All 2 billions educated and honest Muslims must read this message fully – That Proves that Hadiths were illegal in the time of Prophet and 4 Guided Caliphs
Abu Bakar 1st Caliph gathered disciples of prophet after death of prophet and said to them:
“You squabble among yourselves over hadith, this habit will increase as time goes by. Do not, therefore, narrate any saying of Messenger. If anyone wants to know, you can tell him the Quran is there between you and him. Whatever is allowed ought to be done, and refrain from what has been prohibited in the Quran.”
“If anyone inquires, you can always say tht we have the Holy Quran between us. Whatsoever it has been granted must be made permissible & whatsoever has been prohibited must be relinquished.” (Quoted in Tazkara tul Hifaaz e Zuhby)
“Abu Bakar RA brought collection of Hadiths and then he made a bonfire of them all.” (Quoted in Tudween e Hadith, page 285-88) –
“During Hazrat Omar’s caliphate the ahadith were in abundance. He made sure by putting the people under oath that whatever hadith the people had in their possession ought to be brought before him. As ordered, the public submitted whatever they possessed. He then ordered to make a public bonfire of those hadiths.”
(Tubqaat ibn Sa’ad, vol.5, page 141) –
Muhammad Husayn Haykal was an Egyptian writer, a great Islamic thinker, journalist, politician and Minister of Education in Egypt. He wrote in his Book “The Life of Muhammad, Cairo. 1935”:
“Umar ibn al-Khattab once tried to deal with the problem of committing the Hadith to writing. The companions of the Prophet whom he consulted, encouraged him, but he was not quite sure whether he should proceed. One day, moved by God’s inspiration, he made up his mind and announced: “I wanted to have the traditions of the Prophet written down, but I fear that the Book of God might be encroached upon. Hence I shall not permit this to happen.” He, therefore, changed his mind and instructed the Muslims throughout the provinces: “Whoever has a document bearing a prophetic tradition, shall destroy it.”
Dr. Mohammad Hamidullah with two doctorates, D. Phil., D. Litt., HI, academic author with over 450 books wrote in his Book “Introduction to Islam. Kuwait. 1977. pp. 34 & 35.”
“Abu-Dhahabi reports: The Caliph Abu-Bakr compiled a work, in which there were 500 traditions of the Prophet, and handed it over to his daughter ‘Aishah. The next morning, he took it back from her and destroyed it, saying: “I wrote what I understood; it is possible however that there should be certain things in it which did not correspond textually with what the Prophet had uttered.”
“As to Umar bin Khattab 2nd Caliph, we learn on the authority of Ma’mar ibn Rashid, that during his caliphate, Umar once consulted the companions of the Prophet on the subject of codifying the Hadith. Yet Umar continued to hesitate and pray to God for a whole month for guidance and enlightenment. Ultimately, he decided not to undertake the task, and said: “Former peoples neglected the Divine Books and concentrated only on the conduct of the prophets; I do not want to set up the possibility of confusion between the Divine Qur’an and the Prophet’s Hadith.”
Qarza bin Ka’ab said it that once they commenced their journey for Iraq. Omar 2nd Caliph accompanied them till a place called Sira’ar, upon reaching there he inquired from them, “Do you know why I have come with you this far?” We replied, “For our welfare and in our honor!” He said, “Yes! And also that you are going, where the voice of Quran echoes like honeybees. Do not involve those people in Ahadith, and stop them from the Quran or narrate any traditions to them.” Qarza says, after that day, they did not remember narrating any hadith again. (Jama ul Biyaan)
When Abi bin Ka’ab tried to tell some hadiths to Umar Khatab, Umar RA became so angry that he was near to order to beat him with stripes. Umar used to say “HasboNa Kitaab Allah”. For us BOOK of Allah Quran is enough.
Once Abu Salma asked Abu Huraira; were you also reporting so many hadiths in the time of Umar Khatab, as you are reporting now a days? He replied, If I had done so at that time; for Sure Umar Khataab had ordered to beat me with stripes.
Khatib al-Baghdadi says, and [so does] al-Dhahabi in Tadhkira al-Huffaz, that ‘Umar b. al-Khattab imprisoned three companions in Medina. These were Abu Darda, Ibn Mas’ud and Abu Mas’ud al-Ansari due to their excessive narration of traditions. Umar kept them under house arrest in Medina and did not let them out for as long as he lived.
Furthermore, ‘Umar commanded the companions to bring the books of traditions at their disposal to him. They thought he wanted to organize them in a way so that there would be no differences between them. They brought their books, he burnt them all in the fire.
The third Caliph, Othman did not pay any heed to hadith or traditions. Once Ali’s son came to Othman with a script of command by Muhammad, about zakat. Othman, asked to be excused! (quoted by Al Sheikh Azhir bin Saleh).
