EXPLANATIONS OF QURAN THROUGH AHADITH (Acutal Status of Hadith) BY GHULAM AHMED PARWEZ

EXPLANATIONS OF QURAN THROUGH AHADITH

The utmost need for Ahadith, we are given to understand, is because without them, we cannot grasp the correct interpretation of Quran. The argument given in favour of this statement is so powerful that every person is convinced. The argument is, can anyone’s explanation of any ayaat of Quran, be more correct than the explanation given by the Messenger Muhammad…. No doubt! We agree that no one’s explanation of Quran can go beyond that of the Messenger. The question we must ask ourselves: (the explanation of Quran that is present in our ahadith) is it the actual and true rendering of Messenger’s word? I am confident you will not be able to answer this question nor will you accept that it is not the explanation given by Muhammad^PBUH, until and unless you do not read it with your own eyes, as to what is real hadith. For just this purpose we will copy from the most respected ahadith books, a few examples of the explanation of ayaat from Quran. After reading, you all can decide for yourself, whether we should attribute it to the Messenger Muhammad or not?

In the chapter of Ah’zaab in Quran, it is stated: 

(33:9)“O Believers! Do not become like those who became callous with Moses.”

MOSES AND ISRAELITES:

The different ways, in which the Israelites mistreated Moses^PBUH, has been explained in the Quran in detail. If nothing else, the devotion and perpetual struggle of Moses^PBUH, ought to have been enough reason for Israelites to be grateful to him all their lives. On the contrary, we observe, they blatantly told Moses^PBUH. 

(7:129)

“We were in miserable condition before you came and we are miserable after your arrival.”

Torah maintains a detailed account. When the Israelites saw the Egyptians following them, it states them telling Moses^PBUH.

            “Was there not enough place to bury us in Egypt, that you have brought us in this deserted place? What are you doing with us? Did we not mention, while in Egypt, to let go off us, So that we may serve the Egyptians? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than die in wilderness.” (Exodus 14:10-12)

            In the plains of Sinai, The Israelites got healthy victuals, still they complained to Moses^PBUH:

(2:61)

“Do we have to eat the same food every day!”

Torrah has it:

            “The whole coterie of Israelites in this wilderness fretted and fumed on Moses^PBUH and Aaron^PBUH. They said, ‘we wish to God, we died in Egypt, when we were having our fill, out of pots of meat!” (Exodus 16:3-11)

When they were faced with a little shortage of water, they began to scream: “Why did you bring us out of Egypt, so that our children and animals may die of thirst.” (Exodus, 7:1-3)

While passing through a valley, these Israelites saw some people prostrating in front of a statue. They went berserk and demanded from Moses^PBUH and made importunate pleas, to erect for them a similar statue. As is narrated in Quran: 

(7:128)

Moses^PBUH had to climb mount Sinai and did not return for quite some time. Meanwhile, the Israelites made a model of a calf and began to worship it. (20:86).

Upon entering a village, they were asked to adopt certain measures; whereas we read, that on purpose they acted on the contrary. (2:58-59).

When Moses^PBUH asked them to have faith in one God, they replied:

 (2:55)

“We will not listen to what you say, until we do not see God, with our own eyes!”

When they were asked to slaughter a cow, they made plenty of excuses, the details of which are in chapter Baq’ra of Quran. (Refer to 2:67). Moses^PBUH told them, the sacred land has been destined for them, they only have to rise and take it. The Israelites replied, that until its inhabitants do not leave, they were not prepared to walk a single step in that direction. 

(5:24)

“You and your God can go and fight with those people. While we will wait here till then.”

This was the attitude of Israelites towards Moses^PBUH, because of which he was impelled to tell them:

 (61:5)

“O my people! Why are you so cruel to me? You know very well. I am your Messenger sent from Allah.”

Moses^PBUH was so exhausted by all this, he requested God almighty:

            “My God! I have no control over anything besides my brother and my own self. So you must decide between us and these arrogant people.”

Because of these happenings among Israelites, the Quran warns the Momineen, as not to follow in their footsteps: 

            “Do not behave like Israelites. The Messenger looses nothing by your merciless acts, on the contrary, that community becomes worthless which disregards the Messenger and annoys him.”

