Why did Anas and Qatada slander our beloved Prophet (S)?

[Zainab_M]

As-salaam Alaikum to all readers. 

I am sure all of you are aware of the shenanigans of the master liar and ring leader who takes the lead in distorting Islam, Abu Hurairah.

Unfortunately, he is not alone in this despicable mischief of defaming, slandering and mocking our most beloved Prophet (SAAW).  There are several hoodlums like Abu Huraira in the garb of  "Sahabahs" who are dishonoring the name of our great Prophet (SAAW) by writing lies about his personal life and also mocking the Prophet's wives.  Among them are Anas bin Malik and Abu Qatada whose dupery we will expose here. 

I have been getting email forwards periodially from a Hadith follower's blog.  Tonight I got an interesting one which I'll discuss.  The blog writer was very upset.  He mentioned that the Christian hardliners were misinterpreting a Hadith written by Anas bin Malik to slander the Prophet. 

The following is the false and cheap Hadith narrated by Anas bin Malik which the Christians are using as an ammunition to attack the Prophet (SAAW). 

No.1
Bukhari ::Volume 7 :: Book 62 :: Hadith 6 - Narrated by Anas bin Malik
The Prophet used to visit all his wives in one night, and he had nine wives.”
 
The bloody-minded hardline Christians further distorted the above lie as follows:

No.2
(changed by the Christians)
Bukhari (62:6) – “The Prophet used to go round (have sexual relations with) all his wives in one night, and he had nine wives.”

The blog writer who forwarded this information to me, is a staunch lover of Hadith.  He was indeed very upset at manipulation by the Christians.  Therefore, he volunteered to defend Anas bin Malik by interpreting his Hadith.  The blog writer stated that in the above Hadith No.1, Anas did not mean that the Prophet visited all his wives in one night for the purpose of sexual intercourse as manipulated by the Christians.  But, as a caring husband, the Prophet (SAAW) visited his wives only to meet them and check if they were all doing well, and he (SAAW) spent the night only with that wife whose turn it was to be with the Prophet.  Most Hadith followers have used this interpretation to correct the manipulation by the Christian slanderers.  They have also used another Hadith to confirm their corrected interpretation.  That Hadith is narrated by Urwa, who was well-known to have been suffering from dementia and had to struggle to recall even the recent events.  The following is Urwa's concoction using the name of Aisha, the purpose of this Hadith being to defend Anas bin Malik's rude and false slander of the Prophet (SAAW).

No.3
Urwa reported on the authority of his father:  Sunan Abu Dawud Book # 12, Chapter # 37, Hadith # 2135 -- Aisha said: “O my nephew, the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) did not prefer one of us to other in respect of his division of time of his staying with us. It was very rare that he did not visit any of us any day. He would come near each of his wives without having any intercourse with her until he reached the one who had her day (i.e. her turn) and passed his night with her….”

What's going on above is an attack on the Prophet (SAAW) between two parties of liars - Anas and the Christians, and the Hadith loyalist blog writer is trying to clarify Anas' position by telling us that Anas did not refer to sexual intercourse in his Hadith No.1 as quoted above, but the Christians added that by manipulating it as quoted above in Hadith No.2.   And Urwa's Hadith No.2 is presented as an evidence to defend Anas.   The blog writer's trust on the Hadith narrators is so strong that no once has he suspected foul play from them despite narrating such filth.

First of all, let's truthfully and realistically examine the false story of the Hadiths quoted above.  The Prophet (SAAW) NEVER went around meeting nor spending the night with all his wives in "one night."  Instead, he simply distributed his time between them as best as he could throughout the day and night.  There was no hard & fast rule that the Prophet (SAAW) must meet all his wives every single night.   Also, let's not forget, the Prophet (SAAW) as the leader of the first Muslim State, was an incredibly busy man who hardly got the time to eat his meals.  This is an established fact. Then again, as per the dictates of the Noble Quran, Tahajjud salaat (middle of the night prayer) was obligatory for the Prophet (SAAW).  Under such circumstances history has plainly stated many times that the Prophet (SAAW) had very little time even to relax and get over his daily fatigue, let alone meeting or spending every night with all his wives.   Thus, both Anas bin Malik and the Christians are a bunch of reprehensible and mean spirited gossip-mongers spreading total falsehood.