Third Caliph Uthman RA used to reject hadiths that any one used to bring to him. Once Mohammad bin Ali RA took a paper to Caliph Uthman. In that Paper a hadith was written about Zakat. Uthman RA told Mohammad bin Ali “will you please keep me away from these hadiths” [Professor Allama Hafiz Aslam Jairajpuri]
Third Caliph uthman was heard on the Minbar(a stepped Chair in mosque from where Sermon of Firday is delivered) saying that no one has the right to narrate Hadith as were not narrated during the reigns of Abu bakr and Umar (al-Tabaqat al-Kubra by ibn Sa’ad)
Fourth Caliph Ali bin Abu Talib gathered all the noble companions and said, “Disperse all of you and erase all Ahadith. Previous nations were destroyed for forsaking Allah’s Revealed Books and following the collections of their scholars.” (Mukhtasar Jaame’ Bayan-il-‘Ilm pg 33) – [Please read verse of Quran 25:30 too]
Fifth Caliph Ameer Mua’awiya used to tell the people in public and openly, not to narrate from the prophet, as reported by al-Khateeb al-Baghdadi in al-Faqeeh wal Mutafaqqih, and in Tadween al-Sunnah:
In “Tabaqat ibn Sa’ad”, it is reported that Fifth Caliph Ameer Mu’awiya, when was the governor of al-Sham(Syria) prohibited anyone to sit with Abu Dhar al-Ghifari (because he used to narrate too much like Abu Huraira who was rebuked by Ummar Khattab 2nd Caliph)
“Thirty years after the death of Prophet Muhammad [Peace be upon him], Chief Scribe for Quranic Wahi, Zayd visited the palace of Caliph Amir Moaavia. One day Zayd told a very good story about Prophet. Caliph liked the story very much and called a person to write down that story But Zayd said, NO; Prophet strictly forbade us to write any of his hadith EXCEPT Book of Allah – Quran. Reference: Recorded in RAW HISTORY BOOK “The Sunan of Abu-Dawood” under report No. 1635 (3640)
Professor Allama Hafiz Aslam Jairajpuri was a great Islamic thinker. He was Distinguished Professor of Arabic and Persian at Aligarh Muslim University and Jamia Millia Islamia. Some excerpts from his Book Ilme-Hadith are as under:
A group of students of hadiths reached to the house of Hazrat Fazeel bin Ayaaz Abid-Hur-mein [died 187 Hijri] but Fazeel did not allow them to enter in his house & Fazeel took his head out from the window of his house. Students of Hadiths saluted him and asked “How are YOU Ya Sheikh?”. Fazeel replied, From the side of Allah, I am very good but from your side, I am in serious trouble from the job in which you are. You have created a NEW Bid’at[Sinful invention] in Islam. Inna Lilla-hay Wa Inna Elaihay Raje-uoon”. You have left BOOK of Allah. If you have held fast BOOK of Allah, then your hearts get rescued from evils. Students said, “But we have read Quran already”. Fazeel replied, Quran is such BOOK which is enough for you and for your coming generations & then recited verse 10:57-58 of Quran.
10:57: O MANKIND! There has now come unto you an admonition from your Sustainer, and a cure for all [the ill] that may be in men’s hearts, and guidance and grace unto all who believe [in Him]
10:58 Say: “In [this] bounty of God and in His grace-in this, then, let them rejoice: it is better than all that they may amass!”
Imam Sufyan bin Aainiya [died 198 Hijri] said, I wished the ilme-hadith was in a big basket of glass upon my head & that basket had fallen down breaking into small pieces, so that no any buyer of hadiths would had come to me. Whenever Imam Sufyan became very angry from any evil person/enemy in his life, He used to pray to Allah, O Allah, make him Mohaddith [Imam of Hadith=Hadith collecter/compliler]
Well known Companions of Prophet Abdulah bin Abbas & Abdullah bin Umar also used to forbid hadiths and used to say that past nations were destroyed because they started to follow hadith collections of their scholars and left BOOKS of Allah.
“It is written in famaous Book Mukhtasir Jaamia Bayan Il-Ilm of Hafiz Ibne Abdul Barr [died 463 Hijri] that Dhaak Ibne Mazaham [died 105 Hijri] said that time will come when Quran will be placed in house corners covered with spidar net & will not be utilized by Muslims & people will run only after hadiths.
Suleman bin Hayaan Azwi[died 196AD] whom nick name was Abu Khalid Al-Aahmar said: Time will come when people will put Quran aside & will be bussy only in hadiths & fiqa.
Imam Daud Taa’i stopped to narrate Hadiths. When people asked, why did you stop? He replied that finaly he realized that to narrate hadiths is against Haq.(mean it is a sin or a action of Satan)”. ——- Quran 25:30 “And the Messenger will say, “O my Lord! These are my people, the ones who had disabled and made this Qur’an of no account.” (MAHJUR = They had immobilized it like villagers who bind a cow by tying her front foot to her horn).
It was crime to possess any hadith in the time of Umar Khattaab RA. Umar RA threatened Liar Abu Huraira to stop forged hadiths or be banished.[ Read more detail in this page. What Aisha RA & 2nd caliph Umar Khattab told to Abu Huraira].
“I have seen Ahadith in the Six Right Ones Books of Persian Imams that completely cancel out the Qur’an.”
(Nizaam-ul-Qur’an by Sheikh Hamiduddin Farahi)
One great scholar of his time “Abaid-Allah” sindhi writes: “I feel shame to teach Book of Bukhari to neo-Muslim”
“Whatever utterances we heard from Muhammad PBUH we noted them down in writing. One day it so happened the Messenger appeared and asked us about the subject of our writings. We replied that whatsoever we hear from his Majesty’s lips we transform it into writing. To which he said, “What! Are you compiling another book along with the book of Allah?” Meaning in other words that this cannot be made possible. He then insisted and commanded us that we ought to keep Allah’s words pure and that we must not amalgamate them with any kind of ambiguities. So we made a bonfire of our notes and parables in an open field.”
(Quoted from Tudween e Hadith, page 249)
In HISTORY BOOK “Sunnan AL-Daramy” it is written that Ali Ibn Abu Talib, the fourth Khalifa in one of his speeches said, “I urge all those who have writings taken from the Messenger of God to go home and erase it. The people before you were annihilated because they followed the hadiths of their scholars and left the book of their Lord.”
It is written in HISTORY BOOK named “Musnad of Ibn Hanbal” that Abdullah Ibn Omar said, “the Messenger of God one day came out to us as if he was going to depart us soon and said, “When I depart you (die), hold to the book of God, prohibit what it prohibits and accept as halal what it makes halal.”