Please take into consideration the explanations of Quran and see for yourself, how the meanings of the above mentioned ayaat unfold. In comparison, let us observe how our ahadith explain the same ayaat. It has in Bokhari:

1.      “Abu Huraira^R, while quoting the Messenger Muhammad^PBUH narrates, the Messenger said, “Israelites had the custom of bathing naked in front of each other, while Moses^PBUH took his baths in isolation. The Israelites gossiped among themselves, the reason Moses^PBUH bathes in isolation is because he suffers from the disease of fituk. One day it so happened, Moses^PBUH went to take a bath and put his garments on a nearby stone. The stone took away with his clothes and Moses^PBUH ran after the stone saying
(                                          ) ‘O Stone! Give me my garments, O Stone! Give me my garments.’ In the meantime, Israelites were able to take a good look at Moses^PBUH and said that he did not suffer from any disease. The stone stopped moving and Moses^PBUH after taking his garments, began to beat the stone.” Abu Huraira^R says—The stone, by God, still has six or seven marks from the beating of Moses^PBUH. (Bokhari, Vol. I, page 76).  (Sahih Bukhari: Kitab'ul Gusal (Bathing)

Please peruse the above commentary carefully, think for a moment, if this can possibly be the explanation given by the Messenger, of the ayaat from Quran?

2.      It has it in Trimidhi, Hazrat Ibne Abbas^R while quoting Muhammad^PBUH writes, “Archangel Gabriel told me, the pharaoh, when dying desired to believe in the God of Moses^PBUH. And that, “I should have seen him, how he shoved mud of the ocean in pharaoh’s mouth, so that he may not announce his belief.”

First of all, let us see, if it is the duty of Gabriel to stuff mud into anybody’s mouth when the person desires to believe in God? Or someone who only wants to be blessed? We ought to know, it is written in Quran about angels: 

(16:50)

“The angels can do nothing on their own. They only obey the orders or commands of Allah.”

It can be inferred, the act of angel Gabriel (stuffing of ocean’s mud in the mouth of pharaoh) was ordained by God. We also know from Quran the pharaoh had embraced the faith of Moses^PBUH. 

(10:90)

            Saideth pharaoh, “I believe there is no allah, except the Allah of Israelites and I am a Muslim.”

PHARAOH EMBRACES THE FAITH OF ALLAH:

According to the above-mentioned parable, God did not want that pharaoh should believe in him. In order to fulfill his desire. God appointed Gabriel to stuff the mouth of pharaoh with mud. As we read, inspite of it, pharaoh succeeded in declaring his faith in Allah. In other words (God forgive us), Allah’s plan was defeated and became a horse of another color.

Can you, even for a moment imagine, if the above explanation could belong to the Messenger?

3.      Quran defines Allah as: 

(57:3)

“God is beyond the limitations of time.”

These words are so clear and explicit, one does not have any problem in understanding them—

“He is the first and he is the last!” whereas we find in the collection of Trimidhi, A lengthy explanation of this ayaat by Abu Huraira^R, the concise summary of which is:

“The Holy Messenger said that the distance between earth and sky is five hundred years of journey. And the distance between two skies is also the same. Now there are seven skies in all, the distance between the seventh sky and heaven is also five hundred years of journey. In the same way there is an earth beneath this earth, which is also five hundred years of journey. And there are seven earths. The distance between every two is also the same... After that the Messenger said,                  ‘He is the first and he is the last!’

We ask you to first read the Arabic ayaat and then peruse its commentary. Can it, by any means be claimed as the words of Messenger Muhammad^PBUH?

In the same collection of Trimidhi, we read from Abu Huraira^R,

            “The Messenger said, ‘the distance between one sky and the other is 71 or 72 or 73 years of journey. And there are seven skies in all. The distance between any two skies is also the same number of years. On top of the seventh sky is an ocean. That is also the same number of years deep. On the ocean are seven ibexes. The distance from their hoofs to their knees is also the same number of years. On the backs of these ibexes is heaven, that is also the same amount of years in height.”

In the first gospel of Abu Huraira^R, we read in Trimidhi, the path from one sky to the other is five hundred years. In the same Trimidhi it is stated, the Messenger saying, the distance between two skies is 71 or 72 or 73 years. The glaring contradiction is very clearly obvious! 

The later story, that there are seven skies, on top of the seventh sky is an ocean; on the ocean are seven ibexes. And on the backs of these ibexes is the heaven. This is an explanation of the following ayaat from Quran, wherein is stated: 

(11:7)

In fact these words are very profound. The Quran says: 

(21:30)

“We have created every living creature from water.”

