what is the definition of Ahl ul Bayt

[righteous]

@Ibn_Sadique

brother righteous – I hope that you had a great Eid.

It seems that either you are ignorant of hadith compilation or are deliberately trying to hoodwink the people concerning hadith. I think it is the former.

Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim are the most authentic hadith books– Even knowledgeable Shia scholars very grudgingly accept this fact.

Only Quran is infallible.

Collecting authentic hadith was a momentous effort – Yes Bukhari and Muslim do have some weak hadith – but these are extremely very, very small in number – in fact the weak ones can be counted on one hand.

Eminent Sunnis scholars have done enough critical scrutiny of all the hadith form day one (without needing any help from Shias).

Compare this to state of the Shia hadith.

The most famous of Shia hadith book is Al Kafi.

According to reports on completion of this momentous this book, the compiler, Mohammed Ibne Yakoob Kulayni, presented it (Al Kafi) to the 12th infallible Imam – He having gone through the whole book stated as follows:

“hadha kafin li-shi’atina” (This is sufficient for our Shi’ah)

Guess what? Some centuries later eminent Shia scholars having critically gone through al Kafi declared the 76% of the hadith therein is not Sahih!!!

You see the big contradiction between the infallible Iman and the fallible scholars!!!

Sunnis reject any hadith which contradicts the Quran.

Hz. Ibn Abbas (ra) and Hz. Aisha (ra) are few among from the Ahlel Bayt (raa) who have contributed a lot to narrations of hadith.

Khair Mubarak Brother. I am definitely not trying to hoodwink anyone.

I have limited knowledge of Hadith, I will agree to that.

Shia Ahadith - If you read the introduction to AL-Kafi, it says accept what is in light of Quran and reject what is contradictory. This leads us to the following point.

Secondly, God wants us to use our brains.

             *008.022** *

YUSUFALI: For the worst of beasts in the sight of Allah are the deaf and the dumb,- those who understand not.
PICKTHAL: Lo! the worst of beasts in Allah’s sight are the deaf, the dumb, who have no sense.
SHAKIR: Surely the vilest of animals, in Allah’s sight, are the deaf, the dumb, who do not understand.

YUSUFALI: They will further say: “Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we should not (now) be among the Companions of the Blazing Fire!”
PICKTHAL: And they say: Had we been wont to listen or have sense, we had not been among the dwellers in the flames.
SHAKIR: And they shall say: Had we but listened or pondered, we should not have been among the inmates of the burning fire.
Third, Sunnis are not sure if the hadith was to be recorded or not. If it was prohibited to record it or not.

If it wasn’t prohibited to be recorded then why did Abu Bakr prohibit people from transmitting it.

“You are transmitting conflicting hadiths that clash with the sayings of the Prophet. The persons to come after you will be in a worse predicament. Transmit no hadiths from God’s messenger. Speak to those who would like you to transmit hadiths in the following way: “Behold! God’s book is with us, abide by what has been made lawful for you therein and avoid what has been prohibited.”
Bukhari

There was a remarkable increase in the number of hadiths during the caliphate of Omar. Omar desired that all the pages on which were written the hadiths that were in the hands of the public be brought to him. Then he ordered that they be destroyed, saying: “These are like the Mishnah of the Jewish people.”
Ibn Sad- Tabakat

This is in line with what Umar told the Prophet in the incident of Paper and Pen. I dont think I need to quote it again.

So the collection and recording of hadith is the negation of the orders of the two most revered figures of Sunnis.

It is all a bit self contradicting you know.
