to him as his wife! Another narration in Bukhari from Hisham alleges that she was so young at the time of her marriage that she took her dolls with her!
These narrations, being in Bukhari, are blindly accepted by Muslims and are a staple of books about the life of hazrat 'Ayesha. Many people have exploited these hadith from Hisham to support child marriages and arranged marriages.
Those who oppose hazrat 'Ayesha's role in Islam owing to sectarian reasons have used these hadith to cast doubts on the importance of her role in Islam. (What could such a young female understand, they imply and sometimes say outright.)
Among "modern" doubters of Hadith, such narrations about Hadith are another reason for poking fun at Hadith itself. How could a sane, knowledgeable person think that a girl of 6 or 9 could have anything really important to teach about Islam, they say.
Also this provided a cause for the enemies of Islam to attack the personality of the Prophet himself who would marry a child!
Most Muslims, however, pass over Hisham's narration about hazrat 'Ayesha's age without comment, taking it for granted just because it is in an authentic book of Hadith.
Allama Habibur Rahman's great achievement is that he has brought evidence from the HADITH LITERATURE ITSELF to correct Hisham's narrations without attacking Hadith as a source of true knowledge. Thus Habibur Rahman is in the line of the true scholars of Islam, starting with hazrat 'Ayesha herself, who criticized Hadith narrations, NOT TO CONDEMN HADITH as a source of Islam second only to the Qur'an but to arrive at real authenticity.
Habibur Rahman carries out his attack on the basis of the principles according to which Hadith should be understood.
For instance: one hadith by itself is not sufficient to decide on a matter if there are related Hadith available in other narrations. There are narrations in Bukhari itself, for instance in Bukhari's kitabut tafseer, which show that hazrat 'Ayesha was older than Hisham's narrations indicate. Then there are Hadith in other books of Hadith about her age, about her role and understanding at various points during the Prophet's life, and about the age of other young companions of the Prophet as compared to her age.
Habibur Rahman also brings in classical books of the study of rijal (the narrators of Hadith after the sahaba) to make his point. Finally, he brings proofs from the classical books of history which, though not as strict in narration as the books of Hadith, do provide details on the issue under discussion. He then uses reasoning and physical facts to prove his point.
The conclusion he comes to is that at the time hazrat 'Ayesha went to the Prophet as his wife, she was at least 19 years old and there is a possibility that she was 25. At the time of her marriage she was at least 16.
During the course of his investigation, Habibur Rahman gives 22 arguments or proofs, and also provides some facts which are known to very few owing to the generally careless reading of Hadith. It is well-known, for instance, that in the battle of Uhud, hazrat 'Ayesha participated in helping the wounded and carrying water to the injured.
What is not so well known is that 'Ayesha Siddiqa, whom Allah has exalted in the Qur'an (Sura Noor), was the only female Islamic participant in the battle of Badr. This the writer proves from an authentic hadith in SAHIH MUSLIM.
And which Muslim does not know the status of those who participated in the battle of Badr! No wonder hazrat 'Umar (as Caliph) gave a bigger stipend to hazrat 'Ayesha than to anyone else in the Prophet's family. Some people are malicious enough to accuse 'Umar (ra) of favoritism to his daughter's friend; others claim that it was because she was most beloved of the holy Prophet. Now we know that 'Umar (always strictly just) was giving her more simply because of her participation in Badr, because he placed the people of Badr over all others.
After reading Habibur Rahman's book, one wonders why Muslims ignore the facts which are before their very eyes. For example, could the Prophet, pbuh, have said this of a 12-year-old girl? (He was consoling Bashr ibn Uqraba who was weeping over the martyrdom of his father in the battle of Uhud. The Prophet said to Bashr:
"Wouldn't you like to have me as your father and 'Ayesha as your mother?" (Could he have said that of a 12-year -old?) Of course many readers often ignore the fact that 14-year old males were not allowed by the Prophet to participate in the battle of Badr. Could he have allowed "10-year-old" 'Ayesha to do so?
As the Allama very rightly pointed out, 'Ayesha (ra) was not one to play with dolls. She played with swords and her participation in battles was the result of her youthful training in battle arts.
She was a young woman when she came to Madina and she knew the entire gamut of classical Arabic poetry which she recited when she visited Bilal and her father Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with both) who fell sick soon after arriving in Madina.
The Allama's comparison of the ages of Fatima, Asma, Osama (Allah be pleased with them) with that of 'Ayesha from authentic narrations leaves no doubt that he is correct and Hisham's narration is incorrect. About Hisham, the Allama documents that he became weak in his narrations when he moved to Iraq in his 71st year. That's when he narrated about hazrat 'Ayesha and her dolls. His Iraqi narrations are not accepted by Imam Malik who accepted his earlier ones. There are indications that old age and other factors had their impact on Hisham.
