'Hadithers' try to misinterpret the Quraan to uphold Hadith

[Zainab_M]

 


"And whatsoever the messenger giveth you, take it. And whatsoever he forbiddeth, abstain (from it)." (59:7)

Since the Hadithers blindly accept the Hadith narrtions as the words of the Prophet (pbuh) and as an uncontditional gesture of loyalty to Bukhari and associates, they constantly use the above verse to support their claim that whatever the Prophet forbids "we Muslims must abstain from it."  Verse 59:7 is quite a lengthy verse.  These Hadithers purposely pick the last words of this beautiful verse as given above, and hide the preceding lines.  The complete verse 59:7 is as follows:

"That which Allah giveth as spoil unto His messenger from the people of the townships, it is for Allah and His messenger and for the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, that it become not a commodity between the rich among you. And whatsoever the messenger giveth you, take it. And whatsoever he forbiddeth, abstain (from it). And keep your duty to Allah. Lo! Allah is stern in reprisal." (59:7)  

As brother Hafeez Kazi has very well explained the historical background of the above verse, it becomes clear to what extent the Hadith adherents try to decieve people by misinterpreting the Quraan in favour of Hadith.  I quote br. Kazi:  "Verse 59:7 is speaking of the property being abandoned by the Jews of the tribes of Banu Nadhir without war. Allah wanted to distribute this booty to everyone to avoid being used as a fortune by the rich and so He commanded the prophet for distribution among the poor, orphans wayfarer and commanded the believers to accept whatever he gives them and deny whatever he withholds from them."

It should be made very clear that for a correct understanding of most verses of the Noble Quraan, it's essential to also do some reading of the preceding and following verses of the one on focus.
