Re: Authenticity of Hadith
Sahabis fought a..........
the holy prophet(sm) was affected by magic.tafseer tells us that it served 2 purposes
1=to ensure that the prophet (sm) was not worshipped ie he was a human being.Perfection sirf Allah ki zaat main hay.
2=to emphasize the existence of magic n its prevention by means of ALLAH and his word.
the companions were also human,but they bathed in the light of the prophet,observed him,listened to him,so respect is a must which shud b observed even while discussing them.these topics attract people like pcg who refer to the companions as 'x' , 'y' , 'z' .and exhibit balatant disregard for what they believe to be mindless,puposeless traditions/practices.
comming back to the original topic,the companions were human beings after all n therefore not perfect.God has created each one of us in a unique way. No two human beings can think or act in exactly the same way.the existence of individuality is a fact.there r a 100 other ahadith on whom all ullema agree to be authentic,why dont u just follow those?
my observation may be wrong but i dunno why people like to talk about ahadith and its authenticity wen they havent even held sahih bukhari in their hands let alone reading it or following even one hadith to perfection.it takes a whole life just to perfect a few virtues,for example gheebat,chughli na karna,praying on time everyday 5 times a day but still people have this thirst to 'know' more n more but practice nothing,zilch,nada.this wasnt directed at u phatima but ur post did initiate this trian of thought.