From tasa' ushra (19 in Arabic), he forgot or managed to drop 'ushra, thus keeping hazrat 'Ayesha's age as 9!
My understanding is that Allah brought hazrat 'Ayesha into the Prophet's household at the age when she was in the prime of youth, intelligence and ability, so that through her the Prophet, pbuh, could educate the young people of all times to come. She was more his friend and companion rather than just his wife. (They had no children.) HER HISTORIC MISSION FROM ALLAH WAS TO BREAK THE CHAINS OF FEMALE SLAVERY and to provide a frank and honest portrait of the Messenger's private and personal life to the billions of human beings who would follow the uswa of Muhammad (peace and blessings be on him) as commanded by the Qur'an, for all times to come.
There can be little doubt that the Example of 'Ayesha (whom Allah has exalted) is an essential part of the example of Muhammad (salAllaho alaihi wassalam).

| Dear Koki, Thanks for another post from Baltimore! I will let you work hard. OK, let me have some mercy on a battered woman. However, here is a glimpse of your favorite Bukhari et al. Find that - For the "Criminals of Islam" marrying a 6 y/o girl is the SUNNAH of the exalted Prophet. ONE WHO IS NOT A MUNKIR-E-HADITH, IS AUTOMATICALLY A MUNKIR-E-QURAN. SEE PROOF HERE: BUKHARI: When the Prophet married Ayesha, she was 6 years old, and the marriage was consummated when she was 9 (and he was 54). [Book of Nikah 3:75 #122]. On the other hand, the Quran ties marriage to adulthood and mental maturity by declaring marriage a solemn covenant (4:21). There is strong historical evidence contrary to Bukhari, but our Mullah loves nothing but trash of this kind. The exalted Prophet never did anything against the Quran. "His character was nothing but the Quran." [Hazrat Ayesha] The Hadith Collection by "Imam" Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Ismail Bukhari is considered by Mullahs and their blind followers as the most authentic book on earth after the Quran. Let's examine it. Most of the references given here belong to Bukhari published by Madina Publishing Company, Karachi, 1982, Printer Hamid & Co. It is nice to see that this version of Bukhari gives us the complete original Arabic text as well which I have checked personally. The translator into Urdu is "Maulana" Abdul Hakim Khan Shahjahanpuri. For the sake of brevity, only the relevant lines have been selected without compromising the meanings and context in the least. Vol = Volume. P or Pg = Page number. # = Hadith or Baab (Chapter) number. Another example, 2:76 would mean Vol 2, page 76. When referring to the Quran, 2:76 will mean Surah 2 verse 76.
Please remember that popular books have many different publishers. That causes some variation in page numbers but, invariably, a little effort can lead the reader to the desired references. It is always of great help to go to the relevant, stated chapter and search the narratives given in The Criminals of Islam.
Please know that an outstanding scholar of Islam, Ubaidullah Sindhi concedes, "I cannot teach Bukhari Hadith to any youngster, or to a non-Muslim because of shame." (Preface to his Tafseer, Ilham-ur-Rahman). Let's explore why he said this …
Mahmood bin Rabe' narrates, "I still remember when I was five years old. The Prophet (S) rinsed his mouth and then poured the water into mine." [Vol 1 Kitabul 'Ilm Pg 130, Hadith #77]. Could the exalted Prophet hold any human being at that level of contempt?
Vol 1 Kitabul 'Ilm Pg 136-137 Ahadith 91, 92, 93 describe such lies: The Prophet's cheeks glowed and his face became red with anger . . . and so on. These statements are absolutely at variance with the Prophet's character, and it appears they were fabricated to defame him. This is only one of the hundreds of such narratives that portray him to be a man of temper. The Prophet (S), in fact, was a cool-minded person with exceptional self-control. The Quran states this:
3:159 It is God's mercy that you (O Messenger) are lenient and compassionate with people. For, if you were harsh and stern of heart, they would have broken away from you.
Prophet Solomon boasted that he would impregnate one hundred women in one night, but only one woman became pregnant and gave birth to a half-formed child. [Book of Nikah 3:110 #226]. This tragedy is reported elsewhere to have occurred because Solomon did not say "In-Sha-Allah" (God willing) before going to his hundred wives. The Messenger (S) used to visit all nine of his wives every night. [Vol 3 Pg 52 Book of Nikah, #34]. On the other hand, Bukhari repeatedly narrates that the Prophet used to stand at prayers all night, so much so that his feet used to swell.
