Doubt 2: No Effort was put into preserving Hadeeth<br />

Parwez wrote with regards to <strong>the</strong> preservation <strong>of</strong> Hadeeth,<br />

"…Though <strong>the</strong> mind questions, if hadeeth is all that<br />

significant, why <strong>the</strong> Messenger did not take <strong>the</strong> same<br />

measures as he did in <strong>the</strong> case <strong>of</strong> Holy Qur'aan?<br />

On <strong>the</strong> contrary, we find in that very hadeeth,<br />

Muhammad r clearly says, "Do not have anything else<br />

dictated from me, save <strong>the</strong> Qur'aan. If anyone <strong>of</strong> you has<br />

written any word o<strong>the</strong>r than <strong>the</strong> Qur'aan, erase it!"<br />

[Muqaam-e-Hadith Chp. 1]<br />

Response:<br />

1. We have seen earlier that Allah's Messenger r encouraged <strong>the</strong><br />

memorization <strong>and</strong> transmission <strong>of</strong> Hadeeth.<br />

2. The forbiddance to write anything o<strong>the</strong>r than <strong>the</strong> Qur'aan was a<br />

temporary order <strong>and</strong> a precaution against mixing <strong>the</strong> Qur'aan<br />

<strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> Hadeeth. O<strong>the</strong>rwise, Ahadeeth have been written in <strong>the</strong><br />

presence <strong>of</strong> Allah's Messenger r (<strong>the</strong> narrations have been<br />

mentioned earlier).<br />

3. It is ludicrous <strong>of</strong> Parwez to quote Hadeeth to prove that Hadeeth<br />

were not meant to be preserved!!<br />
