WHY THE HADITHS CANNOT BE VALID...
-
Salaamun to All
While debating whether or not Muhammad, was sent to a people who, prior, had no messenger sent to them, I came across the following ayats, which, in my opinion, totally invalidate the use of the so-called hadiths Muhammad, as a source of spiritual guidance, growth, and development ( of course they are invalid because they are not error/mistake/contradiction-free and, for the rational minded, that should be sufficient enough to discard them wholesale)
- Thou wast not on the Western side when We decreed the Commission to Moses, nor wast thou a witness (of those events).
2845...but thou wast not a dweller among the people of Madyan, rehearsing Our Signs to them....
-
Nor wast thou at the side of (the Mountain of) T?r when We called (to Moses).
-
Were ye witnesses when death appeared before Jacob? Behold, he said to his sons "What will ye worship after me?" They said "We shall worship Thy God and the God of thy fathers, of Abraham, Ismail and Isaac,- the One (True) God. To Him do we submit (in Isl?m)."
You will notice that Allah, makes it clear that Muhammad, was not physically present at any of the events or places mentioned and, what knowledge he had of them, was from Allah directly. We (Bukhari, Muslim, Ahmed, Tirmidhi, Sunnan, Dawud et al), likewise, were not physically present at any of the events or places concerning Muhammad and, we have NO DIRECT KNOWLEDGE of what actually transpired during his time other than what is record between the "two binders"/Al-Qur-an.
Btw, I know this is a Qur-an Only site, I'm simply presenting this to further develop the arguement against the use of the so-called ahdiths of Muhammad.
