hadiths of Salat?
-
There is no single hadith which details salat. Strange how the 'pillar of islam' was never taught on the massive level so that there is only one version. Prophet said 'pray as u see me pray' yet the Malikis drop their hands and the rest don't (during qiyam). Obviously the people who 'observed' the Prophet praying needed glasses!
or the ahadith came from abu hurairah, who cant seem to quite remember anything right ;D

noo abu huraira was long dead when Bukhari came along.
Bukhari collected these 'writings' from people living 300 years later. Apparently they were all written while the prophet was still alive and kept secret, they must have been kept secret because the prophet told them not to write anything but Quran, so they had to be kept secret and came out 300 years later. Of course they were all absolutely true and without error (apart from the slight differences in how many women Solomon was sleeping with at a time) as they had a verified chain of narration and each narrator was verified for his truth and honesty and clarity of mind.

Don't be silly, according to a hadeeth narrated by Abu Hurairah, Abu Hurairah went to the Holy Prophet? and asked him for a cure for his short term memory loss (all that ganja, tsk tsk). The Holy Prophet? then uttered a magic spell on him then slapped him with a towel and since then, Abu Hurairah's memory has been impeccable.

that proves even further that his memory was alright after that cure, elhamdulillah!!

He had trouble with numbers, 60, 70, 90, 99, 101, his 'stories' (HADITH) changed each time he told them. Really he was nothing more than a story teller and from some i've read the prophet was a tad fed up with him too. ;D

Volume 1, Book 3, Number 119
Narrated Abu Huraira
I said to Allah's Apostle "I hear many narrations (Hadiths) from you but I forget them." Allah's Apostle said, "Spread your Rida' (garment)." I did accordingly and then he moved his hands as if filling them with something (and emptied them in my Rida' and then said, "Take and wrap this sheet over your body." I did it and after that I never forgot any thing.
Come on, Abu Huraira himself, with his blessed memory is telling you that he went to the prophet who then gave him an impeccable memory!

The prophet SAW cured him for a reason, and that reason is obvious now!