The Messenger (S) used to have intercourse with all of his wives in one hour of the day and night (without taking a bath) and these (wives) were eleven. The narrator tries to preempt an objection by stating that he had the (sexual) power of 30 men. [Vol 1 Pg 189, Book of Bath #266]. The Mullah mind has so terribly affected our masses that even derogatory statements such as this become praiseworthy. The exalted Prophet was a perfect guide to humanity. He was not a man of unbridled desire. The women who lived in his household were primarily there for shelter. Only a contemptuous mind can perceive the Mothers of Believers as objects of pleasure for the Prophet. Bukhari highlights the above Hadith by putting a special heading: "To have sex with many women with only one bath." That stifles any apologetic defenses of this Hadith by the Mullahs.
The Prophet said that the best man amongst his followers is the one who has the greatest number of wives. [Vol 3:52 Book of Nikah #62]. Many Mullahs offer an apology here that the Prophet (S) is referring to himself. Well, that only compounds the insult. There have been 'Muslim' kings who had harems of hundreds of women. The Quran (49:13) tells us that the best person is the one who is best in conduct.
The Prophet (S) asked, "Who will buy this slave from me?" Hazrat Na'eem bought him for 800 Darham. [Vol 3 Kitabul Ikrah Pg 669 #1838]. Did the Prophet sell slaves?
Ayesha said to the Prophet, "Won't you rather graze your camel onto a tree whose leaves have not yet been grazed?" 'Arwa bin Zubair said that Ayesha meant she was the only virgin the Prophet had married. [Vol 3 Book of Nikah Pg 55 #71]
The Prophet disapproved of his companion Jabir's plan to marry a widow and asked, "Why did you not marry a virgin so that you played with her and she played with you?" [Same Volume, same page]. The Prophet (S) was extremely compassionate to widows and divorced women.
Hazrat Ali stated that he constantly suffered from "jiryan" (drainage of prostate secretions). [Vol 1, Kitabul 'Ilm, The Book of Knowledge Pg 150 #132]. This fictitious condition is widely believed in the East to take away manhood. Someone is trying to dishonor the great companion of the Prophet (S).
The sun rises between the two antlers of Satan. [Beginning of Creation 2:235 #504]. Does this need a comment?
Prophet Abraham lied three times. [Book of Nikah 3:57 #78]. After insulting the Patriarch of Faith, the narrator goes on to justify the accusation with lame arguments.
After the fall of Khyber, people described the beauty of Safia Bint Hui, the new bride of a slain enemy soldier. The Prophet chose her for himself. On the way to Madina he camped and had intercourse with her. His companions did not know if she was a wife or a concubine. Later, a veil was drawn between her and the men-folk and they came to know that she was a wife. [Book of Sales and Book of Nikah 3:57 #78]. Elsewhere, the narrator of the wicked story states that Safia was initially given to Wahia Kulbi, but because of her beauty, the Prophet chose her for himself, and asked Wahia to pick another woman.
v An important reminder: The Quran (47:4) ordains that prisoners of war are to be freed either for ransom or as an act of kindness. There is no third option. How could the Prophet (S) and his noble companions enslave human beings?
The Prophet said, "Bad luck and misfortune can exist in a wife, a home and a horse." [Book of Nikah 3:60 #85]
"After my time, the greatest tribulation for men will be women." [Book of Nikah 3:61 #89]
The Prophet said to a man, "I make you the owner of this woman because you can recite some Surahs of the Quran." [Book of Nikah 3:69 #109]
"A woman presented herself to the Prophet. He intently gazed at her from head to toe and then lowered his head." (He was not interested in her.) [Book of Nikah 3:71 #113]
Have you noticed the degradation of women in the above five Ahadith? Could these be the words and deeds of the noble Prophet? The Quran testifies that the exalted Prophet had sublime morals and that he was a role model for all mankind. (68:4, 33:21)
When the Prophet married Ayesha, she was 6 years old, and the marriage was consummated when she was 9 (and he was 54). [Book of Nikah 3:75 #122]. On the other hand, the Quran ties marriage to adulthood and mental maturity by declaring marriage a solemn covenant (4:21). There is strong historical evidence contrary to Bukhari, but our Mullah loves nothing but trash of this kind. The exalted Prophet never did anything against the Quran. "His character was nothing but the Quran." [Hazrat Ayesha]
I saw that most of those entering the gate of hellfire were women. [Book of Nikah I3:97 #182] NAQISAATI 'AQL-INW-WAD-DEEN: Vol 1 Pg 198 Kitabil Haidh #295. The Prophet (S) passed by a group of women. He said to them, "O Women! Give alms, because I have seen you burning in hell in great numbers." When the women asked the reason for it, he said:
v "You women curse too much!" v "You are ungrateful to your husbands." v "In spite of being deficient in intellect as well as in religion, you are capable of prevailing over a man of wisdom. You are a creation the like of which has never been seen." v "Is not the testimony of a woman one half that of a man? This is the measure of deficiency of your intellect!" v "And mind you, when a woman has her periods she is not allowed to pray or fast. This is the measure of your deficiency in religion."