It is written in famous book “Taq-yed Al-Ilm “that Abu Saeed Al-Khudry said, “I asked the Messenger of God a permission to write his hadiths, but he refused to give me a permission.”
In the book of al-Bidaya wal Nihaya (ibn Katheer), it is written that 2nd Caliph Umar Khattaab RA threatened Abu Hurayra to stop narrating hadiths or he will be chased after till the land of Daws (which is where Abu Hurayra is from)
Umar Khattaab RA wrote letters to the Prophet’s companions, who lived in other cities, asking them to destroy all the copies of hadiths in their hands” [Ibn Abdil Berr, Camiul Bayanil Ilm ve Fazluhu.]
Umar said: Burn all the collections of hadith as these are like the Mishnah of the Jewish people.” Umar drew a parallel between the Mishnah that had contributed to the corruption of Judaism and the hadiths.[Tabqaat Ibn Sa’d}
“Ibn Abbas used to say, regarding the prohibition of copying the hadiths: “The communities before you deviated from the right path because of books they wrote like yours.”
[Ibn Abdul Berr, Jamia ul Bayaan il ilm]
Some Companions came to report to 4th Caliph Ali Ibne Taalib and said: “The public is engrossed in hadiths.” “Is that so?” asked Ali. The answer was in the affirmative. “I had heard the Prophet say that a mischievous dissension seemed to lurk ahead.” I asked him what could that be and he replied: “The salvation is in the Quran. Those that went before you and those that will come after you are within reach of the Quran, the Book that settles all disputes; it is no joke, mind you. Anyone who abandons It will be subject to the wrath of God. Anyone seeking a truer path will go astray. It is the infallible rope of God. It is full of wisdom. It leads man along the right path. It is the Book that will surely lead you in the right direction, a Book with inexhaustible riches.” [Quoted from HISTORY BOOKS of Sunnan-i Tirmizi, and Sunnan Darimi]
“During the first century of Islam & also thereafter the various political parties, the heretics, THE PROFESSIONAL PREACHERS (Mullahs/scholars), and even a number of sincere Muslims, all made their contributions to the growing rubbish-heap of false traditions (Hadiths)”.
“They made deliberate changes to the text or the Isnad of certain Hadiths & fabricated others from scratch for the sake of sectarian gain”
Ref: (Hadith Literature by: Dr. Professor Muhammad Zubayr Siddiqi)
The Zanadika (Heretics) Hammad ibne Zayed, Abdul Karim ibn Abil-Awaja, Bauyyan ibn Saman & Muhammad ibne Said have invented over 19000 hadiths in the name of Prophet. Some even pious Muslims, Shia & Khawaraj produced fake hadith many times more than even Heretics. Abbasids & Ummayads concocted countless hadiths to support their politics & sects. Ghiyath Ibne Ibrahim made intentional changes in hadith to please Caliph Al-Mahdi.
Ref: (Hadith Literature by: Dr. Professor Muhammad Zubayr Siddiqi)
“Kulthum ibne Amral Attabi once collected a crowd round himself in a mosque & related to them – with full Isnad (chain of narrations) a hadith saying that he who touched the tip of his nose with his tongue might rest assured that he would never go to Hell. The audience showed their readiness to accept this forgery as a genuine (shaih) hadith – by trying to ascertain their fate in this way”
Ref: (Hadith Literature by: Dr. Professor Muhammad Zubayr Siddiqi)
“Sometimes in order to do mischief to people & gain their own ends, two storytellers would work together to forge hadiths. In this ways one of them once stood up at the end of a street narrating hadiths in praise of Ali RA, while the other stood up at the other end extolling the virtues of Abu Bakar RA. Thus did they make money from both the Shia and Nasibis & at the end of the day divided the proceeds equally among themselves”
Ref: (Hadith Literature by: Dr. Professor Muhammad Zubayr Siddiqi)
“The most dangerous type of hadith forgers came from the ranks of devout hadith compilers themselves. Their sinceirty & love for hadiths could not be doubted but many of them attempted unwittingly to kill the Ilm of hadiths by forging hadiths scribing them to the Prophet & spreading them across the Muslim community.
Nuh ibn Abi Maryam who had studied theology with scholars of great repute was known as Al-Jami on account of his vast & varied learning. He acted as judge at Merv during the reign of Abbasid Caliph Mansur. He related hadiths describing the virtues of various chapters of the Quran, But when he was pressed by authorities from whom he had recieved these hadiths, he confessed that he had FORGED them for the sake of GOD and to attract people to His book.
Aban ibn Abi Ayyash who was one of the most godly people of his time, was severely censured by Shu’ba ibn Al-Hajjaj and more than 1500 hadiths narrated by him on the authority of Anas were found to have no foundation.
Ahmed Ibn Muhammad Al-Bahili (D.275/888) was generally venerated for his piety but when investigated, his 400 hadiths which were related by him, were found all forged. He himself confessed to having forged hadiths in order to make the hearts of people tender & soft.
Sulayman ibn Amr was a contemporary of Ibn Hanbal and would fast by day & offer prayers by night, outdoing in his many of his contemporaries but he was found none the less as a liar and forger of hadiths
Wahab ibne Hafs was generally regarded as a virtuous Muslim. His asceticism was so acute that it is said that for 20 yrs he did not speak to anyone. Yet none the less, he did not hesitate to forge hadiths.
