In these days, the discussion revolves around the authority of the Sunnah among grammarians. They say that many of the narrators are non-Arabs, and they may make mistakes in the wording of the hadiths.

The questioner : In these days, the discussion revolves around the authority of the Sunnah among grammarians. They say: Many of the narrators of hadiths are non-Arabs, and it is possible that they transmit the reports in a manner other than how they were received. They say that the hadiths that came in the Sunnah are not authoritative as grammatical evidence. Is their statement correct?

The Shaykh : It is invalid. Ibn Aqil himself refutes this statement and argues for establishing language using authentic hadiths. This is because the duty of the narrators is to narrate the hadith as they heard it, as stated in the authentic hadith: to the end of the hadith. So, even if we assume they are non-Arabs—and peace and mercy of Allah be upon you—in the worst case, they would narrate the hadith by meaning. It is not permissible to narrate a hadith by meaning except for one who is knowledgeable about the text. This is first. Second: Those who say this are like someone who hears news that there are counterfeit coins among the gold coins, so he abandons using all of them because there are counterfeit ones among them! This is something that only a fool would do. If there are non-Arabs among the narrators, is that the majority? And does that mean that these people are ignorant? Muhammad ibn Isma'il al-Bukhari, the first of the six imams, is Bukhari. Does that mean we do not take from his hadiths?!
In truth: , and this is from the trials of the nationalists who fight Islam in various ways, including their denial of the legitimacy of the Sunnah and the obligation to follow it. Allah is the One to be sought for help.