Secondly, let's ask ourselves, is there any big difference between Hadith No.1 and 2 quoted above?  In other words, did Anas bin Malik narrate Hadith No.1 with clean intentions in which he really did not mean sexual intercourse as claimed by his defenders, the blog writer and all such Hadith lovers?   Even if we discard Hadith No.2, after reading Hadith No.1, can we infer that Anas bin Malik was a goodie goodie guy who did not have vulgar ideas in his mind to mock the Prophet (SAAW)?   The faithful Hadith lovers will deny that Anas was referring to vulgarity to demean the Prophet.  But on further research, we find yet another Hadith in which a friend of Anas inadvertently exposed his evil intent and that Anas was definitely referring to vulgarity.   That friend of Anas bin Malik is Abu Qatada, liar number 3, who has also narrated a lot of blasphemous Ahadith.  The following is the falsehood of Abu Qatada which is more detailed than that of Anas.

No.4
Bukhari - Volume 1, Book 5, Number 268: Narrated Qatada:
'Anas bin Malik said, "The Prophet used to visit all his wives in a round, during the day and night and they were eleven in number." I asked Anas, "Had the Prophet the strength for it?" Anas replied, "We used to say that the Prophet was given the strength of thirty (men)." And Sa'id said on the authority of Qatada that Anas had told him about nine wives only (not eleven).'

Thus, Qatada has unknowingly provided evidence that the evil intention of Anas referred to sexual intercourse for the purpose of discrediting the Prophet (SAAW) and making fun of him.   This Hadith of Qatada also refutes Urwa's Hadith quoted above, and thus, the attempt of the Hadith loving blog writer to defend Anas has also failed. 
 
This is what we call the Hadith drama - lie upon lie upon lie upon lie.
 
-  The first lie is by Anas bin Malik in Hadith No.1, in which he cleverly slanders the Prophet (SAAW) by half disclosing himself.

-  The second lie is by the Christian bigots adding the extra words in brackets of Hadith No.2, through which they expressed the falsehood which Anas wanted to narrate but felt a little shy and nervous. 

-  The third lie is by Urwa in Hadith No.3, which Sunnan Abu Dawud thought it necessary to compile, for the purpose of defending the rude narration of Anas bin Malik compiled by Bukhari. 

-  And the fourth lie is by Abu Qatada in Hadith No.4 and his desire to join hands with his friend, Anas bin Malik, by elaborating Anas' falsehood and getting the full satisfaction of maligning and mocking the Prophet (SAAW). 


May the curse of Allah be on the Hadith cheats.

The most abominable violation is the slanderous attitude of the Hadith narrators on which the non-Muslims are taking advantage.   Slander is an enormous sin in the Sight of Allah.  Slandering anyone is bad.  To slander the Prophet who is the chosen person of Allah is a transgression for which it will be difficult for these slanderers to find the mercy of Allah on the Day of Judgment. 

[N. Truth Seeker]

Yes, I've read this hadith.  It's more than just disgraceful on the part of these loafers who have grabbed the title of "sahaba" to write such tattle tail gossips about the Messenger of Allah.  The falsehood of Hadith can be divided into 2 basic sections - (1) those ahadith that narrate false laws & rules and (2) those ahadith that spread lies through backbiting & slandering.  Slandering a person is an enormous sin in the Sight of Allah.  The plight of slanderers will be a very painful doom in the Hereafter unless they quickly & sincerly repent (do taubah).

To know how much Allah dislikes the habit of slandering and gossiping, I request all our readers to please check Verses 11 to 25 of Surah An-Nur in which Allah Almighty reprimands the slanderers of Aisha (ra). That’s because Allah does not want believers to lie and gossip about each other like the Hadith narrators do.