Many other well-intentioned and outwardly pious Muslims such as Maysara ibn Abd Rabbih the PERSIAN, Ahmed ibn Harab the man of piety, Ubad ibn Kuthayr, Abd-Allah ibn Ayyub, Hushaym ibn Bashir, Ziyad ibn Abd-Allah & the followers of Muhammad ibn Karram Al-Sigistani (Persian) held that it was permissible to FORGE hadiths in order to attract people to good deed and warn them gainst evil. These type of FORGERS then wrought havoc with Ilm Hadith. Their activities were often very extensive indeed. Most of Hadiths concerning the advent of the Dajjal and the Mahdi toward end of time, are forged.
We are told that Muhammad ibn Ukkasha and Muhammad ibn Tamin forged more than 10000 hadiths. Abu Said ibn Jafar forged more than 300 hadiths in the name of Abu-Hanifa alone. Ahmed Al-Qaysi concocted more than 3000 hadiths. Ahmed Al-Marwazi forged more than 10000 hadiths. Furthermore, a large number of other forgers like Ziyad ibn Maymun, Shurayk ibn Abd-Allah, and Talha ibn Amr invented thousands of false hadiths, some of which are quoted in sermons and declaimed from the Pulpits (Member of Masjad= A stepped wooden chair on which a Mullah delivers his sermon) even today”. Ref: (Hadith Literature by: Dr. Professor Muhammad Zubayr Siddiqi)
O Educated Reader: Here again we ask you. Should you build your faith on Book of Allah which is complete and fully detailed; or should you build your faith on these fabricated 2.3 millions [hearsay+gossip]=hadiths? Our dear! in this scenario, u are the decision maker. So you decide yourself. We are true Muslims and so want to tell you the truth.
One of the most truthful Islamic Thinkers of history, German Muslim Scholar Dr. Murad Wilfried Hofmann writes:
“Given the fact that tens of thousands of fabricated hadiths circulated within two centuries of the Prophet’s death, we simply have to admit that the hadith and Sunnah is not as reliable as we would all wish it to be. Let us be cruelly sober: Someone clever and ruthless enough to fabricate the matn of a hadith – be it for political or “pious” reasons – would he not be clever and ruthless enough to also fabricate its isnad?”
Though we have already provided above more than enough referenced solid proofs which confirm again and again that It was illegal to write & record any even true hadith of beloved Prophet, by Prophet and four guided Caliphs; but let we also listen what top most Researcher Orientalists of Islam has said about this subject. Their opinion is also important because they do not belong to any evil non-Quranic sects such as Sunni Shia Wahabi, Salfi, Deobandi, Brailvi etc ++++++ NO END.
One of the top most Researchers and orientalists of Europe, Goldziher (22 June 1850 – 13 November 1921), was a Hungarian scholar of Islam, He writes: “In those weeks, I truly entered into the spirit of Islam to such an extent that ultimately I became inwardly convinced that I myself was a Muslim, and judiciously discovered that this was the only religion which, even in its doctrinal and official formulation, can satisfy philosophic minds”. In Cairo Egypt, Goldziher even prayed as a Muslim. He further writes: “In the midst of the thousands of the pious, I rubbed my forehead against the floor of the mosque. Never in my life was I more devout, more truly devout, than on that exalted Friday.” But despite his love for Islam, Goldziher remained a devout Jew all his life. His affection for both religions led him to seek the cross pollination of ideas between the faiths.
In 1890 he published “Muhammedanische Studien” in which Goldziher draws a picture of a Muslim society where the fabrication of hadiths was a widespread phenomenon, with people frequently producing fictitious hadiths for political or other purposes. He argues that different groups would either make up many hadiths that supported their respective positions, or modify existing traditions to justify their views, or else censor the hadiths that had been adopted by others. He also accuses Muslim scholars of relying solely on the isnad (chain of transmitters) without paying attention to ‘obvious anachronisms’ in hadith texts.
The Dutch orientalist C. Snouck Hurgronje (1857-1936), a contemporary of Goldziher, writes: “The hadith literature was a product of dominant groups in the first three centuries of Islam, and thus it reflected their views. The idea that the roots of these hadiths can be traced all the way back to the Prophet is completely false and that the life and teachings of the Prophet cannot be re-constructed based on these traditions”.
Goldziher’s view that Muslim scholars could not notice the ‘obvious anachronisms’ in hadith texts was also taken up by the Belgian orientalist Henri Lammens (1862-1937). According to him: “Since the Muslim ulema (scholarly class) largely confined their efforts to the critique of narrative chains (isnad) and paid insufficient attention to the internal/textual critique of the hadiths, they failed to notice logical and historical impossibilities and anachronisms in the narrations.”
An other top Orientalist of Europe, David Samuel Margoliouth (1858-1940), Professor of Arabic at the University of Oxford, writes: “The concepts of infallibility (ismah) and non-recited revelation (wahy ghayr matluw) as theories were constructed to justify the position of fabricated Sunna as a legitimate source of the Islamic law”.
Note: Please note, that he was the biggest Criminal of Islam, Paul of Islam, Imam Shafi who was founding father of this forgery that produced Bida’a of Sunna and Hadith in Islam & opened door for Persian Zoroastrian Imams to forge Millions of lies against Islam in the name of Prophet 250-400 years after the death of Prophet. He was inventer of fabrications such as One Wahi is in Quran and other is out side the Quran in forged Sunna and forged Hadiths. He just fabricated this lie and preached this lie to blindly following Muslims with the full support of Pro-Persian and Pro-Zoroastrian GOV of Abbasid Caliphs.
