Fazail-e-amal. if u read same hadith on same pg in arabic u will find a word MAWDU' which we know means fabricated. The same is not translated into english or Urdu. That is a clear lie on the Prophet

1. We definitely agree with the literal translation but the object of the%0D%0Aauthor was not to mention fabricated Ahaadith only. In fact, he mentions%0D%0AAhaadith that some Ulama claim to be fabricated and then challenges that%0D%0Aruling. In some instances, he concedes to the verdict of those Ulama and in%0D%0Aothers he differs and proves the authenticity of these Ahaadith. The proverb%0D%0Ais famous, 'Don't judge a book by it's cover!'%0D%0A2. There is a vast contrast between 'manifestation of unseen things' and to%0D%0Ahave knowledge of the unseen. As mentioned, knowledge of the unseen is only%0D%0Apossessed by Allah Ta'ala. This is a fundamental belief of every Muslim and%0D%0Acannot be contested, however, the manifestation of unseen things is%0D%0Adifferent and has taken place time and again from the time of the Sahaaba%0D%0A(Radhiallaahu Anhum) to our day. The angels of Allah are unseen to man,%0D%0Aalthough we believe in their existence. Similarly, we believe that the%0D%0Apunishment of the grave is true but it is unseen to us. However, the%0D%0Amanifestation of these things were granted to some Sahaaba (Radhiallaahu%0D%0AAnhum), i.e. visibility of the angels for Sayyidatuna Aaisha (Radhiallaahu%0D%0AAnha), Sayyidunaa ibn Abbaas (Radhiallaahu Anhu) and others. The punishment%0D%0Aof the grave was heard and manifested for others. See Hayaatus sahaaba vol.3%0D%0Apgs.777, 841%0D%0AIn the same manner, the washing off of the sins in Wudhu is something we%0D%0Abelieve in because of the Hadith of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam)%0D%0Aalthough it is part of the unseen. However, it being part of the unseen does%0D%0Anot negate the possibility of it's manifestation by Allah for anyone of His%0D%0Achosen servants as is the case in the above mentioned examples. The%0D%0Aincidents of Sayyiduna Umar (Radhiallaahu Anhu) is quite wellknown - when%0D%0Aonce while he was in Madinah and his army was in battle in a land away from%0D%0AMadina, Allah made it possible for him to see his army's position in the%0D%0Abattlefields and he was able to command them from his Minbar in Madinah to%0D%0Achange their position. (See Dalaailun nubuwwa of Abu Nu'aim and Hayaatus%0D%0ASahaaba vol.3 pg.808)%0D%0AIn this instance, Allah manifested for Sayyiduna Umar (Radhiallaahu Anhu)%0D%0Awhat remained unseen to the rest of these that were present in that%0D%0Agathering. So, acts of Kashf have taken place many a time and it's%0D%0Arefutation is a clear result of ignorance.%0D%0A3. Firstly, just be the word 'Mawdhoo' being written in the Arabic%0D%0Acommentary does not necessitate that the actual Hadith that was quoted is%0D%0Afabricated. In fact, the author Shaykh Muhammad Zakariyyah cited that ruling%0D%0A(Mawdhoo) in general, in regard to another narration not in regard to Hadith%0D%0Ano.28. Anyone with slight knowledge of the Arabic language will understand%0D%0Athis from that passage. Secondly, based on this misunderstanding for one to%0D%0Ago further and comment on that particular Hadith (no.28) being 'a clear lie%0D%0Aon the Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam)' is baseless and senseless as%0D%0Awell. In fact, that Hadith is Hasan (sound), neither weak nor fabricated.%0D%0ASee Ra'ul Manaarah pg.248 and al-Raddul muhkamul mateen pg.138. May Allah Ta%0D%0A'ala save us all from such irrational decision regarding the noble sayings%0D%0Aof Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam).%0D%0A%0D%0Aand Allah Ta'ala Knows Best%0D%0A%0D%0AMoulana Muhammad ibn Moulana Haroon Abbassommar%0D%0AFACULTY OF SPECIALTY IN HADITH%0D%0A%0D%0ACHECKED AND APPROVED CORRECT: Mufti Ebrahim Desai%0D%0A
