I believe that the h\u0323ad\u012bths<\/em> recorded in the Sah\u0323\u012bh\u0323<\/em> of Bukh\u0101ri and Sah\u0323\u012bh\u0323<\/em> of Muslim are conclusive. This means that there is only one possible stance regarding the disputed matters if seen in the light of the sound narratives ascribed to the Prophet (sws). If this is true then why do we plead to weak narratives and support counter opinions on an issue?<\/p>\n Your question implies two suppositions. Neither of them seems sound. Firstly, you claim that the narratives in Bukh\u0101r\u012b and Muslim are conclusively authentic. You also say that all the disputed matters in these two books reach the same conclusion. On the basis of these suppositions, your question seems totally untenable. The people who consider h\u0323ad\u012bth<\/em> a basic source of religion base their stance on a sound narrative as a general principle. Hadiths which are not directly traced back to the Prophet (sws) or whose chain of narrators is not reliable are usually summonsed to corroborate the view reached at in the light of the reliable sources. However, this rule is at times defied in practice. You would be right to object to this attitude. However, this is not the real issue. I suggest you should consult the chapter ‘us\u016bl wa mub\u0101d\u012b<\/em> from the book ‘M\u012bz\u0101n’<\/em> by Mr. Javed Ahmad Ghamidi in order to understand the related discussions. I hope you will be able to grasp the bottom-line of the issue. <\/p>\n Translated by: Abid Mahmood Hashmi<\/em><\/p>\n Answered by:<\/strong> Talib Mohsin<\/p>\n Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-26<\/p>\nAnswer<\/h3>\n