Joseph Schacht was a British-German professor of Arabic and Islam at Columbia University in New York. He was the leading Western scholar on Islamic law. He writes:
“There is ano any evidence of legal traditions(hadith & suna) before Year 722AD in Islam & we can conclude that the Sunna or hadiths of the Prophet is not the words and deeds of the Prophet, but apocryphal material dating from later”
Fazlur Rahman, who was the Harold H. Swift Distinguished Service Professor of Islamic Thought at the University of Chicago wrote in his book Islam (1966) on the historic study of the Hadith. Summarising I. Goldziher’s scientific study of the Hadith, he writes:
But his argument runs, since the corpus of the Hadith continued to swell in each succeeding generation, and since in each generation the material runs parallel to and reflects various and often contradictory doctrines of Muslim theological and legal schools, the final recorded product of the Hadith, which date from the 3rd/ 9th century [over 250 years after the death of the prophet], must be regarded as being on the whole unreliable as a source for the prophets own teaching and conduct (1979:44)
Professor Schacht, who according to Fazlur Rahman is the first scholar to have undertaken a, “extensive and systematic comparison of legal traditions in their historical sequence, is unassailably scientific and sound in method&127;(1979:47-48), did not believe that the Hadith or the concept of “Sunna of the Prophet” were part of first century Islam. Shafi [150-204/767-819] introduced them, at the earliest, nearly two hundred years after the death of the prophet. The Koran states exactly the same. The Koran was the only “Hadith” that was conveyed by the prophet and formed the guidance for the early Muslim community.
The lie of Science of Hadiths and Lie of Chains of Narrations:
Hadith believing Muslims make big claims on the so-called scientific compilation of Hadith. Let it be clear however, that no matter how scientific you are in your compilation of what is “false” to start with, the compilation cannot make it true. Even the criteria that is presented are un-objective, i.e. the truthfulness of a particular narrator with a story of how truthful he was. To repeat, falsehood is not converted to truth by its scientific compilation.
The scientific method demands that “subjective” proof i.e. how truthful a person was be ignored and the item tested on objective criteria. What does the content say?
To sum up:
Whole Islamic law is contained ONLY IN QURAN.
All what is not given in complete and fully detailed Quran is NOT PART OF ISLAM.
Any ritual [like 5 daily rituals Namaz of Persian Zoroastrians], rite or sharia laws that has no roots in Quran, is foreign material that was blended in Islam during 508 years during Pro-Persian Pro-Zoroastrian Abbasid Caliphs from 750-1258 AD,
Do you believe in what Allah says? Quranic Verse 5:44 declares those persons “KAAFIRS” who make sharia Laws from other Books than Noble Quran. [So no any Sharia law is valid but from Quran].
Obeying the messenger is in upholding Quran, the whole Quran, and nothing but Quran.
All 2 billions educated and honest Muslims must read this message fully – That Proves that Hadiths were illegal in the time of Prophet and 4 Guided Caliphs
Abu Bakar 1st Caliph gathered disciples of prophet after death of prophet and said to them:
“You squabble among yourselves over hadith, this habit will increase as time goes by. Do not, therefore, narrate any saying of Messenger. If anyone wants to know, you can tell him the Quran is there between you and him. Whatever is allowed ought to be done, and refrain from what has been prohibited in the Quran.”

When Abi bin Ka’ab tried to tell some hadiths to Umar Khatab, Umar RA became so angry that he was near to order to beat him with stripes. Umar used to say “HasboNa Kitaab Allah”. For us BOOK of Allah Quran is enough.

Fifth Caliph Ameer Mua’awiya used to tell the people in public and openly, not to narrate from the prophet, as reported by al-Khateeb al-Baghdadi in al-Faqeeh wal Mutafaqqih, and in Tadween al-Sunnah:
In “Tabaqat ibn Sa’ad”, it is reported that Fifth Caliph Ameer Mu’awiya, when was the governor of al-Sham(Syria) prohibited anyone to sit with Abu Dhar al-Ghifari (because he used to narrate too much like Abu Huraira who was rebuked by Ummar Khattab 2nd Caliph)
“Thirty years after the death of Prophet Muhammad [Peace be upon him], Chief Scribe for Quranic Wahi, Zayd visited the palace of Caliph Amir Moaavia. One day Zayd told a very good story about Prophet. Caliph liked the story very much and called a person to write down that story But Zayd said, NO; Prophet strictly forbade us to write any of his hadith EXCEPT Book of Allah – Quran.

Professor Allama Hafiz Aslam Jairajpuri was a great Islamic thinker. He was Distinguished Professor of Arabic and Persian at Aligarh Muslim University and Jamia Millia Islamia. Some excerpts from his Book Ilme-Hadith are as under:
A group of students of hadiths reached to the house of Hazrat Fazeel bin Ayaaz Abid-Hur-mein [died 187 Hijri] but Fazeel did not allow them to enter in his house & Fazeel took his head out from the window of his house. Students of Hadiths saluted him and asked “How are YOU Ya Sheikh?”. Fazeel replied, From the side of Allah, I am very good but from your side, I am in serious trouble from the job in which you are. You have created a NEW Bid’at[Sinful invention] in Islam. Inna Lilla-hay Wa Inna Elaihay Raje-uoon”. You have left BOOK of Allah. If you have held fast BOOK of Allah, then your hearts get rescued from evils. Students said, “But we have read Quran already”. Fazeel replied, Quran is such BOOK which is enough for you and for your coming generations & then recited verse 10:57-58 of Quran.
10:57: O MANKIND! There has now come unto you an admonition from your Sustainer, and a cure for all [the ill] that may be in men’s hearts, and guidance and grace unto all who believe [in Him]
10:58 Say: “In [this] bounty of God and in His grace-in this, then, let them rejoice: it is better than all that they may amass!”
