Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah. As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
Praise be to Allaah; we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.
1.0 Introduction
1.0 Introduction
A sister asked me a question on fabricated hadith. She asked if ‘’ whenever one performs a lot of Hajj and Umrah, he or she is protected from poverty?’’.
Let us briefly establish and address Hadiths classification with special reference to Maudu` and Fabricated Hadiths: according to the reliability and memory of reporters.
Mustalah books speak of a number of classes of hadith in accordance with their status. The following broad classifications were made:
a) Ahadith are called Marfu` (elevated), Mauquf (stopped) and Maqtu` (severed)
b) If the chain of reporters is interrupted or uninterrupted, e.g. Musnad (supported), Muttasil (continuous), Munqati (broken), Mu`allaq (hanging), Mu`dal (perplexing) and Mursal (hurried).
c) Mutawatir (consecutive) and ahad (isolated), the latter being divided into Gharib (scarce, strange), `Aziz (rare, strong), and Mash'hur (famous).
d) Hadith category falls under Mudallas (concealed) and Musalsal (uniformly-linked).
e) An addition by a reliable reporter is known as ziyadatu thiqah, or opposition by a lesser authority to a more reliable one, known as Shadhdh (irregular): Such a hadith is known as Munkar (denounced) or declared as Mudraj (interpolated).
f) A hadith Mu`allal (defective hadith); caused in many ways; e.g. two types of hadith Mu`allal are known as Maqlub (overturned) and Mudtarib (shaky).
The final verdict on a hadith, i.e. Sahih (sound), Hasan (good), Da`if (weak) or Maudu` (fabricated, forged), depends critically on this factor.
Fellow brothers and sisters (Muslims)! Fear Allah as He should be feared and keep your duty to Him.
2.0 Attributing Incorrect/Unsound Statements To The Prophet (SAW)
Statements are attributed to the Prophet (SAW) although the person quoting them may have no idea what the people of knowledge of Hadith have ruled regarding those ahadith, thus ironically being in danger of contravening the Prophet's widely-narrated stern warnings about attributing incorrect/unsound statements to him. For example, here are some very commonly-quoted ahadith[1], which actually vary tremendously in their degree of authenticity from the Prophet (SAW):
- Allah says,"I was a hidden treasure, and I wished to be known, so I created a creation (mankind), then made Myself known to them, and they recognised Me[2]." (neither Sahih or Daif)
- Allah says,"Were it not for you (O Muhammad), I would not have created the universe[3]." (Maudu)
- Allah says, "Neither My heaven nor My earth can contain Me, but the heart of My believing slave can contain Me[4]." (Marfu)
- "He who knows himself, knows his Lord[5]." (Marfu or Maudu)
- "Love of one's homeland is part of Faith[6]." (Maudu)
- "I am the City of Knowledge, and `Ali is its Gate[7]."(Gharib/Munkar, Maudu, Mudtarib))
- "My companions are like the stars: whichever of them you follow, you will be guided[8]." (Daif or Maudu)
- "The differing amongst my Ummah is a mercy[9]." (Sahih or Daif or Maudu)
- "Paradise is under the feet of mothers[10]." (Daif)
- "Seeking knowledge is a duty upon every Muslim[11]." (Sahih/Hasan/Daif)
- "Seek knowledge, even if you have to go to China[12]." (Maudu)
- "The ink of the scholar is holier than the blood of the martyr[13]." (Maudu)
- "We have returned from the lesser Jihad to the greater Jihad (i.e. the struggle against the evil of one's soul)[14]." (Marfu/Daif)
The scholars of hadith agree that a Da`if or Maudu` hadith must not be attributed to the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), e.g. by saying, "The Prophet said: ...", even if the meaning is considered to be correct or if it is actually the saying of a Muslim scholar, for that would be a way of lying about the Prophet (SAW).
Mustalah al-Hadith (Classification of Hadith)[15]: Among the early traditionists, mostly of the first two centuries, ahadith were classified into two categories only: Sahih and Da`if; al-Tirmidhi was to be the first to distinguish Hasan from Da`if. This is why traditionists and jurists such as Ahmad, who seemed to argue on the basis of Da`if ahadith sometimes, were in fact basing their argument on the ahadith which were later to be known as Hasan[16]
3.0 Maudu` and Fabricated Hadiths[17]
‘’Al-Dhahabi defines Maudu` (fabricated, forged) as the term applied to a hadith, the text of which goes against the established norms of the Prophet's sayings (SAW), or its reporters include a liar, e.g. the forty ahadith known as Wad'aniyyah or the small collection of ahadith which was fabricated and claimed to have been reported by `Ali al-Rida, the eighth Imam of the Ithna 'Ashari Shi'ah[18].
Maudu` ahadith are also recognised by external evidence related to a discrepancy found in the dates or times of a particular incident[19]. For example, when the second caliph, `Umar b. al-Khattab decided to expel the Jews from Khaibar, some Jewish dignitaries brought a document to `Umar apparently proving that the Prophet (SAW) had intended that they stay there by exempting them from the jizyah (tax on non-Muslims under the rule of Muslims); the document carried the witness of two Companions, Sa'd b. Mu`adh and Mu'awiyah b. Abi Sufyan. `Umar rejected the document outright, knowing that it was fabricated because the conquest of Khaibar took place in 6 AH, whereas Sa'd b. Mu`adh died in 3 AH just after the Battle of the Trench, and Mu'awiyah embraced Islam in 8 AH, after the conquest of Makkah[20]!
The author, in his Criticism of Hadith among Muslims with reference to Sunan Ibn Majah, has given more examples of fabricated ahadith under the following eight categories of causes of fabrication[21]
- Political Differences;
- Factions Based On Issues Of Creed;
- Fabrications By Zanadiqah (Enemies-Within Spreading Heretical Beliefs);
- Fabrications By Story-Tellers;
- Fabrications By Ignorant Ascetics;
- Prejudice In Favour Of Town, Race Or A Particular Imam;
- Inventions For Personal Motives;
- Proverbs Turned Into Ahadith.
Similar to the last category above is the case of Isra'iliyat ("Israelite traditions"), narrations from the Jews and the Christians[22] which were wrongly attributed to the Prophet (SAW)
One of the problems in the Muslim world today is trying to work out whether what you are being told about Islam is genuine or not. We are divided into sects and they follow things that are based in Islam and also things that are NOT based in Islam’’. End quote.
A number of traditionists have collected fabricated ahadith separately in order to distinguish them from other ahadith; among them are Ibn al-Jauzi in Al-Maudu`at, al-Jauzaqani in Kitab al-Abatil, al-Suyuti in Al-La'ali al- Masnu'ah fi 'l-Ahadith al-Maudu`ah, and `Ali al-Qari in Al-Maudu`at.
Here are hadith that have been fabricated – Be aware of them as they are verified by scholars of science of Hadith/Ulamas and found to be untrue and so should not be relied upon.
Some of these ahadith were known to be spurious by the confession of their inventors.
For example, Muhammad b. Sa`id al-Maslub used to say, "It is not wrong to fabricate an isnad for a sound statement[23]." Another notorious inventor, `Abd al-Karim Abu 'l-Auja, who was killed and crucified by Muhammad b. Sulaiman b. `Ali, governor of Basrah, admitted that he had fabricated four thousand ahadith declaring lawful the prohibited and vice-versa.
1) When Adam committed the sin of approaching the forbidden tree, he said, “O Lord, I beg of Thee to Forgive me due to the right of Muhammad (SAW) over You” So Allah said, “O Adam, how did you know about Muhammad (SAW) seeing that I have not yet created him.” He (Adam) replied, “O Lord, when You Created me with Your own hands and blew in me of Your soul, I raised up my head, thereupon I saw on the pillar of Your throne; There is no god but Allah and Muhammad (SAW) is His Messenger; written on it. I therefore know that You wouldn’t have mentioned someone’s name beside Yours unless he was the most beloved person to You in the whole of Your creation.” So Allah said to him, “O Adam, you have spoken rightly, verily he is the most loved by Me of all My creation. Call upon Me by his right over Me and I’ll forgive you. And if it wasn’t for Muhammad (SAW) I wouldn’t have created you.” (Related by Al-Haakim as very weak; Adh-Dhahabee classified it as fabricated)

