Re: split-- from- Men read this..
theres a whole bunch of faulty logic here. firstly Abdullah bin Abbas (ra) was wrong in supposing that Muaweyah couldnt have made a mistake in his prayers. Even if he was a sahabi he was fallible, and when sahabis could have killed thousands of people in wars against each other, theres a pretty good chance they could have made other mistakes.
Now, based on one faulty presumption of perfect conduct, how can you deny the multiple ahadith of the same event in multiple books each of which is considered reliable by sunnis, just because one sahabi thought his questionable prayer was right purely on the basis of sahabiyat?