Imam Sufyan bin Aainiya [died 198 Hijri] said, I wished the ilme-hadith was in a big basket of glass upon my head & that basket had fallen down breaking into small pieces, so that no any buyer of hadiths would had come to me. Whenever Imam Sufyan became very angry from any evil person/enemy in his life, He used to pray to Allah, O Allah, make him Mohaddith [Imam of Hadith=Hadith collecter/compliler]
Well known Companions of Prophet Abdulah bin Abbas & Abdullah bin Umar also used to forbid hadiths and used to say that past nations were destroyed because they started to follow hadith collections of their scholars and left BOOKS of Allah.
“It is written in famaous Book Mukhtasir Jaamia Bayan Il-Ilm of Hafiz Ibne Abdul Barr [died 463 Hijri] that Dhaak Ibne Mazaham [died 105 Hijri] said that time will come when Quran will be placed in house corners covered with spidar net & will not be utilized by Muslims & people will run only after hadiths.
Suleman bin Hayaan Azwi[died 196AD] whom nick name was Abu Khalid Al-Aahmar said: Time will come when people will put Quran aside & will be bussy only in hadiths & fiqa.
Imam Daud Taa’i stopped to narrate Hadiths. When people asked, why did you stop? He replied that finaly he realized that to narrate hadiths is against Haq.(mean it is a sin or a action of Satan)”. ——- Quran 25:30 “And the Messenger will say, “O my Lord! These are my people, the ones who had disabled and made this Qur’an of no account.” (MAHJUR = They had immobilized it like villagers who bind a cow by tying her front foot to her horn).
It was crime to possess any hadith in the time of Umar Khattaab RA. Umar RA threatened Liar Abu Huraira to stop forged hadiths or be banished.[ Read more detail in this page. What Aisha RA & 2nd caliph Umar Khattab told to Abu Huraira].
“I have seen Ahadith in the Six Right Ones Books of Persian Imams that completely cancel out the Qur’an.”
(Nizaam-ul-Qur’an by Sheikh Hamiduddin Farahi)
One great scholar of his time “Abaid-Allah” sindhi writes: “I feel shame to teach Book of Bukhari to neo-Muslim”
“Whatever utterances we heard from Muhammad PBUH we noted them down in writing. One day it so happened the Messenger appeared and asked us about the subject of our writings. We replied that whatsoever we hear from his Majesty’s lips we transform it into writing. To which he said, “What! Are you compiling another book along with the book of Allah?” Meaning in other words that this cannot be made possible. He then insisted and commanded us that we ought to keep Allah’s words pure and that we must not amalgamate them with any kind of ambiguities. So we made a bonfire of our notes and parables in an open field.”
(Quoted from Tudween e Hadith, page 249)
In HISTORY BOOK “Sunnan AL-Daramy” it is written that Ali Ibn Abu Talib, the fourth Khalifa in one of his speeches said, “I urge all those who have writings taken from the Messenger of God to go home and erase it. The people before you were annihilated because they followed the hadiths of their scholars and left the book of their Lord.”
It is written in HISTORY BOOK named “Musnad of Ibn Hanbal” that Abdullah Ibn Omar said, “the Messenger of God one day came out to us as if he was going to depart us soon and said, “When I depart you (die), hold to the book of God, prohibit what it prohibits and accept as halal what it makes halal.”
It is written in famous book “Taq-yed Al-Ilm “that Abu Saeed Al-Khudry said, “I asked the Messenger of God a permission to write his hadiths, but he refused to give me a permission.”
In the book of al-Bidaya wal Nihaya (ibn Katheer), it is written that 2nd Caliph Umar Khattaab RA threatened Abu Hurayra to stop narrating hadiths or he will be chased after till the land of Daws (which is where Abu Hurayra is from)
Umar Khattaab RA wrote letters to the Prophet’s companions, who lived in other cities, asking them to destroy all the copies of hadiths in their hands” [Ibn Abdil Berr, Camiul Bayanil Ilm ve Fazluhu.]
Umar said: Burn all the collections of hadith as these are like the Mishnah of the Jewish people.” Umar drew a parallel between the Mishnah that had contributed to the corruption of Judaism and the hadiths.[Tabqaat Ibn Sa’d}
“Ibn Abbas used to say, regarding the prohibition of copying the hadiths: “The communities before you deviated from the right path because of books they wrote like yours.”
[Ibn Abdul Berr, Jamia ul Bayaan il ilm]
Some Companions came to report to 4th Caliph Ali Ibne Taalib and said: “The public is engrossed in hadiths.” “Is that so?” asked Ali. The answer was in the affirmative. “I had heard the Prophet say that a mischievous dissension seemed to lurk ahead.” I asked him what could that be and he replied: “The salvation is in the Quran. Those that went before you and those that will come after you are within reach of the Quran, the Book that settles all disputes; it is no joke, mind you. Anyone who abandons It will be subject to the wrath of God. Anyone seeking a truer path will go astray. It is the infallible rope of God. It is full of wisdom. It leads man along the right path. It is the Book that will surely lead you in the right direction, a Book with inexhaustible riches.” [Quoted from HISTORY BOOKS of Sunnan-i Tirmizi, and Sunnan Darimi]
“During the first century of Islam & also thereafter the various political parties, the heretics, THE PROFESSIONAL PREACHERS (Mullahs/scholars), and even a number of sincere Muslims, all made their contributions to the growing rubbish-heap of false traditions (Hadiths)”.