Meaning, life initiated from water and is dependent on water also. Life cannot sustain itself without water. The intrinsic resource of life is water. The later ayaat therefore means, that God has absolute control over water. In other words, God has complete authority and control on the primary source of life.

This was the truth that has been explained in Quran. And we also read, narrated in Trimidhi, its explanation attributed to Muhammad^PBUH.

Now you can decide for your self, can it be claimed, in any way, as the explanation given by the Messenger? 

4.      In context with ‘the story of Adam,’ it is narrated in the chapter of Baq’ra in Quran: 

(2:31)

“And Man was taught the knowledge of all names.”

It is very obvious. The Arabic word ‘Adam’ symbolizes ‘mankind’ or ‘humankind.’ Humankind has been granted the capacity to grasp the knowledge of universe. Human being has also been given the freedom of choice, which is impossible to exercise without knowledge. Freedom to choose and knowledge go hand in hand.

EXPLANATION OF BOKHARI:

Now let us read what Bokhari’s collection of ahadith has to say about this. It is written:

            “Hazrat Uns^R quotes the Messenger, who said, ‘On the day of judgement all Muslims will gather together and consult, as to whom they must appoint on this day, as their leader. They all will approach prophet Adam and say, he is their father. All angels were ordered to prostrate before him, he was taught the knowledge of all names. They all will then beseech him to ask God for his mercy, so they can be saved from the torture of hell. He shall show his helplessness and bemoan his first sin (when he ate the forbidden fruit); he will shy away from Allah and direct these people to Messenger Noah^PBUH. As he was the first Messenger who came from Allah, on this earth, all men will then approach him. The Messenger will show his helplessness and remembering his first sin, shall guide these people to Messenger Abraham^PBUH. They all will then approach Abraham^PBUH, he shall say the same and guide these people to Messenger Moses^PBUH. As Allah had personally talked with Moses^PBUH and had given him his commandments. Moses^PBUH will also be helpless on this day and will shy away after recalling his sin. He will then direct these people to Jesus^PBUH, as he is the word, the spirit and the Messenger of Allah. But he will also say the same and direct these people towards Muhammad^PBUH, whose every sin has been forgiven. I shall then take all of them to Allah^SWT to beseech his forgiveness and mercy. I shall request permission from Allah^SWT to enter in his presence, which I shall be granted. Upon seeing Allah^SWT I will go into prostration and say whatever Allah^SWT puts into my head. At that time, a command (from Allah^SWT) will come—O Muhammad! Lift your head and plead your case, so that your wish be granted.’ I will then lift my head and obey his command and beseech his mercy. At that moment one group will be pardoned (migrants, martyrs, pious and saintly personalities). I shall again approach Allah^SWT and go into prostration and beseech his mercy. Again this time another group will be pardoned. Then the third and forth time I shall ask for mercy, until none shall remain, except those who have been forbidden by Quran and granted inferno forever.”  (Sahih Bukhari: Kitabul Tafsir)

In this conte that has been attributed towards Muhammad^PBUH, there is not a single word mentioned about the knowledge of Adam. Secondly, we must notice that all prophets are repentant for their sins and do not have the courage to face God. Can this be the attitude of the Messengers of Allah^SWT?

YOUR WIVES ARE LIKE YOUR FIELDS:

5.      It is narrated in chapter Baq’ra in Quran: 

(2:223)

“Your wives are similar to your fields. You can go to them as you go to your fields.”

Again it is very obvious, the purpose of going to your wives is, when you want to sow your seed or want off springs. For this, just as a farmer sows seeds in the proper seasons, so you must also conjoin with your wives at proper time periods. The explanation of this ayaat in Imam Bokhari’s Kitab ul Tafseer, is as follows:

Explanation:

Nafi reports that while reading Quran, Abdullah Ibne Omar^R never spoke with anybody. One day I approached him when he was reading Quran. When he reached the words                     in chapter Baq’ra in Quran, he asked me if I knew as to when this ayaat was revealed. I replied in the negative. He then explained the glory of its revelation and resumed his recitation of Quran again. Abdul Samad has said that we receive a tradition from Ibne Omar^R that says this ayaat was revealed, because some men were copulating with women. Jabar^R narrates the Jews, who said; whosoever copulates with his wife from backside shall have cross-eyed progeny. It is in those days this ayaat was revealed, proving the Jews of being wrong. Meaning, women can be engaged in any way one wants, in matters of copulation.” (Sahih Bukhari: Kitab'ul Tafsir)

This was taken from the collection of Imam Bokhari. Let us read, what Allama Badr ud Din Ainee and Hafiz Ibne Hijr Asqalani have to say on this topic.

