The instant someone challenges your beliefs all your civility and manners go out the window, well done!
Then shouldn't there be more Hadith from the closet Sahaba of Rasool s.a.w like Abu Bakr r.a who spent the most time with the prophet s.a.w yet there are less than 50 hadith narrated from him and while there are 1000s of hadith narrated from Sahaba like Abu Huraira who spent less than 25 years with The Prophet s.a.w.
If this was such a critical issue shouldn't it be the other way round?
For your information Hazrat Abu Hurierah accepted islam in the biggning of year 7 AH ....According to him he spent 3 years with dedication with Prophet Muhammad sallil laaihi wasallam (saheeh bukhari) which comes to around 1000 days. There are not more than 1500 ahadees of Hazarat Abu Hureirah in Sihaa e Sitta and Masnad e Ahmed that are unique in their text and there are more 1500 ahadees in other books of ahadees.
3000 ahadees means 3 ahadeeth per day...is it too much for a person who dedicated all his 3 years spending time with Rasoolullah sallil laahu alaihi wasallam and than he made obligatory for himself to teach people and let the people know this knowledge?
These 3000 ahadees also include narrations from other sahabas that are called Mursil in hadeeth termanalogy. Also that most of these 3000 ahadees have also been narrated by other shaabas too...it means Hazarat Abu Hureirah is not unique in narrating all of them. Yes there are unique ones too but number of these unique ahadees is very small.
Your second question that why did not other Sahaba like Hazrat Umer and Abu baker etc did not narrate that much ahadees....this is in fact very lame arguments since every one knows that they all have been ruler and did not find time to sit in mosque and have student and classes (majlis) etc.There were many sahabas who dedicated themselves to spread the knowledge they had gathered...like Ibn Masood, Ibn Abbas Hazrat Ayesha etc. and others were busy in Jihad or doing jobs for Khilafah etc.
But which Hadith? Many Shia don't accept Sunni Hadith and many Sunnis don't accept Shia hadith. So there is no agreement of the ummah on this.
Shia not accepting Sunni ahadeeth does not prove any thing nor it makes authenticity of science of hadeeth as invalid. Shia have objection on authenticity of Quran too...they have objection on first 3 caliphs too..they term many Sahaba including wives of prophet sallil laahu alaihi wasallam as infidels. Should we live them all?
Doesn't matter but thats what they are.
No it doesn't. Hadith doesn't and cannot command anything. It is not scripture revealed from God but work of men. What you are referring to is sunnah, which is passed on through generations through Sunna tawatur, i.e continuous practice. Example salah, Quran does not specify how to pray but yet entire Muslim community regardless of sect basically pray the same way and 5 times a day even though they don't believe and accept each others hadith. Because the sunnah is not something new brought by Prophet Muhammad s.a.w but is Sunna Ibrahimi r.a as mentioned in the Quran. "I have decreed fasting on you as I had decreed fasting for the people before you" 2:183 Meaning this was already happening from before.
The problem is some, like you think Sunnah and Hadith are one of the same, when they are not. Hadith how ever does have a record how our Prophet s.a.w would carry out practice the sunnah but there are no extra commands in the hadith which are not in the Quran
And why would Allah s.a.w leave out his commands from his revealed book of which there is no doubt and leave it in the hands of man 100s of years after the passing of his last prophet.
Just doesn't make sense.
Your common sense has completely been distorted and full of ideas never existed or followed by early generation of Islam and to be very frank early generation of isalm has got authority over all opinions as well as news ideas. Ghamdi is nothing in front of the giants of this Ummah.
Secondly there has been no difference through out islam between hadeeth and sunnah, these two terminologies have been used for each other since the early days....this is a newly cooked flawed idea of Jawed Ahmed Ghamdi that say that Hadeeth is different and Sunnah is different.
I can refute this idea by quoting many example as well as by asking few questions and you will be just clueless....
Anyways...you are saying that Sunnah is what followed by all and can be proved through tawatur, and you gave examples of Namaz and Fasting....isnt it ridiculous?. Dont you know that Shia pray 5 namaz but in three times unlike sunnis who pray 5 namaaz in 5 different times. Azaan of shia and sunni is different...The way shia pay zakat is different, they have their own rules, even understanding of Quran between Hadeeth rejectors is different too...there are hadeeth rejectors who beleive in no namaz or hujj like we all do...they have their own understanding, there are hadeeth rejectors who pray 3 times a day, as according to them quran does not mention number of namaz.
So by just saying that every sunnah is proved through tawatar is factually incorrect and impossible and not practical. Definition of twatur, sunnah and hadeeth would all be drived from the understanding and definition of early scholars of islam as they are the one who coined these terminologies for us to make things easy to understand. Ghamdi is just trying to to forge and cheat by taking their terminologies and giving them news meaning. This is kind of highest level of intellectual dishonesty he has done.
And you know why has he done so?? just to get rid of acting upon hadeeth...As hadeeth is the only thing which defines us the real islam and the way of Prophet sallil laahu alaihi wasallam we all need to follow. Ghamdi wants his followers to be free from being practicing muslims..he wants them to be a just free muslim.
And if we believe you, we are to believe Muslims did not now how to pray, fast, do hajj properly before the hadith were complied some 200 years after the Prophet s.a.w passed away?
Again doesn't make sense.
How is it possible that out of 10 commands the Prophet s.a.w told 9 to people publicly and then told 1 to just one person or to a few? How can Khabr-e-wahid be a command ?
Nice language btw
They were written/remembered and acted upon at the time of Prophet sallil laahu alaihi wasallam...please stop spreading this lie that hadeeth was compiled after 200 years...this is a sheer lie. Mota Imam Malik is one of the oldest books of hadeeth available in its original form and was compiled around 150 AH...Imam Malik was born in 93 AH...and in his early years of life he started sitting in Majalis of hadeeth..it means by year 110 he had started listening learning and acquiring knowledge of hadeeth. Where did you get this notion of after 200 years??...even there were masahif's of other sahaba which were later on corroborated in other books of ahadees ....to learn more read this excellent piece:
The only scripture revealed by Allah s.w.t and Allah s.w.t himself has promised will remain free from corruption till the end of time is the Quran. He has made no such promises or claims about anything written by man and he has said follow the Quran and Sunnah, not hadith. Once again I repeat the problem is some, like you think Sunnah and Hadith are one of the same, when they are not.
This is the same problem the Christians fell into, they mixed the hadith of Prophet Isa into the holy scripture. What are the books of Mark, Matthew, Luke and John in the Bibile if not Hadith of Prophet Isa?
If Allah s.w.t had not protected the Quran people like you would have done the same and added the Hadith and made it a part of the Quran too.
So think logically with your head and not emotionally with your heart.
By the way transmission of Quran has been done and favored by the same group of people who has transmitted hadeeth....this is your half cooked knowledge which makes you understand that Quran is some thing revealed and sent down on earth in written form in a book shape....how ridiculous your arguments are.
Allah himself has made the life actions and understanding of Prophet Muhammad sallil laahu alaihi wasllam as part of deen...and Allah has promised us to save the whole deen (Quran and its understanding) without understanding of Quran, Quran itself is nothing.
Listen the early comments of Jawed Ahmed Ghamdi and you will be shocked how cunningly he has changed his view.
وما علینا الا البلاغ