Dear reader, the Quran stresses gender equity. The Creator designed the physique and physiology of men and women. So the question of deficiency in intellect and religion does not arise. Traditions of this nature were fabricated for enslavement of women. The Quran nowhere mentions that women cannot pray or fast during menstruation or that a woman's witness is only one half of a man's. Without any doubt, you will find Mullahs and Mullahnis trying to defend and rationalize even this great insult.
Woman's witness according to the Quran, verse 2:282. First of all, the matter under discussion only pertains to a deed of loan. The verse says that two men (not one) should witness the signing of the document. If two men are not available, then let there be one man and two women, all of them you satisfactorily consider competent as witnesses - so that even if the witnessing woman gets distracted (for example, by her baby), the accompanying woman may support and remind her. Hence, the second woman is not a witness in the court of law. She will not speak to the court. She is there only to support and remind the witnessing woman if she gets distracted.
Fitna (tribulation) is in the East. [Book of Talaq 3:132 #275]. We seriously doubt that the exalted Prophet, called the "mercy for the worlds" in the Quran 21:107, could confine his vision to East or West.
Ayesha said to the Prophet, "Ah! My head is bursting." He said, "I wish it did and I would pray for your forgiveness." Ayesha responded: "You want me to die so that you can spend the next night with another wife." [Vol 3 Pg 247 Kitab-ut-Tibb, The Book of Medicine, #626]
Run from the leper as you run from the lion. [Kitab-ut-Tibb, Book of Medicine 3:259 #663]. It is well-known that leprosy requires years of close contact to get transmitted. Still, we find contradiction in several Ahadith. For example, La 'Udwa wa La Teeara wa La Haamma (There is no such thing as contagion, omen or a hunger snake in the stomach.)
A man inquired, "We earn income from these bondwomen, (other narratives mention prostitution) so can we do 'Azl (Coitus interruptus) with them?" The Prophet said, "There is no sin in doing that." [Kitabul Qadr, the Book of Destiny, 3:543 #1514]. The most famous Mullah of the 20th century, Maududi, comments on this Hadith that it is alright for a master to marry off a slave girl to another while using her for all personal services except sex. [Tafhim Vol 1 Pg 340]
Some people got sick in Madina. The Prophet advised them to drink camel's urine and milk. After they became well, they killed a shepherd. The Prophet ordered that their hands and feet be chopped off and their eyes enucleated. They were laid on burning sand. When they asked for water it was denied them. So much so that they tasted sand until they died. [Kitabul Mahrabain and Kitabut Tibb Vol 3 Pg 254 #646]. Dear reader, could the compassionate and merciful Prophet inflict torture on human beings? Is it possible that the narrators of this Hadith want to portray the Prophet (S) as barbaric? Were these narrators really Muslim?
Seeing a black woman in a dream is the sign of an oncoming or moving epidemic. [Kitabut Ta'abir Vol 3 Pg 706 #1923]. Ah, the poor woman! Here comes more…
The Prophet's wives awoke late one morning. He said, "Many women who are dressed up in this world will be raised naked in the Hereafter." [Kitabul Fatan 3:718 #1950]. Notice the gross insult thrown at the Mothers of Believers.
Some Muslims sided with hypocrites and idolaters and used to invite them to attack the Prophet! [Kitabul Fatan 3:723 #1965]. The Quran mentions all the noble companions as staunch believers with whom Allah was pleased. (8:74, 9:100)
The exalted Prophet said, "I will be the first one to regain consciousness in Qiyamat (Resurrection), but I will find Prophet Moses holding the foot of the Throne of God. [Hadith 1750 Kitab-ut-Tafseer Vol 2 Pg 784]. This Hadith has obviously been contrived by some non-Muslim to belittle Muhammad (S) in comparison to Prophet Moses.
I was walking outside and suddenly saw the angel of Hira sitting on a throne that filled the earth and the sky. I was terrified so much that I was about to fall to the ground. [Bukari, Beginning of Creation Vol 2 Pg 224 Hadith #471]. The exalted Prophet was the most courageous person the planet has ever seen and angels are not fond of playing tricks with Prophets.