Allah then Gave them sexual desires. They then finally descended to the Earth. Upon reaching Earth there came to them a woman called Zuhra and they both fell in love with her. So they both began to conceal from each other the feelings of lust, which they had in their hearts for Zuhra. One of them returned to her; then the other same and said, “Do you feel what I feel for her?” He said, “Yes.” Then they both asked her for her body. She replied, “I will never submit my body to you both until you teach me the secret word that you use to ascend the Heavens and return to Earth.” Then both Harut and Marut refused; then again they asked for her body but she refused also. They both then gave in and taught her the secret words to ascend in the Heavens. She immediately used it and as soon as she ascended the Heavens, Allah tossed a star at her, which destroyed all her wings. Harut and Marut then begged Allah to forgive them; so Allah gave them a choice. He Said, “If you like, I can Return you to your angelic state and punish you now in the duniya and return you to your angelic state on Judgement Day.” One of the them said to the other, “The punishment of duniya is temporary.” So they chose to be punished in the duniya rather than to be punished in the Hereafter. Allah then Told them to go to Babylon, so they both went there and stayed. They are presently hanging between the Heavens and the Earth, being punished until Judgement Day.

4.0 conclusion
This is a discussion on Fabricated Hadith - Abdullah Faisal and others within the Sciences of Hadith forums, part of the Main Topics category; 100 Fabricated Hadith The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "He who tells a lie on me intentionally, let take his seat in the hellfire. Bukhari Vo. 1 No 107
When a laity casts doubt as to the authenticity of a Hadith, that doubter is asked by his/her elders to stop treading the perilous path and consult an `Alim or scholar of Hadith.
Here an `Alim is warning the believers of serious consequences (such as hell fire) for knowingly propagating lies (fabricated narrations), in the name of the Prophet (SAW).
Many of the Hadiths listed above are the ones that we often hear from the people and the preachers.
Our duty is to convey the message. The "Fabricated ahadith stunt the spiritual growth of the Muslim Ummah."

Ibn al-Qayyim mentions more than ten clear indications of the forgery of the document, which the Jews repeatedly attempted to use to deceive the Muslims over the centuries, but each time a scholar of Hadith intervened to point out the forgery - such incidents occurred with Ibn Jarir al-Tabari (d. 310), al-Khatib al-Baghdadi (d. 463) and Ibn Taimiyyah (d. 728), who spat on the document as it was unfolded from beneath its silken covers.
[22] The Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) allowed such narrations, but they are not to be confirmed nor denied, except for what is confirmed or denied by the Qur'an and Sunnah. See e.g. An Introduction to the Principles of Tafseer of Ibn Taimiyyah (trans. M.A.H. Ansari, Al-Hidaayah, Birmingham, 1414/1993), pp. 56-58.