Explanation of This Hadith:

Allama Ainee has first copied the hadith from Bokhari in the following manner: 

[1]

God’s order on the subject                                                           was explained to us by Isaae, who was told by Nadr Bin Shameel, who in turn was told by Aun to tell Nafay that, ‘until Omar^R did not finish reading Quran he never spoke with anybody. One day I sat with him with a Quran, when he was reading chapter Baq’ra. He then asked me, if I knew at what period in time, this ayaat was revealed? When I replied in the negative, he then explained its context to me. The narrator then moves on and quotes Abdul Samad, that he was told by his father, who was told by Ayub (Sukhtiani), who was told by Nafay, who was told by Ibn Omar^R that the explanation of                                           is that you can copulate in…. with your wife. This has also been explained by Muhammad Bin Yahya Ibn Saeed, from his father, who got it from Obaidullah, who got it from Nafay, who got it from Ibn Omar^R.

After all this Allama Ainee further writes:

In the original book of Bokhari, there is a blank space. Then he goes on to indicate that it means the private part of your wife, but this is not correct.

This tradition is explained by Ibn Jareer, who is told by Abu Qulaba?, who has copied from Abdul Samad Bin Abdul Warris, who was told by his father, who uses the word                          (To copulate with your wife in Anus) in his explanation. (Umdah Tul Qari).

COPULATION IN ANUS:

This was the elucidation given by Allama Ainee. Now let us read what Hafiz Ibn Hajr Asqalani, has to say about this tradition:

“Ibnul Arabi has copied in Siraj ul Mureed, that Bokhari has copied this hadith in Tafseer and said                     after these words. A blank space has been left. This problem is very famous. Muhammad Bin Shaban has authored a complete book on this topic. And Muhammad Bin Shahnoon? Has proved it in his article, the hadith of Ibn Omar^R is about copulating with woman in the Anus.

Mazri says, that priests are divided on this issue. Those who believe this tradition as being Halal. Have taken the above-mentioned ayaat for their support. Those who are against it say the concerned ayaat was revealed to defeat the statement of Jews. As has been quoted by Jabar.”

FAITH UL BARI:

As can be noticed, Hafiz Ibn Hajr proves the contradiction about sex with woman from the anul side. Some narrators believe in this tradition while others do not.

Now let us read what Allama Ainee further says on this topic. He writes:

NOTION OF IMAM MALIK:

“Ibnul Arabi has written in his book entitled, ‘Ahkaam ul Quran’ that majority agrees with this tradition. All statements on this subject have been collected by Ibn e Shaban in his book called, ‘Jamma ul Niswan’, in which he has attributed its justifications towards majority of disciples of the Messenger and Tabaeen. He has found justifications from many traditions that are attributed to Imam Malik^R. But Malik’s followers deny this tradition, because of its evil and perverted habit. Imam Malik is also adamant that this tradition cannot be proved wrong, just because people do not believe in it.

Muhammad Bin Sa’ad who got it from Abu Sulaiman, who copied from Zajafi?, that he was present in the company of Imam Malik Bin Uns^R. When he was questioned about sex with woman by Anus, he thumped his hand on his head, saying that he had just finished his bath, after getting over with it. In the same book Ibnul Qasim has copied that Imam Malik was unable to find any human, whom he could claim as his mentor, concerning this tradition. After that he quotes this ayaat read by Imam Malik^R:

Malik^R said, “What more can be said on this, as it is already very obvious.” He did not doubt in the least. As far as Imam Sha’afi’s religion was concerned, we heard Imam Tahawi^R saying, that he got it from Muhammad Ibnul Hukaam, who heard it from Imam Sha’afi saying that there is no hadith from Messenger that goes for or against this notion. It is therefore speculated, that it is allowed (Umda'tul Qari fi Sharah' Bukhari, Ainee: Hadith # 1634: bab # 601).

In other words, Imam Malik^R was convinced of its being true and he himself practiced it also and Imam Sha’afi was speculating in favour of it. Haifz Ibn Hajr has also copied a polemical dialogue of Imam Sha’afi on this topic, with Imam Azam’s student named Imam Muhammad^R.

