With-Love-to-Muhammad

َْ290 With Love to Muhammad sa the Khātam-un-NabiyyīnIt is simply ridiculous to see Farhan Khan’s extraordinary biasagainst the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamā‘at. The above ahādīth arerecorded right next to the hadīth under discussion, but FarhanKhan deliberately chose to not mention them.
