Callers to evil<br />
Like all dangerous innovations <strong>and</strong> deviations from <strong>the</strong> Deen, <strong>the</strong><br />
Fitna <strong>of</strong> hadeeth-rejection comes in a guise that appeals to <strong>the</strong><br />
people's reverence for Allah's Deen. Some hadeeth-rejecters claim to<br />
be defenders <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Prophet's honor when <strong>the</strong>y reject au<strong>the</strong>ntic<br />
hadeeth from Saheeh al-Bukharee that mentions <strong>the</strong> age <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Prophet's wife Aaisha at <strong>the</strong> time <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> consummation <strong>of</strong> her<br />
marriage or <strong>the</strong> <strong>Hadeeth</strong> about Allah's Messenger being harmed by<br />
magic. They consider <strong>the</strong>se Ahadeeth unacceptable <strong>and</strong> a cause for<br />
<strong>Islam</strong>'s critics to attack <strong>the</strong> Messenger!<br />
Their solution is to cast doubts on <strong>the</strong> very process <strong>of</strong><br />
transmission <strong>and</strong> verification <strong>of</strong> hadeeth <strong>and</strong> deprive <strong>the</strong> Muslims<br />
from <strong>the</strong> entire treasure <strong>of</strong> knowledge inherited from <strong>the</strong> Prophet �.<br />
Their call takes strength from <strong>the</strong> general ignorance with<br />
regards to <strong>the</strong> process by which Ahadeeth are verified as au<strong>the</strong>ntic or<br />
inau<strong>the</strong>ntic.<br />
as<br />
The irony <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> matter is that <strong>the</strong> hadeeth-<br />
rejecters wish to defend <strong>the</strong> Prophet's honor by rendering<br />
meaningless his � status as an example, a teacher <strong>and</strong><br />
explainer <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Qur'aan.<br />