Verses 24:11-25 of the Noble Quran, on the sin of slanderers

"Lo! they who spread the slander are a gang among you. Deem it not a bad thing for you; nay, it is good for you. Unto every man of them (will be paid) that which he hath earned of the sin; and as for him among them who had the greater share therein, his will be an awful doom.

Why did not the believers, men and women, when ye heard it, think good of their own own folk, and say: It is a manifest untruth ?

Why did they not produce four witnesses ? Since they produce not witnesses, they verily are liars in the sight of Allah.

Had it not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy unto you in the world and the Hereafter an awful doom had overtaken you for that whereof ye murmured.

When ye welcomed it with your tongues, and uttered with your mouths that whereof ye had no knowledge, ye counted it a trifle. In the sight of Allah it is very great.

Wherefor, when ye heard it, said ye not: It is not for us to speak of this. Glory be to Thee (O Allah)! This is awful calumny.

Allah admonisheth you that ye repeat not the like thereof ever, if ye are (in truth) believers.

And He expoundeth unto you the revelations. Allah is Knower, Wise.

Lo! those who love that slander should be spread concerning those who believe, theirs will be a painful punishment in the world and the Hereafter. Allah knoweth. Ye know not.

Had it not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy unto you, and that Allah is Clement, Merciful, (ye had been undone).

O ye who believe! Follow not the footsteps of the devil. Unto whomsoever followeth the footsteps of the devil, lo! he commandeth filthiness and wrong. Had it not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy unto you, not one of you would ever have grown pure. But Allah causeth whom He will to grow. And Allah is Hearer, Knower.

And let not those who possess dignity and ease among you swear not to give to the near of kin and to the needy, and to fugitives for the cause of Allah. Let them forgive and show indulgence. Yearn ye not that Allah may forgive you ? Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

Lo! as for those who traduce virtuous, believing women (who are) careless, cursed are they in the world and the Hereafter. Theirs will be an awful doom

On the day when their tongues and their hands and their feet testify against them as to what they used to do,

On that day Allah will pay them their just due, and they will know that Allah, He is the Manifest Truth."

Taubah, taubah!  may the curse of Allah be on the damned Hadith institution.  Thank u for this perfect analysis, my sister, and how well you have exposed these lying criminals, one after the other - from Anas to the christian hardliners and this includes the christian missionaries as well - all bloddy lowly and uneducated thieves!

Sister Zeynab, you should have invited that blog writer here for a debate for his being such an earnest advocate of Anas bin Malik.   

[Heba E. Husseyn]

This is a serious matter.  Hadith narrators are reserving their places in the worst portions of Hellfire by such lies and interfering with the Prophet’s (S) personal life. The beloved Prophet (SAW) and his wives were entitled to their own privacy.   We are supposed to love our Prophet even more than we love our parents.  Would any of us talk this way by discussing the conjugal relations of our parents?  Surely not.  Then why do the Hadith narrators and compilers treasure such fictional garbage about our beloved Prophet? 

Furthermore, the most important point is, the Prophet had the right to spend as much time with his wives as he wanted and whenever he wanted.  They were his wives, not girlfriends or mistresses.  But these Satanic Hadith narrators have NO right to make false stories out of the Prophet's private life and circulate it in public.  Their hunger & thirst for falsehood and gossips will only help them in getting themselves charred in the depth of Jahanum.

Allah also says in the Quran to the sahabahs (I think in Surah Al-Ahzab) that if they are invited to the Prophet's home for a meal, they should leave after their meal is over and not linger around for unnecessary conversation.  That's because these sahabahs were very formal friends of the Prophet and if they stayed around too long in the Prophet's small home, it would affect the Prophet's privacy.   The Prophet (S) was a very, very modest and private person.  He never even discussed his very basic household issues with his closest friends.  And yet these vagabonds like Anas, Hurairah, Qatada etc. talk as if they were the Prophet's (S) buddy pals.  AstaghfarAllah! 
 
Abu Hurairah, Abu Qatada, Anas bin Malik etc. are in for a very tough time in the Hereafter, InshAllah, ameen.