The Prophet allowed Muhammad bin Muslima to kill a non-Muslim, Ka'b bin Ashraf, through deception. [Vol 2 Kitabul Jihad 2:134 #282]
The Prophet used to become very restless and frightened whenever he saw the sky overcast. [Bukhari, Beginning of Creation 2:213 #440]. The exalted Prophet preached against omens and superstitions and was a man of great courage. But here is the Mullah apology: "Well, he used to worry about God taking his people to task." What! Go through the entire Quran and you will find every Prophet being informed of the oncoming doom very much in advance.
Hoors (beauties of the heaven) will be full-breasted and free of menstruation. [Bukhari, Beginning of Creation 2:225 #473]. Thanks!
Important Note: Hoor is the plural in Arabic meaning "intelligent and righteous companions". Ahwar is the male gender and Haoora is the female. The promise of such companions in Paradise is referred to in the Quran 44:54 and 52:20. For centuries, our historians and Imams have portrayed hoors only as voluptuous women of Paradise.
The hellfire complained to Allah, "One part of me is eating the other part." So, the hellfire was allowed two breaths - one in summer and one in winter. That is how you see the change of seasons. [Beginning of Creation 2:231 #495]
Azan, (the call to prayer), puts Satan to flight, passing gas as he runs away. [Beginning of Creation 2:237 #515]
Satan rests at night in your noses. [Beginning of Creation 2:241 #527]
A rooster sees angels, and a donkey sees Satan. [Beginning of Creation 2:243 #533]. Recall that Satan is nothing but our selfish desire.
Rats are the lost tribe of Israel because they do not drink the camel's milk, but drink goat's milk. [Beginning of Creation 2:244 #538]. The camel was prohibited as a source of food for the Israelites.
The above statements need no comment except that only a foolish mind can accept them as coming from the wisest man the planet has ever known.
Five animals are sinful, so kill them even in Makkah: Rat, scorpion, eagle, crow, and a biting dog. [Beginning of Creation 2:245 #543]
The Prophet ordered the killing of dogs. [Beginning of Creation 2:247 #551]. Elsewhere it says the killing of all black dogs was ordered.
Woman was created from the rib so she will always remain crooked. Leave her crooked. If you try to straighten her, you will break her. [Beginning of Creation 2:251 #559]. This is a Biblical statement. Elsewhere, it adds, "and reap advantage". The Quran does not state that woman was created from a rib.
If there were no Israelites, meat would never get rotten. And if there were no Eve, no woman would be unfaithful to her husband. [Reference same #559]
Prophet Job was bathing. Locusts of gold started raining on him. [Vol 2 Kitabul Anbia, Pg 281 #616]
Mamoona said that she gazed at the Prophet taking bath after intercourse, until she saw him wash his private parts. [Book of Bath 1:193 #276]. The Prophet had declared that modesty is a part of faith and that modesty and faith are tied together. However, for centuries our Mullahs have been repeating, "There is no shame in religion." Many a woman has been dishonored on this assumption. A Hadith was made up in the name of Hazrat Ayesha praising Ansari women for asking questions without concern for modesty or shame. To our Imams and Mullahs, most of the questions on religion comprise about sex, nudity, bath, menstruation, concubines, polygamy, divorce, and the like. See another example of shamelessness:
Abu Hurairah reported, "When tips of the genitalia meet, and the man sits between the woman's legs and pushes, a bath becomes obligatory." [Book of Bath, 1:195, #286]. Thanks for the details!
Ayesha said, "The Prophet used to place a pillow in my lap even though I would be menstruating, and then he would recite the Quran." [Book of Bath Pg 197 #292]. Will even an ordinary Muslim, do this?
If the Prophet wanted to have intercourse with a menstruating wife, he ordered her to tie a loincloth even though the menstruation would be at its peak. Then he had intercourse. Whoever has concocted this Hadith adds a contrary statement: Ayesha said, "None of you has as much control over his desire as the Prophet had!" [The Book on Menstruation 1:198, # 295] The caption of this Hadith is 'Mubaashira-til-haayidh'. Mubaashira means nothing but intercourse. But we find Mullahs apologetically defending this Hadith by deceiving that the word also means fondling. Even if we buy this deception, what kind of decency or self-control is that?
Abu Hurairah narrates that the Prophet said, "I was praying. Satan came in front of me and tried to force me to break my prayers. Allah gave me control over him and I threw him down. I thought of tying him with a pillar so that you could see him in the morning. [Chapters of Tahajjud 1:469, #1131 chapter 766]. According to another Hadith, which agrees with the Quran, everyone has his own Satan (temptation) within himself. Describing this, the exalted Prophet is reported to have said, "Even I have my Iblis (Satan) within me but I have made him a Muslim."
Fasting castrates. [Vol 1 Pg 685 Kitabus Saum, #1780] Smile!