He writes:

Imam Hakim has written about Imam Sha’afi^R, in the manner of Ibn Hakum, of his famous polemical dialogues with Imam Muhammad Ibnul Hassan^R on this topic. Ibnul Hassan^R reasoned against Imam Sah’afi, saying that the word-cultivating field can only mean the vagina. Imam Sha’afi said that this means, besides vagina, all other places are forbidden. Ibnul Hassan accepted this rationale, that besides vagina all other places are not allowed. Imam Sha’afi further questioned, what if someone had sex between the ankles of his wife or between her elbows, would that be considered a fertile field? Imam Muhammad^R said, those areas cannot be fertile field—Imam Sha’afi then asks the Imam, if he considered that type of sex as ‘haraam’? Imam Muhammad^R said, “No.” Imam Sha’afi then asked his opponent, as to how can he rationalize about something, of which he himself is not convinced? Imam Hakum states that perhaps Imam Sha’afi may have believed in this tradition in his early years, as we notice, that he gave clarifications against it in his later years. (Fatih ul Bari fi Sharah Bukhari, Ibn Hajr: Hadith # 1634, Bab # 601).

You all have read the concerning ayaat of Quran. You have also gone through the (inhuman and degrading) explanations of this ayaat as they exist unfortunately in Bokhari’s collection. You have even glanced on the commentaries by different religious scholars, about this hadith. Now we leave it to you to decide if these could be considered the words coming from an honorable Messenger of Allah^SWT? And if Quran could be, by any ways, understood from these kinds of ahadith?

 

DO NOT FORBID WHAT HAS BEEN MADE HALAL:

It is narrated in chapter Mu’aida of Quran: 

(5:87)

“O ye believers! Those things that have been made halal by Allah; do not waste them.”

It clearly means, not to restrict your self of self-imposed limitations imitations. Only those boundaries must remain, that has been demarcated by God only. Let us read, what is written in Kitab ul Tafseer of Bokhari on this. It says:

            “Abdullah Bin Masood states that they accompanied the Messenger in Jihad (Holy war) and we did not have women with us. As we could not tolerate this separation from women because of gusto and heat. They asked the Messenger’s permission if they could castrate themselves. The Messenger at first forbade them, then later on he permitted them to enter into temporary matrimony with the consent of a woman. So they could be saved from castration and also because no one will be able to cast an evil glance. After granting permission, the Messenger read the above mentioned ayaat of Quran.” (Sahih Bukhari: Kitab'ul Tafsir)

MUTA:

By this above tradition we observe, the convention of Muta because permissible. In Kitab ul Nikha of Bokhari we read:

            “Salma Bin Akku says, they were on a Holy war path accompanying the Messenger (on the war of Hunain). Messenger, one day, came to them and said that Muta was permitted. They could do Muta.” (Translation, Vol.III, page 61)  (Sahih Muslim: Kitab'ul Nikah)

Another tradition has it:

            “Salma Bin Akku quotes the Messenger saying, “Whichever man and woman feels comfortable with each other can indulge in liberties for three nights. They are free to increase or decrease their time limit.” (ibid)  (Sahih Bukhari: Kitab'ul Nikah)

DETAILS OF MUTA:

Let us read more on this, as narrated in Sahih Muslim:

            A tradition comes from Subra Jehny?, when his holiness gave permission to do Muta. “Me and another person went to a woman in Bani Amir together. When we disclosed our desire, she wanted to know her compensation. We both said that we would give our shawls. My partner’s shawl was better than mine, But I looked younger than him. When the woman looked at our shawls, she was inclined towards him, and when she looked at our bodies, she came towards me. Finally she decided that me and my shawl would be good enough for her. And so I stayed with her for three days.” (Sahih Muslim: Kitab'ul Nikah)

Again, you must decide, if these stories can ever come from the honorable lips of Messenger Muhammad^PBUH.

6.      In chapter Ma’aida of Quran, it is written, on the day of judgment, Allah^SWT shall ask Messenger Jesus^PBUH, if he said to his people to worship him and his mother? Jesus^PBUH will reply, “Heaven forbid! How can I dare say such a thing. I only advised and urged the people to believe in one God.

 (5:117)

“As long as I was among them, I supervised their activities (so they may not take wrong paths). But when I left them, then the responsibility fell upon you. Whatever they did in my absence, I cannot be held responsible for it.”