Anas' name should be changed from 'Anas' to anus.

[N. Truth Seeker]

Absolutely correct sister Heba.  The most important point here is that the Prophet was fully entitled to visit his wives whenever or however many times he wanted, though we know very well that the Prophet (saw) had a very hectic public life and very heavy responsibilities because of the Divine Mission, therefore he (saw) had very little time to devote to his wives and other family members even though he loved his entire household dearly. 

And yes, that order from Allah to the acquaintances of the Prophet is in Surah Al-Ahzab verse 53.

"O Ye who believe! Enter not the dwellings of the Prophet for a meal without waiting for the proper time, unless permission be granted you. But if ye are invited, enter, and, when your meal is ended, then disperse. Linger not for conversation. Lo! that would cause annoyance to the Prophet, and he would be shy of (asking) you (to go); but Allah is not shy of the truth. And when ye ask of them (the wives of the Prophet) anything, ask it of them from behind a curtain. That is purer for your hearts and for their hearts. And it is not for you to cause annoyance to the messenger of Allah, nor that ye should ever marry his wives after him. Lo! that in Allah's sight would be an enormity."  33:53

Alhumdulilah.  In the above Verse, Allah has clearly indicated by frankly telling the contemporaries of the Prophet (saw) which basically included the Prophet's formal acquaintances that they shouldn't barge into the Prophet's home for a meal (and I'm sure this would also include a visit without a meal) without first informing him that they would like to come over at a certain suitable time.  And then, if the Prophet accepted their request to visit him at a proper time, then these sahabahs could visit the Prophet's home but they must keep their visits brief and thus depart soon after the meal was over and not hover around to chat.  They were not supposed to be (and indeed they were not) on such buddy-like terms with the Prophet (saw) to discuss with which wife he would be staying at night or daytime.  That's totally absurd.   For such formal acquaintances to know how many hours the Prophet spent with whom is out of the question, impossible and an illogical lie.

The second part of this verse underscores the formal nature with which these outsiders were ordered to converse with the Prophet's wives, if necessary.  It explains to the affect that if they had to deliver a message at the Prophet's home and the Prophet wasn't there and they decided to deliver the message to one of the Prophet's wives, they must not meet his (saw) wives face to face.  But they must talk from behind a curtain or partition.   

Hence, everyone can see for themselves how strictly formal Allah commanded the sahabahs to be with the Prophet (saw) and his wives.  Considering this, would the Prophet (saw) or any of his wives ever talk to these formal outsiders about their private life?  Never. So, how did these damned Anas and Qatada get such news?  Would Abu Bakr, Umar, Usman, Ali or Fatima Zahra ever talk such things with the sahabahs?  Again that's impossible and unthinkable.  Anas and Qatada aren't just gossipy liars but very foolish ones.

Very well elaborated sister Heba and br. TS.  No wonder the Hadith 'attorneys' are so afraid to come here for a debate     and a few who did, had no other choice but to slip out through the back door sooner rather than later. 

Hurairah/Qatada/'Anus'/Bukhari Inc. will, InshAllah, be in for a very tough time in the Hereafter.

Btw, I like Anas' nickname 

[Zainab_M]

Many thanks for all your very informative and interesting replies.  And yes, sister Rose, I did invite that Anas advocate here for further discussion. Our forum link is there on his blog.  But he won't for the reason you quite rightly stated.  I put a detailed comment in his blog after receiving this forward, in which I candidly mentioned that my years of research has clearly proven the Hadith institution to be a completely phoney one.  I also quoted the false hadith of Qatada which made the blog writer's defence for Anas discrepant. I mentioned plainly that Truth is ONLY the Quran and the ONLY Guide which the Prophet (SAAW) followed, and Hadith is simply a cunningly cut-out propaganda with a marvellous collection of lies against the Prophet (SAAW).  The Hadithist blog writer did publish my post but never commented on it.  There were also few other new comments but none of them replied to my comment.  They blamed the kufaar christians which we all do.  But they left their blame incomplete by conveniently ignoring the other culprits, Anas and Qatada.