Ayesha relates, "The Prophet used to have intercourse with us and deeply kissed us while he was fasting." Then she shied away smiling. [Vol 1:691, Kitabus Saum, Hadith #1798 & 1799]
Khola bint Hakeem presented herself to the Prophet. Ayesha exclaimed, "The woman does not feel ashamed of giving herself to a man!" However, the Prophet started receiving a revelation and Ayesha complained, "O Messenger of Allah! I see that your Lord rushes to fulfill your desires." [Vol 3 Pg 67 Kitabun Nikah # 102]. Here, some criminal is trying to create doubt in the Divine Revelation.
When the Prophet went to the daughter of Jaun (Jaunia) and came close to her, she said, "I seek refuge with Allah against you." The Prophet said, "You have sought refuge with the Great One. So go to your household now." [Vol 3 Kitabut Talaq Pg 115 #237]. Can we think of a greater insult to the exalted Prophet? Was Bukhari a Muslim?
Then (elsewhere, the most beautiful) Jaunia was brought in to a garden. The Prophet told his companions to wait outside and he entered a house made of date trees. Upon entering, he said to Jaunia, "Give yourself to me." She said, "Can a queen give herself to a thief? I seek refuge with Allah against you." [Vol 3 Kitabut Talaq Pg 115 #238].
The Prophet married Umaima bint Sharaheel. But when he went to her and extended his hand to her, she hated it. [Reference same]
Fortunately, the sinister narrators and the 'authoritative' Bukhari did not have the courage to accuse the exalted Prophet of raping these two women.
FATALISM: Allah has appointed an angel on every womb. He informs Allah the Glorious, "My Lord! Semen has been deposited. Now it has become blood. My Lord! Now it has become a piece of meat. When Allah decides to complete the creation as He wills, the angel asks, "Should this be a male or female, wicked or righteous? How much wealth, age etc should it have? Then the angel writes down all things in the mother's womb. Dear reader, no wonder that thinking minds ask why then it was necessary to reveal Divine Guidance! Is not this Hadith, if believed, sufficient to make Islam a fatalistic religion? [Vol 1 The Book of Menstruation Pg 203 #309]
The Messenger of Allah addressed his wife Safia as, "O You bald-headed, perished one!" [Bukhari, Vol 3 Pg 143 Kitabut Talaq #302]. And, "O You barren, bald-headed! Will you stop us from ---?" [Vol 1 Pg 642 #1641 Kitabul Manasik]
Dear reader, many of the passages in this book are disturbing. We have copied them with a heavy heart. This work has been undertaken so that our younger generation does not think of these insults as a part of Islam. It is important that these anomalies be seen as the defamations they are.
[Kitabil Manaqib Vol 2 Pg 445 # 1030]. Umro bin Maimoon reported, "During the Age of Ignorance, I saw a monkey surrounded by a swarm of other monkeys. He had committed adultery with a female monkey. So, all monkeys stoned him to death. I cast stones, too." Ibn Hajar 'Asqalani decides to explain this Hadith further in his 'Sharh Saheeh Bukhari' Vol 7 Pg 121: Umro bin Maimoon said, "I was standing on high grounds in Yemen. A monkey brought a female monkey with him, kept her hand under his head and went to sleep. Then came a younger male and gestured with his eye. The female slowly pulled her hand away from under the head of the (older) monkey and tiptoed away from him. Then she committed adultery with the young monkey, and I saw it with my own eyes. After finishing the act, she returned and gently tried to place her hand under his head. The older monkey got alarmed and thought 'there is something black at the bottom'. He smelled the female and things became crystal clear to him. He started yelling and many monkeys arrived at the scene. He kept yelling pointing his hand to the female. The monkeys ran in different directions and soon arrested the criminal monkey back to the scene of the crime. I recognized him as well. They dug a hole in the ground and stoned both of them to death." Dear reader, our Mullah brings up this Hadith to support stoning which finds no place in the Quran. Did you enjoy animals committing crimes such as adultery and notice the swift monkey style police activity? Amazingly, a Mullah in Maryland tried to defend this Hadith by saying, "Oh, all this happened in the Age of Ignorance!" So, the laws in Nature were different during those times!
Do you ever see an animal born with any deformities? [Bukhari, Book of Funerals, Vol 1 Pg 525 #1295]. Animals are indeed born with deformities. Someone in this narration is trying to attribute his ignorance to the most knowledgeable man of all times.