“They made deliberate changes to the text or the Isnad of certain Hadiths & fabricated others from scratch for the sake of sectarian gain”
Ref: (Hadith Literature by: Dr. Professor Muhammad Zubayr Siddiqi)
The Zanadika (Heretics) Hammad ibne Zayed, Abdul Karim ibn Abil-Awaja, Bauyyan ibn Saman & Muhammad ibne Said have invented over 19000 hadiths in the name of Prophet. Some even pious Muslims, Shia & Khawaraj produced fake hadith many times more than even Heretics. Abbasids & Ummayads concocted countless hadiths to support their politics & sects. Ghiyath Ibne Ibrahim made intentional changes in hadith to please Caliph Al-Mahdi.
Ref: (Hadith Literature by: Dr. Professor Muhammad Zubayr Siddiqi)
“Kulthum ibne Amral Attabi once collected a crowd round himself in a mosque & related to them – with full Isnad (chain of narrations) a hadith saying that he who touched the tip of his nose with his tongue might rest assured that he would never go to Hell. The audience showed their readiness to accept this forgery as a genuine (shaih) hadith – by trying to ascertain their fate in this way”
Ref: (Hadith Literature by: Dr. Professor Muhammad Zubayr Siddiqi)
“Sometimes in order to do mischief to people & gain their own ends, two storytellers would work together to forge hadiths. In this ways one of them once stood up at the end of a street narrating hadiths in praise of Ali RA, while the other stood up at the other end extolling the virtues of Abu Bakar RA. Thus did they make money from both the Shia and Nasibis & at the end of the day divided the proceeds equally among themselves”
Ref: (Hadith Literature by: Dr. Professor Muhammad Zubayr Siddiqi)
“The most dangerous type of hadith forgers came from the ranks of devout hadith compilers themselves. Their sinceirty & love for hadiths could not be doubted but many of them attempted unwittingly to kill the Ilm of hadiths by forging hadiths scribing them to the Prophet & spreading them across the Muslim community.
Nuh ibn Abi Maryam who had studied theology with scholars of great repute was known as Al-Jami on account of his vast & varied learning. He acted as judge at Merv during the reign of Abbasid Caliph Mansur. He related hadiths describing the virtues of various chapters of the Quran, But when he was pressed by authorities from whom he had recieved these hadiths, he confessed that he had FORGED them for the sake of GOD and to attract people to His book.
Aban ibn Abi Ayyash who was one of the most godly people of his time, was severely censured by Shu’ba ibn Al-Hajjaj and more than 1500 hadiths narrated by him on the authority of Anas were found to have no foundation.
Ahmed Ibn Muhammad Al-Bahili (D.275/888) was generally venerated for his piety but when investigated, his 400 hadiths which were related by him, were found all forged. He himself confessed to having forged hadiths in order to make the hearts of people tender & soft.
Sulayman ibn Amr was a contemporary of Ibn Hanbal and would fast by day & offer prayers by night, outdoing in his many of his contemporaries but he was found none the less as a liar and forger of hadiths
Wahab ibne Hafs was generally regarded as a virtuous Muslim. His asceticism was so acute that it is said that for 20 yrs he did not speak to anyone. Yet none the less, he did not hesitate to forge hadiths.
Many other well-intentioned and outwardly pious Muslims such as Maysara ibn Abd Rabbih the PERSIAN, Ahmed ibn Harab the man of piety, Ubad ibn Kuthayr, Abd-Allah ibn Ayyub, Hushaym ibn Bashir, Ziyad ibn Abd-Allah & the followers of Muhammad ibn Karram Al-Sigistani (Persian) held that it was permissible to FORGE hadiths in order to attract people to good deed and warn them gainst evil. These type of FORGERS then wrought havoc with Ilm Hadith. Their activities were often very extensive indeed. Most of Hadiths concerning the advent of the Dajjal and the Mahdi toward end of time, are forged.
We are told that Muhammad ibn Ukkasha and Muhammad ibn Tamin forged more than 10000 hadiths. Abu Said ibn Jafar forged more than 300 hadiths in the name of Abu-Hanifa alone. Ahmed Al-Qaysi concocted more than 3000 hadiths. Ahmed Al-Marwazi forged more than 10000 hadiths. Furthermore, a large number of other forgers like Ziyad ibn Maymun, Shurayk ibn Abd-Allah, and Talha ibn Amr invented thousands of false hadiths, some of which are quoted in sermons and declaimed from the Pulpits (Member of Masjad= A stepped wooden chair on which a Mullah delivers his sermon) even today”. Ref: (Hadith Literature by: Dr. Professor Muhammad Zubayr Siddiqi)
O Educated Reader: Here again we ask you. Should you build your faith on Book of Allah which is complete and fully detailed; or should you build your faith on these fabricated 2.3 millions [hearsay+gossip]=hadiths? Our dear! in this scenario, u are the decision maker. So you decide yourself. We are true Muslims and so want to tell you the truth.
One of the most truthful Islamic Thinkers of history, German Muslim Scholar Dr. Murad Wilfried Hofmann writes:
“Given the fact that tens of thousands of fabricated hadiths circulated within two centuries of the Prophet’s death, we simply have to admit that the hadith and Sunnah is not as reliable as we would all wish it to be. Let us be cruelly sober: Someone clever and ruthless enough to fabricate the matn of a hadith – be it for political or “pious” reasons – would he not be clever and ruthless enough to also fabricate its isnad?”
Though we have already provided above more than enough referenced solid proofs which confirm again and again that It was illegal to write & record any even true hadith of beloved Prophet, by Prophet and four guided Caliphs; but let we also listen what top most Researcher Orientalists of Islam has said about this subject. Their opinion is also important because they do not belong to any evil non-Quranic sects such as Sunni Shia Wahabi, Salfi, Deobandi, Brailvi etc ++++++ NO END.
