Concerning the hadith:
"I am leaving amongst you TWO WEIGHTY THINGS"
"I am leaving amongst you TWO WEIGHTY THINGS"
Once again see http://sunnah.org/fiqh/usul/probativeness_sunna/default.htm
Part 12 on this hadith and its full documentation.
[see also same text here at Probativeness of Sunna ]
This hadeeth mentioning Ahlul Bayt and Quran as inseparable is very
significant
and has been narrated by 35 Sahaba and is given in the Sahihs of Ahlu
Sunnah and the many books of their scholars.
This is absolutely false, the hadith is NOT mutawatir nor narrated by
anywhere near even 10 Sahaba.
I would like to ask: Why do the preachers of Ahlu Sunnah promote the
weak hadeeth (mentioning Quran and Sunnah as the two weighty things) which
is narrated by only one source (in Muwata' of Malik, who hated Ali ibn
abi Talib and favoured his enemies - hence he did not list in his Muwata'
one hadeeth through Ali) and YET they ignore the mutawatir (extremely
prevalent) true hadeeth.
Four crass lies in one breath? One, the hadith in question is not weak (see
below). Two, there are anywhere between 10 and 15 narrations from ʿAli in
the Muwatta'. Three, the other hadith is not mutawatir as I already said.
Four, Imam Malik was so respectful of Ahl al-Bayt that he forgave the
governor of Madina who had him leashed and had his shoulder dislocated only
because that governor was from Ahl al-Bayt.
The hadith of the Thaqalayn being the Qur'an and the Sunna is narrated from
(1) Ibn ʿAbbas by al-Bayhaqi in al-Sunan al-Kubra (10:114 #20108) and - as
part of a longer hadith - by al-Hakim (1:93=1990 ed. 1:171) who declared it
sahih and - without chain - by Malik in his Muwatta' and Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr in
al-Tamhid (24:331) and from (2) Abu Hurayra by al-Hakim (1:93=1990 ed.
1:172), al-Bayhaqi in al-Sunan al-Kubra (10:114 #20109), al-Daraqutni in his
Sunan (4:245 #149), al-Lalika'i in Sharh Usul Iʿtiqad Ahl al-Sunna (1:80),
al-Khatib, al-Jamiʿ li Akhlaq al-Rawi (1983 ed. 1:111=1991 ed. 2:165-166
#89), Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr in al-Tamhid (24:331), and Ibn Hazm who declared it
sahih in al-Ihkam (6:243) while al-Suyuti declared it hasan in al-Jamiʿ
al-Saghir (#3923).
May Allah have mercy on the Ahl al-Bayt and clear them from any association
with corpse-eaters and other defamators on the Day of Judgment.