Abdullah Ibne Umar was reciting the Quran. When he reached verse 2:223, he asked Naafe' whether he knew the application of this verse. Then he went on to explain: "Your women are your fields therefore go to your fields as you please. If you wish, go into her….. [(Bukhari Vol 2 Pg 729 Kitab Tafsir, chapter 597, Hadith 1641). It is astounding that even the original Arabic text leaves a blank space here!
Refuting the grave insult, the correct meaning of the verse is given below:
2:223 Remember that women in the society are the guardians of your future generations, just as a garden keeps the seeds and turns them into flowering plants. ---.
When a woman refuses to come to her husband's bed, angels keep cursing her until the morning. [Bukhari, Book of Nikah Vol 3 Pg 96 #178]
Read Vol 3 Kitab-un-Nikah Pg 111 Hadith #228. No person should reach home to his family at night. Why? According to a forged Hadith, the Prophet (S) used to advise them not to go home before dawn, saying, "Would any of you like to see his wife in bed with another man?" Also, hear from Mullah Rumi: When the companions went with the Prophet for battles, some of their wives had intimate relations with other men. [Mullah Jalaluddin Rumi, Feeh-Ma-Feeh, Saleem Chishti, Islami Tasawwuf Pg 66]
Countless Ahadith dwell upon proving the eternal junbb state of the exalted Prophet. Junbb signifies the unclean state after sexual intercourse. The reader need only refer to the Book of Bath, Kitab-il-Ghusl in Bukhari Volume I. The Prophet was the busiest man on earth bringing about the greatest revolution of human history. How could he have time for this extravaganza?
Vol 1 Pg 161 Kitabil Wudhu, Hadith #185 narrates that once the Prophet (S) asked for a bowl of water. He washed his hands and face in it. Then he rinsed his mouth in it and after that ordered Abu Musa and Bilal to drink from the used water! Respected reader, if you can make your children and non-Muslims drink this brand of Islam, more power to you!
Vol 1 Pg 185, The Book of Bath #246: Abu Salma and the brother of Ayesha went to her to learn about the bath after sexual intercourse. She procured a container of water and took a bath. There was a veil between them and her. Would even an ordinary woman stoop so low? If there was a veil, how could that be a demonstration unless the veil was a see-through partition? Wasn't verbal instruction enough? Only an imbecile mind would accept the authenticity of such "traditions".
Vol 1 Pg 188, Hadith #260 Syedah Mamoona is said to be not only watching the Prophet (S) unclothed but also carrying out a running commentary. Hadith on Pg 192 #273 states that Umm Hani, who was not even one of the household, saw the Prophet bathing.
The Prophet said, "The (People of) Bani Israel used to take bath naked (all together) looking at each other. Prophet Moses used to take bath alone. They said, 'By God! Nothing prevents Moses from taking a bath with us except that he has a scrotal hernia.' So once Moses went out to take a bath and put his clothes over a stone and then that stone ran away with his clothes. Moses followed that stone saying, "My clothes, O stone! My clothes, O stone! Till the people of Bani Israel saw him and said, 'By God, Moses has no defect in his body. Moses took his clothes and began to beat the stone." Abu Huraira added, "By Allah! There are still six or seven marks present on the stone from that severe beating." (Book of Bath Vol 1 Pg 191 # 271, Baab 193)
According to the narrator, in Vol 1 Pg 193 #276, Abu Hurairah suddenly disappears from the scene. Later, when the Prophet asks him the reason, he replies, "I was a junbbi." By now you know what a junbbi is.
Vol 1 Pg 201, Hadith #305 too is a grave insult to aesthetics and common sense. Narrating the method of achieving purity after menstruation, the Prophet is supposedly advising a woman that she should grab a cotton swab scented with musk, then touch the area tainted with blood. And then Ayesha pulled the woman to herself (to demonstrate?)
Vol 1 Pg 145 Kitabul 'Ilm Hadith #120 commits the most dangerous atrocity in Islamic theology: Abu Huraira narrates, "I learned two bags of knowledge from Rasul-ul-Allah (S). One bag I have made public, but if I open the other bag people will cut my throat." Dear reader, Hazrat Abu Huraira could never utter such nonsense. This Hadith was concocted by Abdullah Ibne Saba to open the door for antagonizing the Quran through "hidden meaning" of the text. Doesn't the Quran testify that the exalted Prophet conveyed the Divine message to the full extent? Was Abu Huraira the only companion of the exalted Prophet?
The BOOK OF SALAAT in Bukhari Vol 1:
The Prophet used to pray wearing his shoes. [Vol 1 Pg 228 Hadith #376]. Why can't Muslims follow this 'Sunnah'?