One of the top most Researchers and orientalists of Europe, Goldziher (22 June 1850 – 13 November 1921), was a Hungarian scholar of Islam, He writes: “In those weeks, I truly entered into the spirit of Islam to such an extent that ultimately I became inwardly convinced that I myself was a Muslim, and judiciously discovered that this was the only religion which, even in its doctrinal and official formulation, can satisfy philosophic minds”. In Cairo Egypt, Goldziher even prayed as a Muslim. He further writes: “In the midst of the thousands of the pious, I rubbed my forehead against the floor of the mosque. Never in my life was I more devout, more truly devout, than on that exalted Friday.” But despite his love for Islam, Goldziher remained a devout Jew all his life. His affection for both religions led him to seek the cross pollination of ideas between the faiths.
In 1890 he published “Muhammedanische Studien” in which Goldziher draws a picture of a Muslim society where the fabrication of hadiths was a widespread phenomenon, with people frequently producing fictitious hadiths for political or other purposes. He argues that different groups would either make up many hadiths that supported their respective positions, or modify existing traditions to justify their views, or else censor the hadiths that had been adopted by others. He also accuses Muslim scholars of relying solely on the isnad (chain of transmitters) without paying attention to ‘obvious anachronisms’ in hadith texts.
The Dutch orientalist C. Snouck Hurgronje (1857-1936), a contemporary of Goldziher, writes: “The hadith literature was a product of dominant groups in the first three centuries of Islam, and thus it reflected their views. The idea that the roots of these hadiths can be traced all the way back to the Prophet is completely false and that the life and teachings of the Prophet cannot be re-constructed based on these traditions”.
Goldziher’s view that Muslim scholars could not notice the ‘obvious anachronisms’ in hadith texts was also taken up by the Belgian orientalist Henri Lammens (1862-1937). According to him: “Since the Muslim ulema (scholarly class) largely confined their efforts to the critique of narrative chains (isnad) and paid insufficient attention to the internal/textual critique of the hadiths, they failed to notice logical and historical impossibilities and anachronisms in the narrations.”
An other top Orientalist of Europe, David Samuel Margoliouth (1858-1940), Professor of Arabic at the University of Oxford, writes: “The concepts of infallibility (ismah) and non-recited revelation (wahy ghayr matluw) as theories were constructed to justify the position of fabricated Sunna as a legitimate source of the Islamic law”.
Note: Please note, that he was the biggest Criminal of Islam, Paul of Islam, Imam Shafi who was founding father of this forgery that produced Bida’a of Sunna and Hadith in Islam & opened door for Persian Zoroastrian Imams to forge Millions of lies against Islam in the name of Prophet 250-400 years after the death of Prophet. He was inventer of fabrications such as One Wahi is in Quran and other is out side the Quran in forged Sunna and forged Hadiths. He just fabricated this lie and preached this lie to blindly following Muslims with the full support of Pro-Persian and Pro-Zoroastrian GOV of Abbasid Caliphs.
Joseph Schacht was a British-German professor of Arabic and Islam at Columbia University in New York. He was the leading Western scholar on Islamic law. He writes:
“There is ano any evidence of legal traditions(hadith & suna) before Year 722AD in Islam & we can conclude that the Sunna or hadiths of the Prophet is not the words and deeds of the Prophet, but apocryphal material dating from later”
Fazlur Rahman, who was the Harold H. Swift Distinguished Service Professor of Islamic Thought at the University of Chicago wrote in his book Islam (1966) on the historic study of the Hadith. Summarising I. Goldziher’s scientific study of the Hadith, he writes:
But his argument runs, since the corpus of the Hadith continued to swell in each succeeding generation, and since in each generation the material runs parallel to and reflects various and often contradictory doctrines of Muslim theological and legal schools, the final recorded product of the Hadith, which date from the 3rd/ 9th century [over 250 years after the death of the prophet], must be regarded as being on the whole unreliable as a source for the prophets own teaching and conduct (1979:44)
Professor Schacht, who according to Fazlur Rahman is the first scholar to have undertaken a, “extensive and systematic comparison of legal traditions in their historical sequence, is unassailably scientific and sound in method&127;(1979:47-48), did not believe that the Hadith or the concept of “Sunna of the Prophet” were part of first century Islam. Shafi [150-204/767-819] introduced them, at the earliest, nearly two hundred years after the death of the prophet. The Koran states exactly the same. The Koran was the only “Hadith” that was conveyed by the prophet and formed the guidance for the early Muslim community.
The lie of Science of Hadiths and Lie of Chains of Narrations:
Hadith believing Muslims make big claims on the so-called scientific compilation of Hadith. Let it be clear however, that no matter how scientific you are in your compilation of what is “false” to start with, the compilation cannot make it true. Even the criteria that is presented are un-objective, i.e. the truthfulness of a particular narrator with a story of how truthful he was. To repeat, falsehood is not converted to truth by its scientific compilation.
The scientific method demands that “subjective” proof i.e. how truthful a person was be ignored and the item tested on objective criteria. What does the content say?
To sum up:
Whole Islamic law is contained ONLY IN QURAN.
All what is not given in complete and fully detailed Quran is NOT PART OF ISLAM.
Any ritual [like 5 daily rituals Namaz of Persian Zoroastrians], rite or sharia laws that has no roots in Quran, is foreign material that was blended in Islam during 508 years during Pro-Persian Pro-Zoroastrian Abbasid Caliphs from 750-1258 AD,
Do you believe in what Allah says? Quranic Verse 5:44 declares those persons “KAAFIRS” who make sharia Laws from other Books than Noble Quran. [So no any Sharia law is valid but from Quran].
Obeying the messenger is in upholding Quran, the whole Quran, and nothing but Quran.
