A question by which the mind can know the invalidity of a fabricated hadith
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If a contradiction is found between the mind and the hadith, he says that this is a cause for weakening the hadith...
The Shaykh : No, that is not correct. In a matter that contradicts sound reason, and whose cause is the weakening of the hadith, such as the one who narrated that the ship of Noah (peace be upon him) came to Makkah and circumambulated the House, al-Safa, and al-Marwah. This is a hadith narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Do we believe this? Yes? We do not believe this; we do not accept it.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Yes, what?
The questioner : I mean, the narrator of this hadith was not... they called her
The Shaykh : I mean, that she was of sound mind. In any case, these things certainly do not enter into the realm of reason; we cannot accept them. There are things that are correct, but a person thinks they contradict reason; that is the one whose mind is afflicted. Yes.
The questioner : And he mentions... that which his mind has not touched
The Shaykh : Yes, there is no contradicting reason in this matter at all.
The Shaykh : No, that is not correct. In a matter that contradicts sound reason, and whose cause is the weakening of the hadith, such as the one who narrated that the ship of Noah (peace be upon him) came to Makkah and circumambulated the House, al-Safa, and al-Marwah. This is a hadith narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Do we believe this? Yes? We do not believe this; we do not accept it.