Hadith #339 Vol 1 Pg 215-217 states that in Makkah the roof of the Prophet's house ripped itself apart and in descended the angel Gabriel. "My breast was then opened up and washed with the water of Zam Zam. Then a platter of gold filled with faith and wisdom was poured into my chest, which was then closed. Then the angel held my hand and took me straight to the heavens." Please note here that Me'raaj, or "ascension," is being described here. But in this Hadith, there is no mention of the Prophet (S) supposedly leading 124,000 Prophets in prayers at Jerusalem. What about the 'Centaur' or "Al-Burraq" mentioned repeatedly in other Ahadith! Reminding us of Greek mythology, Burraq is supposed to be a creature with the body of a horse and the face of a beautiful woman. Its one step falls on the limits of human eyesight! However, if faith and wisdom were surgically poured into the chest of the Prophet (S) doesn't he cease to be a model for humanity? Other Ahadith state that the Prophet (S) was sleeping at Umm Hani's house during this event, a frank slander.
In the long Hadith #339 above, we find Prophet Moses advising Muhammad (S) that he return to God again and again to get the number of daily prayers reduced from 50 to 5. We also encounter the joke that God said, "These are five but these are fifty. Our Word never changes." The storyteller seems to be bent upon proving Prophet Moses as a teacher to Muhammad (S). Asra (Night Journey) is often confused with Me'raaj (Ascension). Since God is Omnipresent, the notion of anyone going to meet with Him over the skies does not stand up to reason. Asra signifies night journey and it refers to the beginning of the exalted Messenger's emigration from Makkah to Madinah by night. verses 20:77 and 26:52 use the same term for migration of Prophet Moses along with his followers across the sea. Also consider 17:2. Masjid Al-Aqsa means, the Remote Mosque and refers to the 'Remote Mosque' in Madinah, the place where Muslims used to establish congregational prayers before the Prophet's arrival to the city. Masjid may also be understood here as Madinah being the place of regular congregations. The famous Masjid Al-Aqsa, the so-called Qiblah Awwal, the supposed First Holy Sanctuary, is widely known as Haram Shareef) in Jerusalem. But, in fact, it was built in 72 AH (691 CE) by the Umayyad Ruler, Abdul Malik bin Marwan, about 60 years after the exalted Messenger passed on. The First Sanctuary was nothing but Ka'bah in Makkah 3:96. Jerusalem, until the Muslim conquest under the second Caliph of Islam in 637 CE, had been under the control of Byzantine Christians for centuries, and there was no person worshiping in a Masjid anywhere in the world but Madinah. So, the question of the presence of a Masjid in Jerusalem during the lifetime of the exalted Prophet should not arise. Again, Muslims conquered Jerusalem in 637 CE during the Rule of the second Caliph of Islam, Hazrat Umar. When he visited the place, he continued to pray in open grounds, although Pope Severinus gave him the key to the city and invited him to pray in the Church of Holy Sepulture. But Hazrat Umar feared that Muslims might start converting churches into Masjids, so he politely declined. If a Masjid were present, he would have prayed there. The word Me'raaj (physical Ascension) nowhere occurs in the Quran. Yet, under erroneous traditions, it is a popular, though non-Quranic, belief among many Muslims that the exalted Messenger was taken up physically to the Heights/Skies to meet with God! The Quran sets the records straight by asserting that the First ever blessed Sanctuary was the Ka'bah built by Prophets Abraham and Ishmael in Makkah. And that the Divine laws are unchangeable under all circumstances. Bodily Ascension is a Biblical and not a Quranic theme at all. The true ascension of the exalted Prophet was his matchless character.
Some property (fruit, coins, cloth and other items) came from Bahrain in the presence of the Messenger. He spread it in the Masjid because it was the largest ever bounty. The Messenger's uncle, Hazrat Abbas came and filled his cloths, but he could not lift it. He asked the Prophet three times for someone to help him carry it but the Prophet refused him three times. Abbas lightened his burden by dropping a little of the fruit, hung it on his shoulder and walked away. The Messenger (S) astonishingly kept looking at Abbas for his greed until he disappeared. [Vol 1 Pg 237 #283]. The Criminal Bukhari is maliciously insulting an extremely noble and generous companion and uncle of the Prophet (S). Was he not the first one to forgive usury owed to him at the conquest of Makkah?
People told Ayesha (the mother of believers) that Salaat becomes null and void if a dog, a donkey, or a woman comes in front. Syedah Ayesha said, "You made us dogs." [Vol 1 Pg 263 # 484]
Dear reader, WRONGS FROM THE "RIGHT" BUKHARI was only a glimpse of the huge, voluminous 'Saheeh' Bukhari. Can you believe that even today there are countless people on God's earth according to whom denying a single narrative of Bukhari and Muslim Ahadith instantly renders a Muslim an infidel?