Companions of the Messenger became Murted:

Every word of it is so obvious and clear, but the tradition being brought forward from Bokhari’s collection cannot be overlooked also:

Ibne Abbas^R has it that the Messenger delivered a sermon, “O people! You all will be risen towards Allah naked feet, naked body and without circumcision.” Messenger then recited the following ayaat:

 (2:104)

“We shall bring you up in the same condition, on doomsday, in which you were born. This is our promise, and it is up to us to complete this task.”

Messenger then said, “Abraham will be the first one to be covered with clothes. Be warned few people from my Ummat shall be brought forth and escorted by angels towards hell. At that moment I shall say to Allah that they are my companions. And a voice will boom (from Allah), telling that I do not know, what they did after I left them. At that moment I shall also repeat the words of Jesus^PBUH.

The voice from Allah will boom again, saying that these people became infidels, soon after you separated from them.” (Sahih Bukhari: Kitab'ul Tafsir)

This is being written about those (God forgive us) disciples, who fought wars and gave every once of their blood for the sake of Allah. It cannot even be imagined, the above story can ever be the words of the Messenger!

7.      It has it in the chapter of Joseph in Quran, when the reigning king heard the interpretation of his dream by Joseph^PBUH, he was very enthralled by his knowledge. And so he sent for Joseph^PBUH.

JOSEPH’S CHARACTER:

First of all, who does not want to get out of jail cells? All the more reason, when the captive individual happens to be innocent and the king desires to reward him/her. Under normal circumstances anybody would fall for such a call. But the characters of prophets and Messengers are above and beyond all these small temptations. Joseph’s reply to the king’s courier was, that he had no desire to come out of the cell in this manner. Joseph told the courier to go back to the king and ask, if the case in which he was involved, has been investigated into and finalized. If the king, only after re-investigation, concludes that he was innocent, only in that case will he be eager to come out of jail: 

(12:50)

This was the demonstration of the high and mighty character of prophets. But what we read in the explanation of Bokhari is:

Looking at the time period of Joseph^PBUH in jail, the Messenger said, “If I was in his place, I would have opted to come out of the cell!” (Sahih Bukhari: Book of Prophets)

It is brazenly obvious that this tradition is a blatant outcry of some Jew, who only wanted to elevate the character of their prophet (Joseph^PBUH) above and beyond that of (God forgive us) Muhammad^PBUH. And this tradition is also attributed to the Messenger.

Numerous amount of these kind of ahadith can be provided from Saha Sitta (the six most honored ahadith collections). But we shall suffice with only the above mentioned few examples, so that you all may surmise as to what is written in our ahadith books. At the same time our archaic believers are adamant, that we must believe these books as the most authentic and true words of the Messenger.

We will conclude this discussion with a tradition from the famous Trimidhi. After examing this heart rending tradition, just think, if we can lift our eyes up with dignity and honour. It has it in the chapter of Hijr: 

(15:24-25)

“We know those who came before and those who will come after you. Your god will gather them together. He is wise, He is knowledge.”

It is absolutely clear, that God will bring together all those people who have gone by and those that belong to future. Another ayaat having a similar meaning is narrated: 

(56:48-51)

“Say! Those that came before and those who came after, on the appointed day, shall be together.”

Now let us read the commentary of the above ayaat of chapter Hijr:

It has it in Trimidhi, that Ibne Abbas^R narrates,

“In the Mosque, there came a fair belle every day to pray after the Messenger. Among the disciples, some of them moved behind her, so as not to be distracted. While others moved ahead, and when bent forward in prayers, took a peek at her through their armpits. Because of this, Allah^SWT brought down this revelation, that he was aware of those ahead and those who were behind.”

We do not think, any kind of comments are necessary on this. Traditions of this sort, speak out for themselves, that these are nothing but fabricated lies. These traditions have been concocted by conspirators of Islam and attributed to Muhammad^PBUH. Unfortunately, our clergymen are obstinate, as not only we have to believe in these myths, we also must believe, these were revelations brought by archangel Gabriel upon Muhammad^PBUH.

These clergymen are in the strong notion that:

           “Gabriel came with Quran and Sunnah both. And taught Messenger the Sunnah just like the Quran.” (Quoted from Jamaat-e-Islami ka Nazariya-e-Hadith. Page 60 from Sheikh-ul-Hadith, Maulana Muhammad Ismail.)

            Meaning these traditions were God sent to Messenger through archangel Gabriel.

[1][This ayaat is usually translated that your women are your fields. You can go to them however way you please. Whereas the correct translation is that your women are your fields, you can go to them whenever you place] (Bokhari, Kitab ul Tafseer, page 649, Mujtabaee).
