“Gabriel fed me some hareesah from paradise to strengthen my back formidnight prayers.” 76Ibn Muhammad and Aboo Haatim labeled him a liar and Ibn <strong>al</strong>-Jawzee said:“This hadeeth is a fabrication of Muhammad ibn <strong>al</strong>-Hajjaaj who used to sellhareesah. Most of its chain center around him and other liars stole it from him.”8. Wise Sayings Turned into <strong>Hadith</strong> 77 :Some reporters have tried to credit to the Prophet (r) different parables andsayings of wisdom. For example the following saying is known to be that ofHaarith ibn K<strong>al</strong>dah, a well-known doctor among the Arabs: “The abdomen is thehouse of disease and prevention is the head of remedies.” But it was wronglyattributed to the Prophet (r). 78 Other examples are the popular sayings: “Seekknowledge even on to China,” and “Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave.”حدث َنا حيوة ُ بن شري حٍ‏ حدث َنا بقِية ُ عن أ َبِي بك ْرِ‏ بنِ‏ أ َبِي مريم عن خالِدِ‏ بنِ‏ محمدٍ‏ الث َّق َفِي عنبِ‏ لالِ‏ بنِ‏ أ َبِي الدردا ءِ‏ عن أ َبِي الدردا ءِ‏ عن النبِي صل َّى الل َّه عل َيهِ‏ وسل َّم ق َال َ ((ويصِمحبك الشي ءَ‏ يع مِيHaywah ibn Shurayh informed us [saying that] Baqiyyah informed us from AbooBakr ibn Abee Maryam from Kha<strong>al</strong>id ibn Muhammad ath-Thaqafee from Bila<strong>al</strong>ibn Abid-Dardaa from Abud-Dardaa from the Prophet (r) that he said: “Yourlove of something blinds and deafens.” 79Its chain is weak due to Aboo Bakr ibn Abee Maryam who had a poor memoryand his narrations were confused..((Forged Hadeeths in TafseerMany Qur’aanic commentators used forged traditions in their commentarieswithout explaining their status. The fabricated hadeeths attributed to Ubay ibnKa‘b on the excellence of the chapters of the Qur’aan were among the mostpopular. They can be found in the Tafseers of ath-Tha‘labee, <strong>al</strong>-Waahidee, az-76 Ibid., no. 690.77 Criticism of <strong>Hadith</strong>, pp. 35-43.78 Lamahaat fee <strong>Usool</strong> <strong>al</strong>-Hadeeth, p. 305.79 Tareekh <strong>al</strong>-Kabeer, vol. 2, p. 1, no. 175 and in Sunan Abu Dawud,. as well as Musnad Ahmad,vol. 5, p. 194 and vol. 6, p. 650.