Dear Shumali
You seem to be getting your wires crossed. Bukhari did not teach the majority of Muslims how to pray. The Prophet PBUH taught the Muslims how to pray in line with the Quran (stand, bow, prostrate). This chain of teaching has been handed down generation after generation after generation. The Prophet PBUH, the Sahaaba, the Tabi'een, Imaam Abu Hanifa, Imaam Shafii, Imaam Malik, Imaam Ahmad, Imaam Jafer Al Sadiq, Imaam Hasan, Imaam Hussein and so forth, all came before Bukhari and were well versed in Arabic and Quran than either you or me and had no problems with the Quran and Teachings of the Prophet PBUH! So where the hell are you getting your claims of Bukari-ism from? How did all the above pray before Bukhari came along and how do you prove it?
Most, if not all the PM's believe that the Prophet PBUH only delivered the message and then walked away. You guys believe that he did not teach anything therefore there is nothing to follow from his example as it is all in the Quran. Or am I wrong in my analogy?
You will no doubt quote
320 Thus, if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message for God sees all that is in His creatures.
And I will in turn quote
567 O APOSTLE! Announce all that has been bestowed from on high upon thee by thy Sustainer for unless thou doest it fully, thou wilt not have delivered His message . And God will protect thee from men behold, God does not guide people who refuse to acknowledge the truth.
465 But nay, by thy Sustainer! They do not believe unless they make thee a judge of all on which they disagree among themselves, and then find in their hearts no bar to an acceptance of thy decision and give themselves up in utter self-surrender.
4105 BEHOLD, We have bestowed upon thee from on high this divine writ, setting forth the truth, so that thou may judge between people in accordance with what God has taught thee. Hence, do not contend with those who are false to their trust,
542 those who eagerly listen to any falsehood, greedily swallowing all that is evil! Hence, if they come to thee , thou mayest either judge between them or leave them alone for, if thou leave them alone, they cannot harm thee in any way. But if thou dost judge, judge between them with equity verily, God knows those who act equitably.
548 And unto thee have We vouchsafed this divine writ, setting forth the truth, confirming the truth of whatever there still remains of earlier revelations and determining what is true therein. judge, then, between the followers of earlier revelation in accordance with what God has bestowed from on high, and do not follow their errant views, forsaking the truth that has come unto thee. Unto every one of you have We appointed a law and way of life. And if God had so willed, He could surely have made you all one single community but in order to test you by means of what He has vouchsafed unto, you. Vie, then, with one another in doing good works! Unto God you all must return; and then He will make you truly understand all that on which you were wont to differ.
On one hand Allah SWT is saying that the Prophet PBUH's job is to only deliver the Quran and on the other hand Allah SWT is saying to the Prophet PBUH to judge between the people! Which one of the 2 stances would you take. Was it a delivery only, or was it delivery and judgement? Is this clear and easy to understand in your eyes?
Anyway, just to please your request, you can read The Book of The Characteristics of Prayer in Bukhari in order to verify if it contradicts the Quran or not.
Here, one more point needs clarification with regards to the authenticity of hadith. You and your buddies seem to believe that a Hadith is only authentic if it is related in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim which you obviously disregard in totallity even if it was authentic. No problem.
This is a misconception. The authenticity of the Hadith is based on its chain of narrators, irrespective of whether it appears in any one of the Sihah Sitta (the famous six authentic compilations of Hadith) or in any other compilation besides these. Please bear this in mind.
Moving onto your approach, I posted the following in another post and will be grateful if you can take a stab at it and confirm your position
Dear Ayisha
Ok. Let's put the Hadith to the side (again) and clarify your position.
Please be kind enough to tell us what Islam and the perfected religion means to you
53 ...................This day have I perfected your religion for you and completed My favor unto you, and have chosen for you as religion AL- Islam. Whoso is forced by hunger, not by will, to sin (for him) lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. -
Do you accept the concept of Salaah?
Do you accept the concept of Pilgrimage?
Do you accept the concept of Zakat?
And if so, please be kind enough to confirm how do you or would you perform any of these duties (with references please).
If the Qur'an is the only authentic source of Guidance, why did it never explain how to offer salah, although it repeatedly talks about its importance, associating it with eternal success and failure? What would we think of a communication that repeatedly emphasizes a certain act but never explains how to perform it? There are only two possibilities. Either it is a terrible omission (and in that case it cannot be from God) or another source for the how-to information is provided and it is a terrible mistake for any recipient to ignore that.
5156 I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me.
Furthermore, do you believe or accept that the Prophet PBUH performed Salaat and how did he do it if your answer is in the affirmative? Did he Stand, Bow and Prostrate and on what basis do you get your answer? Or do you believe the meaning of Salaat to be metaphorical and not a physical action?
How many wives did the Prophet PBUH have and did he have any children? (ok, this may not be relevant for you, so you may not answer if you so wish).
Do you believe or accept in the Prophet PBUH's status as an example, a teacher and explainer of the Quran?
What is the call for prayer and where do we find it?
The Quran as it is, is not compiled in the same order as it was revealed. Why is this so? Also how do you know, which ayats were revealed when and for what reason? And are there any ayats in the Quran that are specific for certain events or people that occured before our time? i.e. Badr. What was all this about and what happened?
Additionally, in one of your previous posts you stated that you pray as you were traditionally taught but without the Tashahud or something along these lines. Why would you accept the prayer aspect from the source of Hadiths even though you claim to be a firm Hadith Rejector? Please tell me and show me where you learned the concept of prayer? To accept one and reject the other source on the basis of reliability defies reason. You are therefore forced to either seek direction from the Hadith indirectly or to contradict the claim that the Quran is 'self sufficient and self explanatory' by adding additional clauses or to change the meanings of the worships altogether.
To say that Allah promised to protect only Qur'an but not Islam is being as ridiculous as one can get. Let's ignore the obvious question regarding the point of this Heavenly act. The question is if Islam has been corrupted for over 1200 years because of Hadith following and its true teachings have been lost, how can anyone claim to be its follower? Moreover, Qur'an says "If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost" 385. How are we to follow the religion acceptable to Allah (Islam) if it was not to be protected and has been corrupted from the offset thus nullifying the claim?
If we follow the religion of our forefather Abraham, then how can Abrahams way be preserved considering he came for a limited period, for his nation only? Whereas the Prophet PBUH was sent for all mankind at a later date and until the Last Day not be preserved. According to you, the Prophet PBUH'S way has been corrupted but Abrahams way has been preserved? How do you prove or trace anything about Abraham and his way without any historical records or chain of narration at best?
Did not Allah SWT decide to protect the Quran because previous scriptures and calls to God were corrupted by man which would also apply to the period of Abraham?
Finally, the million dollar question that you and your buddies need to answer is why did no one for over 1300 years question the teachings of the Prophet PBUH? No body, in his right mind, could or did question this practice.
It was not that some genius had found flaws in the hadith study that had eluded the entire ummah for thirteen centuries now was it? or maybe it was and the following 'knights in shining armour' arose to lead you out of the darkness and into the light - Egypt (Taha Hussein), India (Abdullah Chakralawi and Ghulam Ahmed Pervaiz), and Turkey (Zia Gogelup).
Peace
