Authenticity ratings: Sayings (Arabic - Hadith) of the Messenger of Allah/GOD, Muhammad (PBUH)

The term hadith ( /ˈhædɪθ/^[1] or /hɑːˈdiːθ/^[2]) (plural: hadith, hadiths, or ahadith) is used to denote a saying or an act or tacit approval or criticism ascribed either validly or invalidly to the Islamic prophet Muhammad. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadith#cite_note-2

Authenticity ratings:

1. The most Authentic sayings of Messengers of Allah/GOD (PBUT) are found in the Qur’an.

In the Qur’an, any commandment of Allah/ GOD just after “Say” or “(Arabic) قل)” has to be considered as ‘the most Authentic’ Saying (hadith) of a Messenger of Allah/GOD (PBUT).

Examples Sayings (Hadith) of Messenger Muhammad (PBUH):

• "I have only been commanded to worship Allah and not associate [anything] with Him. To Him I invite, and to Him is my return." http://quran.com/13/36   

•  "O people, if you are in doubt as to my religion - then I do not worship those which you worship besides Allah ; but I worship Allah , who causes your death. And I have been commanded to be of the believers” http://quran.com/10/104

• "Do not worship except Allah . Indeed, I am to you from Him a warner and a bringer of good tidings," "Seek forgiveness of your Lord and repent to Him, [and] He will let you enjoy a good provision for a specified term and give every doer of favor his favor. But if you turn away, then indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a great Day. To Allah is your return, and He is over all things competent." http://quran.com/11/2-4

• "O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you - that we will not worship except Allah and not associate anything with Him and not take one another as lords instead of Allah ." But if they turn away, then say, "Bear witness that we are Muslims [submitting to Him]." http://quran.com/3/64

• "I have only been commanded to worship Allah and not associate [anything] with Him. To Him I invite, and to Him is my return." http://quran.com/13/36

2. The second most Authentic sayings are found in Original letters of the Messenger of Allah/GOD, Muhammad (PBUH).

Five letters had been identified by scientific evidence as originals, which also bear original seal of the Messenger of Allah/GOD, Muhammad (PBUH).

Examples:

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JB5R1a4bSUM

• http://www.google.mv/search?q=letter+of+the+prophet+muhammad+s.a.w&hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=s&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=AlgBT624Ku6aiAfPxZ2vDQ&ved=0CDQQsAQ&biw=1024&bih=575

• http://oldenhistory.blogspot.com/2010/02/letters-of-prophet-muhammad-pbuh.html 

 

3. IF the writings of Scribes that had been attributed to as a Saying (Arabic - Hadith) of the Messenger of Allah/GOD, Muhammad (PBUH) and regarded by the above two ratings; that too could be considered as the third most Authentic sayings.

Examples:

• The Prophet -- Allah bless and greet him -- said: "Whoever says: there is no god but Allah enters Paradise." Tabarani narrated it from Abu Dharr in the Kabir (7:55), Ibn Hibban in his Sahih (31), al-Hakim in his Mustadrak (4:251), al-Mundhiri in al-Targhib (2:422), al-Haythami in Majma` al-zawa'id (1:18), Ibn `Adi (7:2639), Abu Nu`aym in the Hilya (7:174), and al-Bazzar from `Umar. http://www.islamicacademy.org/html/Articles/English/LA%20ILAHA%20ILLALLAH.htm 

• Usama ibn Zayd killed an idolater in battle after the latter had said: "There is no god but Allah" (la ilaha illallah). When news of this reached Allah's Messenger he condemned Usama in the strongest terms and he said to him: "How can you kill him after he said La ilaha illallah?" He replied: "But he said it with the sword hanging over his head-" The Prophet -- Allah bless and greet him -- said again: "How can you kill him after he said La ilaha illallah?" He replied: "O Messenger of Allah, he said it in dissimulation (taqiyyatan)." The Prophet -- Allah bless and greet him -- said: "Did you split his heart open (to see)?" and he did not cease to reprove him until Usama wished that he had not entered Islam until after he had killed that man so that he might have been forgiven all his past sins through belief. Narrated by Bukhari, Muslim, Ahmad, Tayalisi, Abu Dawud, Nasa'i, al-`Adni, Abu `Awana, al-Tahawi, al-Hakim, and Bayhaqi. http://www.islamicacademy.org/html/Articles/English/LA%20ILAHA%20ILLALLAH.htm

• After the passing of the Prophet -- Allah bless and greet him -- from this world Abu Bakr said to the Companions: "I asked Allah's Messenger what basic thing was necessary for salvation and he replied that whoever accepts the Word which I brought and which I offered to my uncle Abu Talib and which he rejected: this Word constitutes salvation for him." . http://sunnah.org/aqida/forty_hadith_merits_tahlil.htm

• Concluding …

 So know, [O Muhammad], that there is no deity except Allah and ask forgiveness for your sin and for the believing men and believing women. And Allah knows of your movement and your resting place. http://quran.com/47/19

Bingo!

God/Allah is omnipresent & reachable … no matter where we are, no matter our spiritual/religious belief systems are!

An Indian medical doctor leading an early morning yoga exercise session, gave a brief insight into the benefits of ‘Chanting ‘Om’ or ‘Aum’’.

He said: “Even today, we do not fully understand the benefits of ‘Chanting ‘Om’ or ‘Aum’. However with modern knowledge, scientists have concluded that when ‘Chanting ‘Om’ or ‘Aum’ vital organs in our own body vibrates in a sequence.”

Well … I was there & I heard him say.

Later that day I wondered …

“7+ billion people living in this planet today, so separated in religious belief systems … how can each & every one of us contact our Creator to get guidance for our daily living? …

… Even without fully comprehending the benefits of ‘Chanting ‘Om’ or ‘Aum’ they (those who are practicing various Dharmic religions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aum) are getting benefit & guidance for their daily living! …

… And then I wondered … if they (those who are practicing various Dharmic religions) are getting benefit & guidance for their daily living, we (monotheistic religion practitioners) - especially my religion’s rituals (Muslim religious rituals and practices) has to have a way for ‘benefit & guidance for our daily living’ too, in the same way or more! …

… Instantaneously it occurred to me … if it has a way it has to be when we recite Surat-al Fathiha (the 1^st Chapter of Qur’an). Because it is the only part of Qur’an that is compulsory to read during the 5 daily Prayers! …

… I read … and … it does vibrate our vital organs in our own body in the same sequence … IF read properly (air, breath & letter sounds) … Bingo!

“Calling ‘Candy Candy’ won’t sweet your mouth!”

About 5 years ago, I was in the lobby of a clinic where many patients were ahead of the queue. As time passed I got attracted to some books & magazines on a table in the corner. Among them was a yearly collection of Al-Jumuah Magazine, UK http://www.aljumuah.com/. As I was flipping pages & reading … a particular quote pierced through my conscience. I still can’t comprehend how important that moment meant to me.

It read: “Calling ‘Candy Candy’ won’t sweet your mouth!” An Azarbaijani Proverb.
